1. Mickey Rourke, sipping on a Diet Coke and being swarmed by the press. The Wrestler was really, really good and I’m so glad he got his career back, but I still don’t get why he keeps popping up at fashion events. Also, I wish he was still super hot—like 9 1/2 Weeks hot.

2. Kelly Rowland and Tinsley were like fast front row friends. What were they talking about? Beyoncé’s embarrassment over that idiotic Kanye incident? European royalty and how to marry a prince? Career advice?

3. Gold medal gymnast Nastia Liukin being awkwardly ignored by most of the media while fidgeting in her front row seat. Does our country really care more about the Tinz than a world class athlete? Not that I really care what Nastia has to say about clothes…but it’s still kind of a sad state of affairs.

4. Lucy Liu, who I hope will get a new project soon so that I can finally cleanse my palette of that hideous Cashmere Mafia. Because I used to really like Lucy Liu.

5. Lots of neutrals and black. Lots of cut-outs. Lots of slashes in dresses. Lots of skin showing in patches. Lots of reasons for me to motivate to get to Bikram.

Michael Phelps might have won all those gold medals, but Nastia Liukin’s cute face, blonde hair and mad gymnastic skills have scored her quite a few endorsements - not to mention a front row seat at Peter Som.

WWD reports on the Wheatie’s Box, denim line and tween fashion website that will sport her name until the Olympic shine wears off. Those lucky fashion week seats, Issac Mizrahi included, come courtesy of her also athletically inclined, pretty faced friend Maria Sharapova and might prove a valuable education.

The gymnast boldly claims, “I’d love to do some acting and modeling, but not as my career.”

The best bit’s nestled in the first paragraph, as if it’s just some minor detail that no one cares about when it’s actually the most important thing - Nastia’s scored a cameo on The Greatest Show of Our Time. As in, the lucky duck will share screen time with Chuck Bass on this season of Gossip Girl, or at least that’s the way we see it going.

Because, what would be the point of going on Gossip Girl and not making out with Chuck Bass?

We’re assuming that, like us, you stayed up to watch the women’s all-around gymnastics face-off, and already know that Texan (via Russia) babe Nastia Liukin took the Gold.

Since she’s the next big female athlete, endorsement-wise, and happens to also be beautiful in an incredibly swanlike kind of way, PLAY: The New York Times Sports Magazine is already wondering whether she’ll go beyond her current commercials, like AT&T, to something more “adult”.

Nastia’s already done some smiling for Cover Girl, but other than that, it’s been pretty non-girly so far. But we’re pretty sure we know the next best thing for her:

Wouldn’t she make the most adorable Neutrogena girl ever? It’s age-appropriate, it fits her target audience, and we could totally see her talking about how it’s the only thing she’ll use, or whatever.

In fact, we think she’s more perfect for it than Taylor.
