...press release Friday. Gore, through a spokesperson, declined to comment further. The event, which took place at the Carriage Hill in New York City, had an eco-friendly theme. The dinner, prepared by award-winning chefs Nischan, Peter Hoffman, and Nora Pouillon, featured locally and organically grown food. Meryl Streep, who is also a member of the Center’s board and presented Gore with the award at the ceremony, modeled clothes made from sustainable material. VIPs were driven to the ceremony in a gas and electric hybrid Toyota Prius, while goodie bags filled with environmentally-friendly products were...
This, apparently, is what all the really bad bosses are wearing these days. Filming began last weekend on the movie adaptation of The Devil Wears Prada, a roman à clef penned by a former assistant to Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour. In the movie, MERYL STREEP plays Miranda Priestly, the temperamental, overweening editor of a fictional fashion glossy called Runway--a character based loosely on Wintour.

Reilly (Companion's singing cowboys, Dusty and Lefty...
...early draft, Keillor sketched a fizzled romance between his character and Streep's, then later cut it. But when Streep arrived on the set, she said she had based her whole character on the earlier version. Fine--the romance was back in. Keillor planned to make Lohan's character a failed songwriter on the fringes of the show. But before shooting began, he read a newspaper interview in which Lohan said she was going to play Streep's daughter. "I thought, Well, sure. Of course. Gives it a new wrinkle," Keillor recalls. Enter Lohan the daughter...
