"FORMER Interview magazine owner Sandy Brant had a close call in the Hamptons this summer.

"Famous French intellectual Bernard-Henri Lévy is optimistic about Barack Obama's chances in November. 'My feeling is that Barack Obama will win this election from far,' he said last night at the 92nd Street Y. A native French speaker in the next seat assured me he meant 'by far.' This, by the way, was not a 'prediction,' which Levy pointedly refused to make when asked to do so by the moderator, Sam Tanenhaus, the author and New York Times editor. 'Not a prediction,' he said, 'but a bet.'" (Observer)

Actress Michelle Rodriguez seemed minimally concerned with her outfit. "I'm wearing Gucci and some French guy," she shrugged." (Fashionweekdaily)
