POPSDesigners Square Off: Sexy vs. Classy Despite the number of foreign-born designers showing in New York, they manage to produce little variation in the prototypical woman: she’s either good or she’s bad. Jason Wu, who became famous overnight for his white inaugural gown for Michelle Obama, placed little tiaras on his models, their hair center-parted and their cheeks rosy. His women are resolutely good, with taste — rather than sex appeal — reflected in the checked wool jackets, a lapis blue sheath scattered with French knots, and a gray microcheck cashmere dress with black embroidered cap sleeves.

POPSRomantic Movies That Stir Our Emotions I am a hopeless romantic . Of course the movies are a wonderfull experience for our entertainment but in real life like a garden we need to continue to work on our relationships for them to contiue to bear fruit. In the movies too as in life it doesnt all work out as in the 'The Way we Were" (the chemistry between Redford and Streisand is undeniable), ultimately these differences prove too much for them to overcome. “The final scene gets me every time: Katie and Hubbell run into each other years after they've split. He has a glamorous new woman on his arm. She tells him, wistfully, 'Your girl is lovely, Hubbell.'"

POPSThe Top 10 Weirdest Moments Of 2008 According To Politico Blago eyes 2016 presidential run The 79-page criminal complaint against Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich is filled with vulgar remarks and jaw-dropping revelations related to his alleged attempt to sell President-elect Barack Obama’s Senate seat. But overlooked amid the spectacle is this bizarre gem, buried deep within the document: Blagojevich toyed with the idea of appointing himself to fill Obama’s seat to “remake his image in consideration of a possible run for president in 2016.” He’d viewed himself as a presidential contender after winning the governorship in 2002, but much had transpired since then. He had an undistinguished first term, limped to reelection in a solidly Democratic state against a weak field, alienated much of the Legislature and was well-aware the feds were closing in on his administration on corruption issues unrelated to the Senate seat.

POPS2008 Media Quotes of the Year Barbra Streisand Political IQ Award for Celebrity Vapidity "If you have a few hundred followers, and you let some of them molest children, they call you a cult leader. If you have a billion, they call you ‘Pope.’ It’s like, if you can’t pay your mortgage, you’re a deadbeat. But if you can’t pay a million mortgages, you’re Bear Stearns and we bail you out. And that is who the Catholic Church is: the Bear Stearns of organized pedophilia." — Bill Maher on HBO’s Real Time, April 11. Admitting the Obvious Award “When NBC News first assigned me to the Barack Obama campaign, I must confess my knees quaked a bit....I wondered if I was up to the job. I wondered if I could do the campaign justice.” — NBC reporter Lee Cowan in an article for NBC’s “The Peacock” advertising supplement, March 23-29.

POPSAmerica's Last Will and Testament It astounds me that Democrats continue to paint Republicans as plutocrats when kazillionaires like Kennedy, Boxer, Feinstein, Schumer, Kerry, Clinton and even a guy named Rockefeller, sit in the Senate, and people like George Soros, Barbra Streisand, George Clooney, Warren Buffet, Bill Gates and Oprah Winfrey, fill their coffers. I used to wonder why Soros, a bottom-feeder who made his fortune in the sleazy business of currency trading, would align himself with the far left wing of the Democratic party. Then, one day, it occurred to me that I used to describe John Howard Lawson, a hack screenwriter who once ran the Communist party in Hollywood, as a man who was born to run a gulag. I now believe that Soros sees himself as a major honcho in a new Soviet United States, a man in charge of the men who would run the gulags.

POPS Vladimir Putin '08 For Democratic U.S.President Iowa Activist: I want the strongest candidate on the Democratic ticket in 2008 and Putin is it. I wish any of our Democrats could be half the man he is in dealing with the right-wing media. Most experts agree that if Putin were to run on the Democratic platform, he could easily beat other candidates at their own game by promising the American people a smorgasbord of entitlements. "The values are the same, and so is the shared vision of massive government expansion to save the children from the dangers of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," continues General Yezhov. "And when the product is the same, salesmanship and experience take the priority. That's all what's left for your political observers to talk about - experience. And who's got more experience in expanding the power of the government than Putin? Who I ask?"

POPSHillary's a "Funny Girl" Why this is such news amazes me. Aside from the monetary rewards to Clinton and Obama I find it incredible that any credence whatsoever need be given to the backing of two private individuals. But that is the draw of celebrity in the US theses days.

POPSVietnam & Iraq "We were learning in our school today All about a country far away, Full of lovely temples painted gold, Modern cities, jungles ages old. And the people are so pretty there, Shining smiles, and shiny eyes and hair . . . Then I had to ask my teacher why War was making all those people die. They’re so pretty, so pretty. Then my teacher said, and took my hand, “They must die for peace, you understand.” But they’re so pretty, so pretty. I don’t understand." "This is exactly the mentality I was brought up with, concerning Vietnam. It took a while to discover the truth: I guess I was in my late teens. I was also well familiar with a famous poster: 'War Is Dangerous for Children and Other Living Things.' Uh-huh: It turned out that the longed-for Communist “peace” was far more dangerous to children and other living things. Which, by the way, was more dangerous for Anne Frank? War or 'peace'?"
