Run-d.M.C. Member's Awesome McA Memory
9 May 2012 9:29 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
At last night's gala benefit for The Moth, a non-profit dedicated to the art of storytelling, Darryl "D.M.C." McDaniels shared a few memories of Adam "McA" Yauch with The Huffington Post.
In the early 80s, McDaniels' group, Run-d.M.C., and Yauch's group, the Beastie Boys, were label-mates on Def Jam Records -- and tag-team partners locked in combat with music's status quo. Today, both groups are safely ensconced in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, but it wasn't always obvious that they were destined for immortality.
"You know, it was early, so people thought Run Dmc's a fad, Beasties is a fad, you know, all of this is a fad," McDaniels said. "Run-d.M.C., we crossed over with the rock -- but then it was Run-d.M.C. and the Beastie Boys that took it to venues. We started playing Madison Square Garden, L.A. »

Padma Lakshmi Shaves Daughter Krishna's Head
3 May 2012 4:45 PM, PDT | E! Online - UK | See recent E! Online - UK news »
Padma Lakshmi already appears to be instilling a sense of tradition in daughter Krishna. The Top Chef host's 2-year-old is sporting an extremely close-cropped hairdo, apparently the result of the child's first haircut, or Mundana, the eighth of 16 Hindu sacraments. So, what does it mean? Shaving a child's head—traditionally sometime between the ages of 2 and 4—signifies the letting go of past burdens to allow the child to move cleanly into the future. Sure enough, Krishna Thea Lakshmi turned 2 on Feb. 20. (Lakshmi's rep had no comment regarding the photos of the star shopping with Krishna—named after one of the most venerated Hindu gods—in NYC's SoHo »

London, May 3: Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi stepped out for a party with her freshly shaved two-year-old daughter Krishna last Saturday.

Photos: Harvey Weinstein Feted By Stars, Billionaires, Republic Of France
1 May 2012 11:50 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
The only reason you wouldn't expect "Napoleon" and "Harvey Weinstein" to appear in the same sentence is that Harvey Weinstein isn't short. But last night, at the French Embassy in New York, the two fearsome names were yoked together not as a comment on aggression, but to induct Weinstein into the illustrious Legion D'Honneur, which was founded by the diminutive conqueror in 1802.
Weinstein expressed gratitude to his inspirations, mentors and collaborators in his acceptance speech; he had especially warm words for his 86-year-old mother, Miriam (partial namesake of Miramax Films) and director Quentin Tarantino. He also used the platform to commend France for its stringent anti-piracy legislation and to support anti-bullying legislation, before concluding the speech with an exhortation to "get drunk."
The guests at the Embassy party included New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson, 'Top Chef' host Padma Lakshmi and billionaire investors George Soros, Pete Peterson and Stephen Schwarzman. »

Harvey Weinstein's Success To Be Toasted At French Embassy Dinner
30 April 2012 12:06 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Movie mogul Harvey Weinstein will be the guest of honour at a special dinner on Monday, hosted by the French Ambassador to the U.S. to celebrate his Oscar success with The Artist.
The Hollywood producer, whose silent black-and-white film landed its French star Jean Dujardin, director Michel Hazanavicius and producer Thomas Langmann Academy Awards earlier this year, was feted with the Legion of Honour medal by French President Nicolas Sarkozy in March and now he will be recognised at a high-profile event at the French Embassy in New York.
Celebrities including Bette Midler, Frank Langella, model Petra Nemcova and TV chef Padma Lakshmi are all expected to attend the dinner, organised by French Ambassador Francois Delattre and cultural counselor Antonin Baudry, according to the New York Post's Page Six column.
A letter from Sarkozy to Weinstein will also be read out to the crowd. »
Fashion At The Tribeca Ball: Who Was Fab, Who Was Meh And Who Was Awful?
17 April 2012 4:55 AM, PDT | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »
We’d like to save the best for last, so we’re going to start with who didn’t hit the mark at last night’s Tribeca Ball in New York. The event was honoring Robert de Niro, Fyi, and was held at the New York Academy of Art. We’ll start with Solange Knowles on the left. Love the coral lips and print blouse, but not exactly loving those high-waisted, shiny trousers. Taking “shiny” to a whole new level is Carla Gugino, in the middle. She’s such a beautiful woman, but that bouffant hair is all wrong, especially when paired with that red, satin dress. We get she was trying to go retro, but couldn’t get it right. Then there’s Paz de la Huerta on the right. We don’t even know what to say, or where to begin. Just … No.
We’re moving on to the meh pile next, »
