Sterling Cooper‘s assets are being auctioned off a piece at a time, which would be sad, were it not a set for a fictional company and if we weren’t distracted by the fact that you can also buy one of Joan “Joanie” Harris’ famously Roger-attracting dresses. Pieces from the Mad Men set, office furniture mostly, are being auctioned off on eBay to benefit City of Hope, a L.A. County hospital focused on cancer treatment.

Vera Wang is doing a TV show

Marc Jacobs may not be doing a television show, but Vera Wang is. The designer told Style.com’s Darrell Hartman: “You’re getting a scoop,” Wang said. “I’m doing a TV show. It’s coming. I don’t know when, or how, but it’s coming.” No details were given, but it’s no stretch to guess it will be reality-based in some way. But wouldn’t it be great if she were doing a sitcom? We’re imagining a Caroline in the City rejig. Isaac Mizrahi guest stars. [Style File]

This documentary has it in the bag. (Sorry.)
Betcha never knew that sperm wear chinos.
Even the miracle of life needs a makeover today. Discovery Channel’s The Great Sperm Race (airs June 21, discoverychannel.ca), a British-Canadian co-production is inspired by the fact that any given ejaculation can produce 250 million sperm, but only one “winner” will meet the egg. The squiggly journey of sperm through the female reproductive system is blown up into live-action battlefield proportions. The tongue-in-cheek, albeit factual, approach involves auditing your average couple getting down to business while actor/sperm—millions of them—wait down there in the dangling meatballs, preparing for battle.

Coco attacks New York with a microphone
Photography by Peter Stigter
Back in February the fashion blogerati were all chattering wildly about the newly (and now no longer) redheaded Coco Rocha gunning around New York Fashion Week wielding a mic. The Canadian mannequin was on assignment for E! Canada, chronicling her life during fashion’s holy week and interviewing a barrage of personalities. The results, Coco Rocha Fashion Attack NYC, which airs tonight at 10 p.m. EST on E! (check your local listings), are an hour-long chronicle of model mayhem—makeup at DVF, a fitting at Michael Kors, agent meetings and house parties. Read more »

Dunnuh dunnuh. Dunnuh dunnuh.
It’s no secret among those who know me well how much I love 90210, old school style. I’m even the proud owner of a Dylan doll and heart-shaped pillow (shut up). So when word came out last fall that they were introducing a new version of 90210, I balked at the seemingly blasphemous idea.
