In: Carolina Herrera. Okay, The Corsair is going to confide in you, dear reader. You can keep a secret. After he does so, he will be vulnerable, he'll need comfort in your forgiving arms, so be sensitive, his silent waters run deep. Okay, here goes (The Corsair takes a deep breath) -- Is The Corsair a freak for finding (The Corsair sips a glass of "liquid courage") 65 year old Carolina Herrera vaguely hott? (Waits a beat) I am? (profoundly embarrassed) Okay, uh, like that was just rhetorical and such. Whatever.
Above: The sexiest senior citizen in America. Grroww...
Anyhoo: NySocial Diary writes of the strangely sexy icon:
"Andr� Leon Tally hosted a party at Bergdorf?s celebrating the publication of Alexandra Kotur's book, Carolina Herrera: Portrait of a Fashion Icon. Fresh from receiving the Fashion Force Award at Glamour's Women of the Year Awards the night before, Herrera held court for close to two hours surrounded by a sea of admirers who came to show their love for a woman whose name has become synonymous with elegance.
"Born into an aristocratic Venezuelan family, Carolina Herrera attended her first fashion show at the age of 13, showcased her first collection at the New York Metropolitan Club in 1981 and has since distinguished herself through a storied career that has seen her dress the Royals as well as First Ladies Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis, Nancy Reagan and Laura Bush. Of the many Society designers to emerge during the 1980's Herrera is the lone survivor."
Out: Dan Rather. Weasel! According to CBS (link via DrudgeReport), Dan Rather is history:
"Dan Rather will step down from 'CBS Evening News' in the spring of 2005, ABC News has learned.
"CBS declined to comment on Rather's future."
Oh, The Corsair will comment on Rather's future. One word: Bleak.
The Corsair has fucked with Dan Rather's weasely-leftish ass in the past. Often. Really, really (The Corsair smiles warmly at the memories of really nailing Rathers ass to the wall over the months in this blog) often, but we'll miss him. We will. We'll miss his pasty ass. The image of he and Bill Clinton, dressed in matching blue jeans (Rather's denim pulled up granpa-like, hiked all the way up to his belly; Clinton's, of course, fashionable, figure flattering), strolling down the streets of Little Rock on that fateful 60 Minutes always has me rofl. Frankly, Dan Rather was a colossal mistake for the network -- not intelligent, not sophisticated, opportunistic, charismatically challenged. What were they thinking? And, while we are on the subject: What was the frequency, Kenneth?
In: Reba McEntire, Fashion Plate. According to FashionWeekDaily:
"Reba McEntire, the country music singing, sitcom acting, red-headed Jill-of-all-trades has chosen the Arnell Group, a division of Omnicom to create and launch the advertising campaign for her new clothing line, Reba, to be sold through Dillard?s stores beginning spring ?05.
"'Peter and the Arnell Group have been responsible for launching some of the most successful brands in America today. I'm tickled to pieces to get the chance to work with him. His creative eye and knowledge of the marketplace will be a tremendous addition to our team,' said McEntire."
We're tickled as well. The new emerging trend of classes for the masses is trickling down to the heartland. Only, she will have her work cut out for her with her particular, uhm, (air quotes) "demographic" (sotto voce, those among us who consume possum and fried Spam ... shhh), as they tend to wear tube tops to weddings.
Out: Colin Farrell. According to the 3AM Girls:
"CHARMING Colin Farrell 'christens' every hotel room he stays in - by going to the loo as soon as he gets there.
"The hellraising actor says he likes nothing more than reading the room-service menu while doing a number two.
"He confessed: 'Me and my sister still get excited every time we go into a hotel.
"'The first things I do when I get into the hotel room are go in, have a s***, read the menu and think: 'What am I going to replace this with tonight?'
"'For some reason, I have to christen every room as soon as I get into it.'"
Thanks for sharing, Colin.
In: Al Reynolds. Too funny. This, from that significant cultural artifact, The National Enquirer:
"Star Jones' wedding joy was threatened by behind-the-scenes turmoil, a feuding wedding party--and the public humiliation of the bride, say sources.
"Star ripped into groom Al Reynolds for reigniting rumors he's gay--just days before the ceremony. War erupted among the bridesmaids. And 'The View' queen's demands triggered resentment, charge insiders.
And, under the banner headline, "Bad Move," we read:
"The November 13 nuptials to Wall Street banker Al Reynolds became the biggest celebrity wedding fiasco of the year even before the sizable 'Bridezilla'--as she was dubbed by the New York press--walked down the aisle at the historic St. Bartholomew's Church in Manhattan.
"'Star was humiliated by Al when she found that only weeks before he went to a Halloween party at a gay-friendly Manhattan club. Al was dressed as a male stripper--wearing a Speedo swimsuit and white bathrobe,' a close source told The ENQUIRER."
The Corsair softly chuckles.
"'He went to the club with friends who were dressed like the Village People.'
"When Star found out about Al's shenanigans, she quickly set him straight."
Oh no, dear, Star won't be setting anyone straight (two snaps and a neck roll)
