Barbara Walters’ annual 10 Most Fascinating People special is set to debut Thursday on ABC. The list usually includes the year’s most famous and outstanding in entertainment, sports, politics and pop culture.
So far, it’s not known who’s got the first spot, with Walters laughing she “would be the last one to tell you” till her show reveals it all tomorrow night. Last year’s # 1 was Harry Potter’s author JK Rowling.
Appearance of the first lady of the US is highly important. I loved the article on the shoes of potential White House women and here I post my favorable one - Michelle. To read about Cindy McCain’s and Sarah Palin’s shoe choice visit www.trendyshoeshop.com
“On the Democratic side, many observers have compared aspiring First Lady Michelle Obama to style icon Jackie Onassis. JFK’s wife will always be remembered for the intelligent poise and elegance with which she handled being First Lady. She’ll always be remembered as the quintessential First Lady of Class.”
Michelle Obama stands at a formidable 5′11″ but in addition to her ballet flats, she still loves to wear stilettos and sling back kitten heels. Fashion Today has seen her on BCBG Girl’s Shoes. According to “America’s Shoe Expert” and Host of HSN’s Shoe Therapy, Meghan Cleary, “Michelle Obama has a hint of Midwestern sensibility, coordinating her accessories and her clothes.” “Michelle Obama knows fashion but she wears it in a practical way — just look at the hidden wedge on her ballet flats or the patent leather riding boots she wore in Iowa early this year. She’ll alternate between flats and stilettos. “She’s also cognizant of the occasion. And, she likes shiny and metallic.” Cleary says.”
On her recent October 27 appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Michelle admitted to purchasing lots of her outfits online because its so convenient and shopping at J. Crew. In a July interview by Maria Menounos recorded for Access Hollywood with the Obama family, Michelle Obama discussed shopping on a budget and finding fashion bargains. She said that she usually shops at The Gap for herself and her daughters.”
Salon News also lists Jimmy Choo Killer Boots and Cole Haan Air Camille Ballet flats among her choices of footwear. Michelle Obama prefers a classic style with an occasional edgy accent. She has an old soul, but there is definitely vigor, casual comfort and vivacity hiding underneath it.”
Mrs Palin said that “maybe in eight years” she will be president.
Poor Sarah Palin thought she was talking to French President Nicolas Sarkozy, but instead it was a six-minute call with Marc-Antoine Audette, part of a comedy duo notorious for prank calls to celebrities and heads of state.
VP hopeful got punked on Saturday and the phone call wasn’t pretty.
Marc-Antoine Audette and Sebastien Trudel, known as the Masked Avengers, are the comedy duo from Montreal.
At one point during the six minute conversation, the fake Sarkozy says, “I just love killing those animals. Mmm, mmm, take away life, that is so fun.”
At one point the caller asked if Palin would take him on a hunting trip by helicopter, something he says he has never done, and then - in French - said they could also kill baby seals. To which Palin replied:
Well, I think we could have a lot of fun together while we’re getting work done. We can kill two birds with one stone that way.”
Now everyone knows you are dumb. C’est la vie, Sarah.
This is a gay version of Dumbledore. If you’re into celebrity gossip or you are a celebrity yourself, you know this bitch - Perez Hilton, Hollywood’s most hated gossip blogger!
Just before you take off to the Halloween party tonight here’s a reminder for you how celebrities dressed up back in 2007.
Here are the worst ones:
3Lauren Conrad sets sail last year and look really bad as her fat hangs down on the sides.
My eyes were doubling on Saturday when I saw Tina Fey personifying Governor Sarah Palin.
The two were wearing identical red outfits though they never spoke to each other, says People.
30 Rock star and frequent SNL host Alec Baldwin, addressed Palin as “Tina”:
You can’t let Tina go out there with that woman. She goes against everything we stand for . . . They call her, they call her – what’s that name they call her?”
“That’d be Caribou Barbie,” Palin answered.
Once Lorne introduced the candidate to Baldwin, he told her, “You are way hotter in person.”
Her reply:
Why thank you . . . and I must say, you’re brother Stephen is my favorite Baldwin brother.”
Tina said in the end:
The only poll I care about is the North Pole”
Later in the show, Palin bobbed her head to the music while Weekend Update host Amy Poehler performed a rap about the governor’s vice presidential campaign.
