This should be interesting…John Galliano has given his first extensive interview to Vanity Fair for their July issue. Galliano’s publicist Liz Rosenberg didn’t have much to expand on the focus of the story, telling WWD: “I have no idea because I haven’t seen the article. I don’t know if there’s a slant.” The interview was conducted by Ingrid Sischy, who is also a friend of the designer.

Cosmopolitan editrix Joanna Coles is out on vacay, but lest you worry he’s bored and galavanting in her absence, JoCo’s assistant extraordinaire, Sergio Kletnoy, has been busy dealing with a stressed-out back. Aww! At least there were also some awesome tunes, a JT concert, and a chill sesh with Little Boots…

At last! Kate Upton finally lands an American Vogue cover and interview after multiple appearances inside the mag. “America’s Dream Girl” tells them that despite tabloid talk she’s currently single and living at the Mandarin Oriental hotel with her things in storage.

Juicy! Gwyneth Paltrow tells USA Today that despite all her faboo friends being in the room, she no likey The Met Ball on Monday. “I’m never going again,” she reveals. “It was so un-fun. It was boiling. It was too crowded. I did not enjoy it at all.” Who’s going to pass on this news to you know who?

Joseph Altuzarra designed costumes for a new pas de deux, “A Place For Us” choreographed by Christopher Wheeldon, which premiered last night at the New York City Ballet’s spring gala. Last year, Valentino designed costumes for their Fall gala, which paid homage to the legendary couturier. Fun fact: Altuzarra studied ballet extensively during his childhood in Paris. Full circle.

Cara Delevingne has recovered nicely from her mini scandal over the weekend and bounces back with a Vogue cover. (Obviously shot pre-mysterious plastic baggies falling out of purses.)
