Have. Want. Need.
Lindsay Lohan loves them. Not impressed? Kate Moss loves them. Not convinced. Madonna loves them. There. They were hot last Fall and it looks like cool leather jackets are here to stay. Some may argue they are a classic, the aforementioned ladies and maybe Slash, but for some the leather jacket is dicey. To prevent from looking too rocker babe or too aggressive, twin one with a feminine slip Read more
This crazy story kills me. One night one guy was doing what lots of guys do: watching porn. It must've been extremely noisy and uh, dramatic, because his downstairs neighbor was convinced he was hurting a woman. What does he do? Call police? Knock on the door? Nope. Downstairs dude grabs his SWORD (who the hell owns a sword?!), breaks the door down, and takes the bewildered porn-watcher at Read more
Lately, I've been seeing towers of cream puffs, or croquembouches, appearing all over the place, particularly in bridal magazines or on wedding blogs. The croquembouche is most certainly a delicious trend – we had one at our wedding and it was quite a hit! — but these magnificent sweet sculptures are more complicated than they may appear. To get an inside look at how these profiterole towers Read more
Everyone may be jumping on the 3D bandwagon these days, but Tarsem Singh's sword-and-sandals epic Immortals is a movie perfectly fit for the 3D screen. The opening scene foreshadows the predictable plot to come, but that doesn't make this film any less of a bloody-good visual masterpiece. And while it's impossible to ignore the obvious comparison to 300 (it has the same producers, after all), Read more
Joseph Morgan has been terrorizing this season of The Vampire Diaries as Klaus, a vampire/werewolf hybrid with many decades of scheming and torture in his past. He's been a delight to watch on TV, but he's also making an appearance on the big screen this week in the 3D epic Immortals, alongside Henry Cavill (aka the next Superman) and Kellan Lutz. I chatted with Morgan this week to talk about his Read more
New comedy releases weren't enough to knock Puss in Boots out of the first spot at the box office — the animated comedy starring Antonio Banderas's voice as a sword-wielding cat dominated the weekend with $33 million. The Ben Stiller-led Tower Heist came in second with $25.1 million, while a fellow new comedy release, A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas, followed in third place with $13.1 Read more
Matthew Broderick was able to take his kids James Wilkie, Loretta, and Tabitha out trick-or-treating in NYC yesterday. James was armed with a toy sword during his adventures while Tabitha was too cute as a strawberry and Loretta was a sheep. Sarah Jessica Parker wasn't able to join in on the fun since she's Down Under doing promotional work. This morning, she rose early for a photo call on behalf Read more
Between Alex's Day Off, her two restaurants, and a column on Food Network, star chef and restaurateur Alex Guarnaschelli has her hands pretty full. Still, she's somehow made room to compete in the forthcoming star-studded season of Next Iron Chef, which premieres this Sunday, Oct. 30. We caught up with her at the New York City Wine & Food Festival to get her thoughts on competing under Read more
There is a growing trend of businesses seeking feng shui consult and home buyers seriously taking feng shui factors like the unit number of the residence into consideration before purchasing. The New York Times reports an increasing number of real estate brokers who are coming to realize the importance of feng shui to their clients. I found this so fascinating that I decided to ask Marina Read more
Luke Evans, Logan Lerman, and Matthew Macfadyen swing swords in an effort to prevent the seizure of the French throne in this week's The Three Musketeers, while Zachary Quinto and Penn Badgley face more modern day problems in Margin Call, which chronicles a firm's reaction to the first few hours of the 2008 financial crisis. Both films deal with corrupt characters, but if you can't decide whether Read more
