...promoting Glitter, her vanity movie and album, she did a woozy striptease on MTV, posted a series of bizarre ramblings on her website and even flirted with Eminem. After she was hospitalized for exhaustion and Glitter flopped in a Waterworld-meets--Chris Gaines kind of way, Carey's record label paid her $28 million not to record with it again. This is pretty humiliating stuff, and Charmbracelet is not above begging for sympathy. Carey opens with Through the Rain, a somber ballad that reduces her formidable voice to a tentative little quaver. "I can make it through the rain...
When Stella McCartney quit Chloé in the spring of 2001, the fashion world wondered how the label would cope with the loss of her celebrity. A good deal of her personal fame - she's Beatle Paul's daughter, hangs out with people like Madonna and is a high-profile antifur campaigner - had rubbed off on the French fashion house. Her successor and friend, Phoebe Philo, was regarded as a talented designer, but she was not exactly a household name.

...label's 50th anniversary, Chloé's CEO Ralph Toledano insists he has no reason to regret parting with McCartney: "Celebrity is a marketing vehicle that appeared some years ago, and it will go as it came."

Chloé's new London store shows how much the company is enjoying that freedom. The lower ground floor is given over to Philo's new collection of leather shoes. The bags upstairs are already selling well. A new bracelet bag that slides over the wrist is priced between around $550 and $1,000, but that didn't stop 28 of them being sold in the first two days. The new store - a mix of marble and plywood...
When he named North Korea as a member of his infamous "axis of evil," U.S. President George W. Bush could not have anticipated just how far the Stalinist state would go to earn the label. While Bush's foreign policy team tries to stay focused on stripping Iraq of any weapons of mass destruction it may possess, the North's leader Kim Jong Il seems bent on demonstrating that his own regime is just as menacing. At least Saddam Hussein claims to harbor no biological, chemical or nuclear arms. Kim freely admits to developing nuclear weapons in violation of international...
