Stella McCartney blasts Tom Ford
STELLA MCCARTNEY'S SCUFFLE WITH FORD
STELLA MCCARTNEY has blasted designer TOM FORD for giving her unwanted beauty advice. The fashion designer was unimpressed when the fellow clothesmaker tried to give her a style overhaul - because gruelling cosmetic regimes aren't her thing. She says,
"Tom Ford once told me that I should highlight my hair and do my eyebrows, and got all camp on me and I told him to go away. "I'm just not that kind of woman. I've nothing against that kind of woman, it's just not a priority and I don't have the time."

Waiting for Stella McCartney at Target
The workings of the brain help explain why some people just can't stop spending.
Women desperate for a piece of the Stella McCartney for Target collection lined up for hours on the morning of the March 12 launch, before storming the stores and stripping the mannequins. Some spent thousands of dollars on the budget range.
However, after the initial frenzy was over, many shoppers were left with a sizeable retail hangover. Weeks after the launch, hundreds of clothes had been returned to Target, and racks of garments hung listlessly in city stores. Online auction house eBay has been flooded with people trying to sell unwanted Stella McCartney for Target items, but now the flurry is well and truly over: almost half haven't sold.

Putting a price on memories of the Fab 4 (or 5 )
May 8 2007
by Sarah Chapman, Liverpool Echo
IT could be Beatles for sale after fans of the Fab Four raided their attics for rare pieces of memorabilia.
Previously undiscovered treasures such as a book signed by a 15-year-old John Lennon and love letters from “fifth Beatle” Stuart Sutcliffe were taken along to a valuation event at the Albert Dock.
Valuer Jason Cornthwaite carried out free valuations with Paul Wane.
He said a steady stream of around 100 people came through the doors on Sunday and yesterday clutching records, autographs, paintings and photographs.
“There was a school textbook which had been signed by John Lennon in 1955 and that was valued at £1,250.
“A man came in with a dictionary which was signed by George Harrison and we also saw a card which belonged to John Lennon when he was in the RAF Cadets.
“The most valuable thing we’ve looked at were Beatles autographs signed at the Grafton in 1962 and they’re worth £1,800.”
Stuart Sutcliffe, who died in 1962, was studying at Liverpool College of Art.
She said: “Stuart wrote me love letters which also contain poems for me.
“They are very personal and the valuer has been the first person who’s ever read them apart form me, so it has been a bit strange.”

Hard day's light for Beatle Hotel
May 11 2007
by Catherine Jones, Liverpool Echo
THE opening date for Liverpool’s new £18m Hard Day’s Night hotel is in the balance over a power supply crisis.
Owners of the Beatle-themed hotel in North John Street say Scottish Power has run into difficulties supplying electricity despite an agreement signed a year ago.
The power company needs to access cables in nearby Harrington Street.
But that means digging through new paving and concrete laid as part of the £73m City Centre Movement Strategy. There have also been fears the work could leave other businesses in the area without power for several days.
The restaurant will be a focal point in the Hard day's night hotel
The hotel says unless the problem is resolved within the next three weeks, their planned October launch is in doubt.
Jimmy Tyrer, of developers Bowdena, said: “We’ve had the electricity substation in the basement since last year, and in January we were given a date in March to get the power supply up and running.
“It was only when that didn’t happen that we found out about this problem.
“There’s a massive amount of work going on inside the building. However, we can’t finish anything until the power is sorted out.
“With this problem hanging over us we can’t start hiring people or taking bookings.
“We don’t want to apportion blame. We just want everyone to work together and try to sort this out.”
Scottish Power today promised it would sort the problem out.
A spokeswoman said: “We’ve been working closely with the city council over this issue.
“The reason for the delay is a need to ensure we comply with health and safety guidance when working in the Harrington Street area and excavating in the vicinity of live cables.
“This area has been resurfaced with a reinforced concrete sub base to support the new granite footway.
“We’ve looked at alternative locations to provide a connection to the hotel and have selected a revised position in North John Street, which we expect to be completed within the timescales expected, enabling the hotel to open on schedule.”
