· Roberto Cavalli recently started blogging, and yep, it's amazing. Here's a sample entry: "I was disappointed with the fashion week. There was too much confusion! Meeting up with friends was not easy!" And then, "Too bad the music was not more engaging. I really wanted to dance, even if would not have been so easy in such a crowd!" [The Cut]

· Rutgers College in New Jersey offers a class called "Politicizing Beyonce," where doctoral student and lecturer Kevin Allred "examines the singer's lyrics and videos in comparison to the writings of Alice Walker and Sojourner Truth." [HuffPo]

· Here's a video of Lea Michelle talking about what it was like making her Candie's campaign. She also touches on how awesome it was when Britney Spears did hers, to which we have to concur. [Stellarhead/Vimeo]

· A middle school in Pottstown, Pennsylvania has banned Uggs because kids have allegedly been using the curiously-described "open top boots" to sneak in contraband. They can continue to wear them to and from school, but they have to change into sneakers or shoes before entering their homeroom. Life is hard! [NBC10 Philadelphia]

· Stacy London's new TLC show will spotlight Brooklyn plus-size boutique Lee Lee's Valise. Our sister site reports that Lee Lee's Valise has frequently also appeared on What Not to Wear. [Racked NY]
