Anna Wintour wants Lena Dunham for the cover of Vogue, according to a “well-placed magazine source” (a business crop top? An oversized pink coat for the autumn season?).
“Anna is trying to seduce Lena into bringing her next-generation audience into the Vogue brand,” says the insider. That makes sense? “If you enjoyed watching Lena Dunham cry about being unemployed, pantsless, in the bathtub on the hit television series GIRLS, you will love reading about $10,000 sweatshirts.”
Of course the article mentions that Dunham is “considered to be overweight” and brings up Adele. It’s great that we could be seeing more body diversity on the cover of Vogue, but 1) Lena’s body is an average woman body, and 2) there’s no point in squawking with alarm every time someone who doesn’t fit the industry standard is accepted into the fashion world.

Britney Spears will be lip-syncing her way through her Las Vegas residency, according to a leaked document that instructs Planet Hollywood staffers to lie about said lip-syncing. “Yes! She will be singing live!” “Certainly she will be singing live!” “Yes, all vocals will be live!” “No lip syncing will happen at the show,” are some very suspicious-sounding potential replies proffered up by the document. Nothing has ever sounded more like a lie than “Certainly she will be singing live!” Certainly!!!
In a “special notes” section of the document, though, it says: “All vocals will be prerecorded. [The live band] will be prerecorded also.” Wah wah. [NY Daily News]
Miley Cyrus may have been dating Theo Wenner, who works as a photographer for Rolling Stone because his dad owns Rolling Stone, since the summer. The source claims that the two have been romantically involved since Wenner shot Cyrus nude for the cover of the magazine (i.e., before Cyrus publicly split with her fiancee Liam Hemsworth). I am sorry if this revelation has ruined your firm belief in the enduring power of love. I know a lot of you derive your strength from believing that what Miley and Liam had was real. [HuffPo]
A second source says Miley and Theo are “new friends” and “not dating.” Ugh, all this speculation about strangers is so confusing sometimes! [NY Daily News]
