Jan 27, 2010 @ 10:00 am

The singer has made no secret of her favor for Chanel, wearing a black suit from the designer for her interview with Barbara Walters, and expressing worries that Mr. Lagerfeld might not dig her style: “Then I’d be upset.

Julia Roberts has one man to thank for superstar career—her Pretty Women director Garry Marshall. “He’s one of my favorite people in the world—he took a chance on me when it wasn’t the easiest decision to make,” the actress told WWD.

Justin Timberlake Is Honorary Harvard Man

Jan 26, 2010 @ 1:00 pm

After a Hope for Haiti Now telethon performance and an appearance at the SAG Awards, busy Justin Timberlake has just received Man of the Year honors from Harvard’s Hasty Pudding Theatricals. The 205-year-old drama collective will debut their latest all-male cabaret show, Commie Dearest, on February 5th, following a roast during which Timberlake will be bedecked in a wig and a bra. Shouldn’t be a stretch—after his “Single Ladies” sketch on SNL, we all know JT can handle a pair of heels.
