Media-Whore D'Oevres



"The ever adorable Winona Ryder stole on the set of the upcoming Sex and Death 101—everyone's hearts, that is! Through nudity! (Awww.) According to writer/director Daniel Waters, 'Even I was a little shocked when Winona insisted on rehearsing her love scene topless. Who was I to protest?' (Musto)

"'In the past, presidents’ children or candidates’ children were more window dressing, especially daughters,' continued Danziger. Although former Democratic presidential candidates John F. Kerry, in 2004, and Al Gore, in 2000, both had daughters on the trail, none received as much attention as or were perceived to have the effectiveness of Chelsea or Meghan (McCain). Famous former first daughter Chelsea, 28, and campaign-curiosity-turned-key-player Meghan, 23, have become mainstays on the trail. Both have been garnering attention for their up-front roles since the New Hampshire primaries in November, which marked a huge turning point for Clinton and McCain. 'It’s fair to say this is the first campaign in which two grown women have played roles of different kinds,' said Barbara Kellerman, author of the book 'All the President’s Kin.' Their roles have diverged, with Chelsea’s functioning as a traditional surrogate working campaign stops and Meghan’s offering up 'straight talk' via her blog, McCainBlogette.com." (Politico)

"He went down a storm in TV movie A Raisin In The Sun, so now P Diddy plans to add 'movie star' to his CV. Our source reveals: 'He mingled with Tinseltown's finest at Elton John's Oscars party - now he wants to move to LA and launch his acting career.'" (3AMGirls)

"A trio of contested open primaries with big implications for the GOP’s ability to win back seats will be held Tuesday in some of the more Republican-leaning districts that flipped Democratic in 2006.House Republican campaign head Tom Cole (Okla.) said shortly after the 2006 election that Republicans would see no shortage of candidates in 2008, and that’s certainly been the case in three key races in Ohio and Texas. Few primaries have proven as unpredictable as in two districts that the party lost due to ethics issues — those currently held by Reps. Nick Lampson (D-Texas) and Zack Space (D-Ohio). Six hopefuls have raised big money in Lampson’s district, while the multi-candidate race to battle Space has been slow-forming and relatively cash-poor.Another seat that flipped Democratic in 2006, now held by Rep. Ciro Rodriguez (D-Texas), will feature a previously unknown self-funder against an established county commissioner who entered the race only recently." (TheHill)

"Ingrid Sischy and Sandy Brant arrived in Paris on Friday morning to attend shows throughout the weekend. 'We're here to see some art, attend a few shows, dine with friends; it's the best way to do it!' said Sischy. 'Plus, we have some fittings for the cat.' (Fashionweekdaily)

"On Sunday evening, Marc Jacobs and Yves Carcelle wrapped up Paris fashion week—in fact, fashion month—with a dinner in honor of the new Louis Vuitton Emprise watch at a posh private residence. While some guests still had some pep in them ('I want to find out whose house this is and then seduce them,' plotted Milla Jovovich), others seemed to have reached their saturation point—including the host himself. 'I am so tired. I think that I'm gonna sneak out now,' Jacobs announced." (Style)
