Fashion’s Night Out-starved Canadians can watch a live webcast with Andre Leon Talley on CBS.com and Tavi is rumoured to be tweeting and live-blogging the whole shebang for Barneys. [The Cut]

Detmar Blow, husband of the late fashion legend Isabella Blow has written a memoir of her life, Blow by Blow, to be released September 2nd (November 9 in the U.S.). A sample from the book, on Blow and milliner Philip Treacey‘s relationship: “They quickly developed an intense and creative relationship that he later likened to ‘having an affair with no sex’.” [Vogue UK]

Kimora Lee Simmons will step down from her post of creative director at Phat Fashions. We know this because she tweeted it, and yet she refuses to comment. [WWD]

A survey conducted by Scientific American that explores the psychological effects of wearing counterfeit goods (thus reading into handbags more than most fashion editors) shows that those who wear fake designer items are more likely to lie and cheat. [Racked]

Turns out, Tommy Ton is a big fan of SingStar, a game for Playstation that’s kind of like karaoke 2.0. “I had a SingStar party in Paris last month. The police came twice or three times. We were singing Lady Gaga and Lionel Ritchie at the top of our lungs in the heart of the Marais, so you can imagine… Rad Hourani was there. He’s obsessed. You know who else really good at SingStar? Agyness Deyn.” [Dazed Digital]

Speaking of Rad Hourani, the Paris-based Montreal designer will be live-streaming his Fall 2010 (that’s right, current season) Rad line on radhourani.com on September 13. Rad. [@NOWlifestyle]

And of course, this news roundup wouldn’t be complete if we didn’t comment on last night’s Miss Universe pageant which was kind of a barf-tastic, sparkle-spewing car crash (too glamourous to look away). Check out some of the gowns here, and for videos of Bret Michaels making teleprompter bloopers and Donald Trump being a creeper, right this way.  [Jezebel and Gawker]
