PERSON JOHN MAYER We have mixed feelings about John Mayer. On the one hand, he seems to have a wicked sense of humour. He's always up to entertaining antics such as pretending to order anti-fungal creams in front of the paparazzi, wearing the infamous neon green Borat bathing suit on a cruise and, now, attempting to bring back 1980s feathered hair à la Michael J. Fox ("I'm very excited to bring this amazing look into today's pop culture landscape," he blogged this week). But then he goes and writes lame songs and our laughter turns to tears.
PLACE MANAMA, BAHRAIN
Amid the usual suspects on AskMen.com's top 10 list of "sin cities" - Las Vegas, Rio, Tijuana - is a destination that will probably surprise many Canadians: Manama, Bahrain. The Middle Eastern city is described as "a popular spot for Saudis to kick back from their country's restrictive laws." The article praises the drinking and clubbing opportunities and mentions that prostitution, while illegal, is prevalent. So go on, what are you waiting for?
THING 'FETISH HEELS'
Gwyneth Paltrow has done it again. The woman who once made us grab up straightening irons has caused a run on "fetish" or "taxi" shoes - those with skinny heels six or even seven inches high - after parading them on red carpets while promoting Iron Man.
Selfridges in London, for one, is reporting a 35-per-cent spike in sales. Popular styles include Alexander McQueen's Languid shoes and Christian Louboutin's Pigalle stilettos - which sell for £600 ($1,200). And even at that price, gorgeous legs are not included.
