Shoe maestro Brian Atwood’s come-hither skyscraper heels in elaborate skins and blinding jewels are always the stars of the show. Nevertheless, at last night’s fete at the OpenHouse Gallery for the designer’s exclusive new book — Role Play Rene, featuring his candy-hued Spring 09 collection — his killer heels played their first supporting role. A seductive, barely clothed Rene Russo modeling the footwear line was the main attraction.

In October, as part of the Kaleidoscope exhibit at the Ingrao gallery in New York City, Law’s eye-catching homages to the female form made their American debut. Working with high-gloss paint on aluminum, Law creates loving renditions of the body, from the indentations on the small of one model’s back to the subtle roundness of another’s belly.

Everybody’s eager to please Rachel McAdams. But, frankly, the royal treatment that’s customary for budding starlets gives this Toronto-born actress the creeps. As she says, “The more that’s given to you, the less you have to come up with yourself. And that’s not productive.” As if on cue, there’s a knock at the door. It’s the hotel staff, dropping in for the second time that day to see if McAdams has everything she needs.

In 1995 DJ Static and Professor Groove were McGill University students in Montreal, volunteering at the college radio station CKUT when, in what can now be interpreted as a blessing from the musical gods, they were paired up to fill in 15 minutes on the air. The following year Static (née Michael Lai) and Professor Groove (née Nick Foster), a self-described funk head for life, would turn hip-hop radio on its head with their genre mashing show Wefunk.

Paris may be revered most often for its culinary delicacies, haute fashion and now its supermodel First Lady, but thanks to Parisian party promoters Alexandre Barouzdin and Cyril Blanc’s latest dance phenomenon, Tecktonik, the spotlight is now turning to the city’s dance floors.
“Cyril and I wanted to do parties where different styles of music like electro, jump-style, hard-style and techno were played,” says Barouzdin, who, seven years ago, along with partner Blanc, started throwing Tecktonik parties at Metropolis, the 8,000-person-capacity mega-nightclub just outside Paris.

Fergie is tired. Frankly, she’s exhausted. For three years straight, her group, The Black Eyed Peas, has been touring the world, performing nearly every night and recording albums during the day —often following grueling, 10-hour transcontinental flights.
“My world is all mixed up,” she says. “My body doesn’t know what’s going on. The Peas just keep going, going, going, like a machine.”

Shy of the spotlight and yet strong in her sense of self, Colombian actress Catalina Sandino Moreno is a new kind of it girl.
It had been a year after shooting Maria Full of Grace, and novice actress Catalina Sandino Moreno, in the middle of unforgiving New York City, was broke and more than 2000 miles away from her family and friends back in her native Bogota, Colombia.

The influx of Stella McCartney-clad hipsters in Manhattan’s Alphabet City might have appeared, back in the neighborhood’s pre-affluent era in the 80s and 90s, like poorly cast extras on the set of The Warriors. A veritable ghost town, Alphabet City, referred back then as “the wild wild west,” was a place where drug dealers defiantly engaged in public sales, boarded up buildings were converted into crack sanctuaries and echoes of crowing roosters and growling pitbulls were the daily soundtrack.