So pathetic. Why would Sarah Palin humiliate herself so much?
Sam and Lindsay to dress as Palins for Halloween! Can you imagine the hilarious two? They stole my idea, though there might be lots of us – Sarah Palins - out there on October 31st.
In the spirit of the election season, in keeping with the Halloween tradition of scaring people and to show that they will not go to war without a sense of humour, Samantha Ronson and Lindsay Lohan have decided to dress as Sarah Palin and her husband Todd for Halloween.
Here is instruction for you to turn into Sarah Palin for a night!
If you are an admirer, you could dress up as Sarah Palin because you respect her. If you dislike her, you could dress up in a Sarah Palin costume because you want an entire evening of making fun of her.
Whatever it is, this year it’s a hit - costume and there will be a huge competition! So do your best.
Step 1
Dress suit!
Even if you’re a guy don’t go for a pants suit. Dress suits are fantastic! In red colour preferably.
Step 2
Pantyhose!
Don’t go fishnet unless you want to be Naughty Ice-President Sarah.
Step 3
Heels!
Oh, these ones are the ugly ones, unfortunately Sarah doesn’t know what Christian Louboutin shoes are. If Republicans win I am to send her a pair.
Step 4
Classy make up!
Red lipstick, few eyelashes and… red lipstick.
Step 5
Smart Hair do!
Go with a classic bun chignon.
Step 6
Glasses!
Go with black frame.
Step 7
Accessories!
A fake rifle or a fake knife will give you the perfect finish! Some may go for a hockey stick, though it is dangerous, you can find it a use as Alaskan witch’s broomstick.
Now we finally have somebody to blame! According to The Washington Times poll, “Tina Fey effect” has turned Palin and McCain’s supporters off.
Presidential impersonators do influence elections, and in this one, Tina Fey is well on her way to ruining Sarah Palin’s political career. In a political culture that takes its cues from popular culture, a good impersonator may be worth a million votes,” political scientist Jerald Podair said.
As for Fey, she apparently doesn’t feel the pressure, at least she takes it easy, just as a real good comedian should.
Election time is always good for SNL and this is a bonkers election. She [Palin] is a fascinating person, she’s very likeable. She’s fun to play,” Ms. Fey said adding that she sincerely considers Vice President Candidate to be “a media star.”
Besides, Tina Fey’s impression is considered to be one of the top of the list of SNL history already, being named NBC.com’s most-watched viral video ever. Good job Ms. Fey!
And what does Sarah Palin, “the hockey mom” have to say about the buzz?
I love her [Tina Fey], she’s a hoot and she’s so talented. It would be fun to meet her, imitate her and keep on giving her new material.”
Never a day goes by without us reading something new about Sarah Palin. This time we hear Madonna threatening to “kick her ass” in an impromptu song during one of the recent shows on her US leg of the Sticky & Sweet tour.
“You know who could get off of my street? Sarah Palin, she can get off of my street, okay? She’s not going to D.C… I will kick her ass/Just get off of my street,” Madonna sang.
According to the reports, Madonna banned the Vice President candidate from coming to her concert in New Jersey on October 4. Well, she’s Madonna, she can do whatever she wants.
Check out her video down here.
Previously, Madonna showed her dislike of the Republican party, using the image of presidential candidate John McCain in a video segment alongside scenes of destruction, global warming and starving children.

Disagree with her, and she’ll blow your ass away
Sarah’s very fond of shooting moose
Bald eagles, puppies, and even a goose.
I loved the article by Judith Warner, the columnist from New York Times and couldn’t keep myself from posting it here on GlamourVanity. Here it is as the original.
Poor Sarah, by Judith Warner
I spent the past week in New York, helping my mother recover from surgery. It was a new role for me, taking care of my mom. It must, I think, have been somewhat destabilizing.
Perhaps when previously untapped wells of care-for-others are accessed, there’s no stopping the flow. Or perhaps it was just that, after five days locked in stare-downs with my mother’s cat, my eyes were playing tricks on me.
This may explain why, on Tuesday afternoon when I went to The Times Web site and saw the photo of Sarah Palin with Henry Kissinger, a funny thing happened. A wave of self-recognition and sympathy washed over me.
