Jerseylicious, the guilty pleasure of the year, is back! I admit it, I am obsessed with ridiculous reality shows and timing couldn’t be more perfect considering I’m going to need something to watch on Sundays since True Blood is coming to an end.

The new season of Jerseylicious begins Sunday the 5th and I’m so ready to see more ish go down between Olivia and Tracy. Olivia is easily my favorite cast member and no it’s not because my dog’s name is Olivia it’s just because she is obviously a victim of some crazy bitch wrath. A newly brunette Tray Tray on the other hand reminds me of a ton of baby bitches I’v had altercations with given most of my life was spent in the Valley (like totally).

If the drama doesn’t win you maybe the major fashion inspirations will. Did you see Tracy’s recent look we we’re obsessed with?

Blake Lively landed the cover of October’s issue of Marie Claire UK and while the entire interview isn’t online I came across an answer to a question that had me losing sleep: “Why and how are Anna Wintour and Blake Lively friends”?

“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’. I also said I loved Dior. She said ‘OK, well I’ll take you to the Chanel and Dior shows and we’ll meet with Karl and John [Galliano] afterwards. Insane!’”

Whoa that was easy! Lucky biotch!

I’m so going to make sure to say “I love Yves Saint Laurent and Lanvin” when I see Wintour. Let’s just see if she invites me to these shows. Yeah, I’m effing kidding and incredibly sad right now.

Betsey is such a cutie!

Steve Madden has stepped in to save Betsey Johnson from her debt by loaning her $48.8 Million. If she doesn’t pay him back by 2012 Madden will likely be possessing all things “Betsey Johnson”.

“Madden already holds a license for handbags, small leather goods, belts and umbrellas under the Betsey Johnson and Betseyville trademarks. The collateral for the loan includes the company’s intellectual property, so Madden could be in line for the labels it holds as licensee. Also included among the items securing the loan are “the borrower’s personal property, accounts, deposit accounts and cash, equipment, fixtures, general intangibles, goods [and] inventory.”

This makes me feel bad and want to buy a ton of Betsey Johnson stuff even though I haven’t been cray cray for her since like freshman year of high-school (some of my first designer pieces of clothing were a few Betsey Johnson dresses.  Awww!) Debt sucks! Yeah never-mind Betsey, I can’t buy more off your stuff to save you from debt because I kind of have to save myself.

Alber Elbaz: Lanvin's Designer

Alber Elbaz uttered the words we all waited to hear this week in a press release that surfaced yesterday: “H&M approached us to collaborate, and see if we could translate the dream we created at Lanvin to a wider audience, not just a dress for less. I have said in the past that I would never do a mass-market collection, but what intrigued me was the idea of H&M going luxury rather than Lanvin going public.”

AEFIJIWWF. AWEIFJOWEIF!!!! The video we posted earlier had the whole fashion media world confused about who the man behind the silhouette was but the second we heard his voice we knew it was Alber!

“It is very much a Lanvin collection, using their cut and tailoring, with lots of focus on form and details for both women and men”, said H&M creative director, Margareta van den Bosch.

Sounds effing dope. We will get a peek at the collection on November 2nd. Ah!

“I’m not a sample size like Sarah and Kristin, and I couldn’t wear a lot of the clothes the young designers would send us. I’d wear a lot of vintage — some of things I wore were like pieces of art.”

-Kim Cattrall tells Vogue UK.

Leighton Meester was spotted wearing this VB by Victoria Beckham dress on the set of Gossip Girl last week. Back in July, Victoria Beckham paired her creation with some nude pumps while Leighton opted for some color.

Hairless models step aside! Michael Bastian is going for a more fuzzy look this season.

“I don’t wanna see any waxed chests, any waxed legs. Hairy—would love some facial hair…tough. We’re looking for Navy S.E.A.L.S. this time.”

Bastian’s selection of models never disappoints we just hope he finds enough furry model bears.

“We haven’t even started our casting yet. We see a thousand guys to get 30 guys—we see every guy in New York.”

Michael, it sounds like you need help with casting. BBM me. Puhlease!

Anna Wintour and Marc Jacobs were on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night to plug Fashion’s Night Out. The interview is really cute and makes me want to be their damn friends even more. Check out the video here.

Tim Gunn’s new book, “Gunn’s Golden Rules: Life’s Little Lessons for Making It Work” is one book I am kind of dying to read. Why? Because it’s the generally sweet people that go ape on everyone when they reveal stuff. Of course, Tim does it with class and here is what he had to say about some of the fashion world’s most interesting personalities:

Anna Wintour: “It’s insane that people don’t call her out on the things she does. Is it fear? I was certainly afraid of her. When her office called me, I thought I’d have to go into the witness protection program.”

Issac Mizrahi (whom he calls a spoiled snob in his book): “Oh, please, I was so kind to him. I mean, I wouldn’t have the words to describe some of the more abhorrent behavior. He really is a terrible, terrible, terrible person.”

Alexis Stewart: “One of the angriest people I’ve ever met. [She] kept cursing under her breath in anticipation of her mother coming — ‘goddamn bitch,’ almost as if she had Tourette’s syndrome. I was so horrified by how she treated her mother in front of a lot of people. Good heavens, you’re an adult!”

While the book is a guide it also serves as an autobiography of Gunn. Pick it up here.
