There are so many fun things to learn about Waris Ahluwalia — the generally darling jewelry designer/actor/teetotal scenester/all-around chic Sikh whom you recognize from all those Wes Anderson movies — in this new Q&A! Ahluwalia says Cate Blanchett or his I Am Love co-star Tilda Swinton would be his top choices to play him in a biopic, becaues "They're both fantastic and have played men in various roles." He says he got into doing what he does by founding and editing a music magazine called Oscillate. "But I didn't like chasing people down for ad dollars every month. I only knew that after I tried it though." And his dream role? To play a zombie in a Rob Zombie movie. More »

This essay about Katharine Hepburn really makes you want a) to be her b)have known her and c) watch all her movies, immediately. The author, Sarah Standing, had the luxury of living with Hepburn for several months, in all her whiskey-drinking, trouser-wearing, wood-chopping, frigid-ocean-swimming glory. And while Kate's home truths — "You can't sail a leaky boat. You either keep rowing or you sink. Swim to safety before it's too late," — are sage indeed, it seems a little unfair to compare Hepburn's "real star" quality to what passes for celebrity today, as Standing does. After all, it's not like there was really anyone as awesome in her own day either. The upside? At least high-waisted trousers are readily available now - "because it's impossible to explore properly in a dress," as Hepburn herself said. [Telegraph] More »
