Several Brooklynites have seen her behind the counter, but when New York Magazine called and asked, they refused to disclose information about their employees.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it were true. Naima, while I love her, hasn’t had the greatest modeling career. This gig gives her a steady income while giving her the flexibility she needs to pursue her modeling and music careers.

Hateration in full ffect: Several EPL players have been banned from attending a massive holiday jump up in Miami.  When will managers learn that debaucherous off-pitch action is the reason we get up every morning?  Yeesh.

Surely everyone knows by now that football players have no naked shame? Sadly, there was little acceptance of Histon’s naked dressing room celebrations (which resulted in national television broadcasts of their nether-regions).

Melanie Slade shares an amusing anecdote about her main squeeze, Theo Walcott, (in a somewhat pandering interview): ‘We were at a petrol station and when he came out of the shop after paying, his face was like thunder. I said to him, “What happened?” and he said, “They asked me if I was Lewis Hamilton!” Bless him!’

I’m so excited about this news according to WWD, Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton is reviving the “hit 2001 collaboration with Sprouse for a new, limited edition collection of accessories and ready-to-wear.” This is great news since I missed out on the first collection, I was only able to get my hands on the graffitti pouchette! I’m going to save up my pennies and attempt to get the whole collection (who am I kidding?)!!! The collection “coincides with a retrospective — called “Rock on Mars” — at Deitch Projects’ 18 Wooster Street gallery from Jan. 8 to Feb. 28, and The Stephen Sprouse Book by Roger Padilha and Mauricio Padilha, due out from Rizzoli New York on Feb. 1. The impetus for the new line came when Deitch approached Jacobs and Vuitton about doing something related to the retrospective.” The collection hits LV stores worldwide on January 9, 2009- mark your calendars!

“I proposed putting together a Vuitton version of the Pop Shop, which was Keith Haring’s concept…not reissuing products that we had done with Stephen, but doing things that were similar or new,” Jacobs said.

The collection consists of two iconic Sprouse motifs, the graffit and the rose and will be interpreted into Day-Glo shades of pink, green and orange over the Monogram print. “The motifs are featured on Vuitton’s Keepall, Speedy and Neverfull bag styles, as well as basketball sneaker boots, pumps, sunglasses, headbands and wristbands, and small leather goods like wallets and coin purses. The rtw includes a mackintosh raincoat with a graffiti and monogram lining, graffiti leggings and a long-sleeve neon minidress featuring the rose design.”

On December 15th, a special website welovesprouse.com will go live which “feature a mix of interviews with people who knew Sprouse, including Debbie Harry, Candy Pratts Price and Patricia Field. In the clips, they muse on their relationship with Sprouse, and his lasting influence on the fashion and art worlds. There will also be a feature called Scrawl the Wall, where visitors can post comments, and a special section on Sprouse’s New York, highlighting some of the artist’s favorite haunts in the city.”

I simply can not wait, I’m having a good morning! Are you excited? What items are you planning to buy? I think I want all haha!!!

- I love shopping online.  I can do it 24/7, in my pjs, and avoid long lines.  But one of my online peeves is the disappointment of waiting for an order to be delivered, only to discover the size isn’t right.  Well, Michigans can still shop in the comfort of their homes with a guarantee that the size will be a perfect fit.  Shoe Envy will deliver heels on wheels right to your home.  When is this coming to Seattle?
