Scarlett Johansson joins the exodus of [...]

I’ve seen Rufus Wainwright perform in all sorts of places: the great outdoors over a year ago at the Last Song of Summer fundraiser for Robert Wilson’s Watermill Center, and then an elementary-school gymnasium a couple months back for the same benefit. There was the rousing revival of Judy Garland hits at Carnegie Hall, and [...]

It wasn’t coffee that jolted me awake this morning but an e-mail with the new Mango campaign starring Scarlett Johansson. There she was in all her blonde glory, sprawled out on a (very questionable) floral couch in a sweater and ripped nylons (which seem to be as trendy as ripped jeans and just as tacky). [...]

Billy Joel and his child bride, err, third wife, Katie Lee Joel, are getting a divorce, and yes, all the Movin’ Out jokes have already been made. More surprising? Yigal Azrouël’s reported role in the breakup. Not agreeing, just reporting. [Page Six]
Hollywood is looking for a new bride of Frankenstein, and they’d like her to [...]

According to Tamara Taichman, simplicity is the new statement. And Taichman should know: The French fashion editor is also the mind behind Tila March, the low-key line of handbags that’s earned a feverish following since its 2006 debut at Colette and Printemps. The label’s fans, among them Scarlett Johansson and Kirsten Dunst, will no doubt [...]

“There is a tiny bit of Marilyn Monroe in her zaftig humidity,” Woody Allen has said of ScarJo. But for how long?
Page Six reports today that the currently brunette star is on a “rigid diet.” Will the bespectacled director still find a thin Johansson “criminally sexy”? Will you?

10 a.m.
I went to see Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi [co-designers for Gianfranco Ferré and Aquilano.Rimondi] at their showroom. We had a long talk about how to move forward now that they have become such credible, respected, and established names in the industry.
1 p.m.
I took a quick break for myself and, at the same time, [...]

Nipple tassels, bodysuits, a gilded cage…what more could you want from a Britney Spears comeback concert? Dsquared²’s Dan and Dean were there via video, and the cheetah head they designed for last night’s opening act was—in a word—fierce. And while everyone caught on to the fact that she was lip-synching, no one really seemed to [...]
