* It looks like variety is the spice of life. Isaiah Mustafa, the beloved chest-baring, horseback-riding Old Spice guy, has been replaced by an actor who braves quicksand, snakes, and 'gators. We say bring back Mustafa! [Copyranter]
* A bevy of male hands get frisky with Kate Moss on the cover of Vogue Paris. We don't blame them — we're coveting Kate's gleaming Armani Privé jacket, too. [Fashionista]
* According to a new study, if a mother's firstborn child is a girl, the woman will work longer hours. Apparently, a firstborn girl leads to greater instability in a marriage, which then leads to more work for Mom. We're taking this one with a hefty grain of salt. [Globe & Mail]
* When the Orangina-hued cast of Jersey Shore hits up Florence, Italy to film their fourth fist-pumping season, they'll have to follow a strict set of rules. Mayor Matteo Renzi has insisted that the cast not be filmed drinking in public and instead wants the producers to promote the city's culture and culinary delights. Isn't that what David Rocco is for? [Fox News]
* Could Tom Ford be selling Fords? Canadian used-car salesman Dale Wurfel thinks so. He's been using the designer's image to drum up business with the cheeky tagline "You know you're not the first, but do you really care?" Our guess is that the image-conscious Ford will care — a lot.
