American Apparel Eats Humble Pie: The controversial retailer is apparently trying to reach out to Nancy Upton, the woman who mockingly entered AA's plus-size modeling comp and ended up garnering the most public votes. The retailer, who previously wrote an angry letter to Upton (and crowned a different winner), has once again reached out to the "contestant," offering to fly her to their LA factory to show the actual roles of women in the company.

We can't believe Fashion's Night Out (and, thus, fashion week) is only a week away. As anyone who has ever been to a Fashion's Night Out is probably aware, they pack enough events to fill an entire week into just a few hours, so pre-FNO planning is key. While Vogue's interactive map is quite handy, that is still a lot of stores to go through. So, we're preparing a few of our own Fashion's Night Out guides. This one is for those of you who just want to see some famous people. We don't blame you! Fashion's Night Out offers rare opportunities to get up close and personal with real Hollywood stars. Maybe Tilda Swinton and Ne-Yo will become friends or Daniel Radcliffe will get wasted or Alexa Chung will debut a new haircut or Seth Meyers will screw up your drink or the Real Housewives of New York will be insane (that last one is the most likely)! Here's our guide to where all your favorite celebs will be.
