"Please do not send fan mail to any address you have," he said in a video message on his website. "Nothing will be signed after the 20th of October. If that is the date on the envelope, it's gonna be tossed. "I'm warning you with peace and love I have too much to do," the 68-year-old drummer said. Dressed in black clothes and dark glasses, Starr said it was "a serious message to everybody watching". He added: "No more fan mail and no objects to be signed. Nothing."

StellaMcCartney Paris - One fashion house that seems poised to ride out the current financial crisis is surely Stella McCartney, the London-based designer who staged a wittily tailored spring 2009 collection in Paris Thursday, Oct. 2, that was all about women raiding their boyfriends' wardrobe for clothes and inspiration. Silk jackets came long and loosely cut with mannish lapels, boyish shantung shirts appeared in combo with just knickers, as if each model had grabbed what they wanted out of their main squeeze's closet as they headed out to a gallery opening. And though the cut was large and roomy, Stella is also no slouch when it comes to tailoring, as one splendidly designed boiler suit meets men's tuxedo amply underlined. But in a show brimming with Stella's own brand of pop insouciance, the best looks were McCartney's dresses - either a series of mesh cocktails where summer scenes were applied with huge stencils or a flurry of nattily draped mini dresses with front petal folds. "I love what my little girl does, especially the dresses. They were so cool," opined Sir Paul McCartney, who sat front row, one block down from L'Wren Scott, stylist and gal pal of Mick Jagger, who was wearing her own clobber. Ironically, though the show was staged before a mammoth, 12,000 square-foot children's comic cloth backdrop by artist twins Jake and Dino Chapman, the collection was almost completely mono-color. But its flesh, sand and dusty blush hues were just right. The slick show came two weeks after Stella's latest savvy and commercially excellent exercise collection for adidas was unveiled to acclaim in London. And retailers, scores of whom packed into the Carreau du Temple exhibition space for McCartney's show, raved about her sell-through, her Russian agent bragging that he did $6 million wholesale volume last year. credit: emediaworld.co
