Backstage at fashion shows, models don't get privacy when they change. Tell you something you don't know, right? No, sorry — we might not, since we just read a really long story about models getting naked backstage in today's New York Times 'Styles' section. Reporters, photographers, makeup artists, hairstylists, security guards, and general hanger-onners are all backstage when the models prep for the runway. Guy Trebay, who has seen hundreds of models changing backstage at the shows, writes:

What is strangest, perhaps, about this particular form of employment — for which there is no comprehensive job description — is that being around rooms filled with unclad women and men is anything but stimulating.

Maybe that's because — according to men we're not sure we believe — runway models aren't hot. They just... look like runway models

“When you see some doll walking down the catwalk in some sheer thing or nearly naked, it’s fashion,” Mr. Blanks remarked in Paris last week. “If you saw that same girl pole dancing in a club, it would be hot.”

Marc Jacobs's holiday parties are legendary. The theme is executed to the nines and attendees dress up with the same enthusiasm. They don't just put on a headband with furry triangles and call themselves cats. Oh no. They go to the Halloween spa in Iceland and get treatments that enable their bodies to grow actual fur and claws for a day. Well, not really but the preparation required is just about as intense. So what do the posh fabulous people invited have to prepare for this year? Marc just revealed the theme: "Rock and Roll Circus." According to WWD the invite references the documentary The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus about the Stones' 1968 concerts. That part's all fine and well, but can someone tell us what is up with all the fashion-meets-circus stuff lately? On Saturday, Diesel's 30th-Anniversary party in Brooklyn has the same "Rock and Roll Circus" theme. And what's more, Heatherette designer Richie Rich's ad campaign for his forthcoming Hot Topic line has a "dark circus" theme. So... are clowns going to pop up on the runways in February? Alongside models in stilts? Oh wait — they already do that.

This is the November cover of W, shot by Brad Pitt. As you can see, Angelina is breast feeding her baby. There's more where that came from inside the issue — which hits stands October 21 — also shot by Brad. Indeed, we appreciate that she appears stripped of the veneer that plagues magazine covers more often than it helps them. Don't get us wrong — we're sure this was Photoshopped considerably (just because all images in magazines are) but it's nice to look at a cover and not wonder how much thinner they made its subject.

Maybe Roger Federer shouldn't have left Anna Wintour hanging on the front rows at Fashion Week. According to the New York Post she has a new crush. His name is Gerard Butler and he's a Scottish actor who stars in Guy Ritchie's new movie, RocknRolla, and previously starred in 300 and P.S. I Love You. Sounds innocent enough. But who is this man, really, who Anna reportedly "talks about all the time"? We did a spot of research and, well, there's no easy way to say this, A-Dubs, but he's kind of a bad boy.
