Click It. BEAT picks of the week.

On a rainy (or, in NY, snowy!) weekend, staying in and reading is the best thing to do.

Simon Doonan, of Barneys fame, just released his fifth book, Gay Men Don't Get Fat.

A few other books in my "queue": Furious Love: Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, and the Marriage of the Century, Then Again (Diane Keaton's memoir), and The Beautiful and Damned (with the fancy cover!).

Michelle Williams as Marilyn Monroe in the February issue of GQ, out now.

If you're heading to the movies, I recommend Contraband.

Girls in New York City generally wear darker nail polish than L.A. ladies do ... I followed suit yesterday with a manicure of Essie's Devil's Advocate. My favorite pale polish is Adore-a-Ball, also by Essie.

If you like Lana Del Rey, despite her much-discussed sort of awkward SNL performances last week, you can pre-order her album Born to Die on Amazon, out January 31.

If you're making snacks for the football games today, read these essential guacamole tips from Rick Bayless.

Do It. Nars event at Barneys.

If you love Nars makeup as much as I do, you'll want to be at Barneys this Saturday afternoon to meet its founder, François Nars (and maybe pick up a new, limited edition Laguna 'multiple').

Signed copies of Makeup Your Mind: Express Yourself (Nars' book, published in April by Rizzoli) will be available.

Saturday June 25, 2:00 - 4:00 p.m.

Call (310) 276-4400 ext. 5596 to pre-order a book or make an appointment with a Nars national makeup stylist, in store June 23-25.

Barneys is located at 9570 Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills. Info: barneys.com, (310) 276-4400
