Did Britney make a death threat?

Britney Spears has been accused of threatening two photographers after they took pictures of her leaving a Vegas spa last week. Spears's bodyguard was involved in a scuffle with two paparazzos at the Wynn Las Vegas hotel when the popstar allegedly yelled, "I am going to kill you!" at one of the photogs. Cesar Julia Camera, Spears's strongarm, is accused of throwing one of the photographers to the ground and punching and kicking him until pulled off by security. Afterward, Spears allegedly threw a baby bottle at the downed man. According to a statement by the photogs' lawyers, Spears made the threat in front of several hotel guests and bystanders and advised the paparazzo to get a restraining order because she was going to kill him or hire someone to do so.

Office Fashion: Suits II

So you know how the last suit post was devoted to one button suit jackets? Well, the lack of variety was because I've felt a sort of negative feeling towards multiple button suits, on women anyway.
They just give me the image of being too old and formal, as in above from Brothers and Sisters with the suit the member of the senator's team (sorry I forgot her name) and Sally Field is wearing. They don't look bad on them, but just not what I'd want to look like yet. Maybe its the shoulder pads...
And lets face it, multiple button suits are just not presented very well either. Especially not the suit from Jones NY Collection (right) here. The Theory Rory suit (left) is better, but it still does not look very flattering on the model.
So I was ready to put the axe on multiple button suit jackets. But then, I found these very chic multiple buttoned suit jackets from Zac Posen (left) and Gucci (right). And I had to rethink my theory.
I mean, look how nice Rachel Griffiths and Patricia Wettig looked with their multiple buttoned suit jackets on Brother's and Sisters. After staring at these photos, I think the thing that bugged me most about the usual multiple buttoned suit jackets is the shoulder pads, more sparsely placed buttons and longer length. So if you get it sans shoulder pads and divide it, like Rachel has done here with the belt...
...Or got something shorter and more proportional and fitted like these two here from Laundry by Shelli Segal (left) and Semantiks (right), then it should look just as sexy and chic as the one button suit.
More options from the high street from J Crew (left) and Express (right).

Louis Vuitton Fashion Show SS 2008

Earlier with blue sea, and now with blue skies............... The Theme "Blue skies, smiling at me, nothing but blue skies…" Irving Berlin's golden oldie anticipated the dominant color on the men's catwalks for Spring 2008, and the joie de vivre he was describing when he penned the lyric seems to be have infected the season—first in Milan, and now Paris. Paul Helbers, Marc Jacobs' menswear maestro at Louis Vuitton, launched the label's latest presentation with a passage that was cheery blue, from cap to carryall.
