| Lady Gaga gets TV Thanksgiving night special Posted: 05 Nov 2011 02:39 AM PDT  US singer Lady Gaga smiles during a news conference in New Delhi. — Reuters pic Lady Gaga is coming for Thanksgiving, via a 90-minute, prime time television special on ABC on November 24 which she will direct herself, the network said today. "A Very Gaga Thanksgiving" will feature Gaga performing eight songs for friends and family, as well an interview with Katie Couric. Performances will include a duet of "The Lady is a Tramp" with Tony Bennett, as well as her newest single, "Marry the Night." And what holiday special would be complete without "White Christmas"? "We all know Lady Gaga is a phenomenon," said Couric. "This is a chance to see more of who she is beneath the wild costumes and staged musical numbers," hinting that the singer known for her over-the-top theatricality might eschew outfits like the famous meat dress she wore at the Video Music Awards. Celebrity chef Art Smith will stop by to help Gaga, 25, prepare a Thanksgiving feast of deep-fried turkey and waffles for her guests, ABC said. The pop music phenomenon will also open up about her relationships with family and friends, share stories from her past and reflect on what her life is like now living in the white hot spotlight of fame, ABC said. — Reuters Full content generated by Get Full RSS. |
| Tom Ford ‘thrilled’ to reprise Bond styling Posted: 05 Nov 2011 02:31 AM PDT  (Left-Right) French actress Berenice Marlohe, British actor Daniel Craig and British actress Naomie Harris pose at a photocall of the 23rd film in the James Bond series; in central London. — AFP pic It was revealed November 3 that the designer will be reprising his styling duties for the spy thriller, which is currently being filmed and stars the British actor along with new Bond girls Bérénice Marlohe and Naomie Harris. Designer-and-director Tom, who helmed 2009 drama A Single Man, dressed current 007 Craig in Skyfall's 2008 predecessor Quantum of Solace. He thinks the fictional spy perfectly encompasses his eponymous label's sleek aesthetic. "I couldn't be happier to be dressing Daniel Craig again," explained the designer in an announcement of the collaboration. "James Bond epitomises the Tom Ford man in his elegance, style and love of luxury. I am thrilled to move forward with this iconic character." Daniel's Bond attire will be handmade in Italy and will include the mandatory tailored suits as well as suave accessories and Tom Ford eyewear. Tom isn't the first designer to offer his services to a movie costume department. Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld was the natural choice for costume supervision during the making of 2009 Coco Chanel biopic Coco avant Chanel. Highlights included a specially made remake of Coco's iconic monochrome suit for leading lady Audrey Tautou. Meanwhile, siblings Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte got caught in a heated debate back in January after collaborating on a series of costumes for last year's ballet thriller Black Swan. Costume designer Amy Westcott was given credit come awards season, after Kate and Laura had reportedly not negotiated credits in their initial contract. — AFP-Relaxnews Full content generated by Get Full RSS. |
