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...

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...

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?

A Purple Wig, Sequins, and a Yin-Yang-Patterned Manicure: It Could Only Be Katy Perrys New Elle Cover

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...

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...

A Note on Nicki Minajs Feathered Shin Ornaments in Her New Pound the Alarm Video

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"...

That Intern Versus Hearst Corp. Case Is Now a Class-Action Suit
