There were so many different documents flying around on my laptop and I’m delirious from not sleeping and I totally blanked on this Florence Welch article that was just sitting there, waiting to be posted. Thanks for the reminder, Erin! Duana was right. Punk became Game Of Thrones theme night at the MET Gala. Full Story

There will be a lot of safe tonight at the MET Gala, despite the Punk theme of the event this year. Most actresses in particular just don’t have the imagination or the balls. The punk pressure then may be on the musicians. A press release was just sent out -- Gwen Stefani will be wearing a custom designed Maison Martin Margiela. Full Story

You want a costume?THIS is a costume. THIS is art. It’s exquisite. It’s a statement. It’s requires a specific wearer. And you can’t wear it anywhere else. You can’t even find it anywhere else. Unlike what we just saw with Michael Kors and Alba and Swank, Florence Welch in McQueen by Sarah Burton is what you’ll remember. 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.

For Douglas who is dealing with some sh-tty news... Let yourself wallow, but not too long. Because you have to believe she’ll fight through it. As requested, here’s Florence Welch arriving at Letterman last week and performing the night before at the SPIN party in New York. Video below. And finally. Full Story

Remember when Jakey and Natalie used to date for 5 minutes? They are much better as friends, I know, but I was also really into it when they kissed in Brothers. Anyway, Natalie’s been closely involved with FINCA for a number of years now, and she showed up at the 25th anniversary event in New York and so did Jake and they greeted each other affectionately and posed together which pretty much kills any chance of the two of them rekindling because you know how it works – when there’s something to hide, they’ll make it obvious by avoiding each other; their willingness to be together then means that they’re actually never going to be together. Full Story
