...part of deal PINK FLOYD '70s rockers say pressing new CD will damage environment so they'll plant a forest. We've thought of another solution: no new CD Losers MICHAEL JACKSON Stores cancel 50% of orders for Jacko's $30 million album Invincible. Rejected titles: Indigestible, Unrecognizable, Inflammable MANOLO BLAHNIK Shoe designer pulls dangerous titanium stiletto heels from latest collection. He wasn't fooled by 19 orders from a mysterious Alberto "Al" Qaeda DANIEL RADCLIFFE Twelve-year-old Harry Potter star is redubbed after voice broke mid-film. The director felt the new beard and chest hair worked...
...understand that aspects of this city are status-conscious and Manolo Blahnik-obsessed. And I don’t begrudge the HBO tycoons their right to make money off of it. Nor do I begrudge Sarah Jessica Parker and Co. the right to discuss the intersection of relationships and partial lobotomies (in the latest episode, she decides they could go together like “chocolate and peanut butter”).

But I always turn away, sighing as I acknowledge the hopelessness of it all. Even if I ever managed to overcome my puritanical dismay at the idea of handing over half a month's rent for a pair of shoes, countless horror stories have convinced me that the signature Blahnik stiletto would cripple me within moments...
...amazing what some women will talk about with each other, even if they're barely acquainted. Some are as excited about discussing their sex life--or someone else's--as they are about letting you know where they found a pair of Manolo Blahnik shoes for 50% off. But they will rarely reveal how they cut their credit-card debt, chose the mutual funds in their 401(k) or put a budget together after their divorce. Discussions about money and investing are "too personal," or at least they used...
