• Harrod's, the same luxury goods store that Christina Aguilera so famously earned a paycheck for attending its store opening, has hired Conde Nast's contract publishing unit to put out its Truly British in-store magalogue.

Andy Towle continues to update us on Brokeback Mountain, with Jake Gyllenhaal's co-star Heath Ledger saying the gay cowboy flic is the best script he's ever read.
