>> BLOWING THE COVER —Kate Moss has racked up her 26th British Vogue cover and her forth December cover for the magazine with this Nick Knight-lensed three-page foldout. There's no accompanying editorial to the "Fantastic Fashion Fantasy" inside, but over the weekend, Kate was living another fashion fantasy, re-donning her famous Glastonbury PVC pants for a Catwoman Halloween costume in LA.

>> Naomi Campbell often appears to have a larger than life personality, and now, Nick Knight is working to make appearance reality.
The photographer is using 3-D scanners to create a series of 30-foot tall Naomi sculptures.
So far, he has scanned Naomi "straddling the barrel of a large tank" to form one sculpture, and another is envisioned as a "circle of three Naomis, like The Three Graces." No word on what material will be used to fashion the final product — alabaster and fiberglass are both being considered — but Mr. Knight hopes to have the sculptures ready by the end of the year.
As for the flesh-and-blood Naomi, she has to return to the Heathrow police station by the end of this month to hear whether she will be charged with assaulting a police officer aboard a British Airways plane . . .
