Michael Jackson may have preferred designer duds from the likes of Givenchy and Balmain, but for his clothing line collaboration, he made the peculiar choice of Christian Audigier. The late King of Pop had created looks that were obviously influenced by his sartorial classics: red Thriller type jacket, bedazzled gloves and military inspired wear.

[...] Anna Wintour on the Late Show with David Letterman last night. The “ice queen” actually came off semi-approachable and threw in some (practiced?) humor. She poked fun at her reputation by telling Letterman that Vogue isn’t “only run by senior citizens.” On her reputation she brought a few chuckles by saying, “I read in the New York Times this week that I’m an ice queen, I’m the sun king, I’m an alien fleeing from District 9 and I’m a dominatrix.
