Amitabh Bachachan Moved By Indian Idol 5

Season 5 of Indian Idol started with a bang on Monday. Amitabh Bachchan wrote on his blog that the hopes, aspirations, victory and defeat of the young “would move any human”. Big B accepted that he was indeed touched by the contestants while watching Indian Idol. And also the fact that he watches the show with “great interest and expectations”.

Two episodes over and the excitement has already started on the show. With judges Anu Malik, Sunidhi Chauhan and Salim Merchant pulling each other’s legs, the entertainment has just begun. Already shorlisted some talented singers, Indian Idol 5 seems to be quite promising. Our fingers are crossed!!!

Post IPL, What Is SRK Doing?

After losing over IPL matches, the co-owner of the Team Kolkata Knight Riders, Shah Rukh Khan is busy with his home production movie Ra.one. After Bobby Chawla (the CEO, Red Chillies) chose a brief period of illness and hospitalization, the kind-hearted superstar has taken over the additional burden of production onto his his already overloaded shoulders. The actor was busy shooting prior to this but this extra work is keeping him really busy, away from the whole world.

To this the great SRK tweets, “Whole day gone in meetings for production etc… So many things happening.. Sometimes don’t even realize how the day comes to the end. Wish, Bobby my friend gets well sooner than soon. He is still in the hospital and the film is so difficult in terms of production”.

As per the 44-years old actor, the title ‘Ra.One’ means “Random Access Version One”. I think we will understand the meaning and relevance better after the movie hits the floor. Let us see in spite of all these hurdles, when will the movie be on air for us to view and guess the real meaning.

Music Launch of the much awaited Ravana

The drum beats followed by Abhishek jumping off a cliff into a river ! And Aishwarya emerging out of the same river water ! Yeah Readers ! You guessed it right. I am talking of the upcoming movie Ravana.

A huge buzz has been felt since the trailers of Ravana have hit the television sets. The movie starring Aishwarya Rai Bachhan, Abhishek Bachhan and the Tamil Superstar Vikram, is the forthcoming movie of the multi-talented Mani Ratnam. Ravana will be showcased in multiple languages.

The Audio release was set on the 24th of April at the Yashraj Studios. The musical magic is created by the living Legend Gulzar and the Oscar and Grammy Awards Winner, A.R. Rahman. The combination of the two greatest musical maestros is ready to trap your heart and bind your soul. The list of crew is a top-notch. The younger Bachhan has laid a few steps onto the beat of the song Thok De Killi at the occassion. And the Bachhan daughter-in-law added an extra sparkle with her stunning saree designed exclusively by Sabyasachi, the costume designer for the movie. The wait is still a little long because the movie is decided to be on air tentatively during the 11th International Indian Film Academy Awards (IIFA) 2010 to be held in the month of June.

Ben Chmura Resort 2010 in Tampa May 1

From the press release:

Ben Chmura is known for making small references to the past while still making efforts to design for the future. With his first resort collection, Lamia’s Wrath, he has done it again. Lamia is a Greek character that was famously rumored to be cursed by Hera and transformed into half woman and half serpent. Chmura has taken inspiration from John Keats’ poem “Lamia,” and John Waterhouse’s ethereal depictions of the character.

The collection is saturated in shades of vermilion, aqua, textural ivories and neutrals of raw silk, silk linen, silk faille, molded bleached wicker and metallic silks. Chmura has also distressed and refaced crocodile embossed platform pumps with a rose gold color and incorporated pink sequined, netted overlays that wrap around the shoe in a serpentine manner. There are moments of draping that will reflect the Greek inspiration without it seeming contrived or forced. Chmura’s intent is to offer a collection full of color, texture and extreme fusion of past and future silhouettes while making women feel beautiful empowerment, like Lamia herself.

Ben plans to move to New York this summer.

