...Neither outfit is running up the score. Nike's übercool jock culture, led by its monklike chairman, Phil Knight, just spit out another CEO, William Perez, who lasted only 13 months. Net income rose 21%, to $1.4 billion, for the full year ending Feb. 28, but Nike's stock has slipped 5.3% in 2006. Adidas, which nearly imploded in the 1990s, is working through another restructuring. The company last year spun out its ill-fitting Salomon ski business and bought Reebok, the perennial No. 3 brand. Adidas profits rose 25%, to $537 million, over the past year...
Nelly ft. Paul Wall, Ali & Gipp “Grillz” Dir. Fat Cats I always suspected that Paul Wall is actually Santa Claus sans beard and outfit. I don’t have any proof.

"The price of oil is a transfer of wealth from the consumers to the producers," says Brian Gambill, senior...
Raconteurs “Steady, As She Goes” Dir. Jim Jarmusch Have pity on poor Meg White. It looks like her ex-husband, and now ex-bandmate, Jack White has ditched their blues revivalist outfit The White Stripes to form the garage rock quartet The Raconteurs with some of his buddies. The Raconteurs’ first single, “Steady, As She Goes,” is a bluesy romp with an infectious bass line, boozy guitar heroics, and—sorry Meg—crackling percussion. Jack White’s wailing vocals soar above...
...BELT PREVAILS IN YOUR ACCESSORIES COLLECTION. WHAT WAS YOUR INSPIRATION? If you've got a waist, flaunt it. It gives the body a focus and creates proportion. I'm looking at accessories as important pieces. They carry an outfit, so they need to have their own life and character to reflect today's women's needs. We have it all in our accessories line?everyday pieces reflected by their price, as well as more sophisticated evening pieces...
