...chairs in the Design Museum show, including Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona chair, designs by Charles and Ray Eames, and Philippe Starck's pale green barstool made for German film director Wim Wenders' house.

Perhaps it was a pact with the devil or just impossibly advantageous genes, but MICHELLE PFEIFFER adamantly asserts that her enviable appearance owes nothing to plastic surgery. The clarification came after a comment made by PATRICIA HEATON, who happily cops to her own touch-ups.
