RUMOR PATROL: Kanye West Not Interning for the Gap; LV Sneakers for Sale

The internet has been buzzing since Jezebal.com picked up reporting from this week’s Us Weekly that Kanye West was interning at the Gap. However, a rep for the Gap dispels the rumor, telling PEOPLE, “Regarding Kanye interning at Gap, this is not true.” And that’s not the only rumor about Kanye’s fashion career that’s floating around. It’s been reported that the sneakers the hip-hop star designed for Louis Vuitton are already sold out. But it turns out that only three of the seven designs went on sale yesterday in England and the rest will not be out until late July, when they will be available worldwide. Louis Vuitton tells PEOPLE, “We did a lot of presales but they’re not sold out yet.” We can’t wait to see what Kanye’s next actual fashion move is.

EXCLUSIVE: Cameron Diaz Gets Tough for V Magazine

While it might be easy to become complacent once you are on the Hollywood A-list and just stick to an audience-loved pattern, Cameron Diaz is seizing the opportunity to do something totally different — playing a mother in the heartbreaking My Sister’s Keeper. But it’s not like she’s lost her sex appeal in the process! V Magazine caught up with the 36-year old star for an edgy and tough black-and-white photo shoot that recalls Madonna’s iconic True Blue period. Taking the look one step further — the star was painted with an array of wild tattoos on set (no, they aren’t real!) and wore a bra made of gaffers tape, fashioned by the shoot’s stylist. Of feeling and looking so comfortable in her skin, Diaz tells V Magazine that “I’m not going to be the 23-year old ingenue again. If I tried to hold onto that, I’d be a pretty unhappy individual.” We think Cameron keeps getting better — and hotter! — with age. Pick up the “Beauty Issue” of V Magazine for the full interview with Cameron, on newsstands July 7.

Project Runway Winner Leanne Marshall Debuts Line for Bluefly

It may have been almost a year since Leanne Marshall won Project Runway with her aqua and ivory origami collection, but the designer has hardly been taking it easy since her victory. We caught up with the designer as she was shooting the images for her debut collection for Bluefly.com, which ranges in price from $98 for a top to $990 for this extravagant blue gown. Leanne tells PEOPLE that while she wanted to keep her signature floral and petal inspiration in the line, she wanted to open the designs up to a wider range of people than her runway collection. She explains, “I wanted to keep it a little more simplified and accessible. A lot of people can wear it day to day. It’s not overpowering on any body, and the price points are affordable.” As for Leanne, she is still just taking in what the win has meant for her. “I’m living my dream. It’s been such a process getting here, and I still have a long ways to go until I can be Michael Kors.” And while she does keep in touch with her pals from the show and, yes, Tim Gunn too, she has only words of encouragement for the next round of designers in the show’s first L.A.-based season, saying “I hope that the designers that are on the next season have as great an experience as I did.” Check out Leanne’s line when it debuts at Bluefly.com next Wednesday!