That’s right — self-recognition and sympathy. Rising up from a source deep in my subconscious. I saw a woman fully aware that she was out of her league, scared out of her wits, hanging on for dear life. I saw this in the sag of her back in her serious black suit, in the position of her hands, crossed modestly atop her knees, and in that “Mad Men”-era updo, ever unchanging, like a good luck charm.
Why, all of a sudden, was I experiencing this upsurge of concern and kinship? I knew, on the one hand, that this new vision of Palin had to be a mirage. Only a few hours earlier, I’d nodded along knowingly as a band of old-school liberals, gathered in my mother’s apartment to cheer her through her convalescence, tore the Alaska governor apart.
“He’s probably the first Jew she’s ever met,” one older gentleman, who himself had grown up as one of the only Jews in pre-World-War-II Lincoln, Neb., said of her meeting with Kissinger.
“No, there was Joe Lieberman,” his wife reminded him, putting me in a mind of the comedian Sara Benincasa’s utterly hilarious Palin parody, as a chorus of “despicable” and “disgusting” filled the room.
My friend Mary has long said that I have a tendency to develop a Stockholm-Syndrome-like empathy for the people I write about. But I don’t think that’s what was going on here.
I think — before I blinked — I had an actual flash of insight. I think I finally stumbled upon a major piece of the puzzle of how it is that so many Republican women can so passionately claim that Sarah Palin is someone they relate to. (It’s worth noting that polls have definitively shown that John McCain’s Palin gambit has not paid off in attracting disgruntled Democratic women voters.)
That the women who agree with Palin would also like her is not surprising. But the whole business of relating? That has remained mysterious for me. What, I’ve wondered, could the kinds of suburban moms I met, for example, at the McCain-Palin rally in Virginia, some of them former professionals with just two children apiece, one a former grad student making links between Palintology and the work of Homi Bhabha, have in common with a moose-killing Alaska frontierswoman with her five kids, five colleges and pastoral protection from witchcraft?
I think I’ve seen it now. In her own folded hands, her hopeful, yet sinking posture, her eager-to-please look. Sarah Palin is their — dare I say our? — inner Elle Woods.
I had thought of Elle Woods, the heroine of the 2001 and 2003 Legally Blonde and Legally Blonde 2 films, a great deal during the week that Palin became McCain’s running mate and made her appearance at the Republican National Convention. The thoughts didn’t actually originate with Palin; my daughter Julia had recently discovered the soundtrack of Legally Blonde: the Musical and then the movies that inspired the Broadway show.
Re-watching the movies with Julia, I’d been surprised at how time, and motherhood, had tempered my affection for Elle Woods — a frilly, frothy blonde who charms her way into Harvard Law School and takes the stodgy intellectual elitists there by storm with her Anygirl decency and non-snooty (and not-so-credible) native intelligence.
I’d found the Legally Blonde movies fun the first time around. Viewing them in the company of an enraptured 11-year-old, who’d declared Elle her new “role model” after months of dreaming of growing up to be a neuroscientist in a long braid and Birkenstocks, was another story.
“You can’t,” I’d admonished Julia, “accomplish anything worthwhile in life just by being pretty and cute and clever. You have to do the work.”
“It’s just fun, Mom,” she protested.
Right.
You don’t have to be perennially pretty in pink — and ditsy and cutesy and kinda maybe stupid — to have an inner Elle Woods. Many women do. I think of Elle every time I dress up my insecurities in a nice suit. So many of us today — balancing work and family, treading water financially — feel as if we’re in over our heads, getting by on appearances while quaking inside in anticipation of utter failure. Chick lit — think of Bridget Jones, always fumbling, never quite who she should be — and in particular the newer subgenre of mom lit are filled with this kind of sentiment.
You don’t have to be female to suffer from Impostor Syndrome either — I learned the phrase only recently from a male friend, who puts a darned good face forward. But I think that women today — and perhaps in particular those who once thought they could not only do it all but do it perfectly, with virtuosity — are unique in the extent to which they bond over their sense of imposture.
I saw this feeling in Palin — in a flash, on that blue couch, catty-corner to Kissinger, as her eyes pleaded for clemency from the camera. I’ll bet you anything that her admirers — the ones whose hearts really and truly swell with a sense of kinship to her — see or sense it in her, too. They know she can’t possibly do it all — the kids, the special-needs baby, the big job, the big conversations with foreign leaders. And neither could they.
