Rihanna’s cover issue of In Style Magazine - August, 2008


Sheryl Crow sings the national anthem before the Major League Baseball All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium in NYC
Sheryl Crow was mere hours away from singing the national anthem, and although she’s sung at big events before, the magnitude of performing the final anthem at the last All-Star Game to be played at the “House that Ruth Built” was not lost on the nine-time Grammy Award winner.
“I’m a big baseball fan, and this is very nerve-wracking, only because it’s a hard song to sing and it’s live,” Crow said. “But this is a very special occasion, with this being the last event at Yankee Stadium. It’s going to be exciting.”
The anthem is notorious for its tough high notes and has never been a favorite for anyone, regardless of how powerful the singer’s voice. Crow admitted singing the anthem is a challenge, but one she embraced. Plus, having performed the song before at a Mets-Yankees World Series game in 2000, she has some experience with big sporting events.
“This is such a big honor,” Crow said. “It’s the national anthem. Obviously, everybody knows it, but it’s a special song and it really does get the ballgame off to a start. So you want it to be powerful and full of feeling.”
Heidi Klum appeared on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien.” Conan was very interested in some of the tidbits Heidi revealed about her professional life.
Apparently, Heidi’s legs are insured, strangely enough, for different amounts. Conan joked that he’d love to be the guy who had the job of inspecting her legs after she mentioned that someone indeed does just that.
Better yet, Heidi informed Conan that there’s even a “body oiler” out there. His job is to “oil up” supermodels.
Heidi Klum is the hostess of “Project Runway”, a show that puts the spotlight on potential supermodels. Heidi says she has no sympathy for the girls who cry on the show. She says it’s her German breeding that has made he stoic and she can’t understand how the models can cry on national TV.

Rihanna is set to be the face of Gucci’s UNICEF campaign which will see special limited edition products sold to benefit the global children’s charity.
The 20-year-old Barbados native will appear in ads for the ‘Tattoo Heart’ campaign, after Frida Giannini saw her at a UNICEF fundraiser earlier this year, and sought her out to be a part of the drive to raise funds for children’s rights.
A special limited edition selection of Gucci products will be sold to support the charity, with 25 per cent of sales being donated.
Rihanna is no stranger to charity work, having set up her own charity in 2006 called The Believe Foundation.

The Hills hottie Lauren Conrad showed great style walking the black carpet as a guest at the world premiere of The Dark Knight at AMC Loews Lincoln Square, 68th Street and Broadway in New York City, Monday night, July 14, 2008.
