For superstars like Beyoncé, hospitals are transformed into five-star hotels. Blue Ivy Carter, born Saturday night at the Lenox Hill Hospital on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, came into the world in style. Beyoncé and Jay-Z reportedly rented an entire floor of the Lenox Hospital, took over the security and forced staff to turn in their ...
I always request books for Christmas. I always have. I’m not sure if that made me an easy child to buy for. Novels are certainly cheaper than a new Nintendo (which is what we called an Xbox back in my day), but how to select one for a grumpy nine-year-old? Or, for that matter, a ...
Feminists dressed as angry bunnies protested against a new Playboy Club opening in London and a Slut Walk is planned in Delhi to demand respect. Women are not simply not taking it anymore. A step backward, it seems, the club will resemble the sexy 1960 club scene, complete with bunny costumes donned on servers and ...
For anyone who thought the Playboy franchise was past its prime (like Hefner himself), think again. The skimpy outfits adorned with bunny ears, bushy bunny tails and bulging busts remain alive and well. Playboy may have been in its heyday in the ’60s and ’70s, but it’s now bouncing back — with a vengeance. A ...
I thought that everyone liked to see boobs once in awhile, but it turns out that it’s only in a sexual context. If you’re trying to have a good time at a pub, chatting with your friends, having a bite to eat and drinking beer, the last thing you want to see is a woman ...

Ideally, everyone should drink something different, and something you can drink a lot of without feeling sick. If you’re going down a mixed drink, pre-mix a ...
A recent story in the British media has picked up on the fact that two gay men were ejected from a Soho pub, The John Snow, for “obscene behaviour.” You can read about the story, and its after-effects (a “kiss-in” protest by people, gay or otherwise, who thought that the two men in question were treated ...
Tonight there will be a gay kiss-in in London protesting at a pub that allegedly kicked out a kissing couple because they were gay. On Wednesday the John Snow pub in Soho, the area where most of the gay pubs in London are situated, kicked out a couple of men for being “obscene.” A man physically ...
This is a picture of Andrej Pejic, the latest sensation to strut along the runway. So why is this model so different? He’s a man. The 19 year old had apparently grown sick of men’s fashion when he zipped himself into several dresses for the Paris Couture shows. He has modeled frocks for Jil Sander ...
