Amber.Stardoll- We were shocked when we heard that Jennifer Lopez went on a date with Bradley Cooper, they just seem so mismatched! But apparently it was all a set up by J.Lo herself! When Jen called Bradley and asked him to dinner, he thought it was just going to a low-key business dinner but somehow it was leaked to the paps as a romantic date! And fingers point towards J.Lo as the snitch! We think J.Lo pulled this stunt to keep her name in the press and to make her ex, Marc Anthony, jealous! All we can say is "lame!" (thesuperficial)

- We all know that Madonna is a total diva, a status that she pretty much deserves, but sometimes even a diva can take things too far. Rumor has that Madonna forced volunteers at the TIFF Festival in Toronto to turn away from her and FACE THE WALL while she made her entrance backstage.
What the....?! Apparently Madonna thinks her presence is too sacred for measly volunteers. The eight volunteers were working backstage at the festival and when Madonna was making her way to a press conference they all had to turn to the wall so they couldn't catch a glimpse of the pop icon! We really want this to just be rumor but with Madonna's latest spoiled attitude, who knows? (perezhilton)

- Even the most seasoned celebs sometimes trip and fall. Our fave fashionistas often wear high heels, so you'd think they'd have a lot of practice but we've seen Kim Kardashian and Amanda Seyfried trip, stumble, and fall. Click on the pics and check out these high heeled faux pas!

At yesterday’s Rodarte show Kate and Laura Mulleavy revealed their Van Gogh-inspired spring collection. The inspiration was so obvious, and at times so literal, that it prompted one critic to worry about copyright issues. Suzy Menkes wasn’t a fan. She wrote, “Where did the Mulleavy sisters lose their touch at Rodarte? There were other outfits in vivid mixes of blue and green that had an allure — although not the dark undertone usually associated with the design duo, who said they were obsessed with the saturated, filmic colors of Disney’s 1959 Sleeping Beauty…but [they] did not push their concept forward enough to make it seem like more than just another floral frock,” but WWD loved it, “This collection bore evidence of a desire to be more commercial while protecting the artistry at the core of their work. If the designers felt the strain of compromise, it resulted in a beautiful thing.” The one thing no one’s debating? That Rodarte attracted the most star studded front row this week. Beyoncé (with Solange), Taylor Swift, Rooney Mara, Miranda July, and both Fannings brought A-list start power to the afternoon show. Elle and Dakota chose pretty different looks, so which one’s your favorite?

There are many unspoken rules of Fashion Week—who gets to sit where, who gets to go where, who gets to talk to whom—but few garner as much attention as who gets to wear what. With a gauntlet of street style photographers at the front of Lincoln Center and a cadre of paparazzi staked out in the back (never mind the rows and rows of eager editors with camera phones), it’s likely that if you are remotely recognizable, your picture will be taken and your outfit will be broadcast out and discussed as much as (if not more than) the actual clothing shown on the runway. This is especially the case for celebrities, and while there is no right way to dress for Fashion Week, you can usually break down their choices into three specific groups. Vera Wang’s spring ’12 show this morning is the perfect case study for this New York Fashion Week phenomenon: the Front Row Fashion Tribes.

- We spotted the lovely Renee Zellweger heading to the Carolina Herrera fashion show! Renee, who is set to play Bridget Jones in the THIRD movie (!!!) looked fantastic in a ruched Carolina Herrara dress with nude heels. We especially loved the pop of neon yellow and green from her purse. Renee is always so stylish, love it!

Three very different designers hosted three very different presentations this week: Thom Browne invited editors to the New York Public Library while Chris Benz held court at Lincoln Center and the Lake and the Stars fittingly showed their hip swim and lingerie collection downtown at Milk Studios. Through the New York Public Library’s marble hallways and staircases we went to catch Thom Browne’s twenties-themed action. After being corralled behind velvet ropes we watched girls pose as household items. One, for example, was inside a birdcage resembling a cockatoo in a sheer white feathered dress while two others stood at attention, playing curtains to an invisible window. Another emerged in Browne’s signature avant-preppy clothes, fixing herself a drink as friends began piling into the room accompanied by human bouquets and extra-long cigarette holders gossiping (we guess) about suspended kilts and diagonally draped fringe dresses.
ElleGirl- Fashion Week’s known for all the unique visions, refreshing color combinations, and sometimes shocking trends…and the same can easily be said about the hair and makeup. We’ll be honest though—there’s nothing like the quintessential element of your everyday all-natural look: the nude lip. It’s understated, it’s wearable, and it won’t distract from your killer outfit. Based on the spring 2012 runways, here are five perfect nude lip colors.

- There is nothing we love more than a man who rides a bike! We think it's so hot, especially when that man is Hugh Jackman! We spotted Wolverine (er, Hugh) riding an eco-friendly fold-up bike! We don't think anyone has ever looked better riding a bike!
