Today is kind of a milestone of mine, because it's my one year anniversary at Jossip HQ. I started out as an intern over at Jossip.com for a few months before being moved over to Mollygood full-time, so it's not my real first anniversary yet, but I'm sentimental and celebrate anytime I can. I remember showing up at what I have dubbed The Tiniest Starbucks In The World across the street from Bryant Park to interview for the internship and staring across out the window at all of the celebrities and models (and Nigel Barker!). I hadn't a clue I would be there a year later, which is what made this Fashion Week exciting for me. CONTINUED »
• Two of the most obnoxious people on the planet doing really good things. [INO]
• We can think of a lot more reasons for Nicole Richie to be sick of Paris Hilton, but this one will suffice. [ICYDK]
• The Simpson sisters drag their significant others along to terrorize Lake Tahoe. [PS]
• Eva Longoria becomes the latest celebrity to — gasp! — show off cellulite. [HT]
• Jennifer Lopez doesn't have nannies because nobody wants to work for her, not because she's an overachieving mother. [DListed]

Suddenly, after several years of being at the bottom of the fashion heap, black models are back on top. In a big way. Not only are they exclusively populating the pages of this month’s super-hyped Vogue Italia, Wintour & Co. also begrudgingly gave them some attention. At Milan’s Men’s Fashion Week, the designers of Dsquared used a group of models, led by Tyson Beckford, made up almost entirely of black men. And rumor has it that Lanvin’s show next week has an “all-ethnic lineup.”
CariDee English, the seventh season winner of America's Next Top Model, first exercised her bad judgment when auditioning for the Tyra Banks-created reality show. Then she admitted to dating a guy who stole $10,000 of her money to spend in Vegas (we never knew she and Kevin Federline were an item).
But the latest bit of idiocy came last night when CariDee announced that she is currently dating fellow model (and ginormous tool) Tyson Beckford. Um, Cari? Perhaps you should get back with that K-Fed-esque guy.

Don't worry, this isn't a spoiler: The five contestants who remained after Wednesday night's broadcast of Project Runway showed their collections at Bryant Park today so as not to give away the real final three.
After the break: The designer behind each outfit, along with more pictures. CONTINUED »
All throughout Fashion Week, I had one mission in mind: To sneak into the Project Runway show. I lingered around the Bryant Park tents last weekend, getting a feel for the place and mentally drawing up a plan as to how to sneak in without actually having my name on the list. I woke up early this morning prepared for battle. Of course, it ended badly.
(At right: The face of a reject.) CONTINUED »
Fashion Week continued Saturday night with the Rock and Republic runway show and afterparty, both of which I was lucky enough to attend.
This was my first time to visit the Bryant Park tents, and it was insanely overwhelming: There were swarms of people pushing past me in an effort to get to the show on time. Except, of course, the show started almost an hour late. We were herded like cattle into an area behind the seats where we could hardly see the runway, but it didn't matter: I was at Fashion Week, and you simply couldn't beat the atmosphere. CONTINUED »
We may not be fashion gurus, but there were some outfits spotted around Bryant Park this weekend that made us go, "Really? You wanted to wear that?"
We picked the eight worst for your consideration. The top spot, of course, went to Perez Hilton, because there is nothing nice to say about his ensemble. At all.
• Did Jessica Alba get breast implants? Or was it double-sided tape? Or childhood illness? Well, that god awkward real quick, didn't it? [WWTDD]
• Ashlee Simpson's face is still totally unsettling. Ugly duckings everywhere need a new role model. [Hollywood Tuna]
• "Hey kids, meet your new daddy, David Spade. He won't molest you for at least a couple more years."–Heather Locklear [Hot Momma Drama]
• No matter what she's doing, even asking an airline employee a question, Nicole Ritchie looks like an idiot. [The Gilded Moose]
• I'm not sure what is more terrifing, Vivica Fox's face or Tyson Beckford's goatee. [Hollywood Rag]
• Always remember, Paris isn't the only Hilton who can get drunk and make a fool out of herself. Nicky does her part, too. [PopSugar]
