The late, great JACKIE WILSON is getting a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame Wednesday morning at 11:30 am (Pacific). Jackie's son, JOHN WILSON, will be accepting the honor and BERRY GORDY, MARSHALL THOMPSON of THE CHI-LITES and Walk of Famer SMOKEY ROBINSON will be speaking at the ceremony.
Wearing white after Labor Day: Guess what --there's nothing wrong with wearing white after Labor Day! In fact, most people nowadays don't even really recognize this so-called "rule" of fashion.
Apparently the no-white-after-Labor Day emerged in the early 20th century. That's a time period when very airy and light cotton dresses were extremely fashionable, and comfortable for hot summer weather --and a lot of laundry was done by hand.
Since the wealthy were more likely to be able to keep their whites looking clean during the winter, the No-White-After-Labor-Day rule sprung up. But people have been flouting it for decades, with creamier "winter white" shades in clothing being fairly common in winter wear by the 1970s. Now, white kashmir and wool sweaters or white wool pants in winter," can make a huge fashion statement.Now you can get Pumpkin Spice doughnuts. Krispy Kreme will have two of their fan-favorite doughnuts --the "Pumpkin Spice Original Glazed Doughnut" and a brand-new "Pumpkin Spice Original Filled Doughnut"-- in stores for one week only through Sep 08.
While the glazed doughnut is just a regular doughnut with the pumpkin spice glaze, the filled doughnut is a caloric extravaganza filled with cheesecake Kreme and decorated with cheesecake icing. You've been warned.And, as long as we're on the subject, Bruegger's Bagels have entered the Pumpkin Spice crusade with several items for the fall --a pumpkin bagel, along with pumpkin cream cheese and (of course) pumpkin spice coffee. You're welcome.
