...addition to showing his glamourous work, the designer has virtually put the city of Rome on display. Following the exhibit, a dinner for 900 was held in the Temple of Venus, in front of the Colosseum. The famous Roman set designer, Dante Ferretti, created a breathtaking colonnade of columns lit from within. And on Saturday, Valentino will show his haute couture collection in the Baglivi and Incisa halls of the Monumental Complex of the Santo Spirito in Sassia, the oldest charitable institution of Rome, followed by a gala dinner in the Villa Borghese gardens.

Says Caterina Calderoni, a Milan music teacher who'd campaigned on Summers' behalf since 1998: "America is still a young society, and some values...
...There, guys with online handles like "sebastian_for_u" are surprised by reporter Chris Hansen, who grills and humiliates them before handing them over to cops. "Predator" is ratings gold, a jaw-dropping combination of public service and blood sport that lets viewers indulge their voyeurism righteously--like the Colosseum, if the lions were allowed to eat only the really, really evil Christians...
