It's apparently Kanye day here at ELLE.com. If Marc Jacobs really does make a move to Christian Dior, who will take over Louis Vuitton? The storied French luggage maker owes its ready-to-wear reputation to Jacobs, who was asked to turn Vuitton into a lifestyle brand in 1997. Since then, Jacobs’ clothes have held their own against inimitable accessories—and we’re not just talking about logo bags—and become celebrity favorites. The Vuitton show in Paris has become as anticipated as Jacobs’ own in New York and, though it traditionally closes the season, sets the tone for trends to come. Rumor has it Bernard Arnault, the owner and president of LVMH, favors Phoebe Philo for the job. So desperate was Arnault to get Philo to join his stable of stars that three years ago, he offered her anything. Philo chose to reinvent Céline instead launching her own eponymous label and quickly turned the dusty house into fashion’s favorite. Now, WWD reports that Arnault would like her to creatively direct Louis Vuitton—while also leading the team at Céline. It sounds like an impossibly huge responsibility to lead both, quite disparate brands, though there’s no doubt the fashion world can’t get enough of Philo. Guess all that talk of over-working designers was little more than just that!
Amber.Stardoll- Congratulations is in order to Scrubs star Donald Faison! He recently got engaged to his longterm girlfriend Cacee Cobb, and the couple revealed the happy news in a slightly unordinary way...
Donald posted the following line from Beyonce's song Single Ladies on his Twitter yesterday: "If you like it, then you better put a ring on it.”
And shortly there after, Cacee responded: "If she likes it, then she better say YES!”
Friends of the couple have been quick to give their well-wishes, with Jessica Simpson (Cacee's former employer on the set of Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica) posting a picture of Cacee with her engagement ring on with the caption, "Congratulations, Cacee! I love you and your man!” and Donald's Scrubs colleague and close friend Zach Braff writing, “Congratulations to Donald and CaCee on their engagement. Just wish I was there to run around you both with sparklers.”
After 5 years together, it was about time he popped the question!

It’s been a few months since WWD granted column space to a Dior rumor, but today Marc Jacobs gets his name in big bold letters. It was originally rumored that LVMH would wait to announce a successor until this fall, to give them time to weigh their options but also to keep the fall collection from being over-shadowed. So timing wise, the heated gossip that Marc Jacobs is their man, makes sense. Jacobs has helmed the LVMH owned Louis Vuitton label for fourteen years, and should be negotiating that contract, but sources say they’ve switched gears and he, as well as business partner Robert Duffy and a team of lawyers, have been busy meeting with Bernard Arnault to talk about Dior (even though in 2003, Arnault told the trade paper, “Had I hired Marc Jacobs for Dior and John Galliano for Louis Vuitton, it would not have worked as well for both brands, even though both designers are geniuses of their own.”). Meanwhile, sources also tell WWD that Lanvin‘s Alber Elbaz, Balenciaga’s Nicolas Ghesquiere and Alexander McQueen’s Sarah Burton have told Arnault that they’re not interested in leading Dior, leaving only Riccardo Tisci‘s name floating around near Jacobs’. With fashion week quickly approaching, it shouldn’t be long before the year’s most important fashion question is answered.

- Now we know the real reason why Victoria Beckham has barely left her house since the birth of little baby Harper. She hasn't been on some crazy post baby diet, but rather been suffering from a serious back injury!
According to reports, Victoria aggravated an old injury when she gave birth, resulting in a slipped disc. The reports about the seriousness of her condition are varying, but some are saying that she's in so much pain she can barely even hold little Harper! A spokesperson has now addressed the rumors, giving a short statement saying, “Victoria has a back condition. She is resting and receiving treatment.”
However serious it may be, we do hope she feels better soon!
ElleGirl- Every now and then, we come across an amazing brand which really catches us by surprise. And we mean really. Because finding a line that has particularly high quality and a price that’s totally affordable is super rare and totally comes as a shock when we do find them. Lucky for you, we’ve rounded up the best of the unexpectedly affordable brands (so you can own a covetable piece of for way less than you thought).

- Celebrities are usually quite adamant about giving hugs to fans because of the possible transfer of germs and what not, but Nick Cannon who is married to one of the biggest celebrity clean freaks there is, recently decided to make the Guinness World Record of most hugs given! Nick hosted an event at the Mets Plaza in Queens, New York, yesterday in hopes of giving out 1800 hugs to break the previous record. We can't imagine wifey Mariah Carey was fully on board with the idea... She probably stayed far, far away! For his children's sake, we really hope he didn't catch anything icky.

- One of our favorite things about transitioning from summer to fall is changing up our footwear! While classic black never goes out of style, this fall it’s all about our favorite color—well shade, maybe. What’s more, fall shoes definitely beat out summer picks. It’s officially time to toss out your worn out sandals and flip flops and make room for some of falls hottest shoes. We round up our favorite (and affordable) chicest black fall footwear, so you can really step into the new season (no pun intended) with more than enough style to go around. An edgy combat boot is a must for fall. Dress it up, or down, and strut a rocker-chic look no matter what.

- We guess the break-up rumors weren't true after all! The world's most talked-about teen couple were spotted picking up smoothies at Smoothie King in Philadelphia yesterday, and they were holding hands and staying close the entire time. Some will probably sigh of relief, while others will pick up their plans for Selena's demise right where they left them...

- Sometimes we have a hard time choosing between a short dress or a long dress, but lately here's been a new hybrid of dress that makes that decision so much easier for us: the mullet dress. The mullet dress is short in the front and long in the back (like that terrible 80's hairstyle). While we're not huge fans of this trend, some celebs like Selena Gomez have managed to pull it off! What do you think of the mullet dress? Love or hate?
