Fashion Designer Charles Nolan Dies at 53
American fashion designer Charles Nolan has died in New York after fighting cancer. The 53-year-old Nolan was known to be a fan of classic styles, but he skewed them with a modern edge and personal touch.
Women's Wear Daily first reported his death on its website Sunday. Charles Nolan store vintage buyer Maggie Savage confirmed the report.
Nolan launched his own label in 2004. He previously was the head designer for Anne Klein and Ellen Tracy. But he was almost as well known for his political interest as his work in fashion.
He took a publicized hiatus from fashion in 2003 to work on former Democratic Vermont Gov. Howard Dean's presidential campaign. Dean tells Women's Wear Daily that Nolan was a "wonderful" person.

WARNING -- SOME VIDEOS MAY AUTOSTART.
Soap Discussion - January 2011
Coronation Street: This show has continued to improve over the last few months and the residual consequences of the tram crash storyline have been gripping stuff. It served as a motive for Claire being the one responsible for Tracy getting her head caved and there was an interesting sense of community spirit as everyone helped her escape the police. Tracy's going to have find some other way to vent her rage now. Also when we weren't dealing with Janice being burgled or Fiz's growing financial woes (and the unwise choice of helping to claim Joy Fishwick's will), there was John having a breakdown. He's really sensitive for a killer, ain't he? Gary's continuous breakdowns are also apt but the writers do need to give him to do as well and Eileen's stealing off Owen was surprisingly short lived. Highlight of the month was Sally's means of trying to dissuade buyers from her house. Take that, Kevin Webster.
EastEnders: For a show that won Best Soap at the NTA's last week, I'm struggling to think of one of the many big storylines in January 2011 that was actually likeable. I'm not gonna further comment on the baby swap storyline because it's so damn tedious that I don't want to care. Similarly I can't bring myself to care about Christian and Syed's boring quest to have a baby with Roxy because the writers can't be arsed to actually develop them as a couple. Nor do I care about Phil's near but not deadly heart attack or his tiresome feuding with Ian. Plus, if I go into the Carol/Connor and Phil/Glenda/Ian affairs, I might just throw up and unlike Heather's fecking sneezing about the place last week, I would be convincing. Overall, this was a month that gave and gave bad storylines in spades.Lisa Miskovsky - Got A Friend
Lisa Miskovsky has been around the Swedish music scene for awhile now. She started out as a mostly folksy, acoustic--almost country--artist but has experimented with a more subtle electronic pop sound as she's released more material. This is no dancefloor stormer, but it's definitely glossier than her first recordings. There's a nice collision of sounds here, an augmented version of her acoustic guitar pop. Plus, it's catchy as hell. The chorus has a big, anthemic sound to it--perfect for the radio. And Miskovsky's vocals, as usual, are as smooth and pleasant as ever. I've always thought that she would be an excellent addition to Sweden's Melodifestivalen. The contest seems to favor this style (ie: a more interesting version of last year's winner). Then Miskovsky's transformation would be complete.

My Review of Being Human's 3x02: "Adam's Family"
Directed by Colin Teague
Nina: �Stay in touch, yeah?�
Adam: �You so want me.�
George: �Good luck, yeah?�
Adam: �George, one more thing � you are such a sad arse.�
And it�s goodbye to you, Adam. If we ever wanted to see George and Nina in parental mode (and I have a feeling this episode sort of set that up), then their taking care of young vampire Adam was a pretty good case in point of proving how great they would be whenever they have their own kids. Notice I didn�t say if there, right?
I liked that Adam�s arc in some ways was more or less resembling Jessica�s from True Blood or even Caroline�s from The Vampire Diaries. Take a baby faced teenage vampire and try to help him survive in the big bad world now that his father has passed on. George and Nina didn�t have to help the lad but they�re better people for doing it though.
