At first (or even second) glance, it's an unlikely pairing. He's the elegant, gentlemanly jazz icon who left his heart in San Francisco, singing classics from the Great American Songbook.   She's the dance-pop sensation known for flamboyant costumes (a meat dress, a Kermit the Frog jacket), fame-themed hits ("Paparazzi," "Applause"), and fan...

On a recent night on a desolate, far-west strip of the Meatpacking District, it's cold and dark — but inside Santina, it's summer on the Italian coast. Squint, and you could be on a cruise-ship deck: A squad of servers in bright teal, orange and purple polo shirts, white pants and Rod Laver sneakers roam the new, 100-seat restaurant with cheery ef...

Un elicottero da 30 milioni di euro, rigorosamente «Made in Italy». In vista del prossimo Natale, Lady Gaga ha deciso di fare le cose in grade. E si è fatta un super-regalo.

«Non mi interessa quanto successo possa avere, ma ricordo sempre che la mia famiglia è emigrata da questo Paese. Mia nonna vendeva vestiti per pochi spiccioli e mio nonno era un ciabattino.

by Fan Zhong   As New York style icons go, Cyndi Lauper ranks way up there. So it made sense for Barneys New York to cast her as one of the stylish personalities in its new "Our Town" campaign shot by Bruce Weber. (Lady Gaga and the downtown party promoter Ladyfag are among the others.)   A native of Queens, Lauper mourns the loss of...
