“I have no plans to leave American Vogue now or in the foreseeable future,” said Vogue editor Anna Wintour as she was walking out of the Plaza this morning.
But, what’s that old saying?
Where there’s smoke there’s fire?!?

Sources told Page Six that Vogue editrix Anna Wintour - who also oversees Fashion Rocks, Teen Vogue and, until recently, Men’s Vogue - is mulling retirement.
“Her contract is up soon,” an insider said. “She’s thinking of retiring. She feels she’s done it all and had enough.
Michelle Obama, who many are comparing to the next Jackie O, may soon land on the cover of Vogue, reports WWD.
She’s already landed many covers to date, including the cover of More Magazine. (right)
A spokesperson for Vogue said, “Starting with Eleanor Roosevelt, it’s been a long-standing tradition to photograph the new first lady. So needless to say, we are very interested in working with Mrs. Obama. Precisely how is still being discussed.”
If Obama does land the cover, she’ll be only the second first lady to do so in Vogue’s 116-year history; Hillary Rodham Clinton appeared on the December 1998 issue.
Yes, it’s true.

Perhaps Anna Wintour’s alleged tennis and Roger Federer obsession is hurting her day job?
Vogue’s revenues are falling, while Elle is poised to have their biggest September issue ever, according to PerezHiton sources. (I wonder who the source was?)

Talk about business chic for Kate Moss.
And this quote sets the tone for the new Kate Moss - (at least that’s what she’s trying to do).
“Modeling is a bit brain-damaging,” says Moss. Launching her own brands was ‘what I needed to do..It’s the right time.”

What did Patrick Dempsey think of last season’s homophobic outburst by Isiah Washington directed at T.R. Night?
“I think we lost season three completely,” says Dempsey. It took everybody a long time to get back. A lot of stuff came up. It was the end of the innocence.”
