While prom’s a night when an ordinary girl slips on an elegant gown, it’s actually not that simple. Prom means so much more than the dress. It’s the flowers, the hair, the makeup, and the date. It’s that last hurrah before you finish your life as a high schooler and move onto an adult-like life (well, as adult-like as college can be, anyway). So when Disney released Prom this year, thousands of girls tuned in to see their dreams portrayed on-screen. We were lucky enough to chat with Yin Chang, the young star who plays Mei, a senior torn between her boyfriend and her ideal college. Yin gave us the nitty-gritty about her high school experience (including her own prom), her advice for teen girls, and how waiting for the right guy is better than floating from boy to boy.

We spent the morning wondering why Baz Luhrmann’s shooting The Great Gatsby in Australia. For a story so steeped in East Coast culture they sure are a long way from home. Now there’s even more Aussie news—apparently, Gemma Ward’s been cast in a “significant” role in the film. Sydney’s Herald Sun is reporting that Ward’s join the cast just in time for shooting, which starts next week. The rest of the cast is, of course, the much discussed Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire and Isla Fisher, so the really significant roles have already been cast and other than extras at the party there aren’t any huge roles outside of the five main characters. The movie isn’t listed on Ward’s IMDB page, and Ward isn’t listed on the film’s. If it is true, the fashion world will have to wait even longer for that long-awaited editorial comeback.

- Did you guys watch the VMAs? We did and they were awesome! Besides all of the amazing music acts and Beyonce announcing that she was preggers, our favorite part was the fashion! Some of it was totally crazy like Nicki Minaj (srsly, what's up with that?) and other stars looked completely fab, like Selena Gomez! Check out the best, worst, and craziest at the VMAs! Click on the pics to see all of the fab fashion! What do you guys think?

Beyoncé was the first pop-star to adopt an alter-ego, and who doesn’t want to follow in Bey’s footsteps? When I am…Sasha Fierce came out three years ago she released a statement saying, “I have someone else that takes over when it’s time for me to work and when I’m on stage, this alter ego that I’ve created that kind of protects me and who I really am.” Fierce brought the world “Single Ladies,” and “Irreplaceable,” so no one really cared whether they were watching Beyoncé or Sasha, especially since the qualities attributed to the latter—”fun, more sensual, more aggressive, more outspoken and more glamorous”—applied to Beyoncé, too. But now, other stars are giving birth to very different, very male alter-egos. Lady Gaga has Jo Calderone. Her male dopplegänger first popped up in a fashion editorial and then opened last night’s VMAs with a performance of her latest single “Yoü and I.” Then, after Nicki Minaj won a Moon Man for Best Hip Hop Video she ran backstage and said, “The new album is going to have a lot of Roman on it,” she said. Roman? “He’s a boy who lives inside of me. He’s a lunatic. And he’s gay.” You’ve actually met him before, he sort of sang “Roman’s Revenge” on Nicki’s debut album, Pink Friday, apparently just a taste of what’s to come. So who do you think is next? Will fall bring Taylor Swift’s gun-slinging, tobacco-chewing alter-ego or Kanye’s tutu-wearing inner ballerina?

- We are only two weeks away from fashion week, and things are definitely starting to get a little crazy. It’s especially crazy with the deadlines for production orders coming up in addition to getting everything in place for the show and the Spring ’12 samples. I have literally made the production office my home, and I just camped out there so I could run out and get things as they are needed. Luckily, they have Wi-Fi so I was able to keep up on emails and show info in between running around midtown. That night we had a going away party for one of our summer interns who’s heading back to school, which makes reality hit that the summer’s actually coming to an end. I really can’t believe how much it has flown by; when we started getting ready for the show at the beginning of June it seemed like we had all the time in the world, and now we are only two weeks away…ekkk!! That said, with all the work we still have to do for our show, we didn’t want all of Molly’s (our intern) hard work to go unnoticed and wanted to throw a small get together in her appreciation.

- No wonder Megan Fox says she would like to date her, Olivia Wilde is one of the most gorgeous women in the entertainment business right now! We saw her going out for lunch with friends earlier this week in Los Feliz, Los Angeles, and we're absolutely sure she managed to turn quite a few heads.

We knew that Sofia Coppola was getting married this weekend, to Phoenix’s Thomas Mars, in a palace her father had bought and renovated, but the most important question—what would she wear?—remained unanswered. The odds boiled down to Marc Jacobs and Azzedine Alaïa. The former because they’re close friends and the latter because she’d been one of the few celebrities to sit front row at his couture show last month—and because he’s Alaïa. In the end, Coppola wore an Alaïa that looked like a Marc Jacobs. The soft lavender and white silk dress gathered at the neck and cinched at the waist before poofing out into a skirt that hit just at the knee. Her hair was down and she looked as naturally gorgeous as we’ve come to expect from the director. Click through to see her with her husband and her father, Francis Ford Coppola, post-ceremony.
