I wonder how many of those Academy Award red carpet divas do anything like this: The other day Kate Middleton visited the Royal School of Needlework, at Britain's Hampton Court Pal-ace, to meet the women who sewed her wedding dress. The label said Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, but the actual hand-stitching of lace applique onto the bodice and skirt, etc., was done at the RSN. The workers also had to keep the project secret. Kate visited the school to thank the women in person. The first anniversary of her wedding to Prince William will be April 29.
No more nups: Russell Brand claims he'll never marry again, Nameless Insider told the Daily Star in the U.K. "Russ was devastated when things with Katy (Perry) went wrong," the source is quoted as saying. "We all worried he'd go off the rails again. He managed to pull himself together and he's fine now."
You bet: He's been seen with Zooey Deschanel, and with the alluring Oriela Medellin Amie-iro, about whom the source said Russell "doesn't want to string her along, but he's dead set on not getting married again." Oriela's 25. Russell is 36.
Creativity in action: I don't really like Facebook. But I have just wasted way too much of my day looking at ads on Facebook. Brands can have timeline pages now, and some genuine creative talent is on display. Check out Old Spice's page, with the leopard in the eye patch. I got onto this through an Advertising Age article (adage.com) which has links to several droll corporate pages. (I believe one reason contemporary "art" is so vapid is that in our times many gifted visual-artists gets lured into advertising. Where great artists used to suck up to rich aristocrats – "patrons of the arts" – their descendants suck up to rich corporations. And really, wouldn't you rather spend an hour watching great TV ads than pretending to like the meaningless crud that passes for "conceptual art"? Don't get me started!
SGA: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have named their new son. I was hoping for Den (you know, Dennis) or Ken or Len or Penn (like Penn Jillette) or Ren (as in Ren and Stimpy) or maybe Ten (after Tennessee Williams) but they let me down: the kid will be Samuel Garner Affleck.
