Vogue's editrix Anna Wintour isn't awful, she's just scared of people. "Often people mistake her shyness for coldness," says photographer Mario Testino. Oh! That's what it is! Also afflicted with this crippling shyness: Kate Moss. The fashion world's mysteries explained!

Former supermodel Stephanie Seymour and newsprint mogul Peter Brant are in the middle of a very messy divorce at the moment. Neither side has spoken out about their imploded marriage, since Seymour and Brant signed an agreement barring them from discussing the feud publicly. But presumably Brant and Seymour's lawyers didn't address the subject of sexy photos, which explains why the December issue of Vanity Fair features a collection of half-nude photos of the 41-year-old ex-model by Mario Testino. (Brant will get a spread of his own in the January issue, we imagine.)

She got married last weekend, but Ivanka Trump will be getting another big stack of presents today. It's her 28th birthday.

NBC News' Andrea Mitchell is 64. Private equity bigwig Wes Edens is turning 48. Former Page Sixer Paula Froelich is 36. Henry Winkler turns 64. Actress Nia Long is turning 39. Kevin Pollak is turning 52. Harry Hamlin is 58. Cash Cab host Ben Bailey is turning 39. And Olympic gymnast Nastia Liukin is 20. A few weekend birthdays after the jump.

Those fancy condos at 100 Eleventh Avenue, the building that was designed by Jean Nouvel and attracted such high-profile buyers as Blackstone's new CFO Laurence Tosi and fashion photographer Mario Testino? Bad news. The development firm behind the building is now "under the gun to refinance its construction loan in the midst of pouring concrete, or it risks the possibility of having to halt work next month."
