By Lee Speigel - AOL NewsElegant lingerie, luggage and handbags once owned by Wallis Simpson -- the American socialite whose affair with Great Britain's King Edward VIII resulted in his abdication -- will be auctioned for charity in London, the BBC reports. Some of the items set for the March 17 sale by Kerry Taylor Auctioneers include a 1964 Christian Dior black crocodile handbag and a scarlet chiffon nightdress. ...
Opinion: The Insanity of MTV's 'Skins'
By Rabbi Shmuley Boteach - AOL NewsThe media called me to ask my opinion on MTV's "Skins." I told them I had not watched it but read all about it. My take? Simple: irresponsible and exploitative on the part of MTV. Man, what are we coming to when even 15-year-olds are sexualized on TV and actors who can't drive a car or buy a beer are filmed in sexual situations for national consumption? Just look at the evolution, or should I say devolution, of sexual exploitation in the culture. First, Madonna sexualized herself and erased the line between music and soft porn when she was in her 20s. Then Britney Spears did it at 19. Miley ...
Feminists Declare Unibrow Unity in 'Decembrow'
By David Moye - AOL News
(Dec. 9) -- Things are getting hairy in women's facial fashion -- but it's all in the name of charity. That's because this month has been declared "Decembrow" by the feminist-oriented website Feministing, and women are encouraged to grow out their eyebrows to the point where they connect in the middle. Much in the same way that men grow mustaches in "Movember" to raise money and awareness for prostate cancer, Decembrow participants are asked to get pledges and donations for their own pet causes while growing brows that would make hirsute Mexican painter Frida Kahlo proud. Getty ...
Like Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin, Lady Gaga Pushes Social Activism Buttons
By Suzi Parker - Politics Daily"Did I miss the Lady Gaga boat?" That's what a 40-something friend recently asked me. He had never seen a Lady Gaga video, didn't know what all the fuss was about, and felt, well, old. Lady Gaga became a phenomenon when Generation X wasn't looking. Suddenly, it's Gaga 24/7. Everywhere. Parents may think their kids have returned to infancy with all the babbling about this music goddess. Some worship her on social media sites they've created (the International Church of Lady Gaga, for one). Some want to live with her. They want her to be president. They stutter and stammer before ...

Saturday Night Shimmy: Mae West and Sophie Tucker Return to Broadway
By Marc Hartzman - AOL News(Aug. 13) -- On Dec. 28, 1919, vaudeville up-and-comer Mae West and risque headliner Sophie Tucker appeared on the same New York City stage for the first time. This Saturday, Aug. 14, the two Broadway broads will do it again. Well, sort of. This time they'll be at the historic Actors' Temple celebrating "Mae West's Birthday Bash" (she'll be 117). West, known as the "Empress of Sex," and Tucker, "The Last of the Red Hot Mamas," will be portrayed by cabaret performers Anne Marie Finnie and Maggie Worsdale, respectively. thegaudygirls.com Cabaret stars Anne Marie Finnie, left, and Maggie ...
Not Going Gaga Over Celebrities at Sports Events
By David Whitley - AOL NewsFirst, we had to endure two weeks of Lakers/Hollywood Glitz. Then Lady Gaga showed up at a Yankees game wearing a jersey and not much else. Now the Queen is crashing the Wimbledon scene. On behalf of a star-weary sports nation, it's time to ban celebrities from showing up at games. If not an outright ban, how about a 60-day moratorium? By then we'll be into football season, where there are no courtside or box seats and the biggest viewing nuisance is Jerry Jones high-fiving Tony Romo's latest squeeze. I'm not necessarily against women in black lingerie. I just want to gag when I see Gaga ...
Tribute Bands Rocking Up Sales on iTunes
By David Moye - AOL News(June 22) -- Tribute bands used to be like Rodney Dangerfield: They didn't get any respect. They could spend hours perfecting the music and the moves of their chosen act and, even if they succeeded, the best they could hope for was a regular gig at the local Indian casino. Being in a tribute band is a unique calling -- and one that gets you called out by your fellow musicians, according to Sam Morrison, who performs original music but makes most of his income from a show called Turn the Page: A Bob Seger Tribute. Cyndi Morrison When musicians like the Beatles and Bob Seger refuse to make ...
Sandra Bullock and Scarlett Johansson on MTV: the Perfect Kiss?
By Luisita Lopez Torregrosa - Politics DailyHottie Sandra Bullock, famously betrayed by creepy husband, made her first nationally televised public appearance on Sunday night by planting a body-hugging kiss on Scarlett Johansson. Bullock was receiving the MTV Generation Award to a standing ovation after she was introduced by the rake-of-the-moment, Bradley Cooper, and everyone's second-most-beloved star, Betty White, who is 88. In a girlie green dress, Scarlett Johansson stood awkwardly at their side. Bullock asked, "This is so weird . . . Scarlett, I really love you and all, but this is just uncomfortable. Why are you here?" Johansson, ...
Madonna School Leaves Malawi Villagers Ousted
By Terence Neilan - AOL News(Feb. 13) -- Even the best of intentions can't please everyone every time. Ask some of the villagers in Malawi who have been told they must leave their land to make way for Madonna's project to erect a school there, and that becomes abundantly clear. Back in October the megastar cut a ribbon and planted a tree at a groundbreaking ceremony for her Raising Malawi Academy for Girls, which she hopes will give underprivileged children the same kind of opportunities she had growing up in Michigan. Madonna has pumped millions into the desperately poor southern African country and adopted two of its ...
