Finale Part I starts out on the runway … Heidi tells the designers tell them they each have $8,000 and five months to put together a collection of 12 pieces. Of course, either Chris or Rami will make it to fashion week. (Why is she carrying the black velvet bag?) Then it’s up to the apartment roof for champagne, where Christian breaks his “fierce” embargo. (Although, technically, the reunion episode was taped after this one, so we’ll cut him slack on this one.)

Well, that whole “one extra girl” thing sort of took care of itself, didn’t it?

Because one extra girl on “America’s Next Top Model” goes home tonight – of her own accord.

I’m adventurous when it comes to fragrances: the stranger, the better for me. When I read a few years ago that actor Alan Cumming introduced his eponymous fragrance with notes of (among other things) “leather, peat fire, highland mud, burnt rubber and white truffle,” I ordered a bottle without even smelling it.

That’s because I couldn’t smell it – it wasn’t being sold anywhere in the Valley.

It was $69 well spent … that time. But I hate gambling – or more accurately, I hate gambling and losing (I’ve never played even a nickel slot machine on any of my trips to Las Vegas) – so I’m not too keen on the prospect of plunking down a lot of hard-earned cash for something I may or may not like.

And yet, there are so many scents out there I want to try – or at least sniff. How can you not be intrigued by something called “Lady Vengeance” (by a perfume house with an equally entertaining name, Juliette Has a Gun)? Or “Cruel Gardenia”? Or the fact that “888” by Comme des Garçons was designed to capture the fragrance of … gold?!

Nanette Lepore’s new collection of shoes designed for Keds leaves me … underwhelmed at best, and in the case of the worst offender, this multicolor wedge, downright unimpressed.

I see the dress, I think Kentucky Derby. Run away from the roses! Removing them would have left a beautiful dress.

Silver really doesn’t flatter Renee Zellweger’s complexion, but the gown is tasteful and pretty … and kind of boring. I never thought I’d say that about something with that much glitter.

Coco Chanel said that before you leave the house, you should take off one piece of jewelry.

Nicole Kidman proves you might even want to do it twice. And start with the biggest one and work down.

I have no idea what Antonio Sabato Jr. was doing at the Academy Awards tonight. Or what the deal was with the Johnny Cash-style piping on his jacket. Because other than that it looked pretty flawless.

A tux-style overcoat? Seriously? Maybe he’s testing out a costume?
