- In other YSL news, Jessica Chastain's ad for the new fragrance, "Manifesto" may have "leaked" online. Are we still pretending things are "leaked" nowadays? Okay, I'm a team player. [The Cut]

- The Pirelli Calendar, that annual excuse to strip models down to their birthday suits and call it art, has enlisted another prize-winning selection of models including Liya Kebede, Petra Nemcova, Isabeli Fontana -- maybe Karlie Kloss? -- and a prego Adriana Lima. [Huff Po]

- Vera Wang, fresh from separating from her husband of 23 years, is rumored to be shacking up with figure skater Evan Lysacek, who I coulda sworn was a gay but then again I mighta just been blinded by all the spandex and sequins -- as I so often am. [Styleite]

- Everyone's talking about the friggin' Olympics, but honestly, this is what it's all about -- an Absolutely Fabulous special. Trail it:
