******* "Yes dahling, it's sell, sell, sell," Kate Moss says of her new apparel collection for Topshop in the April issue of British Vogue, out Monday. British Vogue unveils the collection in a 10-page, exclusive feature in which Moss also dishes on her inspirations for the collection. "I thought it should be a bit more edgy. Just because you're wearing a pretty dress, it doesn't have to be all pretty-pretty," she says. "I'd just gotten this book of photographs about that club Studio 54 and I wanted it more like that." Nick Knight shot Moss in six outfits from the 80-piece line. The Kate Moss for Topshop collection launches in stores and online on May 1, with prices ranging from about $23 for a cotton tank to $380 for items such as a leather jacket. The Vogue cover shot features a black lam? minidress, which retails for 55 pounds, or $106. MORE ONLINE

There are at least a billion reasons to copy a designer brand, just ask Bernard Arnault, the owner of Zara and the head of H&M. All three have landed in the top 20 of the 2007 Forbes Billionaires List. The LVMH Mo?t Hennessy Louis Vuitton chief is worth $26 billion, putting him seventh on the list, and is closely followed by Zara's Amancio Ortega, with a net worth of $24 billion, and Stefan Persson of H&M, who has $18.4 billion. But cheap chic certainly isn't the only fashionable way to get on the list. Fran?ois Pinault of PPR, parent of Gucci Group, isn't far behind Persson, with $14.5 billion, and Alain and Gerard Wertheimer of Chanel have a net worth of $10 billion. Ralph Lauren checks in at number 158 on the list of 946 billionaires, with a net worth of $5 billion, and Giorgio Armani is right behind Lauren, with $4.5 billion. Prada and Herm?s (Dumas) are the biggest fashion names to drop off the list this year, largely due to new information that showed their fortunes were shared with multiple family members, a spokeswoman said. Several media moguls also are sitting pretty in the billionaire's club, with Rupert Murdoch up $2.5 billion this year to $9 billion as News Corp. enjoys the success of Fox News and MySpace. S.I. Newhouse Jr., chairman of Cond? Nast Publications (parent of WWD), and Donald Newhouse share the same ranking and net worth, each having $7.3 billion, and sit at number 100 on the list — last year's list had both men sharing the 65th rank. Meanwhile, Murdoch nemesis and New York Daily News owner Mort Zuckerman makes the list with $2.8 billion. William Randolph Hearst 3rd leads the Hearst family in the rankings with $2.1 billion.

A largely admiring profile of New York Times managing editor for news Jill Abramson in the April issue of Elle, partially illustrated with a photo-booth strip of Abramson and buddy Maureen Dowd in 1999, leaves virtually no aspect of the editor unexamined. There's her professional prowess ("Abramson has, with one notable exception, impressed every boss she's worked for with what [The New Yorker's Jane] Mayer characterizes as her habit of almost never making mistakes"), her voice ("adenoidal to the point of honk"), discussions of her involvement as Washington bureau chief in the Judith Miller and Jayson Blair affairs — and the question of who will succeed current executive editor Bill Keller. New York Times Co. chairman Arthur Sulzberger Jr. denies to Elle writer Andrew Goldman that appointing the first woman to hold the post would be reason itself to pick Abramson. "You're talking to the guy who hired the first female general manager of The New York Times, the guy who hired the first female editorial page editor and the first female [chief executive officer] of The New York Times Co.," Sulzberger says. "OK, if I had that in my system, I've gotten it out by now." (Last year, Abramson herself penned a Week in Review story for the Times headlined, "When Will We Stop Saying, 'First Woman to ____'?") Elsewhere in the issue, whose loose theme is ambition, former New Yorker editorial assistant Louisa Kamps catches up with her former colleagues at the magazine to analyze her post-motherhood loss of career drive. Those making cameos who have since climbed the media ladder include New York Times critic Virginia Heffernan, Men's Vogue editor in chief Jay Fielden and articles editor Mark Rozzo, New York Times dining editor Pete Wells and regular Times freelancer Liesl Schillinger.

Delving into the secrets of Graydon Carter is not for the faint of heart. A British book publisher has postponed an unauthorized biography of the Vanity Fair editor in chief after two researchers working on the book mysteriously quit. London-based Artnik Books, which specializes in biographies of athletes, actors, and other types of celebrities, was planning to publish Graydon Carter: Hollywood Power Broker last October, using an anonymous author and researchers based in the U.S. But the project had to be put on hold after the researchers "got cold feet," says publisher Victor Lewis. "They quit very suddenly and with not much explanation," he says. "As we are a UK publisher, the difficulty for us is to compile enough material remotely, through U.S.- and Canada-based researchers. The book's been put back until we have all we need." Lewis declines to identify the researchers by name, but says both were "young and ambitious" women, one of whom had earlier worked at VF. He speculates that Carter may have used his considerable influence to dissuade the researchers from prying into his background. "He is a bit of a dark horse, Graydon," he says. MORE ONLINE

This week's Sports Illustrated features a cover story (written by Alexander Wolff) on how global warming is affecting sports around the globe. Could the embattled mag be trying to save its rep by jumping on the issue of the moment? It's a nice try, but aren't they about a year late to the glossy green party? (The fact that we just suffered through the coldest February in 113 years doesn't help either.) Furthermore, why put Dontrelle Willis, the Florida Marlins flamethrower who was accused of drunk driving this offseason, on the cover standing in a pool of water? (Ever catch that TV ad where people get pulled over for drunk driving and a wave of alcohol rushes out when they open their door?) Couldn't S.I. find someone more wholesome? Like, say, Barry Bonds?
