Allen's sharpest film in a decade (granted, a pretty weak decade) amasses all the fixings of a sexy thriller: a sly young man on the make, a femme fatale worth killing for, an inconvenient pregnancy, a secret diary. By relocating his milieu to England, Allen has an ideal setting for class animosity and intrigue in the lightly lethal spirit of Kind Hearts and Coronets. There's sultry chemistry between the leads: Rhys-Meyers, who has the pouty sensuality of a Jude Law left out to spoil, and Johansson, with the humid allure of a classic noir blond. When they...

Unlike more radical environmental groups, which refuse to negotiate with companies they view as evil, Forest Ethics has tried to introduce Victoria's Secret to green-friendly suppliers...
...executive producer, host and Victoria's Secret model Klum, on the phone from a photo shoot in Germany ("I was just sitting in a bathtub full of candy!"), says it was hard to convince fashion pros that the show would take the subject seriously. One of those who did was Tim Gunn, chair of the fashion-design department at New York City's Parsons School of Design and the cast's blunt, professorial mentor. "When they called," he says, "I thought, How are you going to cheapen this industry? We have enough problems without this." Instead, the show-co-produced...
