Tom Cruise is on a sex diet. Also: the most beautiful thing in the world is not made by Chanel or even Bottega Veneta.

In prepping this week's posts (for the work blog, not this one), I learned many exciting things, including:

1. Katie Holmes has put Tom Cruise on a "sex diet" to help him lose weight. In a nutshell (har), she thinks Tom's turning chubby (har har), and she wants him to get more exercise. By having sex. Presumably with her. Which is, I suppose, one way of going about it.

2. Project Runway is going to be a videogame. Normally I'd say "feh", but the game's going to roll out on the Wii platform, which could be kinda fun:
As with the show, players will compete to create different designs, but they will also have the opportunity to become the model and showcase their creations on the runway, using the Wii Balance Board.
Sounds like a very short runway, but hey, they didn't ask me.

3. Speaking of iffy fashion projects, I believe it's time to dig out the shoulderpads (you know you've been storing them in the back of the sock drawer like everyone else):
Dynasty star Joan Collins is fronting a new TV special as part of her personal mission to revive style in Britain.

The veteran actress is appalled with the current state of fashion in the U.K. and is hosting a one-off show, Joan Does Glamour, in which she helps three women learn to dress stylishly.
Werque, bitchez.

4. Have you ever wondered what the most beautiful object in the world might be? As it happens, I can tell you. It is this fireplace:

And yes, it's beautiful. But it's no Jil Sander velveteen trenchcoat, that's for damn sure.
