Image
Filed under: Celeb Parents , Celeb News & Interviews When one of the world's best-known fashion stylists has a baby, you just know a children's line can't be far behind. And, so is the case with Rachel Zoe . The reality show star who dresses celebs like Anne Hathaway, Cameron Diaz and Kate Hudson on Bravo's "The Rachel Zoe Project," is a new mom to Skyler, 4, months, with hubby Rodger Berman, and she tells ABC's "Nightline" she is working on a kiddie collection. "Let me tell you, there is going to be a lot of boys' clothes in my line," she tells the news show. Of course, Skyler, naturally, already has an amazing collection of clothes. His closet, shown on "Nightline," is, as Zoe would say, ba-na-nas. Huge and filled with the usual stuff -- you know, Missoni sweaters here, a Gucci bomber jacket there -- she tells the show he is fully dressed until age 2. It won't be the first collection for the stylist. Zoe already ...

Add to My Stories Share When Kim Cattrall was a 17-year-old innocent in Hollywood, making her debut in a film called Rosebud, she was called to one side by the director, Otto Preminger and told she reminded him of Marilyn Monroe.Then came the punchline. Not in your looks, of course, but in your lack of talent, he said, and strode away.For the devastated Cattrall, it was a career-defining moment although he had intended to fatally wound rather than provide her with helpful advice. Poles apart: Kim Cattrall in Meet Monica Velour, in which she plays a former star of adult movies who is reduced to dancing in a sleazy strip club Actually, he was right, she says now. I was terribly nave and not at all glamorous, with wild hair, scruffy jeans, and no make-up. It dawned on me that my looks were going to be every bit as important as my acting ability. It made me realise that maybe I needed to dress up a bit. This paid off years later when, at 41, she was to win one of the most glamorous r...

Image
Add to My Stories Share With her pink jacket and strands of pearls, Hillary Clinton looked both elegant and professional when she visited the Norwegian Embassy today.And while fashion was likely the last thing on her mind, her choice of outfit could not have been more well-timed given that she was the subject of cutting criticism from Project Runway judge Tim Gunn last night. In an interview with George Lopez, the fashion expert, 57, accused Mrs Clinton of favouring unflattering mannish clothes, and that she should use her position to send a more positive message about American fashion. Mannish? Hillary Clinton wore a pink jacket and pearls for her visit to the Norwegian Embassy today - just hours after Tim Gunn slated her style on TVHe said: 'She's the Secretary of State, she's a former senator from New York, she's a former first lady. Why must she dressthat way?'I think she's confused about her gender. All these big, baggy menswear tailored pantsuits? I...

Laying it bare: Erik Holler first noticed his gynecomastia in 1994 when on military boot camp.

And it will lead you to the light." -- Cole Porter We commonly refer to something simple as mere child's play. However, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Stanford University say there is nothing "mere" about child's play . Children are actually performing complex experiments. They are little scientists, Wired magazine reports. To prove just how scientifically children approach their work, researchers gave a group of them a toy that lights up and plays music when the child places certain beads on. When children didn't know which beads would activate the toy -- what scientists call "ambiguous evidence" -- they tested each variable in turn. Laura Schulz, a professor at MIT, tells Wired it's like someone trying unsuccessfully to open a door with a key. "You might change the position of the key, you might chang...
