We’ve all been there….we’re rushing around town from one appointment to the next, buying all those books our friends keep talking about, but never actually get a chance to sit down and read them. Well, there is a new trend on the horizon…listen to a book, and with the funky new Mi-Vox, a little MP3 player that is already uploaded with an audio book, you get quite a cool new gadget at the same time.

So whether you are working out in the gym, sunning yourself on holiday or simply rush around town, this is a great way to catch up on your reading! You can even learn a new language or use their new tourist guides. Prices start from £9.99 and Fern Britton was recently spotted with one (love her!).

Professor of English, controversial feminist writer and ex-Celebrity Big Brother quitter Germaine Greer has penned a controversial column for The Guardian in which she dissects the red dress worn by Michelle Obama on election night.

The piece, which begins with the line ‘The one sour note to resound through the jubilation at the election of Barack Obama was an undercurrent of fear and loathing of the dress Michelle Obama wore on election night’, certainly seems to have upset Guardian readers, who have poured scorn on Greer’s words in the comments section underneath.

Hundreds of fans queued round the block yesterday to see The Pussycat Dolls launch their new La Senza range on London’s Oxford Street.

The New York Post reports that legendary Vogue matriarch Anna Wintour’s contract is set to expire and that she has been recommending people to replace her.

As well as Vogue, Wintour oversees other Conde Nast publications Fashion Rocks, Teen Vogue, and Men’s Vogue. However, perhaps as a result of the credit crunch, Fashion Rocks is currently on hiatus, while Men’s Vogue has been reduced to just two issues a year.

A source told the Post:

“She feels she’s done it all and had enough. She has been putting out feelers to intimate friends recommending a possible replacement. She’s so tired out, she just let Men’s Vogue close instead of fighting for it.”
