Italian-born photographer Willy Rizzo, who took celebrated photos of figures ranging from Marilyn Monroe to Sir Winston Churchill, has died in Paris aged 84. Rizzo was so famous as a chronicler of the dolce vita of the 1950s that he was satirically immortalised as paparazzo Walter Rizotto in Tintin creator Herges The Castafiore Emerald . His works appeared in leading magazines such as Paris Match and Life and his subjects included Salvador Dal, Brigitte Bardot, Gene Kelly, Gregory Peck, Maria Callas, Marlene Dietrich, Jack Nicholson and Jane Fonda. Rizzo was married to Italian film star Elsa Martinelli and also launched a furniture line inspired by Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier. He was artistic director of Marie Claire in the late 1950s. He also covered the Nuremberg trials after the Second World War. Rupert Christiansen, the Telegraph Opera Critic, once wrote of Rizzo's dance photography that: "Rizzo took dance classes as a child and he seems to understand the art f...

We never imagined this to ever happen, but it did. Super Juniors Eunhyuk and IU were caught wearing the same Marilyn Monroe outfits when the brand new teaser for IUs upcoming KBS drama, Youre the Best, Lee Soon Shin aired on TV. In the teaser, IU donned a short blond wig and the trademark Marilyn Monroe white dress, while reenacting the famous Monroe action. In 2012, Super Juniors Eunhyuk was forced to wear the same costume when he lost a bet with the other members. Upon arriving at Incheon International Airport from Indonesia, Eunhyuk flaunted his sexiness with bright red lips, a drawn-in beauty mark, and his hairy legs in front of all the fans that arrived to see the spectacle. Both stars managed to pull off the Monroe look in their own special ways, but who do you think made the better Marilyn Monroe? IU or Eunhyuk?

Though meticulously planned, film's most important night of the year rarely goes off without a hitch. When you get too many of Hollywood's biggest names in a room, there's bound to be some mayhem. Here are the 10 worst Oscar moments of all time. 10. James Franco and Anne Hathaway host the Oscars James Franco and Anne Hathaway are great actors, but the two didnt make such great Oscar hosts in 2011. They were called boring, spectacularly bad and the like by critics across the board. The worst moment of the night came when Franco dressed up as Marilyn Monroe, pretty much guaranteeing that he would never again host the awards show. 9. Jack Palance shows us he can do push ups Jack Palance had already showed the world he was the best supporting actor out there in 1992, so he decided to show off his strength when he took the Oscars stage to accept the award.

Article updated: 2/15/2013 12:43 PM Marilyn Monroe is alive and well and living in an apartment in Palatine. She doesn't go by the name of Norma Jean, though. It's Sheri Winkelmann. Photos View 5 photos Advertisement A Shakespearean actor at heart, Winkelmann started impersonating Marilyn in small increments, mostly singing telegrams. But the demand for her performances forced her to expand into a full-hour show. She admits she looks more like a comedic Phyllis Diller impersonating Marilyn Monroe than Monroe herself. "People love Marilyn. It brings back such good memories, a good time, a more innocent time," Winkelmann says. Winkelmann, who started her own company called Wink Productions, also does a spot-on Connie Francis and performs as Madonna. All the training Winkelmann had from her New York theater days, where she developed her love for the craft, helps her with the Marilyn Monroe persona, which is the most popular. She says men and women alike hire her as Ma...

ANDOVER, Mass., Feb. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Diamonds may no longer be just a girl's best friend. Sixty years after Marilyn Monroe's musical ode to them, the military is showing interest in the synthetic version of these classic gems. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130214/NE60595 ) Sheets of laboratory-grown diamond, combined with the semiconductor gallium nitride (GaN), could someday become the core of future-generation radar, communications and electronic warfare systems. Such components could save huge amounts of electricity, space and fuel. "Diamonds aren't just pretty," said Ralph Korenstein, who runs Raytheon's diamond laboratory in Andover, Mass. "They have a practical use. You can see farther, you can get more power." Raytheon's "diamond mine" lies deep inside the Integrated Air Defense Center, the sprawling factory 20 miles northwest of Boston that produces some of Raytheon's best-known products, including th...

Sex goddess. Movie star. Troubled soul. Guy Rocha, retired Nevada state archivist, will talk about Marilyn Monroe's complexities and her links to Nevada in a Valentine's Day lecture at 10 a.m. Thursday at the Sierra Place senior residence. Monroe is an American film icon who is arguably misunderstood by the general population. We know her as a sex goddess. The people who knew her most knew she was more, Rocha said, adding, Those of us who get to know her see how complex and tortured she was. Rocha's lecture will shed light on the conflicted and complex actress who still captures our imagination. I'll talk about the loves of her life, which are many, Rocha said, and the dysfunction in her life, the choices she made. Monroe had a troubled childhood that's believed to have fueled her troubled relationships with men and, ultimately, her abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs. She wanted to have a good life, but she wanted to be a sex symbol, Rocha said. One undermines ...

Carl Rollyson calls Sylvia Plath the "Marilyn Monroe of modern literature" in his new book, "American Isis." With the 50th anniversary of Plath's death almost here (Feb. 11), Rollyson's book is one of two new looks at Plath. He'll discuss the poet at 7 p.m. tonight at Left Bank Books , 399 North Euclid Avenue. Plath, separated from her husband, poet Ted Hughes, killed herself at age 30 while her children slept in their London flat. In a live chat last month with the London Guardian , Rollyson, a journalism professor and the author of dozens of books, said that Plath's beauty wasn't the only part of her appeal: "If Plath were alive today, I believe we would be talking about her. Her work was getting stronger and stronger. Her creativity might have flagged, of course, but I suspect she would have produced several important novels and perhaps more poetry." When she died, she'd published one book of poetry, "The Colossus and Other ...

At seven years old, I desired nothing more than a Marilyn Monroe doll. It was a scaled-down Monroe in the evening gown she wore for Diamonds Are a Girls Best Friend, which was made from shocking pink satin with rhinestones adorning her plastic, wanton figure. Every asset of this figurine enamored me, and I just knew that when I grew up, I wanted to be just like her. I wanted to dress like she did, date men like she did, and smoke cigarettes like she did. But guess what? So did Anna Nicole Smith, and that didnt work out too well for her. That year, I asked my grandmother if I could have the coveted Marilyn Monroe doll for my birthday. Sorry Syd, I just dont want you having a doll of someone like her. My doll was being denied to me because of her ethically questionable character, perhaps in some last attempt at making me into a wholesome young lady. Or something. Her shtick was based not only on her hair, but also her capricious, unserious, ditsy nature, creating a stereotype for many bl...
