Rachel Bilson, Olivia Wilde, and Jenna Dewan attend the InStyle pre-Golden Globe Awards luncheon where the show's producer gives us an idea of what to expect! And later, Mark Wahlberg explains why he's not getting any sleep, and we take you behind the scenes at Jessica Biel's not so glamorous Vogue photo shoot!
Jessica Biel went all-American in Ralph Lauren denim for the February cover of Vogue. Her outfits lately have been a little less glamorous as she finishes her Mt. Kilimanjaro trek, but the Valentine's Day star also got decked out in a sparkly gown for the shoot — check out a behind-the-scenes video. Jessica chatted with the magazine's Jonathan Van Meter about life in Hollywood, as well as her ill-advised early photos and her sexy image. Here's more:

Jessica Biel is on the cover of February Vogue wearing Ralph Lauren's denim-heavy Great Recession collection. Inside the actress mostly talks about how uncomfortable she is in makeup and on the red carpet, but it's Anna Wintour's letter from the editor that has us guessing she'll soon appear alongside American designers at fashion awards and in an ad campaign or two come fall.
"I think my Valentine's wish would be that she be embraced by and play a larger role in the fashion world," wrote Wintour. "She symbolized everything American fashion stands for: health, beauty, fitness, and grace. She'd make a great partner for any designer."
Take that as your marching orders, American designers. Vogue's February issue will be on newsstands January 26.
>> Changes at Vogue: More Subway Riding, Less Jane Herman —Yesterday, the New York Post reported that senior Vogue employees are being told that they have to trade in their Town Cars and cabs in for subway rides, but that's not the only adjustment staffers are having to make. Word is fashion writer Jane Herman, daughter of Fred Segal owner Ron Herman, left Vogue after the New Year for Gap, where she's joining Patrick Robinson in his quest to make Gap cool again, according to a source.

This year, Anna Wintour became a household name. Fashion fans have been following the highly touted American Vogue editor for eons, but her presence grew this year thanks to The September Issue. But it wasn't just about fame and stardom for the editrix, she also worked her butt off behind-the-seams spearheading Fashion's Night Out. Anna brought fun, hope, and fabulous fêtes back to the industry during troubled economic times. Now that is the work of an elite editor.
>> Grace Coddington has been spotted dining often with The September Issue director RJ Cutler, and it sounds like it's not just purely out of friendship. When Coddington was in London last week for the British Fashion Awards, she told the Times UK Cutler is working her illustrated book Catwalk Cats into a film treatment: “It’s a bit of a battle, actually. I’m fighting for it not to turn into some Disney thing.”
Despite all the newfound attention The September Issue has brought her — at least five people come up to her on the subway every morning — she's not planning on becoming a press hound:
Do you ever see me giving interviews? I’m never one of those people talking into a microphone at the end of a show. I’m not prepared to crush some poor designer who’s just spent six months slaving over a collection. I think it’s horrible and they all [the pundits] talk about themselves. Plus, the questions are so stupid . . . I hate trends. And you know the question they always ask me at shows; ‘What’s the latest trend?’”
Rachel McAdams is on the cover of Vogue's January issue, just in time to talk about her new movie Sherlock Holmes. Even though she's a natural working the red carpet, she seems happiest when enjoying some of life's more simple things. She opened up to the magazine about her new green mentality, how she grew up, and her thoughts on relationships. Rachel also talked about working with Lindsay Lohan, years ago on Mean Girls.
