Prince plays private show in France June 07

Still think Prince is socksy?

June 19, 2007

LOOK at his thick white socks and platformed flip-flops and still tell me PRINCE is a sex symbol.

The style blunder was captured as the Purple Rain star shuffled through Nice airport in France.
Perhaps he had made a too hasty exit from the beach.
It looks like an old MICHAEL JACKSON ensemble gone wrong.
I just hope Prince’s dress sense is back on a surer footing when he performs at London’s O2 arena in August.
I reckon the numbers-obsessed star has badly miscalculated this latest look.

Cruise family joins Packer celebrations


Wednesday Jun 20 00:25 AEST
Tom Cruise, wife Katie Holmes and their daughter, Suri, joined in the wedding celebrations for James Packer and Erica Baxter in the French Riviera.
The Cruise family were at the exclusive Hotel du Cap Eden Roc, which Mr Packer has hired out for the wedding party and guests ahead of the nuptials, which are expected to take place on Wednesday night local time.
Rumours were gathering pace in the south of France and on Hollywood gossip websites that fellow Scientologist and movie star Cruise would act as celebrant at the wedding. Cruise is now apparently qualified to perform Scientology weddings.

Cruise, wearing a striped polo shirt, walked down the front steps of the hotel with his wife, who had what appeared to be a black wrap draped over her shoulders and was wearing a pair of giant sunglasses while carrying the couple's 14-month-old daughter.
They got into a waiting silver car and waited for a short time, possibly discussing how to evade the throng of photographers and camera crews gathered at the front gate.
The car then drove off, using a side exit before driving straight past the main entrance with the media in hot pursuit.
Earlier, Mr Packer and Miss Baxter caught a zodiac across to the hotel from their luxury cruiser, the Arctic P.
They were joined on the jetty by Packer family matriarch Ros, who was wearing a striking full-length leopard-print dress with turquoise beading around the neckline, and several friends, many of whom carried matching white and blue beach bags packed to the brim.
The party has well and truly started on the Cote d'Azur. Now, all that remains is the wedding ceremony itself.
But exactly where, when and how Mr Packer and Miss Baxter will marry remained a tightly-protected secret as preparations continued.
Friends and guests of Australia's richest man jetted in from all corners of the globe for the $A6 million wedding, but none admitted to knowing what they were in for.
"We've all been kept in the dark, so it's a nice surprise," said Sarah Murdoch, the wife of Packer's mate Lachlan Murdoch.
The wedding of the 39-year-old media and gaming mogul to the 29-year-old model turned singer from Gunnedah looks set to take place aboard the Arctic P.
The converted icebreaker last year hosted Cruise and Holmes on their honeymoon.
Much of the pre-wedding action has been taking place on the cobalt waters of the Mediterranean off Cap d'Antibes.
Media mogul Rupert Murdoch enjoyed time on his yacht, the Rose Hearty, with his wife, Wendi Deng, and their two daughters, Grace and Chloe.
Murdoch's son Lachlan swam to his father's craft from his own yacht moored nearby, the Graziella, spurning an offer of a lift with his wife, Mr Packer and Miss Baxter as they sped past in a zodiac.
Ms Murdoch said she had been looking forward to days of water sports and relaxation, adding: "All the Aussies are here."
As with all good weddings, details of the bridal gown remain a closely-guarded secret, although one report suggests it will be a $A100,000 haute couture number.
For guests, the dress code for each lavish occasion appeared to be one thing they had been briefed on.
Ms Murdoch, who married Lachlan in 1999, will appear at the wedding in an outfit by Australian designer Willow.
Nine Network reporter Leila McKinnon, who is married to former Nine boss and Mr Packer's close friend, David Gyngell, will wear a dress by Carolina Herrera.
Television and AFL personality Eddie McGuire said he won't be acting as MC, which perhaps points to broadcaster and Packer friend Alan Jones filling that role.
"I'll be giving them a toaster," Mr McGuire said of his wedding gift.
Mr Jones was tight-lipped about the wedding, saying only that it would be "interesting and involved" and there would be "something for everyone".
Mr Gyngell predicted the wedding would be "amazing", and said of Packer: "I've never seen the guy so happy in my life."
Miss Baxter will walk down the aisle with her father Michael, a solicitor from Gunnedah in north western NSW.

he did play a secret show. the "if it's in the sun..." part relates to the michael jackson/tent/big brother stories recently, but this time the sun's story at least has some basis in reality

socks and sandals are a fashion crime. white socks with sandals and an otherwise all black outfit takes fashion crime to extremes. if his socks were black no-one would have noticed, so he obviously thinks he is making some kind of style statement by wearing the white sox. white sox are only acceptable on men when wearing sneakers. even stevie wonder knows that, so it's obvious this time that prince wasn't dressed by stevie wonder in the dark. if you really have a desire to wear sandals, don't wear sox

tune in next week, same time, for more fashion tips from unique and aggie
