HE’S HOT, HE’S SEXY, HE’S UNDEAD
Two years ago, Robert Pattinson was a forgotten extra in a ‘Harry Potter’ movie. Then he got cast as a blue-balled vampire in ‘Twilight,’ the year’s kazillion-dollar movie franchise, and every woman in America over 14 wants him. Too bad he’s not sure he wants them
It’s December; Twilight, in which Pattinson, 22, plays an adorably tortured perma-teenage vampire too principled to drink human blood, has been in theaters for about a month.

It's Worse Than We Thought
By Doug Patton

Perhaps it was all the hoopla about the historic nature of Barack Obama's presidency. Maybe the hype of election night and all that talk about wishing our first black president well actually made us all believe, for just a fleeting moment in time, that things would not be as bad as we feared they would be. It turns out they are worse.

Maya Angelou is an amazing woman and poet. These are very wise words (plus the quips at the end are good, too).

1. The Eiffel Tower
A trip to the Eiffel Tower is practically mandatory for couples in Paris, but heading straight to the top with throngs of tourists isn’t the only way to go. Dinner at the Jules Verne restaurant on the second platform lets diners combine amazing views with elegant French cuisine.

I found really cute Christmas wine charms that I would like to give my mom as a present this holiday, but I would also like to buy a bottle of wine to go with them (I am working backwards, I guess). She really likes Beaujolis-Villlages from George Duboeuf (pictured) but we have several bottles in the house. Can anyone recommend a similar wine or something new to try?

Vanity Fair magazine - Nov 2007: Legends
Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg on the set of the movie Slogan, June 1968. By Gilles Caron/Contact Press Images.
The Secret World of Serge Gainsbourg
Sixteen years after Serge Gainsbourg's death, his small, graffiti-covered Paris house is almost exactly as he left it—crammed with mementos of his poetic, nicotine-and-alcohol-fueled, sometimes scandalous life as France's most adored singer-songwriter, lover of Jane Birkin and Brigitte Bardot, and friend to countless taxi drivers and policemen.
