It is all over between Kate Moss and Topshop. A spokesperson for the British based retailer confirmed that Moss's upcoming collection will be her last after 14 seasons. Recently, sales of her line were reported to be declining. The wildly successful partnership earned the British supermodel about $5 million annually according to best guesses. For many years the debut of each new collection by Moss often saw overnight line-ups by eager followers. The split was said to be amicable. Top Shop owner Sir Philip Greene was quoted as saying... "There have been no dramas and we don't need a new muse. There is only one Kate and we are not looking for a replacement".

Kimora Lee Simmons announced she is exiting Phat Farm Fashions effective September 1st. The former model turned executive revealed her intentions to her 189,668 followers Twitter followers. She is currently president and creative director of Phat Fashions. Her career in the business end of things began when she married Phat Farm founder Russell Simmons. On a whim he put a Baby Phat t-shirt on the runway, which lead to the founding of a separate trashy chic women's line under the direction of Kimora who eventually took over the whole company. Last season it was clear that something was up when Baby Phat did not show during New York Fashion Week. In response to her departure she tweeted... "Sometimes we have limited choices in life ... We have 2 RIDE the WAVE baby! Team FABULOSITY!"

The gender bending songstress, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, has admitted to having a bi-sexual past. The photos were taken by photographer Nick Knight several months ago and had been circulated on the internet.
