It was only a matter of time. Rachel Zoe‘s former assistant Brad Goreski, whose bow ties often stole a little of Zoe’s spotlight on her own Bravo series, has landed his own show on Bravo called It’s a Brad Brad World.

According to the release I  just received from Bravo, the show will follow Goreski “as he embarks on his new solo career as a stylist…and tries to maintain his personal life.” Cameras will trail Goreski as he hits up Paris fashion week, Cannes, the men’s runway shows and couture.

Goreski has certainly stepped up his styling game since parting ways with new mommy Zoe. He styled Kate Spade’s fall presentation, has styled numerous for In Style and Harper’s Bazaar, is rumored to have stolen Demi Moore away from Zoe, has snagged Jessica Alba as a client, and did some funny stunt during New York fashion week that involved fake fashion police.

“I’m so excited about my show on @bravotv!,” Goreski just tweeted. “Can’t wait to start filming “Its a Brad Brad World!!” Dream come true!!”

I CAN’T WAIT !!  🙂

Lady Gaga is trading in her mic for the pen???!!!

The provocative pop star has landed a gig as a columnist with high fashion mag V. Her musings will appear monthly, with the first one scheduled for the May 12th release of issue V71, the Summer 2012 issue. No word yet on what she’ll write about (blood? semen?) but she is asking her Little Monsters for help. According to Stylecaster, Gaga is looking to her fans to illustrate her “styled as an editrix” for the image that will accompany her column. You didn’t think that Gaga would submit one of those black & white, head-tilted semi-smiling on vacation-type contributor photos did you?

So you want to give it a try? Here’s what you need to know:

Fans have until this Sunday, April 3rd to submit their rendering of Gaga to the “Drawn this Way” contest at drawnthisway@vmagazine.com. All mediums–sculpture, watercolors, human hair
(I’m kidding lol, but you never know what will work)–will be accepted. And don’t worry if you don’t make the cut this round–the contest will continue for every issue. Good Luck 😉

The Jessica Simpson brand, which began with a humble line of Steve Madden-esque shoes and then expanded to jeans, accessories, and coats, will blast stores with a full range of sportswear this fall that targets customers of all ages. “Moms and their daughters would be buying it at the same time,” says Vince Camuto, who owns all the licenses for the label. He projects that they’ll make $1 billion in retail sales by the end of 2012, which the Simpson family will get royalties from. And that’s not the end of it: Camuto has visions of opening freestanding stores that will sell all of the above, plus bridalwear, fine jewelry, and home goods like plates and wastebaskets.

If you suspect that Jessica is just a famous figurehead along for the ride, then you’d be mostly right, but that seems to be fine with everyone involved. Says Camuto: “We’re not looking to exploit her. We’re not just looking for a quick buck … The customer sees Jessica Simpson with great product, day in and day out, at a great price. That’s what makes it a success.” Not to mention, Simpson seems to genuinely like the clothes. “She talks about it, she wears the product,” Camuto says. Which is the best one can usually hope for when it comes to celebrity clothing labels.
