At One Point on July 19, Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis Held Hands


Exactly a month after they announced their amicable separation, they met up in the south of France, Us Weekly reports. And the entire Depp–Paradis family stopped by the Plan de la Tour market, where they were spotted "joking around" by (apparently the town's gossipmonger) Sofia DeCout, who added, "At one point, Johnny held Vanessa's hand!" And the earth stopped turning, and birds started chirping, and babies cried, and Ryan Lochte's grill sparkled, and there was a double rainbow! Anyway, according to another source, the two won't ever get back together, and Depp is dating Amber Heard.

The two companies just created a joint venture (51 percent of which is owned by PPR and 49 percent by Yoox), which "will be entirely dedicated to managing mono-brand online stores in collaboration with several PPR luxury brands: Bottega Veneta, Yves Saint Laurent, Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga and Sergio Rossi," according to a press release. Bottega Veneta's and Sergio Rossi's online stores should be up and running by the end of December, and the rest are set to launch next year. As for those PPR brands not on the list, they might be included in the project at a later date.

Alexa Chung Ate Cheetos on the Set of Gossip Girl

Alexa Chung walks with an umbrella to her trailer on the set of 'Gossip Girl' filming scenes at Capitale in the Lower East Side. Also seen trying to keep out of the rain were Leighton Meester, Yin Chang and Barry Watson  <P> Pictured: Alexa Chung <P> <B>Ref: SPL421104  010812  </B><BR/> Picture by: Wylde / Splash News<BR/> </P><P> <B>Splash News and Pictures</B><BR/> Los Angeles:	310-821-2666<BR/> New York:	212-619-2666<BR/> London:	870-934-2666<BR/> photodesk@splashnews.com<BR/> </P>

She also drank a canned beverage out of a straw, wore a bright-blue sailor dress, and held an umbrella. According to British Vogue, Alexa started filming scenes for the show's final season yesterday in New York. Her spokesperson confirmed that she'd be making a "cameo" and would be "playing herself," which takes all of the fun out of guessing whom she's going to date: Chuck, Nate, or Dan. It's totally Dan. They're both so Brooklyn.

Watch Prada Models Play a Violent Game of Chess


You may recall that Prada's fall 2012 show featured lots of purple carpeting, white eyeliner, bleached eyebrows, and long, straight, ombré-dyed hair. (There were also some allusions to space travel, battery packs, and dream catchers, but no need to rehash that.) Anyway, you'll see more of the same in the label's new campaign video, directed and filmed by Steven Meisel in New York in April. Models — er, "virtual princesses" Vanessa Axente, Magdalena Frackowiak, Madison Headrick, Elza Luijendijk, Iselin Steiro, and Anne Vyalitsina play a vigorous game of chess, swish their hair around, and pad silently in their rubbery shoes around a thoroughly carpeted room full of unnecessary stairs. The soundtrack of tinkling bells is quite invigorating, too.

Has John Mayer Come Between Katy Perry and Baptiste?


Terrible news: Last night, Katy Perry and John Mayer were photographed in a car leaving the Chateau Marmont together. AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT FAMOUS PEOPLE GET UP TO IN CARS, DO WE NOT? This can only mean one thing — Katy and Baptiste's dubious-at-best relationship must have gone south. For all of us who harbored not-so-secret hopes of Katy starring in Baptiste's next music video, or even dared to dream of an introduction between Katy and Choupette, this is a terrible tragedy. Also, Katy's hair looks strangely normal here, all straight and brown without a purple streak in sight. This is a dark day indeed.

Kate Beckinsale wore a reptilian gown from Armani Privé's spring 2012 collection to the Total Recall L.A. premiere yesterday. She accessorized with Brian Atwood pumps and Lorraine Schwartz jewels.

Do you like this look? Or would you prefer not to see reptiles on the red carpet?
