Massive premiere in London today – the final, final, FINAL carpet for the Harry Potter series in the motherland. There will be a premiere in New York on Monday but ... Harry is English, England is the heart of it. And here they almost all are to say goodbye and thank you. No, thank YOU. F-ck me I am crying again. Full Story

Coming to you later with new photos of Rafael Nadal... Oh but they played some beautiful tennis for a while there yesterday, didn’t they? As you know, as has been previously mentioned several times on this site, between the two, for me it is Rafa > Roger. Always. Anna Wintour, however, has no time for Rafa. Full Story

Kate Winslet doesn’t go out every night in New York. Hardly. But she stepped out last night to honour Mario Testino at the El Museo Del Barrio Gala. As you know, Testino is responsible for what Prince William regards as the best photos ever taken of his mother. For that reason, he asked Testino to shoot his engagement portraits. Full Story

Simon Cowell wanted her. And she was negotiating for a while with Fox, but today it’s been confirmed: Cheryl Cole is a judge on US X Factor. She’ll start shooting on Friday. Said Simon: “I’m thrilled for Cheryl. She is massively excited about this show, and has been fantastic to work with. Full Story

As noted in the open, the Costume Institute Gala goes down tonight and it’s a tribute to the late Lee McQueen and his label Alexander McQueen. Great timing. On Friday, Kate Middleton arrived at Westminster Abbey in a gown designed by Sarah Burton, the Creative Director of the House of McQueen and now just three days later, McQueen is being celebrated at the most high profile fashion event of the year. Full Story

The Wall Street Journal just profiled Anna Wintour. Or, more accurately, Anna Wintour’s power. If you’re into it, and you know I am, there are some fascinating anecdotes. I particularly like the one about Renee Zellweger, how Anna “closely managed her image”, which totally explains the hard posing, the back bones jutting, the jaw clenching. Full Story

Last week it was a Chanel dinner in New York. This weekend there was a Chanel dinner in her honour in Paris. During Fashion Week. I mean… It’s a big f-cking deal. Even Anna Wintour showed up for Blake Lively. And Florence Welch. And so many other important French fashion people. Also, while in Paris, she went shoe shopping with Christian Louboutin, not Lew-boo-tawn Full Story

Victoria Beckham has been in New York the last few days presenting her latest collection to the people who matter. Clever bitch that she is, she also let it drop that in addition to all the other famous people who’ve worn her designs (Drew Barrymore, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez), she could be adding a Princess to that list. Full Story

It’s not like Blake Lively wasn’t given a fair chance. She was probably given an UNfair chance. After all, in comparison to the other actors being considered for the role – Knightley, Portman, Mulligan, Hall, Johansson – how, really, has she demonstrated she’s even in their league? But Anna Wintour loves her (more on this later) and her agent is working hard to convince people that she can do more than just mumble, and so Baz Luhrmann, he agreed to see her for Daisy in The Great Gatsby. Full Story

She’s currently living through yet another cheating scandal and even if it’s a fraud, as they are so indignantly claiming, it doesn’t make it any less embarrassing, especially since the new alleged incident is bringing up memories of the old Loos incident. Remember when she used her scrunchie? Posh’s favourite cliché mantra has always been “whatever doesn’t kill you will make you stronger”. Full Story

Any time, right? Love these photos so much. Of Anna Wintour in London yesterday for fashion week, at the Nicole Farhi show, seated beside not boring Blake Lively but the impossibly charismatic Bill Nighy, and because of him actually managed an (almost) genuine smile. Am now obsessed with the picture of him kissing her ear. Full Story

Belongs to Blake Lively. So she’s losing out on a movie role to Natalie Portman. Last night though she still owned the most coveted spot in style at Fashion’s Night Out next to her bff Anna Wintour. How many bitches would take a pair of scissors to her blonde hair over this chair? But… there’s no imagination in choosing Blake Lively. Full Story

Oh well now this is just cruel. So you know Blake Lively has covered US Vogue twice. And you know Victoria Beckham has covered US Vogue never. Because Anna Wintour loves one and hates the other. Now Blake is covering UK Marie Claire. And in the interview, Blake boasts about her friendship with Wintour, namechecking the famed editor and breezily dropping the kind of details you’d usually expect to come from someone like Gwyneth Paltrow: "I was speaking with Anna Wintour and we were just talking about different fashion houses and I said, 'I love Chanel,' and she said, 'You should come with me to the show. Full Story

Girl sh-t is the best sh-t. Does it get better in Paris? Michelle, Duana, and I have had stupid schedules the last several months which have f-cked our Gossip Girl chats. But we were all going meh on the show anyway. Michelle however sent this over yesterday wondering if it would make us care again. Full Story