Adam didn�t make it exactly easy for them with his initial werewolf-phobic behaviour and penchant for running off and nearly snacking on a random girl but I did feel incredibly sorry for the guy when George and Nina originally handed him over to rich vampire couple, Richard and Emma. Thank goodness the pair of them saw sense.
Richard and Emma as vampires pretty much proved that all the money and privilege in the world still makes you a total div. They had care for the humans they drank off, in spite of their nifty little system and their attitude towards George and Nina definitely made me want to stake them as well.
Fortunately when it came down to the crunch, Adam chose a more complicated life over the idea of being stuck in a rich nightmare freak show with Richard and Emma. I�m guessing the idea of numbered gimp and having to shag Emma on a billiards table wasn�t exactly up Adam�s alley after all.
However while George and Nina did step up to the plate and got Adam away from the mad pair, why do I get the feeling that Richard�s threat of repercussions wasn�t just him blowing hot air? This season is supposed to be giving all kinds of villains and I would definitely be surprised if Richard and Emma didn�t surface later in the season to get their own back on George and Nina.
As for the goodbye scene with Adam, I thought it was absolutely a nice way of sending the character off. He�s already got his own journey to make and online spin-off with Becoming Human, so it�s definitely not the last we�ve seen of him. That�s great, because despite some of his doltish behaviour and the fact that he looked horribly unkempt for the first half of the episode, he was definitely a more entertaining vampire than Vincent was in the previous episode.
Less entertaining this week was Mitchell. I can understand his reluctance in telling the gang that he�s got a werewolf related death coming his way but I found myself getting annoyed with him throughout this episode for multiple reasons � taking so long to help Adam out being one of them.
But the main was his attitude with Annie. Yes, he had some great moments with her and while he was right to tell her not to define herself by the gang, he�s also doing a lot of harm to her by lying to her as well. I really do hope that we don�t have to wait until the finale for Mitchell to let everyone else know that he�s got a nasty prophecy hanging over his head.
Also in �Adam�s Family�
Becoming Human can be seen on the BBC3 website as well as the red button and will continue for the rest of this series.
Annie: �It wasn�t actually all that bad.�
Nina: �Annie, you were in purgatory.�
Annie: �Yeah, I know but I�ve been to the Isle Of Wight, so it�s not really that much of a culture shock.�
Adam's dad mentioned having a thing for Anneke Rice. My bad.
Nina: �I know what you are.�
Adam: �So you know what I can do to you if you come any nearer, Goldie.�
Richard (re Mitchell): �I expected some demon. What do I find? The last Russell Brand in the shop.�
Richard tried to get Mitchell to go to South America on behalf of the Old Ones. Mitchell should be a lot more worried that Richard knows about the Box Tunnel Massacre.
George (to Adam, re Annie): �You�re a 46 year old vampire who dresses like a child. Don�t call her freaky.�
Adam: �Just because you�re a vampire doesn�t mean you have to smell like the undead. One word, Mitch: deodorant.�
Despite no appearances from McNair and Tom, more hints of Mitchell�s death by werewolf came with a fantasy sequence news announcement. In better news, he managed to bag another cleaning job.
Richard (to George/Nina): �You may not understand our little arrangement here but at least accept that it works.�
Who was that hand that we saw at the end of the episode? I don�t remember anyone being turned in this episode.
George: �Did you just realise that I�m zipping up my coat and going back there?�
Nina: �Yeah and I�m coming with you.�
Richard (re George/Nina): �These are not your people. These animals ...�
Adam: �Yeah, tell it to someone who gives a shit.�
I couldn�t find any of the music credits for this episode and not much time has passed since �Lia�. Annie mentioned a day or something.
�Adam�s Family� isn�t as good as the opening episode but it�s certainly a nice set up for the character and his online spin-off and while the Mitchell/Annie bits were a little disappointing, I think George and Nina more than made up for it.

