HarperCollins announced Tuesday that it will publish Brown's memoir, currently untitled, in early 2011. Financial terms were not disclosed; Brown was represented by Washington attorney Robert Barnett, whose many clients have included Kennedy, the liberal icon who died last summer after more than 40 years in office

If style is grace under pressure, as Ernest Hemingway once defined it, then designer Giambattista Valli surely has it in spades.
Though his Italian manufacturer, the Burani group, went into liquidation last month, the designer presented a beautifully slick show in Paris on Monday, March 8, that reminded the audience what a great designer Valli really is.
Staged in a disused bank building, the show opened with a quintet of looks where Valli played with volume, most spectacularl

Lil Wayne was sentenced Monday to a year in jail in New York City for having a loaded gun on his tour bus in 2007, then was taken away in handcuffs to begin his term immediately.

The day before she is favored to win an Oscar, Sandra Bullock was crowned on Saturday with the dubious title of worst actress of 2009.
Bullock, whose drama "The Blind Side" has made her the odds-on favorite to claim the best actress Oscar, was given a Razzie Award for worst female performance in "All About Steve." No performer has ever won a Razzie and an Oscar the same year.
Unlike most Razzie honorees, Bullock showed up to collect the award, dragging a cart of DVDs to hand out

Dmitri Shostakovich composed his first opera, "The Nose," more than 80 years ago and based it on a short story written nearly a century before that.
Yet few works in the repertory seem more modern or musically challenging than this absurdist masterpiece that came to the Metropolitan Opera for the first time Friday night.
Written when the composer was just 22, the opera is adapted from a story by Nikolai Gogol about a bureaucrat in St. Petersburg named Kovalyov who wakes up to di

Ferlin Husky, who first achieved stardom with his 1957 song "Gone," will be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame along with veteran country stars Jimmy Dean, Don Williams, and Billy Sherrill.

Husky helped usher in the smoother, more slickly produced Nashville Sound movement, with "Gone" a top country hit that also reached No. 4 on the pop charts. The record featured vo
