...there was one surprise at last night's Saggies (or whatever they're called - actually, the Actor, and blechh to that uninspired nickname). It was that the indie comedy Little Miss Sunshine won the Best Ensemble award, beating Babel, Bobby, The Departed and Dreamgirls.

Fashion insiders had been numbering Pressler's days for months. And sure enough, after nearly two years of limping sales and yet another holiday season in which the Gap's big idea (more hoodies?) drew yawns from shoppers, Pressler agreed a few days later to step down...
...upon arrival, a burden that he was prevented from throwing off by an inability to stay healthy or display the inside dominance his physical size and skill-set demanded. Continued difficulty adding weight has likely led to some of Cusworth’s injury history—he completely missed his sophomore campaign with a stress fracture in his foot and sat out parts of the last two seasons due to various setbacks, including a broken hand. And his weight trouble was also a factor in his inability to fully capitalize upon height and interior presence to dominate smaller...
