KATIE HOLMES makes her first public appearance since her divorce,lands another new job
Looking effortlessly stylish in a black button-down shirt and a shimmery gold skirt with beading around the waist, the 33-year-old was on hand at the Style Awards at Lincoln Center on Wednesday night to present Carolina Herrera with the designer of the year award. At the event, which helped kick off New York Fashion Week, Holmes happily posed for photos with Herrera, chatted up "Smash" star Katharine McPhee, and hugged actress Amy Adams. People magazine reported that Holmes "seemed like she was in a great mood" at the awards show. "Everybody knows she loves fashion, so she was happy to be here."

Holmes' presence at New York
Fashion Week will be much greater this weekend when she and her longtime
stylist, Jeanne Yang, hold their first formal presentation for their
Holmes & Yang line. The event, which will take place Sunday, is
expected to be quite a big deal and will be held at "the tents" in
Lincoln Center, which are often reserved for the more seasoned
designers. In a new interview with WWD, Holmes, who started the
line with Yang in 2008, said the two decided to do a formal
presentation this year "because the brand is growing and expanding … We
thought we would have something a little more substantial." The
now-single mom also appreciates that the job is family friendly. "When
Jeanne and I decided to do this — we're both mothers; our daughters are
very good friends — and I said, 'Jeanne, this has to be something that
we enjoy, because we want to do it with our girls here,'" she told the
paper.
Holmes, who reportedly walked
away from her marriage from Cruise with nothing other than "modest"
child support, has also inked a lucrative new deal to be the first
celebrity face of Bobbi Brown cosmetics, and in fall 2013 Holmes will
have her own collection for the brand. The deal came about eight weeks
ago — just after she was said to have "blindsided" Cruise by filing for
divorce. Brown said they met and quickly bonded over afternoon tea. "It
was, 'Oh, my God, you would be the perfect face for Bobbi,' Brown told WWD.
"We weren't looking for a celebrity, just a cool, amazing woman who
would fit with our brand. And she's just ridiculously naturally
beautiful." Holmes, who will appear in ad campaigns as well as in-store
displays for the line, joked: "I will be watching over every woman as
she buys her lipstick."

Also on the horizon is the
actress' return to Broadway. Four years after appearing in Arthur
Miller's "All My Sons," her latest project, "Dead Accounts," opens
November 29. "It's a medium I really enjoy," she told WWD of
the rigorous world of theater, which will require her to perform
nightly. "I'm a schedule person. I like to have a routine. You're also
very in touch with your audience — they're very much a part of the show,
which is obviously something you don't have in film. You get to know
people in a different way. The matinee audience is obviously very
different from the Saturday night audience. You learn about material —
you really start to understand what works and what doesn't. I think both
film and stage are so challenging, but in different ways. With film,
yeah, you have another take, but a lot of the time you're losing the
light, so you better nail it on that take. I haven't found any part of
acting to be easy."
That said, Holmes sure does appear to be acting quite happy with her
fun, full new life. And she won't allow the constant media attention
following her divorce get her down. "There are a lot of people with much
bigger problems and who are less fortunate," she told WWD. "I try to keep it all in perspective."#NICE...

CYNTHIA:POLICE RECOVERS 50 NUDE PICTURES......
The Area Commander, Damian Okoro, said, “The pictures are contained in a recovered black Compaq 610 laptop belonging to Nwabufor Okwuomo, one of the suspects who lured the deceased to Lagos.”
The laptop is also said to contain over 50 nude photographs of female victims who have fallen prey to the suspect.
Some of the photographs showed girls tied with rope and their mouths covered with cello tape with objects inserted in their private part.
Osokogu’s naked photographs also showed bites and wounds inflicted all over her.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation on Wednesday said it had concluded arrangements to sue the management of Cosmilla Hotel in Festac Town, Lagos, where Osokogu was murdered by ‘Black Berry friends’ over illegal operation.
The deceased was allegedly drugged, raped and dispossessed of her belongings and later killed.
The corporation also said it had issued a query to the management of the hotel to explain why had refused to register with it in accordance with laid-down rules and regulations.
A statement issued by NTDC’s Director of Communications, Mr. Akin Onipede in Abuja quoted the Director-General of the corporation, Chief Segun Runsewe as saying that would “file former charges against the management of Cosmilla Hotel for illegal operation since it was not registered with the corporation.”
He said, “The development which was confirmed by the Director General of the Corporation, Otunba Olusegun Runsewe revealed that a former query had been issued to the hotel to which it had replied.”
“According to Otunba Runsewe, the management of the Hotel has already admitted that they had not registered with the Corporation which showed that the hotel is operating illegally.”
Runsewe insisted that the law would be followed but added that the NTDC would not interfere in the ongoing investigation by the security agencies.
He said, “We will allow them (security agencies) to do their job after which we will go to court.”

LOUBOUTIN WINS RIGHT TO RED SOLES ON APPEAL
#Ilike...........
A US federal appeals court upheld Louboutin’s trademark of ‘China Red’ soles, contested after the luxury shoe designer sued Yves Saint Laurent over its introduction of a line of monochrome shoes, including an all-red style, in 2011.
Initially, a New York judge disputed the basis of Louboutin’s trademark and declined to grant an injunction against the sale of YSL’s shoes. The appeals process, particularly emotional for the designer, whose signature flourish was at risk, found that Louboutin has the right to protect the use of red soles, provided they contrast the rest of the shoe.
‘The District Court's conclusion that a single colour can never serve as a trademark in the fashion industry was based on an incorrect understanding of the doctrine of aesthetic functionality and was therefore in error,’ an appeals judge wrote.
The red outsole is ‘therefore a distinctive symbol that qualifies for trademark protection,’ the court added.
Unusually, both Louboutin and YSL portray the decision as a victory. YSL gets to continue retailing its mono-colour shoes, while Louboutin has been assured that mass retailers will not be permitted to copy its widely recognised soles.
‘We are extremely pleased and gratified that the Appellate Court found our key arguments to be correct: first that color can and does serve as a trademark in the fashion industry, and that Christian Louboutin’s world famous Red Sole trademark is valid, protectable and enforceable,' Louboutin said in a statement welcoming the decision.
‘As we have said throughout these proceedings and we reiterate now, especially in the light of this decision, we will continue to take all steps available to protect our trademark.’