The Legally Blonde fairy tales spin around the idea that, because Elle believes in herself, she can do anything. Never mind the steps that she skips. Never mind the fact that — in the rarefied realms of Harvard Law and Washington policymaking — she isn’t the intellectual equal of her peers. Self-confidence conquers all! (“Of course she doesn’t have that,” said Laura Bush of Palin this week when asked if the vice presidential pick had sufficient foreign policy experience. “You know, that’s not been her role. But I think she is a very quick study.”)
Real life is different, of course, from Hollywood fantasy. Incompetence has consequences, political and personal. Glorifying or glamorizing the sense of just not being up to the tasks of life has consequences, too. It means that any woman who exudes competence will necessarily be excluded from the circle of sisterhood. We can’t afford any more of that.
Frankly, I’ve come to think, post-Kissinger, post-Katie-Couric, that Palin’s nomination isn’t just an insult to the women (and men) of America. It’s an act of cruelty toward her as well.
Hugh Hefner wants Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin to pose naked in Playboy magazine - if her White House campaign fails. Hef is convinced the mag will fly off the shelves if she agreed, and I couldn’t agree more! The 44-year-old Alaska Governor is a former beauty queen who actually has a huge male following.
Palin would make a great centerfold. I don’t know what it is, but there’s something about a really sexy-looking woman wearing glasses. Imagine what she’s like when those glasses come off. It would be a new definition of the word vice in vice president.”
Chances are Sarah’s never gonna strip for Hef, but that was a nice try.
Kate is 34 and looks as twice as hot as her young colleagues Daria Werbowy and Lara Stone. Together these three hot models do a photo shoot for W magazine. It is a total summer boom with the slogan 'School's out and the livin' is easy!'
After giving birth to twins this February J Lo seems to work a lot on her post pregnant body as during the pregnancy she gained as twice as she usually weighs. At a luxurious boat Lopez stripped down to two pieces bikini to reveal her new figure.
Summer is taking over celebs' bodies and minds. Juliette actress enjoys sun, sand and ocean with her boyfriend Hugh Dancy in the bay of Naples. The trendy couple was guests at the Gucci 2009 Resort Collection, held at the Villa Aurelia in Rome, Italy
Abbey Clancy is Britain's hottie covering the October issue of FHM, one of the best selling men's magazine. This babe is rude and naughty, but at the same time she is a young lady who likes girly underwear. See exclusive photos of this catwalk model.
If EU individual parliaments do like the idea of banning sexy ads, it might be that lots of models won't be able to do their job as faces of underwear ad campaigns. So no more seductive Wonderbra, no Victoria Secrets Angels, no more Beckham for Armani?
Jean-Paul Gaultier's ornate bodice "cages" and skirts were literally sculpted from thick sausages of silk satin, looped and twirled like cornelli lace. The fresh fridge idea is impressive bright underline looks like sprayed right on the forehead.

This week Cosmopolitan’s sex position of the day is “The Stand and Deliver”. It gives instructions as for how to have a quickie. It’s cute, but so for like total idiots who don’t know how to follow their basic instincts…
Did you ever provoke a fight with your guy? You love getting on his nerves because that makes him so obscure and funny – “cute” so we say. No, you’re not sadistic. Just the fact that after the make up, it feels so sweet to be the conqueror- to have the feeling of power! To feel the situation is under your control - to cause a fight and then to stop it. Isn’t it just so dramatically sweet to push the edges once in a while?
I love pushing his triggers. Some may think I’m an evil witch, but I’m simply making our relationship tempered, exciting, resolute, pert.
If you intentionally get into a fight with him – you are not sick in a head (and no, you’re not just a bitch). Scientists say that a healthy relationship is a relationship where there are arguments, and any argument needs a solution, right? That takes out our negative energy and brings us closer. read more
Once upon a time there was a little girl who was just like a real princess, but no one knew that she was a princess. She grew up and became a very successful model. She lived up on the Manhattan tower and had almost a prince like boyfriend. One day she got tired of others not seeing that princess inside her. Ruslana Korshunova killed herself. She jumped off that high evil tower.

