Paris Fashion Week

Paris Fashion Week as always was a major destination for the designer crowd recently. Boasting some of the hottest names in the industry and an A grade guest list, Paris is the home of Haute Courture.

Naturally plenty of press were on hand to give a blow by blow description of each days high and low lights. Now that the closing ceremony has come and gone the critics have given their overview of proceedings and as always it has involved an over use of adjectives and overstating the obvious.

FOR ALL WHO SERVED

Giving thanks this Memorial Day to my father-in-law, grandfathers, uncles (who thank god all made it home from the wars they fought) and to all the other men and women who served our country so that we can live this American life of backyard barbecues and feisty conversations; girls who run free in short-shorts, hair uncovered; libraries filled with books, that nobody can tell me I cannot read; and a democracy that though complicated and contentious is still the best one there's ever been.Source URL: http://thesoap-box.blogspot.com/2010/05/

Winfrey Coaxed Gaga Onstage At Gala

i see the gossip today about Gaga and Wintour... quite late.
and Gaga's speach is damn kickass that i almost wanna rush to buy 100 albums of hers!


By WENN (reblog from Taragana)                                                            May 5th, 2010
LADY GAGA sent her entourage into panic mode at Monday’s (03May10) Costume Institute Gala in New York after refusing to leave her dressing room - and had to be coaxed out by the event’s co-organiser OPRAH WINFREY.

The Poker Face superstar had been personally asked by Vogue editor Anna Wintour - who throws the lavish bash at the Metropolitan Museum of Art every year - to perform for the star-studded crowd.

But Gaga’s team was sent into a spin when the singer reportedly locked herself in her changing area and insisted she would not walk the red carpet.

She only agreed to leave the room after TV titan Winfrey - who shared hosting duties with Wintour - encouraged her to perform, according to New York Post gossip column Page Six.

An insider tells the publication, “She literally wouldn’t come out. Friends tried, (Warner Music executive) Lyor Cohen tried, no dice (luck). Eventually, (artist) Vito Schnabel came over and got (Gaga’s friend) Terence Koh on the phone to talk to her, which helped. Koh and Oprah were the ones who finally coaxed her out.”


And the singer seemingly wasn’t in the mood to stick to the rules - she told the A-list audience Wintour had requested she refrained from swearing onstage, adding: “So Anna, I will do my f**cking best!”

Anne Keothavong In Action

Anne Keothavong has claimed she would have done broken into the world's top 50 years ago were it not for “unprofessional people” at the Lawn Tennis Association.
The 25-year-old rose four places to 48th in the rankings, following her run to the semi-finals in the Cellular South Cup in Memphis last week.
She is the first British woman since Jo Durie 16 years ago to make it into the top 50, and it continues the relatively late blossoming of a player who was ranked 134th 12 months ago.
But, although Keothavong is now content with the support provided to her by the LTA, she has criticised the sport's governing body in Britain for hampering her progress earlier in her career.
The Londoner, who turned professional in 2001, said she was now reaping the benefits of working with coaches she could trust.

Andy Murray Pictures

Murray prescribed, “His beginning was very fine and sound, striking the ball solid with his forehand and I was hitting it short. But after 3-0 in the first set I performed well until 5-1 (in the second) and then completely misplaced attentiveness, and finished up being in a battle at the end, which I didn’t essentially need.

He further said, “I was much gladder with the means I punch the ball today compared to my first match, bar the first and last three games.”

Somewhere else, sixth seed Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina facilitated past Janko Tipsarevic 6-4 6-1, and 11th seed David Ferrer of Spain defeat Croatia’s Marin Cilic 3-6 6-3 6-4.

On the other hand In the women’s draw, 13th seed Caroline Wozniacki defeat fourth seed Elena Dementieva 7-5 6-4 to participate in a quarter-final against eighth seed Svetlana Kuznetsova, who beat fellow Russian Alisa Kleybanova 6-2 6-1. Samantha Stosur carried out her win over second seed Dinara Safina by thrashing Amelie Mauresmo 6-4 6-4, and the Australian now face 11th seed Victoria Azarenka , who crushed Agnes Szavay 6-2 6-4.

Andre Agassi Top Tennis Star

NEW YORK - When Todd Martin announced his retirement from tennis on Monday night after losing his first-round match to Frenchman Fabrice Santoro in four sets, Andre Agassi became the last graybeard on the men’s circuit. Older players such as Pete Sampras, Jim Courier, Michael Chang, David Wheaton and now Martin have stepped aside.

Can Agassi carry the mantle himself by winning his ninth career Grand Slam at the U.S. Open? Frankly, I don’t think so. Why? Age has caught up with him.

That said, I think we must admit that this has been a very puzzling year for Agassi in that he never knows whether he is going to play well or not. Agassi once slumped during the 1997 season, when he plummeted out of the top 100.
