Those tax-evading Ciprianis. Now what?
Without Leona Helmsley to offer first-hand advice, how does a prestige business repair its image after a financial scandal? How can you run a first-class operation once you acquire the title of felon?...

I was away , and I missed this, thanksWeren't there also troubles a few years ago about unfair labor practices in New York, and a strike?

Did people read that pretty hilarious Bruni review of Harry Cipriani in NYT? The review is so bad it's funny.

I had completely missed that review, but now I have thoroughly enjoyed reading it. It's not often these days one reads the phrase "highway robbery" in a restaurant review.

There're so many quotables in that review. I think my favorite part is the bit about the potatoes, which segues into the bit about "transcendently vapid risotto alla primavera, cooked to a state of...

"transcendently vapid" is a phrase I will try to remember. I wonder if that qualifies as an oxymoron?I once read in an interview with actor Hugh Grant that he'd bought something that he termed...

Interesting... did they evade taxes in both Italy and US?Quote:It seems like there's something weird going on -- she's married but they hang out -- and even with her husband. I must be weird too then....

I see your point. I'm not a Hollywood gossip, but it's interesting to skim this article on Hugh & Liz.Of course it's hard to know how much is the media and how much is real. Needless to say I'm...

Good idea, Elaine, I'll divide my time between Hugh and the Philiminator (that's an Amazing Race reference, for you non-fans). Actually, I'm trying to imagine Liz's husband being so incredibly secure...
