Brazilian label Colcci takes a shot at conquering New York by using their best asset: La Bündchen. Beginning this fall, the line will be carried by stores like Fred Segal and Urban Outfitters.

Gisele shot another Stefanel campaign with Mr. Testino (and hunk-of-the-moment David Gandy).

Cathy Horyn dissects the latest collections from London, and I highly recommend you take a look at the Giles spring show.

The Sex & The City movie has just started shooting, and the promotional blitz has already begun.

Tom Ford's media blitz is also going strong: everyone this week is talking about the ads for his new fragrance shot by Terry Richardson, and his x-rated website.

Designer John Bartlett opened his New York boutique this week. Are leather chaps on the racks?

Singer Bjork does Dazed & Confused with incredible pictures by Carmen Freudenthal and costumes (because those are not just clothes) by Bernard Willhelm.

Justin Timberlake talked to Oprah, and Britney was obviously one of the topics of the conversation.

Julianne Moore is coming to Brazil next week with director Fernando Meirelles to shoot scenes for his adaptation of Saramago's Blindness. I am addicted to reading the director's blog about the movie. This week Mr. Meirelles talked about Sandra Oh's charisma, and her cameo on the movie. Blindness is currently shooting in Uruguay.

The new primetime soap Duas Caras will also feature a gay character (a current must-have on national TV): actor Thiago Mendonça will play chef Bernardinho da Conceição. According to screenwriter Aguinaldo Silva, Bernardinho will fall in love with a girl, a theme not yet explored in other soaps, which am sure will end up being very controversial.

Screenwriter Aguinaldo Silva recently criticized the gay couple portrayed in the soap Paraíso Tropical by claiming that the characters don't act gay, that it is hardly mentioned that they are gay, and that there are no scenes of affection at all between them. I highly agree with Mr. Silva's complaint, and am sure so do most gay men in this country. According to Mr. Silva "it is useless to pretend that no one talks about gay relationships and that it is a natural thing for everyone because that is not the truth." He is right: where the hell is the much expected primetime gay kiss?
