Were you one of the 4.6 million people who watched the premiere of NBC’s Fashion Star on Tuesday night? Yeah, me neither. But those numbers translated into big sales for Macy’s, Saks and H&M, all of whom reported that they had sold out of contestants’ winning designs by Wednesday afternoon.

There is no dearth of fashion reality shows on television with the pioneering Project Runway immediately coming to mind. But with nine seasons and a spin off under its belt, PJ Runway hasn’t necessarily set the fashion world ablaze. It’s doubtful NBC’s Fashion Star will be any different, but with a $6 million contract with Macy’s, Saks Fifth Ave and H&M at stake, its contestants will at least have something to show for their efforts besides an air kiss from Heidi Klum and claw marks from Nina Garcia.

- Anna Wintour apparently got lost on her way to something that actually mattered as she made a pit stop at the Webbys to accept the award for Best Fashion Site. Her acceptance speech, in its entirety: “Sometimes geeks can be chic.” She gets it. [Styleite]

- After five lucrative, statement-shouldered years, Balmain and creative director Christophe Decarnin are getting a divorce. What will happen to the sequined jackets?! No one ever thinks about the sequined jackets! Decarnin was notoriously absent from the Fall 2011 show in Paris under speculation of a mental break, but sources say the designer and Balmain’s chairman/CEO Alain Hivelin just didn’t see eye to eye. An internal hire is expected to be announced shortly. [WWD]

I’ve got at least two new items to add to my Birthday/Christmas wish list and Lindsay proves it can be easy being chic while lying through your teeth under oath. And a rap icon’s body turns cold without having his gat explode.
