Elton John wades in to Rolling Stones 'penis' controversy

The issue of Keith Richards' comments about the size of Mick Jagger's penis is being stretched out longer and longer in the tabs.

Today (February 11) they've picked up on a quote from Elton John, who's inserted his opinion on the matter by saying he'd understand if The Rolling Stones singer was a bit miffed. "If I said that [songwriting partner] Bernie Taupin was a miserable cunt and had a small penis, he'd probably never talk to me again," he said (Rolling Stone).

New York Fashion Week arrives with...

...images of flowers, delicate pastels and intricately painted eggs come to mind when most people think of springtime. For the fashion minded, however, one event stands out: The New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter collections.

The semi-annual Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week takes place in New York City every February and September. Although the fashion weeks that are hosted in February events showcasing fall clothing lines aren't as big as the shows in September, the collections are no less magnificent.

While many great collections have drawn inspiration from the past, the fashion industry key's to success remains evolution. Moving forward is the driving force behind designs. The Fall/Winter 2010 collections varied as much as the designers' personal styles.

During last year's New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter, which ran from Feb. 11-18, 2010, the iconic Ralph Lauren showed Sherpa-lined jackets with crocheted knit sweaters. A more dainty, autumn-appropriate floral was modeled in full skirt and maxi dress form. Staying true to fall's neutral color scheme, the collection was full of blacks, burgundies, grays and muted greens. Hints of jewel tones and crushed velvet made a cameo appearance...read more on newsrecord.org http://tinyurl.com/4v4kclc

Armani Privé Spring 2011 Haute Couture Hair How-To

The beauty team at StyleList loved the sleek, wrapped hairstyle models donned at the Armani Privé Spring 2011 Haute Couture Show. So we were excited when hair master Oribe spilled the deets on this chic 'do.

"The Armani Privé look was all about sleek hair kept close to the head. This look is easily transferred to a fresh new style after a good night's sleep," says Oribe. "When you wake up in the morning, take your hair down, brush the hair and use the blow-dry it touch up any sections that need to be smoothed or tamed. The result: straight, sleek, beautiful hair without the effort of a blowout."

Read on for Oribe's step-by-step instructions to recreate this hairstyle at home:

1. Make a center part to divide the hair into two sections.

2. Secure hair at the temple area on both sides -– almost like you're gathering pigtails and spray Oribe Imperméable Anti-Humidity Spray lightly throughout to keep the hair smooth.

With this wrap, you need to sweep hair from the left section over to the right side of the head, and vice versa. The hair will crisscross low in the back creating a turban shape.

3. Take the left section and wrap it around the back of the head, then sweep it up to the front, right-hand side. Pin the hair in front, and anywhere along the way where you need to control the hair and keep it close to the head. It's all about keeping the hair small and tight, and keeping it in a clean shape around the ear. As you go, you can use more Imperméable for streamlining.

4. Complete the same process with the right section of hair. Secure with more pins, and use Imperméable when needed.

5. After the wrap is complete, spray the hair well with Oribe Superfine Hair Spray for shine, polish and hold.

6. Once the hair spray is dry and the hold is sealed, you can remove some of the pins for a more finished look.

7. Top off the style with a hat or hairpiece, or just wear it alone.

"The key to this look is taking your time and keeping the hair smooth. It's a beautiful, interesting way of wrapping the hair and evenly distributing it across the whole head. It's okay to break the rules, as long as the end result is polished and even," explains Oribe. "The following morning, simply brush the hair and blow-dry it anywhere you need to smooth out or tame a section. You can get really sleek, smooth hair this way. Spray Dry Texturizing Spray at the roots if you have any slight oiliness, or use Imperméable to calm flyaways or stray hairs."

Michelle Obama in fashion confession

First lady Michelle Obama talked about food (healthy and junk), fashion, Sarah Palin and President Obama finally quitting smoking in a wide-ranging interview on Tuesday, pegged to the first anniversary today of her "Let's Move" anti-childhood obesity campaign.

Mrs. Obama lunched with 10 reporters -- all women, as it happens -- who cover her the most, including the Chicago Sun-Times. These sessions are rare, only the fourth time Mrs. Obama has met with her print press corps since becoming first lady.

She sat for an hour in the Old Family dining room kicking off a media blitz over a seared rack of lamb to mark the first year of "Let's Move," which is the biggest item on her policy agenda. Next month, Mrs. Obama will be launching a new initiative dealing with helping military families. She's not sure when she will jump on the 2012 Obama re-election campaign trail....

ON FASHION

Mrs. Obama wore a sleeveless Marc Jacobs dress to the lunch. American designer Oscar de la Renta criticized her for wearing a British gown to the China state dinner last month.

Mrs. Obama said she continues to work with Chicago clothier Ikram Goldman; there had been some reports to the contrary.

"I've always bought clothes from Ikram. And to the extent that -- I mean, it's really nothing has kind of changed. It's kind of interesting where these stories come from, that sort of thing. I didn't do anything different. I didn't," she said.

As for the fashion flap, she said: "This is my philosophy. I hope that women learn to wear what they love ... like to patronize American designers, and the vast majority of the clothes that I wear are. But there are a lot of other designers that have cute stuff, too."

IPad2 coming soon

Apple Inc. has started manufacturing a new version of its iPad tablet computer with a

built-in camera and faster processor, said people familiar with the matter.

The new iPad will be thinner and lighter than the first model, these people said. It will

have at least one camera on the front of the device for features like video-conferencing,

but the resolution of the display will be similar to the first iPad, these people said. It

will also have more memory and a more powerful graphics processor, they said.

Apple has started manufacturing a new version of its iPad tablet computer with a built-in camera and faster processor. WSJ's Yukari Kane joins Stacey Delo to discuss.

The new iPad will initially be available through

Verizon Wireless and AT&T Inc., but not Sprint

Nextel Corp. or T-Mobile USA in the U.S.,

according to some of the people familiar with the

matter.

A spokeswoman for Apple, Cupertino, Calif.,

declined to comment.

The production of the new iPad shows how Apple

is moving forward in the wake of Chief Executive

Steve Jobs's disclosure last month that he was

taking a medical leave for an unspecified ailment. The iPad, which debuted last April, has

opened a new market and is critical to Apple's

success.

Since the iPad's release, Apple has sold 14.8

million units of the device. In Apple's December

quarter, its most recent financial results, which

it reported last month, the tablet contributed

$4.6 billion in sales, or 17% of the company's

overall revenue.

The new iPad is expected by Apple watchers to

debut in the next couple of months at a similar

price range as the current iPad, though exact details couldn't be learned. It currently

costs between $499 and $829.
