12 June 2009 4:10 AM, PDT | From PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news

In her desire for a "lively, fun and interesting show," Joy Behar hopes her just-announced primetime Hln cable program this fall will attract the likes of "George Clooney and John McCain," the View cohost tells People.

Jamie Foxx Busts Out Impressions Of Ray Charles, Obama At Apollo Theater Gala

9 June 2009 1:05 PM, PDT | From MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news

By Rya Backer

The 75th Anniversary Gala for the Apollo Theater in New York brought together Mariah Carey, Jamie Foxx, Steve Harvey, Fantasia Barrino, Bill Cosby, Quincy Jones and — perhaps most notably — Prince, who appeared on stage to help induct a handful of legendary divas into the Apollo Legends Hall of Fame.

There’s even more than meets the eye in this particular ensemble, so let’s take a look at the various components:

» The Shirt: What goes better with gold? Even more gold. The sleeves and buttons are trimmed with a shiny-looking gold lamé, which give the garment an even more blinding finish. Normally famous folk wear loose-fitting clothes to mask weight gain, but
