GINA GERSHON TO PLAY DONATELLA VERSACE

Lifetime has just announced Gina Gershon as the actress who’ll bring perma-tanned Donatella to life in their new biopic, House of Versace. It’s basically perfect casting – and also handily foreshadowed in Gershon’s earlier work. Here she is in Showgirls, talking about ‘Ver-sayce’ and wearing a studded black leather cowboy jacket that would make Donatella proud. [Hollywood Reporter]

ANNIE LEIBOVITZ SHOOTS GRACE CODDINGTON, HELEN MIRREN ETC FOR M&S

It’s not a Harper’s power list spread of British women, but it sure looks like it. M&S has gone upscale with a Annie Leibovitz campaign featuring Grace Coddington, Helen Mirren, Tracey Emin, Ellie Goulding, Darcey Bussell and a host of other leading women, all assembled under the strapline “Meet Britain’s Leading Ladies”. M&S are hoping it’ll revive their fortunes after a disappointing drop in sales. [Sky]

CAN VOGUE MAKE GOOGLE GLASS COOL?

There’s a casting surprise in the September issue of Vogue: Google Glass. The Silicon Valley innovation is making its Vogue debut in a 12-page spread, modelled alongside haute couture. The general aim seems to be about making Google Glass less like like a smug geek accessory and more like a fashion-forward piece of tech. Hopefully they’ll succeed. [NYT]

BLOGGERS ARE MAKING SERIOUS, SERIOUS MONEY

While it might be a struggle for new blogs to get noticed, more established bloggers are raking it in to the tune of a few million. Thanks to savvy partnerships with affiliate programmes like RewardStyle, bloggers can skim a bit of cash off every time a reader clicks on a ‘buy now’ link in their blog. No wonder Garance Doré looks so happy. [Fashionista]

DEREK LAM WANTS YOU TO BUY HIS WINE

There’s no end to designers’ ingenuity, especially when it comes to brand extensions. So make way for Derek Lam’s newest venture, ‘Poetry by Derek Lam’, a limited-edition wine created in collaboration with Napa Valley’s Cliff Lede Vineyards. The cabernet sauvignon will be available in October. Wonder what kind of booze Marc Jacobs or Karl Lagerfeld would make… [R29]

IS SHE? ISN’T SHE? IS SHE? ISN’T SHE?

Is Beyoncé pregnant for the second time? Nobody knows. What we do know: she cancelled a show in Belgium due to “dehydration” and “exhaustion”. Somewhere, Kim Kardashian is very, very worried that she’s going to get upstaged. [USA Today]

HIGH STREET COMEBACK OF THE WEEK

M&S reported 3.8% decline in clothes sales this quarter, but at least its womenswear team is trying to stage a bold comeback for autumn/winter. The tactic? Lots of coats. Lisa Armstrong previews the new collection. [The Telegraph]

ANGELINA JOLIE OFFICIALLY BECOMES BETTER THAN YOU

The actress revealed she opted for a double mastectomy to reduce her risk of breast cancer. Brad Pitt called her “absolutely heroic”. Suddenly, all those ‘Brad/Jen/Angie’ tabloid covers seem a little insignificant now, huh? [New York Times]

WANT TO BECOME THE STEVE JOBS OF BRITISH FASHION?

The UK government is pumping £100,000 prize money into a fashion and tech start-up competition. Got an idea? The contest closes in June and the prize will be split between four companies with the most innovative ieas. [WSJ]

LET’S FACE IT, SHE’LL PROBABLY JUST WEAR BODEN

Karl Lagerfeld, Nina Ricci and Vera Wang were among the designers tasked with imagining a dress for Kate Middleton, who is definitely pregnancé. We’re a fan of Lagerfeld’s rack-on-show design – don’t think the Queen would be happy, though. [WWD]

WANT TO DRESS LIKE A NON-PREGNANT CELEB? YOU’RE IN LUCK

If you like tie-dye, crochet and crop tops, you’ll probably love Rihanna’s second collection for River Island. If you don’t, we can’t really help you out there. [Fashionista]
