Galliano in 2010

We were banking on Oprah or Barbara Walters landing this one, but Charlie Rose has nabbed the coveted John Galliano TV interview as the designer's "I didn't mean it" tour continues, according to WWD. The boys will be sitting down in a studio tomorrow thanks to Rose's close friendship with Oscar de la Renta, who connected Rose and Galliano. An air date or length of the show has not yet been determined. We'll keep you posted.

Haute For Houghton!

Houghton Resort 2014
View Gallery

Katharine Polk debuted her Houghton resort collection on The McKittrick Hotel's rooftop and it was chock full of light, flowy feminine looks for her loyal bohemian babes. Separates like boxy crop tops worn with high-waisted long and below-the-knee skirts, simple shift dresses with sheer wispy white blousson sleeves, and pants worn with bra tops came in soft colors like blush, mint green, baby blue and plenty of ivory with bits of black mixed in. Her inspiration? It might sound a bit familiar: it's Katharine Hepburn, who Polk was named after and whose middle name was Houghton. "I really go to her for my inspiration, season in and season out," said Polk. "Each season I need to get fresh and clean my mind and get some new fresh ideas. But in terms of real inspiration, I really look to her and look through the archives and pictures of her in different eras." And while Hepburn's off-screen style might conjure up images of chic pantsuits, Hepburn's free spirit is certainly captured in this dreamy collection.

Lauren Conrad covers the July issue of Marie Claire, on newsstands June 18th, and tells them what she thinks of bitchy cable TV shows and club life. “It feels done for me," she explains. "I’m OK with it being done…I destroyed my voice when I moved to L.A. There are polyps all over my vocal chords because I was in a lot of loud places. If you listen to the first episode of Laguna, my voice is completely different.” We'll take your word on that.

Press shy Karl Lagerfeld (we kid!) chats with The Telegraph and as usual gives a few "I can't believe he said that" nuggets to make our job a little easier. This time the Kaiser is bashing Audrey Tautou's performance as Coco Chanel in the 2009 film Coco Before Chanel. "Oh, the movie was bad," he says. "She played it like women's lib, like Simone de Beauvoir 30 years before The Second Sex. No, no, no, no. Chanel was a different kind of woman. Keira [Knightley] had it. She is a young woman in love, not a spinster." Snap. Another thing that's bothering Karl these days are those pesky Facebook and Twitter fanatics. "They lost a lot of time these people, and they become stupid because they nearly tell you they're going to the bathroom, eh?" Eh.
