Katy Perry booked Elle magazine's September cover — and it's all candy-colored, true to form. But, shockingly, in the interview accompanying her cover, Perry tells the magazine she "can't be the candy queen forever." This can only mean she'll be squirting vegetable juice out of a special bra made from asparagus in her next video, because what's a girl to do without her signature gimmick?
A kilt-clad John Galliano was reportedly seen dining at Sunset Tower's Tower Bar restaurant in West Hollywood with former LVMH executive Katherine Ross on July 21, and has since been looking for an apartment in the area. According to The Hollywood Reporter:
The next day, Galliano, with longtime Parisian partner Alexis Roche, visited L.A. friends, dropping the hint that Roche would like to style celebs, and that they're looking for an L.A. apartment, since the designer has finished his long stint in recovery.
Well, that could be a nice change for him! And everyone knows how well the blond-hair-and-beanie combo goes over out there.
Jaime King wore a dress from Giambattista Valli's pre-fall 2012 collection to the Lexus "Laws of Attraction" exhibition at the Metreon in San Francisco yesterday. She accessorized with matching wedges.
Do you like this look's retro feel? Or do you think it's too dowdy?
The British Royal family continue to show their support for the London Olympics, popping up at events all over and getting tours of the athletes' village at the Olympic Park too. They weren't alone: Princess Charlene of Monaco cheered enthusiastically for South African swimmers at the Aquatics Center, and Princess Maxima of the Netherlands broke out her poncho to watch some events — because yes, it's England, so it's been raining. Royals, they keep dry just like us! Click through our newly updated slideshow to see all their latest appearances.

Marion Cotillard was the first person to wear a piece from Raf Simons's debut Dior collection in the wild, taking it for a spin on the red carpet barely two weeks after it was shown. For all we know, she might have had some other couture from the same collection all sewn up and ready for the rest of her Dark Knight press tour, but chances are we'll never get to see it now. Enter Rachel Weisz, who wore a black dress from the same collection to the premiere of The Bourne Legacy in New York last night, making her the second person in the world to do so. It has a high side-slit and a pocket, which is a handy touch. Anyway, it'll be interesting to see how and when this collection will be sprinkled around to celebrities and magazines over the next few months. At least one of the garments will surely land a major cover.
Nicki Minaj released her new "Pound the Alarm" video today, and as our brethren over at Vulture pointed out, it features a fascinating and unfamiliar garment (in addition to her usual jeweled bra tops, bikini bottoms, nipple chains, fishnet tights, and the like): hot-pink feathery things affixed to the fronts of her shins, sort of like a below-the-knee boa. What a novelty! What are these even called, officially? Some have dubbed them "feathered leg warmers," but they could also be called "feathered shin guards" or "shinfeathers" or our personal favorite, "sheathers." In any case, they're fluttery and festive and very entertaining to watch while Nicki's dancing and stomping about. She might be onto something big here.
