NEW YORK, NY.- Out documents an era at once so close and so far away: the wild, glamorous, disco-and-drugs decade between the end of the Vietnam war and the advent of AIDS, when, in certain parts of Manhattan, every night was party night. As the editor of Andy Warhol's Interview from 1971 to 1983, Bob Colacello was perfectly placed to record this life of art openings, movie premieres, cocktail parties,...
What could be better than pretty girls taking their clothes off for a good cause (as if just the naked part wasn't good enough)? Not much, and luckily for us, Cameron Russell, Crystal Renn, Olya Ivanisevic, Heidi Mount, and their beautiful brethren decided to put their assets to use, making this video to support 350.org in getting the word out about combating climate change. Don't worry if you get...
Adam Lambert's description of his new album, the cover design of which is getting a big reaction: Lyndsey Parker loves it: Now, I adore this cover's absolutely fabulous retro vibe. (It looks so much like a beauty shot snapped by Andy Warhol in some glitter-dusted private party room at Studio 54, I can almost imagine Bianca Jagger riding a white horse in the background; what's not to like?) Others are...
Photographer Christophe von Hohenberg revisited a seminal moment of the late '80s on Thursday during a signing and Q&A at Clic Gallery for his 2006 book, "Andy Warhol: The Day the Factory Died," that chronicled the artist's memorial back in 1987.

Not pictured: Princess Piglette. Robert Pattinson reports that his Twilight fame isn't helping his luck with the ladies, claiming, "It's just a job and while it's a job I love, girls scream out for Edward, not Robert. I still can't get a date." Meanwhile, he shared his and Kristen Stewart's Vancouver apartment with OK! magazine, chatting about how they cook, listen to the Rolling Stones,...
Global 350 THE ISSUE 350.org is an international campaign dedicated to creating an equitable global climate treaty that lowers carbon dioxide below 350 parts per million. 350 is the number that leading scientists say is the safe upper limit for carbon dioxide measured in parts per million (ppm) in our atmosphere. 350 ppm is the number humanity needs to get back below as soon as possible to avoid runaway...
Current mood: La Garçonne. It's all about the boys. Fantastic femmes like Sophia Coppola and Charlotte Gainsbourg do it best. But of course it was done first by the likes of Katherine Hepburn, Greta Garbo and Bianca Jagger. What you need - impeccably tailored jackets, slouchy pants, paired up with a micro-thin t-shirt. Nothing can be too polished. Whole look needs to be slightly undone. My inspiration...
How's this for meta: Variety reports that DreamWorks TV and Showtime are "in the early stages of developing a scripted series that will chronicle the development of an original Broadway musical, from its creative inception through its opening night." So it will be a TV show about putting together a fictional Broadway show that will then become a real Broadway show. Related posts: Quote of...

Flashback: May, 1977. Bianca Jagger, estranged Rolling Stones wife, Interview cover star and party girl par excellence takes to the floor of Studio 54 like a disco Lady Godiva atop a white steed. But unlike Godiva, Jagger is far from naked; instead she is draped in silk jersey, trussed with gold cord and glowing in the barrage of paparazzi flashbulbs. It's a heady cocktail of glamour, sex and celebrity...
