Sarah Jessica Parker, Kate Moss, Stella McCartney and Naomi Campbell attended a memorial service at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, England for fashion designer (Lee) Alexander McQueen.

Anna Wintour spoke at the private service A Service of Thanksgiving for the Life of  Alexander McQueen where she said:

"There was no containing his contradictions,"  [he was a]"complex and gifted young man, born not far from here, who as a child used to sit on the roof of his tower block and watch the birds circling overhead."

The London Community Gospel Choir led the congregation in Amazing Grace during which a collection was taken up in aid of the Terrence Higgins Trust, the Blue Cross and Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.  Bjork sang a haunting version of Gloomy Sunday (the Billie Holiday song about contemplating suicide).

Friends told stories of the iconic fashion desire and sang hymns.  The hour-long service ended with:

Milliner Philip Treacy, McQueen's nephew, and McQueen's CEO, Jonathan Akeroyd, led final prayers of intercession in which they also remembered the designer's mother Joyce, who died a week before her son, and his late friend Isabella Blow. As they did so, the sun sliced through the windows of the great dome above, throwing shafts of sunlight on to the speakers below. It was just the kind of wordless symbolism in which McQueen used to specialise.

It does not have to be hump day to feature a shirtless mansicle like Derek Hough.  I know I just did a big Dancing With The Stars post but at the time of doing it, these pictures were not available.  And did I mention Derek Hough is shirtless? Purrrrrr.

Tonight’s the night kids! The two hour season premiere of Dancing With The Stars. It’s going to be real interesting to see who does great.  Who do you think will do great? Will you be watching?

Oh yes, also pictured are Bristol Palin and Jennifer Grey.

With perfectly applied make-up and a killer wardrobe, Adam Lambert took his Glam Nation tour to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida last night where he did a bit of tongue-diving with one of his band mates.

He addressed the very recent paparazzi incident on Twitter by telling his fans:

“I lost my temper for a sec (second) but wow it felt great…” Battery? Nope. I attempted to grab a camera, no punches were thrown and no one was on the ground… It was literally harmless. If embarrassment is a crime – that’s all I’m guilty of.

Either way, he looks damn fine in his pants at this concert.  I’m just saying.

Jude Law showed his support for Sienna Miller as she and her sister Savannah presented their Twenty8Twelve Spring/Summer collection at the 2011 fashion show in London this past weekend.

He also used it as an opportunity to cup feel backstage.

The photos of his facial expressions are priceless. He said of Sienna’s commitment to design:

“I don’t know how she finds the time to do it, but she spends lots and lots of time designing,”

Apparently the collection was deemed as quite ‘impressive’ with their influence being Joni Mitchell, Jack Kerouac and director Wim Wenders according to the Associated Press.

When I first learned of the line up for Dancing With The Stars season 11, I thought the dance troup from the local retirement home would have been more exciting, but as it gets closer to the season premiere (one more sleep y’all) I’m getting excited. I won’t ever fist pump, but I am letting out some squeals.
