San Miguel County commissioners invited Kilmer to a meeting Wednesday to explain comments published years ago in Rolling Stone and Esquire magazines.

Donna Karan Holiday concept- night music
When Donna Karan does resort wear, it's not so much about a mid-winter vacation in St. Tropez as a sultry evening on the town in her favorite city. Thus, her in-between season collection, which she presented in a runway show in her New York showroom on Friday, June 4, was dubbed Holiday 2010, rather than "Resort" or "Cruise." With slinky silhouettes inspired by "the sensuality of a tuxedo," said her program notes, she opened with a "platinum" chainmail plunging v-neck halter paired with a graphic black and silver wrap skirt and lean tuxedo jacket. Later, the tuxedo look was softened into a pajama-like suit of white semi-transparent trousers and silky wrap jacket with strong shoulders and extra-long sleeves, an idea she repeated elsewhere, perhaps her interpretation of the oversized look of a borrowed men's jacket. ... read more >>

The move puts an end to "seven fruitful years of creative partnership" and allows Gaultier "to concentrate on his own projects," the statement said.

The fans will never forget Michael
Sunflowers are now blooming outside Michael Jackson's crypt. Grower Jason Levin on Friday delivered up to 2,000 sunflowers to the massive marble and concrete Great Mausoleum at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale.

Hole launches US tour on respectable note
Courtney Love and the reconstituted Hole launched their U.S. tour Thursday in support of new album "Nobody's Daughter." After all the gossip-column headlines, paparazzi photos, detours into Hollywood and detox, it was good to see Love back where she belongs: onstage.Love has never been an amazing vocalist or musician, but she is a great rock star, loaded with charisma and swagger, and that was on full display during Hole's nearly hourlong set on the first of two sold-out nights at the Music Box at the Fonda in Hollywood. She's also unpredictable and ballsy. Not many artists would have the chutzpah to kick off a show with the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil," a song that's so closely associated with Jagger and Richards that few have the stones to cover it and even fewer can pull it off. ... read more >>
Ex-Imagine exec lands Disney prod'n deal
Jim Whitaker, a producer and former president of production at Imagine, has signed a first-look deal with Disney. It's the first new producer pact since Disney began a housecleaning on the lot under Rich Ross and new head of production Sean Bailey. Although it recently re-upped Mandeville Films and Television, the shingle behind last year's "The Proposal," Disney has been cutting back deals, as in the case of ImageMovers, or letting some producers go, like Scott Rudin, with whom it is in negotiations to end their deal early. Insiders said Ross and Bailey hope to bring fresher voices to its films by inviting a younger generation of producers to its lot. ... read more >>
