Red Dot Review

Rumors are percolating about a possible Christy Turlington and Ed Burns wedding re-do. The once betrothed toothy twosome was splitsville for a while but have recently reconciled. During the break Christy mended her broken heart (and chakra's) through successive sun salutations while Ed was doing downward dogs of a different kind. However, when all is said and done, Ed has cozied back up to Christy and they are allegedly planning a Spring/Summer wedding in San Francisco.

Game On...

This just in...one of the first photos taken on the wintry set of Sex and the City. Now we all know that pantyhose are considered a fashion faux paus amongst the fashionista set, but open-toed shoes in bone chilling NYC is not a look most girls are relishing at the moment. Flowing chiffon dresses and pintucked blazers are usually reserved until the frost has stopped nipping at every square inch of exposed flesh. But, we must remember that SITC is a major reality suspender and the proof lies in fact that Carrie is carrying the Louis Vuitton Murakami Papillon bag, a coveted accessory that no mere columnist could ever afford (even if she worked for a power fashion resource, like say ... Splendora).

Womanizer of the year Colin Farrell is reportedly expecting a child via model conquest, Kim Bordenave. The gentleman with the Irish brogue has been seen all over Tinsel Town chatting up the likes of Demi Moore, Gwyneth Paltrow, and most infamously, Britney Spears. Apparently it's his "charm" that the ladies find simply irresistible. Since Colin is quite a busy guy who's to say that there is only one child on the way?
