M.I.A. at the Grammys last month, days before giving birth It’s been all over the interwebs that she named her baby boy, born February 11, “Ickitt.” Naturally, this created an opportunity for every Tom, Dick and Erie Lackawanna to drone on about terrible celebrity…

Favorite Hair

She Made Me Do It
A Proust Questionnaire, answered by a famous person, is always on the last page of Vanity Fair magazine. As Vanity Fair describes it, “The questionnaire has its origins in a parlor game popularized (though not devised) by Marcel Proust (1871 – 1922), the French essayist and novelist, who believed that, in answering these questions, an…
