Marc Jacobs has expressed interest in starring in a reality show of his own.

Helena Christensen - www.bbc.co.uk
Supermodel and photographer Helena Christensen will once again step in front of the cameras, this time for the French edition of the iconic men’s magazine Playboy.
“I’m doing a French Playboy shoot with Paolo Reversi,” says Christensen, who just recently launched her capsule collection for Monsoon.
But before getting all excited and assuming that Helena will pose in her birthday suit for the Playboy shoot, think again. According to the stunning supermodel, the Playboy shoot “will be done in ‘70’s-style, so it’s really all about the innocence and playfulness of it!”
Kylie Minogue - www.people.com
Jewelry brand Tous has announced its choice of pop star Kylie Minogue as the company’s new face.
Details of the deal between Minogue and Tous were not disclosed, but Vogue says the two parties agreed to a three-year contract extending through to 2010, which calls for the singer-actress to star in the brand's print, outdoor and online advertising campaigns, which will be shot abroad this month.
Harper's Bazaar - fabsugar.com
Harper’s Bazaar, one of the world’s leading fashion publications, is turning 140 years old this year. To celebrate this milestone, the magazine, which began publication in 1867, will feature a photo tour of its vintage issues in its November issue.
Also, this month’s issue will feature quotes from some famous designers, who were asked the "why don't you?" question made famous by former Harper’s Bazaar columnist Diane Vreeland. Here are some of them:
Ralph Lauren:
"Why don't you belt your boyfriend's shirt and wear it as a dress?"
Queen Elizabeth II - www.librarising.com
Queen Elizabeth II may be an octogenarian, but age doesn’t seem to matter as far as glamour is concerned. At least that’s what British Vogue apparently had in mind when it named the 81-year-old Queen one of the 50 most glamorous women in the world.
And The Queen is in mighty good company, as this month's special issue also includes supermodels Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell, as well as actress Dame Helen Mirren, whose portrayal of the monarch on film won her an Oscar Best Actress trophy early this year.

Cindy Crawford
It’s been quite some time since we last saw Cindy Crawford grace the cover of a major fashion magazine, that is why her appearance on the cover of the November 2007 issue of Vogue Russia is such a welcome present for fans of The Moled One.
Her fans will absolutely be thrilled to see her do fashion once again, clad in a fur coat with a black mini dress underneath. And she still looks great after all these years, despite having been virtually inactive in the industry to become a full-time wife to husband Rande Gerber and mother to kids Presley and Kaya.
