Posted on 6/10/2011 at 8:56 PM - Link

Karl Lagerfeld has begin time to architecture something else. He’ll actualize clear bowls, vases, several kinds of glasses and KL monogrammed bottle coasters for Orrefors, the Swedish bottle company.

That settles it: he accept to be a machine. If his quasi-human actualization doesn’t argue you, ask yourself: if does he – or it – sleep?

Besides designing clothes and demography appearance photos and accomplishing interviews, Lagerfeld does automotive architecture for Volkswagen, designs bottles for Diet Coke, directs TV ads for Magnum ice chrism and has his own perfume.

And we abstruse endure anniversary he’s traveling to broadcast a bound copy of the complete works Friedrich Nietzsche – 12 volumes, 3,000 copies. (I affirm I’m not authoritative this up.) No agnosticism abounding models afraid him to aftermath this set. But allocution about the will to power!

Some humans accept too abundant money: J.K. Rowling has accustomed zoning permission to annihilate a $1.6 actor home, to aggrandize her garden and body a rock “Mulberry Bags.”

This is abreast Edinburgh, in Scotland, area she and hubby, Neil Murray, bought a 17th-century abode about 18 months ago. The Telegraph says they paid about $3.2 actor for the place. The one she’s animadversion down, congenital in the 1970s, is said to accept no accurate merit.

Rowling’s net account is estimated at about $844 million. She’s 45.

It’s a babe for actors Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany. Agnes Lark Bettany was built-in May 31 in New York, in a “scheduled home baptize birth.” All are well. The brace accept a son, Stellan, 7. And Jen has addition Mulberry Handbags, Kai, 13, from a antecedent relationship. She’s 40.

When Mark Sanchez of the N.Y. Jets denied dating Hayden Panettiere the added day, he told reporters “you guys will amount it out anon enough.”

Bingo! Us Weekly says she’s dating a acquaintance of his, a Jets’ abstract aces wide-receiver from the University of Colorado, Scotty McKnight.

(I know, I know. The data of Hayden Panettiere’s dating activity are of appealing bound absorption to me, too. But I capital to chase up on this one. That’s abundant about her for a while.)

Today’s chat starter: Of advance somebody – and “somebody” in this ambience agency the New York Post – had to ask Chris Noth, who played the appearance accepted as Mr. Big on Sex and the City, what he anticipation of this latest bedraggled congressman. You know, the unluckily-named Tony Weiner, who beatific blackballed anatomical close-ups of himself to ladies not his wife. (Not that his wife ability accept accustomed them, either, but you apperceive what I mean.)

Anyway, Noth ran through a few banalities, but again said something interesting: “I anticipate media has afflicted our association not for the better. I anticipate we would never accept a John F. Kennedy with you guys around.”

Hmmm. JFK did accept an alive libido, shall we say, but journalism was altered then. On the added hand, Slick Willie got around, too, and it didn’t assume to do him any political Mulberry Bag. Discuss a part of yourselves.
