That spotlight swung from the West Coast to the East last night on the fourth preview night of MoMA’s retrospective of a performance artist without peer, “Marina Abramović: The Artist Is Present,” which opens to the public on ...

The cast is a cannon-spewing variety of shellac, synthetic wigs, and tanned leather skin: Ernest Borgnine, Edie Adams, Elke Sommer, Eleanor Parker, Broderick Crawford, Peter Lawford, Milton Berle (underplaying nicely), and, making his screen debut, Tony Bennett (bugging out as if there were no tomorrow, wagging his finger at ...

Oh, sure, they hand out the little statues and all, but everyone knows that the Oscars are about fashion, right? Well, to those of us who appreciate clothes more than movies, they are. Here are some of the hits and misses from the Academy Awards telecast Sunday night. Hits Jennifer Lopez would probably look good in a sackcloth dress, but in a gorgeous white stunner by Giorgio Armani, she was positively radiant. It isn’t easy to get away with white on the red carpet, and standing next to tux-clad hubby Marc Anthony the pair slightly resembled the bride and groom ...
