...words Islam and couture aren't often used in the same sentence. But Turkish gown guru Rabia Yalçin is making her debut at New York's Fashion Week, alongside such industry heavyweights as Donna Karan and Nicole Miller, at a Feb. 9 fund raiser called Designers for Darfur. The Istanbul-based designer dresses modestly in public in accordance with Islamic tradition. And at first blush, her gowns seem similarly demure, but with the slip of a button, they become more than a little provocative, as shown at left. "In private, clothing should reflect a woman's sensuality," Yal?...
...your unwashed hipster dance gear out of the closet, fire up the barbecue, tell Dave Chappelle to go home, and prepare for the real Bloc Party. Nearly two years after their debut album “Silent Alarm,†Bloc Party released their sophomore effort Tuesday to the waiting arms of their ever-growing fan base of indie lovers and adventurous, dabbling mainstreamers.

The system gives advertisers more control over their ad campaigns, letting them freely change keywords or ad strategies to adapt to what's working. It also enables Yahoo! to highlight ads relevant to a user's search rather than ordering them simply according to who paid more. Because search advertising accounts for nearly 50% of Yahoo!'s revenue, Panama is critical to its growth...
Harry Potter has buff abs! Oh, and his acting career is maturing too. DANIEL RADCLIFFE, 17, everyone's favorite boy wizard, cast a different sort of spell when he posed for a series of risqué promotional photos for his stage debut, a revival of Equus, opening in London Feb. 16. The photos, the most chaste of which is shown here, were passed around the Internet like a quaffle around a Quidditch pitch. (Radcliffe's role as an unstable stable boy calls for him to be nude onstage.) He also guest-stars as a comically bad-with-girls version of himself...
