"Winona Ryder and Marisa Tomei added some star wattage to an otherwise mundane front row this week with their appearance at the Alberta Ferretti show. Entering the giant space at Via Senato where a clear tent had been erected, the actresses dramatically emerged from backstage behind Anna Wintour and André Leon Talley, surrounded by security, and quickly took their seats alongside Candy Pratts Price and Hamish Bowles."
"Armed bandits raided Francis Ford Coppola's Argentine headquarters and stole a computer with the screenplay for the upcoming feature film "Tetro," according to local news media. The director of 'The Godfather' apparently was not in Buenos Aires at the time of the robbery Wednesday night. A federal police spokesman, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to give his name, confirmed that a robbery had occurred and a judge was investigating, but he said he could not give details."

"US director legend Francis Ford Coppola returns from a decade-long directing hiatus with 'Youth Without Youth,' to be premiered next month at the second annual Rome film festival. Based on a novella by Romanian author Mircea Eliade and shot in Bucharest, 'Youth Without Youth' is an "important film that will generate a lot of discussion,' organiser Piera DeTassis said on Thursday as this year's lineup was unveiled. She described the film as Coppola's 'third renaissance' following 'Apocalypse Now' and 'The Godfather.'" (AFP)
"Hollywood star Tom Cruise was left furious after a crew member on his latest film set passed wind during a minute's silence.The actor - who is shooting World War II drama Valkyrie in Berlin - had paused filming to honour the anti-Nazi heroes portrayed in the movie when one employee decided to break wind during the tribute ... The silence was filmed and now Cruise and the producers will go through the footage to identify the culprit, who is likely to be fired." (Stuff)
"Pouring, pouring rain deluged Milan overnight and continued straight through the Alberta Ferretti show and dinner. At Gucci's show at Piazza Oberdan, traffic came to a standstill for miles in every direction as editors, refusing to get out until they needed to for fear of ruining their shoes and hairdos, clogged up the near-flooded streets and the blaring of police sirens and whistles was never-ending ... An hour after the show was scheduled to start, Vanity Fair's Elizabeth Saltzman appeared to have been one of the victims of the city's horrendous rain-meets-rush hour fiasco. She scampered down to an available second row seat after a handful of looks had already passed." (Fashionweekdaily)
"New York ran into Chloë Sevigny at Public last night, at the party for Sebaka Wines. We were like, 'Chloë, how arrrrre you.' Then we went ahead and asked her how she feels about all the people who have been making fun of the fashion line she recently debuted at Opening Ceremony. Her reaction was totally hippie meets hip-hop, a little bit like the look she is rocking on the left. 'There will always be haters,' she said. 'I'm just living my life.'"(NYMag)
"Michael Jackson, the man who moved to Dubai to dodge the paparazzi, is making up for lost time in front of the cameras. L'Uomo Vogue's October issue, due out next week, will feature a 20-page spread on the musician, shot by Bruce Weber, to coincide with the 25th anniversary of Jackson's smash album 'Thriller.' 'It's magnificent,' editorial director Franca Sozzani boasted Tuesday at the Milan shows. 'He hasn't allowed himself to be photographed for 16 years!'" (WWD)
"In Hollywood, where and how you spend your leisure time says as much about you as your nanny cam or IMDB Web page. Indeed, most bizzers—having just returned from summer jaunts to Lake Como or the Fiji Islands (that is, if they managed to escape the work deluge caused by the possibility of a writers' strike next year)—are already contemplating where they'll head during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, when the entire industry, in an act of unspoken complicity, agrees to flee ... Things were not always so cushy. Peter Guber, producer and former chairman and chief executive of Sony Pictures, says when he started in the business in the 1970s, 'if somebody took an extra two days off, or a week off, they were looked at askance.' Now, Guber says, 'I find people leaving in October for Christmas vacation.'"(LATimes)
