V‘s Size Issue keeps getting better and better. Well, that is, depending on how you feel about the whole thing. At the very least, it’s becoming more interesting, especially since we’ve learned that the cover features one of our favorite real girls and “Precious” star Gabourey Sidibe. We’re loving how this head shot is both glamorous, with Gabourey’s hair blowing in the wind, but also natural, with little embellishment and her flawless skin stealing the show. What do you think?

The previews keep leaking for V magazine’s much-hyped, so-called “curvy issue” dropping next week, on the 14th. We already saw plus-sized darling Crystal Renn modeling the same clothes alongside standard skinny chick Jacquelyn Jablonski in Terry Richardson’s model-off story, and today we get a taste of a sexy Solve Sundsbo joint (styled by Nicola Formichetti) featuring Candice Huffine, Tara Lynn and Michelle Olson to name a few.

As the weather outside starts to get frightful, evenings parked in front of the TV are sounding more and more appealing. What will I be watching this week? The World freaking Series! But do not fear, even if you aren’t into baseball, there’s lots of exciting stuff happening this week: Samantha Ronson‘s cameo on “90210″; the premiere of “V,” which is being hailed as the new “Lost”; a new episode of “The Real Housewives of Orange County“; and, sigh, the season finale of “Mad Men.” Keep reading »
