Two Out, One In on Project Runway
Leanne said Kenley's looks were too "Holly Hobby" and amateurish for Bryant Park, while Kenley said that Leanne didn't know how to use color and had brought a boring collection to New York Fashion Week. And Korto thought that Korto had really nailed it.
But, personal opinions be damned, only one snazzy sticher-upper was named the winner of the fifth season of Project Runway tonight after the first all-female finale in series history. And considering plans for the series' move to Lifetime have unraveled like Jerell's chances of launching a bridal collection, we may as well soak up the couture while we can.
Hauteiness and all...
Did the Project Runway Finale Deliver?
That's it. You watched the Project Runway finale, you read the recap and felt the warmth of Tim Gunn's embrace. Now it's up to you. Were you totally thrilled with the outcome, or did you think one of the other two designers should be cruising off in that hybrid vehicle?
Janet Jackson Resumes Rockin' Witchu
Love doesn't have to do without Janet Jackson anymore.
The 42-year-old pop diva performed as if she had never heard of a thing called vertigo as she finally resumed her Rock Witchu Tour Wednesday night in Washington, D.C.
Miss Jackson had been sidelined since Sept. 29 with migraine-associated vertigo and, on doctors' orders, was forced to postpone nine shows, including one originally scheduled for tomorrow at Madison Square Garden.
But the sell-out crowd gathered at the Verizon Center tonight got lucky. Jackson made her entrance amid fireworks and theatrical smoke and then, knowing what works, kicked off the show with a medley of "The Pleasure Principle," "Control" and "What Have You Done for Me Lately," all off of 1986's Control.
"It feels so good to be back after being down just a little bit," the artist said during a brief break in the evening's lineup, which also included her latest single, "Feedback," "Miss You Much," "Nasty" and "Rhythm Nation."
Madonna's Ex-Files: From Sean to Guy and Beyond
To know where you're going with Madonna, Mr. Rodriguez, it's best to know where she has been, love-wise. With the Big M being the most recent Hollywood scheduled divorcée (officially, at least) we want to ensure we don't have another sad postsplit Jennifer Aniston sitch on our hands. So we can all educate ourselves, let's take a look at where M's gone wrong in her past 'ships and where it should've gone better.
To begin with, there were Dan Gilroy (X-BF, 1979-1980) and Steve Bray (X-BF, 1980-1982), both one-time members of the Breakfast Club. And then:

David Duchovny and Téa Leoni: Separate Lives
Where there's smoke, there's usually fire.
Hot on the heels of David Duchovny's revelation that he required treatment for a sex addiction, he and his wife of more than 11 years, Téa Leoni, have confirmed that they have split.
"In light of continuous speculation over the lives and marriage of Téa Leoni and David Duchovny, the couple has confirmed that they have in fact been separated for several months," the actors' reps said in a joint statement to People.
"The couple had hoped to keep this separation private for the sake of their children."
Denis Leary Tries to Defuel His Autism Fire
Denis Leary is looking to rescue himself—not to mention his sales figures—from a firestorm of criticism.
In response to comments that his new humorous book, Why We Suck: A Feel Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid, makes light of autism or treats it as if it were an excuse used by overwhelmed parents, Leary suggests that those critics obviously haven't read the book.
"Or if they have," the Emmy-nominated actor said in a statement, "they missed the sections I thought made my feelings about autism very clear: that I not only support the current rational approaches to the diagnoses and treatment of real autism but have witnessed it firsthand while watching very dear old friends raise a functioning autistic child."
Brit's Back: "Womanizer" Tops Charts, Record Books
Britney Spears' Circus is coming to town, and "Womanizer" looks to be the main attraction.
The lead single from Spears' birthday-targeting album, opened at No. 96 based on airplay alone last week. This week, digital sales and expanded radio rotation helped "Womanizer" rewrite the record books with a historic jump to the top of the charts.
Ryan, Redmond O'Neal Hit With Felony Drug Charge
It's love that means never having to say you're sorry—not drug busts.
Ryan O'Neal, 67, and his son Redmond, 23, were charged with felony drug possession Wednesday stemming from their Sept. 17 arrest at the elder O'Neal's Malibu home.
During what was characterized as a routine probation checkup related to Redmond's previous drug-related offenses, police allegedly found the young man to be in possession of what was later confirmed to be methamphetamine. Officers also allegedly uncovered a vial of the stuff in Ryan's bedroom.
Each O'Neal is facing one count of felony possession of a controlled substance, as well as two misdemeanor counts of possession of drug paraphernalia and one count of illegal possession of pepper spray.
Khloe Kardashian Steered to the Morgue
Things got really real for Khloe Kardashian today.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians sister made a field trip to the Los Angeles County Morgue Wednesday, an unpleasant sojourn fellow Hollywood fixtures such as Lindsay Lohan and Barron Hilton were forced to make following their DUI arrests, as well.
Kardashian, who pleaded no contest to DUI in 2007 and received 36 months' probation in August, spent several hours at the facility—two weeks after a judge warned her to get a move on.
After she provided proof during an Oct. 1 hearing that all she had left of her court-ordered penance was to visit the morgue, a judge gave the 24-year-old until Nov. 17 to wrap it up.
And Kardashian knew that the judge was serious: Kim's little sis was sentenced to 30 days in jail in July for failing to complete the terms of her probation in a timely manner. She ultimately served just under five hours.