Indonesian Pop Star Nasriel Irham Sentenced To Over 3 Years in Prison For Sex Tapes Scandal
According to the Jakarta Globe newspaper, Irham was found guilty of distributing pornographic materials on the Internet. He has been under custody since he surrendered himself to authorities in June 2010.
Irham, 29, was charged under Indonesia�s 2008 Anti-Pornography Law for two separate homemade sex tapes involving his current girlfriend, TV presenter Luna Maya, 27 and actress Cut Tari, 33, known for her roles in Indonesian soap operas.
Approximately 1,000 demonstrators from the Alliance of Islamic Movements gathered outside the Bandung District Court and threw rotten eggs and tomatoes at the pop singer as he arrived.
The Bandung Police Headquarters deployed one thousand officers to secure the hearing. TV celebrity Luna Maya was in attendance as well as a group of Indonesian artists including legendary singer and song writer Titiek Puspa, rock star Achmad Albar and musician Melly Goeslaw.
The pop star was found guilty and sentenced to 42 months of imprisonment (3.5 years). The prosecution demanded a sentence of 5 years. In addition Irham, was ordered to pay a $ 28,000 fine.
Irham, frontman for Indonesian music group �Peterpan,� has been dubbed by various media outlets as �Peterporn,� as the scandal has stirred Indonesians nationwide.
Venus Raj To Co-Host 'Umagang Kay Ganda'
This is a dream come true for Venus who long dreams of becoming a TV and radio talk-show host.
Venus announced that she is set to be included in ABS-CBN's "Umagang Kay Ganda" starting next week. She can't contained her excitement while unveiling her special role in the morning show.
"Mondays to Thursdays, makikita niyo ako sa loob ng studio at kapag Friday sa mga barangay. Maraming bago ang dadating next week," she said.
Meantime, Venus also admitted that she had a hard time adjusting to the early wake-up calls.
"Grabe ang saya kasi kahit ang aga-aga, 'yung staff ang tataas ng energy nila. 'Pag nandun ka na, lahat sila buhay na buhay, walang reason para antukin. Sobrang taas ng energy nila kaya matutuwa ka na rin sa ginagawa mo," Venus said.
Doctor Who - NTA Sketch
Directed by Richard Senior
Dermot O�Leary: �I�ve missed the National Television Awards. I�m an idiot.�
The Doctor: �Can I help?�
Can you go back to last Wednesday and stop Waterloo Road from scooping best drama because that would be a tonic and a bit? Um, bitterness aside, this proved to be one sketch too many.
Maybe it�s because most of the TV personalities who contributed to it are ones that annoy me or maybe it�s because I don�t ever want to think of Amanda Holden being Prime Minister or Becky MacDonald being the Doctor�s future wife. Either way, this three and a half minute sketch struck a bum note.
Dermot O�Leary � nice bloke but sort of bland and not really all that great an NTA host. Similarly wasn�t that great in this either, I�m afraid. As for Matt Smith, I was kind of embarrassed for him with this one. Even if this had been a Children In Need sketch, it still wouldn�t have worked so well.
On the plus side, it doesn�t last that long, still is nowhere near as bad as Dimensions In Time and we did get to see a new outfit for the 11th Doctor but aside from that, it just didn�t gel all that much.
- There were mentions of canaries in mine shafts before Dermot had to meet Bruce Forsyth.
- Is it wise to have a top rated BBC show slag off the BBC itself?
- Dermot O�Leary, okay he did look nice in that tuxedo but I still didn�t find him that great an NTA host.
- Shame about Matt Smith losing out to David Jason but at least he had worthy competition in one of his categories.
A bit overblown but I think some people will have enjoyed this one more than me. I expect a better sketch/missing scene for Children In Need or Comic Relief this year though.

Chaning Tatum Pictures
Channing Tatum was born in a small town called Cullman, outside of Birmingham, Alabama. Growing up, he was full of energy and somewhat troublesome, so his parents decided to enroll him in different sports such as track and field, baseball, soccer, and football to keep him out of trouble. In the ninth grade he was sent to catholic school. It was there that he discovered his passion for football and his hopes became centered on earning an athletic college scholarship. Channing's goal was finally met, and in his senior year in high school, he was recruited and earned a full athletic college scholarship to a school in West Virginia.
