Okay, Rachel must be dying, literally, right now.

Her loyal, often sullen, but always, always hard-working styling associate Taylor Jacobson is finally leaving Rachel Zoe Inc. We’ve kind of seen this coming for a while, but the season ender showed Taylor getting a new role (well, sort of) handling aspects of RZ’s growing merchandise business.

But we guess things didn’t get any better. In an email to contacts today, Taylor said: “After four amazing years at Rachel Zoe Corporation, I’m saddened and exhilarated at the same time to announce my departure. After much thought and consideration, I have decided to take the challenging leap to go off and style on my own.”

Who will make Brad and Rach stay focused now? Who will keep Rodg up to speed on Rachel’s vertigo issues? Who will handle all those returns? We hope there’s a season 3 so we can find out.

Whatever happens, we wish Taylor lots of luck in her solo styling career!

Never in life did I think I would be talking about Regis Philbin on Fashionista, but here I am. Don’t get me wrong, I love Reege big time, but you know what I mean.

That all changes today. The Halloween episode this morning featured this fairly hilarious spoof of The Rachel Zoe Project with Regis as Brad!! I loved it so much when he mentioned a dress for Annie. Kelly gets dual roles as Rachel and Taylor, but my second favorite was Gelman’s Rodger, at the ready to make Rachel some toast.

I die. Literally.

Each season a different reality TV show descends upon New York Fashion Week making things ten times crazier.

We must say, The Rachel Zoe Project was a huge improvement over Make Me a Supermodel and we kind of hope it’s Rachel and Brad again, (though if Joe Zee rolls up with The City’s camera crew in tow, we won’t really mind).

Anyway, on tonight’s show we finally see what the camera captured during the shitshow that was Rag & Bone AW09. They also explain why Taylor headed back to LA before the week was out (which maybe explains why I was sitting next to Brad at Chanel instead of next to Rachel’s first assistant). And there’s a close up of DvF’s nomad collection pre-show. A sneak peek, above.

There were many things that had me “fuh-reaking” out while watching last night’s season 2 premiere of The Rachel Zoe Project: huge navy moments, Rachel’s Chanel diploma, the evolution of one of RZ’s signature phrases into “shutting. shit. down”, the fact that indeed everyone does look better with seven more inches…everywhere, Brad’s giant bow tie, desk disobedience, the list goes on and on!

And while we all knew what the girls were going to end up wearing to the Globes, the process, was as always, fabulous to watch. Like Brad and Rachel, I was dying over the couture clutches that had amassed in the studio for Annie, Demi, Cameron, et al. I’m not really much of a small bag girl, even for evening, as I’m fairly terrible about editing down the contents and usually end up rather annoyingly over-stuffed. But, wow, did those Viviers make me rethink my position.

We know you spent last night in front of the TV, but prepare to park yourself there tonight, too.

Before Anna Wintour’s late night debut comes the second season premiere of The Rachel Zoe Project and here’s a new clip to get you even more excited for fluffy dresses and Brad’s bow ties.

It’s the day of the Golden Globes and even though Rachel’s studio’s so stuffed with shoes and dresses that no one can move, she hates it all. Life’s rough when you’re trying to make sure Anne Hathaway always looks “new and exciting” now that she’s “exploded” into a major movie star.

Everybody’s looking for ways to drum up cash these days, and camera crew-toting stylists are no exception:

Next Thursday (March 26), the Decades Two in Los Angeles is hosting an in-store shopping event for 50 - 100 pieces of contemporary costume jewelry from Rachel Zoe’s personal collection, handpicked by one of the store’s owners. A portion of the proceeds will benefit a charity of Ms. Zoe’s choosing.

Unsurprisingly, you can’t go unless you’re invited. But here’s the flip side: Jewelry that makes it past the first night will end up on DecadesTwo.com and on the store’s eBay page the very next day, meaning you can click yourself silly with your friends while making all the bananas references you want in the privacy of your own home.

Though LA party girls, beware: The event will be taped for the Rachel Zoe Project, meaning you could end up on Bravo shopping Rachel’s cast-offs. We think the website might be the way to go.
