"One Mass Dance" features choreographers who go to three cities to assemble large dance teams, which then perform a "mass dance" before an unsuspecting audience.

"Shed to Wed" pits couples who compete to lose pounds before getting hitched.

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

Frank Cervantes Valli's Walk of Shame Chic

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

Frank Cervantes Lil Wayne begins year jail term in NYC gun case

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 Grammy Award-winning rapper, born Dwayne Carter, was sentenced in Manhattan after pleading guilty in October to attempted criminal possession of a weapon. He admitted having the loaded .40-caliber semiautomatic gun on his tour bus.

The rapper will serve his sentence in city jails, not a state prison

Frank Cervantes Oscar hopeful Sandra Bullock crowned worst actress

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

Frank Cervantes Met premieres Shostakovich's absurdist 'The Nose'

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

Emma Byrd Govt slow to force safer designs for window blinds

WASHINGTON – Shopping for her nursery, Kelly Horvath bought a new window shade because its label advertised its child safety features. She later found her 16-month-old son dead in his crib, the shade's cord wrapped around his neck, another young victim of what U.S. government records show are some of the deadliest recalled consumer products. "It was the hardest thing I've had to go through in my life," said Horvath, a stay-at-home mom in Painesville, Ohio, about the death of her son, Josiah, in… Continue

Emma Byrd Chile was ready for quake, Haiti wasn't

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – The earthquake in Chile was far stronger than the one that struck Haiti last month — yet the death toll in this Caribbean nation is magnitudes higher. The reasons are simple. Chile is wealthier and infinitely better prepared, with strict building codes, robust emergency response and a long history of handling seismic catastrophes. No living Haitian had experienced a quake at home when the Jan. 12 disaster crumbled their poorly constructed buildings. And Chile was relat… Continue