Tatum is also skilled in Kung Fu and in Gor-Chor Kung Fu, a form of martial arts, in which he has earned belts in both. Channing later left college and, in the meantime, worked as a construction worker, a stripper, a mortgage broker and salesman. He has modeled for Abercrombie & Fitch, Nautica, Gap, Aeropostale, Emporio Armani, and has been featured in television commercials for American Eagle, Pepsi, and some very popular mountain dew commercials.
Channing can be seen on the big screen as a featured actor in Coach Carter (2005), in which he plays a high school basketball player. He was also in the very popular TV series "CSI: Miami" (2002) where he played the role of Bob Davenport.

Rant #434: Two Comics Not Standing
Two comedians who reached the zenith of their craft in the late 1960s and early 1970s passed away last week.
David Frye was one of the top impressionists in the country, but was forever linked with Richard Nixon. During the Watergate era, he reached the pinnacle of success with his dead-on impressions of the scandal-ridden President.
He had everything down pat. The facial mannerisms, the way Nixon talked, everything. He was perhaps Nixon's greatest impersonator.
He had several best-selling record albums centering on his impressions of Nixon.
After several years at the top, Frye fell just as quickly as Nixon did.
He was so inextricably tied in with Nixon that when the President resigned and lived the solitary life for the rest of his life, Frye's career waned. He did other impressions, but none as well as Nixon.
He continued to perform, but was not the presence he once was--he was basically the Vaughn Meader of his day.
Charlie Callas is another story.
Callas began his entertainment career as a drummer, but the way he looked--wiry build, tall and lanky, almost like a human rubber band--made him the focus of the bands he was in.
His fellow musicians noticed that Callas had a knack for comedy anyway, and encouraged him to trade in his drumsticks for a microphone.
And he did to great acclaim.
When he wasn't appearing on The Ed Sullivan Show or on The Tonight Show or on every other major entertainment show of the 1960s and 1970s, he was drawing big crowds in Las Vegas.
He also appeared in a number of movies, never the star, but you knew he was in the movie by his presence.
Since the 1980s, he did mainly standup, and his star faded from television as the talk show faded. He was among the veteran comics who were basically squeezed out by the in-your-face, newer comics.
But he kept performing into the early 2000s, and had been in semi-retirement when he passed.
Both Frye and Callas left excellent legacies behind. Anyone who mimics a President has to take a listen to Frye's comedy albums, while rubbery comic actors like Jim Carrey certainly owe a debt of gratitude to Callas.
May they both rest in peace.
Column; Willem van Hanegem
Zaterdag heb ik Mario Been gebeld en gezegd dat ik er bij nader inzien van afzie om de duels van Feyenoord 'goed te bekijken' en daarna met de technische staf eventueel te bespreken. Ik had geen goed gevoel bij dat aanbod. Ik kijk altijd goed naar wedstrijden, daar begint het al mee. En dan die vrijblijvendheid, het voelde gewoon niet goed.
Het heeft er bovendien alle schijn van alsof Mario iets opgedrongen is en dat is het laatste wat ik wil, eerlijk gezegd. Het moet op vriendschappelijke en tegelijk gelijkwaardige basis gebeuren, zoiets; voetbalmensen onder elkaar. Dat zijn we toch! Met wederzijds respect alsjeblieft.
Ik word heel erg moe van de politiek in en om het voetbal en merk nu dat dat verdorie binnen mijn eigen club ook aan de gang is. Belangen, eigenbelangen, clubbelangen, ik vind dat heel ingewikkeld. Het gaat toch maar om ��n ding; de club Feyenoord.
