For TRR, watching Grace Coddington and Anna Wintour go head-to-coiffed-head in The September Issue was the equivalent of watching a very, very sedate WWE match. Every veiled barb about money management or scuffle about whether PVC constituted a 'texture' was like seeing a Half Nelson skillfully executed by, uh, some wrestler or other - Piledriving Miss Wintour, if you will.

You can imagine our delight, then, to learn this week that Coddington is planning to release a memoir  detailing her early life, her modelling career and, most importantly, her time at Vogue; it's to be written in conjunction with former Men's Vogue editor-in-chief Jay Fielden, and is slated for release in Autumn.

"I'm hoping it's going to be very rich in fashion history. It's more than just about me," she told Vogue Online. Quite frankly, we couldn't give a toss if it was all about our favourite flame-haired titan, and nothing else. Our only proviso? That it contains at least a smattering of scandalous gossip about Nuclear Wintour, with at least one revelation concerning her much-discussed 'do.

Seriously, what the hell is that thing? It's like Darth Vader's helmet crossed with a busby. We bet Grace knows something we don't.
