    Chelsea Clinton slipped into a pair of sharp neutral pumps to complement a blue midi dress at the world premiere of “The Crane’s Call” during the Tribeca Film Festival 2024 on Sunday. For the premiere, Clinton stepped out in downtown Manhattan wearing a collared dress that reached her ankles. The dress cinched at the waist with dangling tied fabric on the left and right; it also featured short puffed sleeves. Clinton was joined by Liev Schreiber among other guests at the SVA Theater. Meanwhile, Clinton’s shoes were a neutral-toned beige, easily blending with the blue of her dress. They...

    It’s easy to think of pin-up art as a charming relic of the old boys’ club—images that might line the walls of a Mid-Century smoking room where Don Draper and Roger Sterling slap each other on the back. And the names of the artists that come up over and over again are men: Alberto Vargas, George Petty, and Gil Elvgren. So you might be surprised to learn that, according to pin-up art expert Louis K. Meisel, three of the most talented pin-up painters from the Golden Age, roughly the 1920s to the early 1960s, were women. “Pearl Frush, Joyce Ballantyne,...

    A revealing image on the runway has some AirTran Airways flight attendants fuming. Orlando-based AirTran, which has its largest hub in Atlanta, has adorned one of its Boeing 737 jets with the image of a swimsuit-clad woman in heels, as part of a partnership with Sports Illustrated for the magazine's swimsuit edition. The promotion is ending and AirTran will remove the image from the plane soon, spokesman Christopher White said. The AJC has learned that the Association of Flight Attendants at AirTran voiced its objections in a message to members. "It is our feeling that this is not only contrary...

    'Playboy' Prison Guard Fights To Get Her Job Back POSTED: 9:40 am EDT July 12, 2007 SCHUYLKILL COUNTY, Pa. -- A former Berks County corrections officer who was fired in April after she appeared in Playboy wants her job back, in part so she can earn enough money to keep the family farm.

    Ladies, here's one more man you won't be getting. The Rev. Monsignor Georg Gaenswein, the Pope's private secretary, has become the first papal pinup. Gorgeous Georg, as Gaenswein is often called, has movie-star looks - he has been compared to George Clooney and Hugh Grant - and a charismatic character that's been gaining him many female fans. The 50-year-old has been called "divinely handsome" by Maria Luisa Agnese, editor of the Italian magazine Corriere. And the former Italian first lady once congratulated the Pope on live television for choosing the Black Forest Adonis. He has been photographed in tennis shorts...

    PARIS -- He is everything France likes about itself: cultured, literary, eloquent and more than a little dashing. As the government's point man in efforts to slow Washington's drive for war against Iraq, Dominique de Villepin has used his charm to full effect. At the U.N. Security Council, the French foreign minister has faced down Secretary of State Colin Powell in pressing for more U.N. weapons inspections. In a rare move, U.N. delegates broke protocol to applaud de Villepin after his impassioned appeal last week that war should be a last resort. De Villepin, 49, has long had a way...