No matter how obvious it sounds most of the rules have been created long before us. By rules I mean systematized experience of previous generations, like handshakes and etiquette, and things like going for a social smoke. There is a rule that ladies go in first into any door except the elevator.
But rules are a need for the sense of stability around one. Society needs rules to forecast the effect of a cause, to have at least some confidence of the future. And this is what disappoints people. This is when they lose their confidence because things appear not the way they expected them to be. Those who were really dependent on expectations suffer from facing the world that is unpredictable, that the rules they believed in didn’t work at some turning point.
So they say that only fools learn through their own mistakes. Don’t you remember your mom telling you not to stick your tong out and put it against the metallic balcony railing when it’s freezing cold outside? Why did I skip my SPSS class with that macho from senior class? All of my friends were telling me he was a player and had nothing else in his head except for getting laid. Why do we learn things only after we go through them? This is what humans are like. read more
What do you call it when you feel something against your will? When the call of that something inside you starts ripping your self - esteem in pieces while your consciousness tells you to stop.
I never had it when I was a child.
I always felt what I wanted and I always wanted that what I felt.
Being used to getting what I want I am stuck. Stuck in the position like being lost in the desert. There’s nowhere to go. I can’t deny what I feel but I also can’t afford to feel it. It’s against my beliefs and values. Hum… fuck the beliefs. I don’t care.
No more. The human mind is such control-freak. It kills me. And if I continue it will sound like a confession to you and this is the least I want to do. read more
Inspired by “fuck” conversation last Saturday, which is a very delicate subject.
All of us, living in a fast growing temper of big cities are busy. We go to work, go to college full time, or have kids to take care of. There are plenty of things to do. When crazy week days are over we have yoga or tango classes, and shopping to do aside the chorus, french classes and getting a good sleep.
When is there time for sex?
The right answer would be - there is always time for sex. But the stress and busyness lead some couples to pencil their intimacy. It is logical, simple and hot to know that your schedule after works has a mark “Ryan 8 pm”.
It is exciting to feel the anticipation, but on the other hand do we feel it is comfortable to set up our special moments with an important person for us on a basis of a scheduled task? It seems awkward to plan it, it is out of style, especially for femme-fatale like me, but even when sex is spontaneous, in every woman's head it is always planned. (wink!) read more
I got sms from a friend of mine which said “I heard you were robbed last night and the robber gave you two choices: you either had to give him your phone or suck his dick… I see you still got your phone…”
I thought that was stupid but hilarious and sent it to another friend of mine. He didn’t reply and I totally forgot about it. Well, I had to call him up for some business this morning and as he answered the phone he told me he was robbed last night. read more
I remember one rainy morning when I was sitting on the backseat of my Mercedes. My driver picked me up earlier than the usual. I wasn’t mad at him, no. I thought it was great so I could get to the office earlier than the usual. But when I got into the car I asked him if we could drive around for a bit. I like rain. I wanted to go to the park and have a cup of espresso at the patio outside the café on the bridge.
I asked him to wait for me and he walked me carrying the umbrella. I hate it cause when he does it he always sings “Under my umbrella, ella-ella-ella…” Rihanna’s song, you know. It’s cute but he makes me smile and I don’t like that. He’s my driver. That’s it. He’s supposed to take me where I want, not make me smile. read more
Preface: My last article made few men, whom I asked to read it, say it was bitchy to compare them with dogs, so this time I decided to distinguish women into a few different groups. I got the idea from a friend of mine who I think is more or less an expert in women. Sorry girls if you will find yourself offended when realizing this is who you can be sometimes.
Woman has always been a mystery to men. It is difficult to predict the way she will act in a certain situation. Whether she will through a scandal and tell all the girls, or will she keep it low. May be it will clear few things up and will surely make you smile. read more
Men - hunting is a very special elite kind of sport among women. Even golf and horse riding lose their pathos and sophistication next to it. In this hunt there are three simple elements: “v” – victim, “w” – woman and the most important one – “d” – desire.
This kind of activity keeps you in a good shape and helps you stay in a positive frame of mind for many years. But being a real Venus and Artemis at the same time is hard work.
Factors, such as weak self - restrain and lack of knowledge of the way to handle the male kind may become more complex when completing the mission. But nevertheless, it is time to start the season. read more
