She also has to keep things modern without appearing to "sell out" to 'Vogue's' older subscribers. She is pushing hard to convince Kate Middleton to grace the cover of the coveted September issue, but it looks like Wintour has her work cut out for her in convincing the duchess to actually do it.

    Teresa Giudice of 'RHONJ' has been locked up in a Connecticut prison for a little over a month now, and her family is already beginning to feel the financial loss of her being behind bars. When Teresa and her husband Joe Giudice were sentenced last fall on various counts of fraud, not only did they get prison time, but there was also a hefty restitution amount that needed to be paid back.

  • Fox News Anchor Kristi Capel Uses Racial Slur to Describe Lady Gaga Performance

    Kristi Capel of 'Fox 8 News in the Morning' in Cleveland learned the value of her words yesterday, Feb. 23, the hard way. She was discussing the Oscars with co-anchor Wayne Dawson when the topic turned to Lady Gaga's 'Sound of Music' medley. Capel was in the middle of praising Gaga and explaining how she never realized how amazing the star's voice really is because it is usually hard to hear it "with all of that jigaboo music she does or whatever you want to call it, jigaboo," said Capel, while laughing. Dawson, who just happens to be African-American, clearly had no idea how to even react to her on-air insensitivity.
