Media-Whore D'Oevres



"Jude Law may have mixed feelings about his latest squeeze - model Tolula Adeyemi - after she posed naked for ...Diva magazine. In one picture, she is topless and appears to be shaving her head. In another she smokes a cigar as a pair of denim overalls fall provocatively from her shoulder." (Thisislondon)

"Gen. Colin Powell lent his star power to Sen. Ted Stevens's criminal trial Friday, praising the Republican for his 'sterling' reputation and fierce advocacy of Alaska's interests. 'I never heard in all these years a single dissenting voice with respect to his integrity, with respect to his forthrightness,' said Powell, an Army general whose long career includes stints as secretary of state under President Bush, national security adviser for President Ronald Reagan and former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff under President George H.W. Bush." (TheHill)

"Last night was a gorgeous dinner at Indochine to celebrate Paper's first ever Art issue, cover girl Julianne Moore and photographer Marilyn Minter (Moore and Minter both wore Calvin). It was a red-headed affair! The party was hosted by Paper's Kim Hastreiter and Hunter Hill and Calvin Klein's Francisco Costa .. The guests included Moore and her sexy director husband Bart Freundlich, Minter and husband Bill Miller, actor Matthew Modine, Christopher and Amanda Brooks, Calvin's Italo Zucchelli, Malcolm Carfrae and Nacole Snoep, Allison Sarofim and Stuart Parr, Anh Duong, Vogue's Sally Singer and writer husband Joseph Oneill."

"Though her multiple SNL appearances as Sarah Palin have certainly boosted Tina Fey's cultural cachet, true Fey nerds can have their thirst quenched by only one thing: new 30 Rock! NBC has cruelly delayed the third season premiere until November 6 (when Fey will either be done playing Palin or suddenly find herself with a demanding second job), but the network parceled out a thirty-second, Oprah-filled morsel of the new season last night." (Defamer)

"While some celebrity homeowners--Julian Schnabel for one--are hurrying to get rid of their lavish homes as the economy continues to dissolve, others are taking to the old tradition of "nesting," a term that gained currency post 9/11 when (as USA Today wrote in January 2002) people started 'spending more time at home' and 'feathering [their] nests with more elaborate and entertaining diversions.'" (Observer)

"MADONNA is a demanding diva even to her peers. The Swedish pop star Robyn was psyched when the Material Mom invited her to open for a handful of her European concerts but quickly found out there are rules. Robyn told her hometown Swedish paper that she and her crew were told 'not to approach Madonna, not to speak to Madonna and, above all, no pictures . . . I hadn't expected any glamour, but it's strange that they assume that the first thing you're gonna do is run after Madonna and ask for an autograph. My worst nightmare would be to turn into Madonna . . . Madonna is constantly chasing the latest trends.'" (NYPost)

"Remember all the talk earlier this year about you know who, going who knows where? Well, CBS News would like you to know that all their news programs — not just 60 Minutes — are growing. Yes, the presidential campaign has helped, and who knows what will happen after the election. Either way, CBS News programs are drawing more viewers these days. And they want you to know about it." (TVNewser)

"Off to McCain town hall. They'll have to bring their own pitchforks." (Ana Marie Cox/Twitter)

"After four weeks of runway watching in New York, London, Milan, and Paris, we’ll let you in on a little secret: we’re still rocking to the many new and resurrected tracks that were played during the Big Apple’s Fashion Week in September. We thought we’d share the love and let you in on the list we compiled—it includes the songs from nearly 50 shows, including Marc by Marc Jacobs, Zac Posen, Diane von Furstenberg, and more, along with links to our top recommendations."
