On Tuesday a Rome court ordered a trial for two men arrested in July 2007 outside the Coliseum.

Michele F., 36, and Roberto L., 28, contend they were caught sharing a passionate kiss; the arresting officers from the carabinieri say they were engaging in oral sex.

Coleen McLoughlin has been voted the nation’s number one fashion role model.

Wayne Rooney’s fiancee is a bigger influence than Kate Moss and Victoria Beckham, according to the poll.

McLoughlin, 21, has been crowned British women’s top style role model just five years after being propelled to fame as a puffa jacket-wearing schoolgirl.

Supermodel Moss, 34, takes second place, followed by actress Sienna Miller, 26. Posh Spice, 33, is fourth while Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole, 24, is fifth - and the third Wag to make the top 10.

Kylie Minogue, 39, is sixth in the survey for Look magazine, followed by singer Gwen Stefani, 38, and Atonement actress Keira Knightley, 23.

Ask Karl Lagerfeld to sum up – in only 10 words – the power of Chanel and it’s no great surprise when the great couturier, who, let’s face it, is far from a shrinking violet where his dealings with the media are concerned, comes back with a rather longer answer than that.

Chanel encapsulates the idea of “modernity” first and foremost, he says.

Have you spotted Coco yet?

If we had a dollar for every time we heard (or, okay, asked) that question yesterday, we could have paid for our media pass a dozen times over.

Forget the Misshapes and MTV faces—the only VIP anyone wanted to see on the first day of L’Oreal Fashion Week was 19-year-old model and Meisel muse Coco Rocha.

Has there ever been this much love for, say, an actual designer in Toronto? Ha. Not until that designer goes to New York.
