Brad Pitt is the new celebrity pitchman for Chanel No. 5, in an interesting experiment to see how effectively a man can sell women's perfume. He's reportedly being paid $7 million for his efforts. [WWD] Newly engaged Jenni “JWoww” Farley hopes to wear a pink ballgown when she weds. [People] Elle announced last week that Sarah Jessica Parker is on the cover of November's "Women in Hollywood" issue. It turns out hers is one of several covers. Others feature Octavia Spencer, Dakota Fanning and Emma Watson.

1. Emma Watson cemented her standing as a budding fashionista at the hand-, foot- and wand-print ceremony at Grauman's Chinese Theatre alongside "Harry Potter" cast mates Daniel Radcliffe, center, and Rupert Grint. Despite donning a knee-length Chanel dress, the 17-year-old wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty. She did, however, choose sensible footwear before making her imprint: flats from British cheap-chic mecca Topshop.

Patrick Demarchelier photographed Naya Rivera, Jennifer Morrison, Christa Miller and Clare Bowen wearing their birthday suits by a pool in Beverly Hills for Allure's annual nudes issue, on sale Monday. The nudes are carefully posed so you don't see more than might be exposed by a bathing suit. Amanda Seyfried is the issue's cover girl, but she kept her clothes on. [Allure] It may seem strange that Seyfried didn't disrobe for Allure. After all, she plays the title role of 1970s porn star Linda Lovelace in "Lovelace," so she isn't totally demure.

BBC Worldwide announced Tuesday morning that it will sell its travel guide series, Lonely Planet, for $77.8 million to Nashville-based NC2 Media, a company owned by reclusive U.S. billionaire Brad Kelley. That selling price is more than $120 million less than the BBC paid for the company in 2007.  The Lonely Planet imprint accounts for some 120 million books in 11 different languages but was hard hit by the downturn in publishing and a financial crisis that tightened travel budgets worldwide.

In the wake of the MTV Video Music Awards and Friday's celeb-heavy Stand Up to Cancer telethon, stars have absconded from Los Angeles, and the U.S. all together, in favor of the Toronto International Film Festival. Jennifer Lawrence, who plays Katniss Everdeen in "The Hunger Games" franchise, trotted out her David O. Russell dramedy "Silver Linings Playbook" on Saturday alongside leading man Bradley Cooper. Following a red carpet photo call and screening, Soho House Toronto hosted cast and filmmakers for a reception.

  Hurricane Sandy has shut down production on at least half a dozen New York television shows and feature films, but none more ironically than Russell Crowe's “Noah.” Writer-director Darren Aronofsky's film about the biblical flood and ark postponed shooting Monday, but the more pressing question is what will happen to the movie's colossal boat. Aronofsky's production team built two massive ships - one inside a Brooklyn sound stage, the other in the water at Oyster Bay, N.Y. And Oyster Bay, a small inlet on the Long Island Sound, is very much in the path of Hurricane Sandy, with local flooding and wind gusts of up to 63 mph reported in the area . The outdoor ark, which measures 450 feet long and is 75 feet tall and 45 feet wide, was not intended to be seaworthy.

Derek Blasberg's social calendar reads like WWD's Eye column or a Bravo reality series and an episode of "Gossip Girl" rolled into one. Before you ask, "Derek who?," we'll tell you: Blasberg is a New York-based fashion scribe for Style.com and V Magazine who made himself a boldface name after escorting A-list celebrities such as Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Emma Watson and Chloe Sevigny on the global society whirl. Blasberg decided to parlay time spent on the arms of social butterflies into an etiquette book, "Classy: Exceptional Advice for the Extremely Modern Lady," positioning himself as a latter-day Emily Post who advises what one should or should not tweet or upload to Facebook.

The big screen has found its Harry Potter: 11-year-old British actor Daniel Radcliffe.

Radcliffe portrayed young David in a recent BBC adaptation of "David Copperfield." He also appears in the upcoming John Boorman movie "The Tailor of Panama."