Judy's Little Black Dress -Kwik Sew 3778 Number 2

This is the one shoulder version of Kwik Sew 3778. I used some black knit that I think is ottomen knit. It's very soft, medium weight with a ton of stretch and it's got a ribbed like look similar to corduroy. She'll wear it with a belt. It only took about an hour from start to finish to make this dress. The changes I made were to add length for long tall Judy and additional 1" to front to help cover her bust -a quick and easy FBA. A picture of Huckleberry with some new fabrics I got from fabric.com.

Liz Summer Dress -Kwik Sew 3778

Just another quick and easy summer dress for daughter in law Liz. This went together very fast. I added a self fabric belt because it just needed something. I used my coverstitch machine for hem. Used clear elastic at armholes because this fabric was so soft it needed something to beef it up before I turned it under and topstitched it. I also topstitched the neckband to keep the seam allowences from popping out. Fabric is from Fabric Mart. I believe it was a rayon knit. Here's a picture of Megan and Sophie all tuckered out from taking an hour long walk and then playing with the cousins. Sophie looks like a little angel sleeping on top of Mommie.

Project Runway Fantasy Game Update from Mark Y

Greetings Project Runway Super Fans,


I'm so glad we are called Super Fans because this season was Super and just plain fun. It was great seeing the designers back in the Big Apple and Michael and Nina in their director's chairs where they belong.


Great guest judges, a couple of field trips and interesting materials kept me watching. But it was the cast of talented, charming designers that engaged me week after week. These are people we can care about. Stay tuned to BPR and watch how far they'll soar.


Picking the winner has had me on pins and needles all week long but I've made up my mind. Seth Aaron will take it all. This guy can sew and and he has a point of view that is all his own. Let's hear it for the boy!


See you in the Party Room tonight.

Meeting Seth Aaron Henderson - Season Four Auditions in Los Angeles

While covering the auditions for season four I had the privilege of meeting several promising "hopefuls." Among them were Leanne Marshall, Christiane King and Seth Aaron Henderson.

The audition was in Los Angeles at The Standard Hotel. You can read our coverage of the trip here and here. My daughter, Kaitlin and son, Daniel traveled with me.

The "hopeful" who joined us at the pool bar - Seth Aaron! Tina was with him and we had a wonderful evening at the pool bar on the roof of The Standard.

Season Seven Finale Predictions from Past Contestants

Heidi Klum Wears Emilio Sosa's Design on the Red Carpet

Photo: Merritt/WireImage

Heidi delivers on her promise to wear the winning dress from the Episode 11 challenge. Last night she wore the shortened dress to the Los Angeles premiere of "The Back-up Plan." What do you think?

Top 5 Looks: 1st Place

One of the biggest compliments you can give a designer is that no matter what the setting, you can look at one of their garments and tell exactly who created it. That has certainly been the case during Seth Aaron Henderson's run on Season 7. His designs stand out with their impeccable construction, modern punk feel, extensive use of hardware and just enough softness at the edges to make his looks feminine. Never in serious danger of elimination, it has been no surprise that he finds himself in a position to win it all.

In Episode 6 "A Little Bit of Fashion", the designers were introduced to new models in the form of 11 adorable young girls. With $50 and a day to work, they were challenged to create an outfit for their pint-sized muses. On runway day, Tim gives them a classic PR surprise - they must create a companion look for the mother that will be worn by their models.

Seth Aaron had a big advantage given the fact that he had a daughter of his own and knew just what little girls liked. For 6-year old Sydney he made a black and white houndstooth hoodie with cute watermelon-like pockets and "SA" appliqued into a pink star on the back. This covered a pink and black striped dress paired with a black skirt. His model Valeria wore a gorgeous black and white striped striped jacket with skinny jeans adorned with more of Seth's signature hardware.

The judges loved this look and so did you. When Heidi asked Sydney what she like most about her it, she shyly responded "my purse". Nina nearly fell out of her chair over that one.

Tonight we find out if Seth Aaron Henderson takes home the big prize but for now you have chosen him to take home our little one. Congratulations Seth Aaron, you created the BPR Top Look of Season 7!