Ik vind het ook jammer dat Mario in het openbaar zijn irritatie heeft prijsgegeven over het feit dat ik in het AD heb gezegd waar we het over gehad hebben op de golfbaan. Ongelooflijk. Waar ging het over? Ik had niet mogen zeggen dat hij een uitsmijter en ik een kroket op heb. Misschien is hij wel op dieet, dan begrijp ik zijn kritiek nog, anders niet.
Ik kan niet zo goed met die overgevoeligheid overweg. Ik raak zelf ook wel eens ge�rriteerd over iemand of over wat iemand over me zegt. Natuurlijk, maar daar moet je in dit geval geen al te groot punt van maken toch?
De kritiek binnen de top van Feyenoord op mijn columns vind ik volledig misplaatst. Mario is daar vorige week ook over begonnen. Waar gaat het over? Toen hij bij NEC trainde, heb ik meermalen geschreven dat Feyenoord eens over hem moest nadenken. In zijn eerste anderhalf jaar bij Feyenoord heb ik hem steeds, en terecht, positief bejegend. Dat doe ik eigenlijk nog steeds wel.
Ik heb Feyenoord ook altijd rustig behandeld, zoals ik alle andere ontwikkelingen in en rond clubs en bij het Nederlands elftal altijd afstandelijk benader. Ik raak niet zo snel opgewonden en heb geen dubbele agenda. Maar nu eindelijk, na ook de 10-0 bij PSV graag met de mantel der liefde te hebben bedekt, begon de sfeer bij Feyenoord me tegen te staan. Ik heb vooral gezegd dat je jezelf niet kleiner moet maken dan je bent en dat er meer uit die spelersgroep te halen is. Mag dat alsjeblieft? Ik miszeg daar niets mee.
Daarnaast heb ik altijd de achterban opgeroepen rustig en normaal te blijven doen. Dat deed ik vorige week en dat doe ik nu bij deze weer en ik heb de indruk dat de grote massa bij Feyenoord mij nog steeds een beetje serieus neemt. Echte Feyenoorders steunen de club en gasten die stiekem via sms'jes medewerkers van de club bedreigen, die maken diezelfde club kapot. Figuren die dat doen, moeten opgespoord en aangegeven worden.
Voor het overige blijf ik Feyenoord steunen en roep ik alle ex-spelers van de club op om hetzelfde te doen, op welke manier dan ook.
Voor het voetbal in de eredivisie was het een vervelend weekeinde. Het geploeter van PSV, dat dankzij de medewerking van de arbitrage nipt thuis van Willem II wist te winnen, was meelijkwekkend om te zien, maar nog niet het ergste. Het vertrek van Su�rez is pas echt treurig. Ik zal hem missen. Ik houd van het temperament van Argentijnen en Uruguayanen. Su�rez maakte in zijn eentje de eredivisie strijdbaarder, iedere tegenstander werd kwaad op hem.
Dat soort mannen hebben we hier nodig. Daarom vind ik het niet gek dat Ajax die kleine Mertens bij FC Utrecht wil weghalen. Hij lijkt qua mentaliteit erg op Su�rez; ook zo'n voortreffelijke voetballer, net zo'n serpent met zijn kleine overtredingen en zijn geduikel.
Hij moet nog iets beter worden, maar ik geloof wel in dat ventje. Ik weet nog dat ze bij FC Utrecht, toen Mertens nog bij AGOVV voetbalde, twijfels hadden over hem, hoofdscout Nol de Ruiter met name. Ik moet zeggen dat Mertens mij ook heeft verrast in zijn ontwikkeling.
Compliment dus voor de technische staf van FC Utrecht. Ze bewijzen met de verbetering van Mertens dat als je goed met een jongen aan de slag gaat, hem vertrouwen geeft, dat er iets heel moois uit kan ontstaan. Zowel qua voetbal als wat de financi�n betreft. Straks betaalt Ajax misschien wel zes of zeven miljoen voor die kleine, zou mooi zijn, toch?
