Valentino Thanks Jackie Kennedy For Success
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, News, Rumors,
Valentino believes he owes his fashion career to Jackie Kennedy.
In new movie Valentino: The Last Emperor - a documentary on the style guru’s fashion empire - the hot-headed Italian admits his success was down to president John Kennedy’s stylish wife wearing his clothes in the 60s. The coveted designer - real name Valentino Garavani - said, “She was the lady who made Valentino, and I made hundreds of dresses for her.”
The 78-year-old icon - who stepped down as the fashion house’s creative director two years ago - also admits his favorite creation was the famous black and white gown worn by Julia Roberts when she picked up her Best Actress Oscar in 2001.
“I saw it on TV. If movie stars love your clothes, that’s very important to me.”
According to the Daily Telegraph newspaper, the film also highlights Valentino’s eccentric and lavish lifestyle. Shot two years before he left the fashion house in 2008 after 45 years, the fly-on-the-wall film documents the legendary fashion designer’s six luxury homes, 150-foor yacht and five pet pugs. It also features his famous temper - which he admits he doesn’t care fans seeing - because it has made him who he is.

Is the Weird Joaquin Phoenix Documentary For Real?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Paparazzi Videos, Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
As we’ve been reporting, Oscar-nominated actor Joaquin Phoenix purportedly dropped out of movies back in 2009 to focus on his musical career. The career switch has been documented, or at least that’s the claim, by Phoenix’s brother-in-law Casey Affleck.
From the word go, public opinion has been pretty strong that the whole thing was some sort of hoax. Now, Affleck and Joaquin Phoenix are actually shopping the project around…and no one’s really figured it out yet.

PBS Reopens Century-Old Crime
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, PBS, Video,
On Monday night, PBS will be digging into Georgia’s old case files to present The People v. Leo Frank, the story of a factory supervisor who was tried for the murder of a young girl who worked at the plant.
The case sparked national media attention, the trial carrying on for days and days until eventually Frank was convicted of the crime. A Yankee, a Jew, an outsider and a convenient target, Frank was charged with the terribly brutal murder of Mary Phagan, 13. After he was interred in jail, local citizens formed a vigilante squad to forcibly remove Frank from captivity. They took him to the outskirts of town, where a lynch mob waited. An unknown man later gave Frank’s wedding ring to his wife, ostensibly Leo’s last request.
