Wear Lennon's wardrobe

At a live online auction on October 29, you can bid for precious pieces from John Lennon's personal wardrobe. The white suit which John wore walking across the zebra crossing on the cover of Abbey Road, was at the time thought by some to be a mock preacher's outfit - further fuelling the bizarre rumour that Paul MacCartney was dead. The Beatles apparently did not dress specifically for the album cover shot, but were photographed in the outfits they wore to work in the studio that day. The white suit is expected to fetch around £80,000.

Also available from Californian company Julien's Auctions, is the brown embroidered jacket Lennon wore in the Imagine video. Made in France by Renamo, the two-buttoned jacket is estimated to go for around £10,000. John and Yoko's Austin Princess car which also features in the Imagine film of 1973 is also on sale and comes with the original registration documents signed by Lennon himself.

The togs along with other celebrity treasures including Marilyn Monroe's notebooks have been on a US/Japanese tour and can currently be seen at the Aladdin Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas until October 29.

In July this year at another auction, the jacket Lennon wore for the cover of Sgt. Pepper's was auctioned for £100,000. A portion of the proceeds from the forthcoming auction will go to Amnesty International USA.

Donna Karen's Tribute To Lynn Kohlman

Designer DONNA KARAN paid tribute to her "warrior" heroine on national TV in America on Friday (21OCT05), when she revealed all about former model LYNN KOHLMAN's double cancer hell.

The 1970s pin-up, who has been a creative consultant for Karan since quitting the modelling business, underwent a double mastectomy in 2002 after being diagnosed with breast cancer and then suffered another blow in 2003 when she developed brain cancer.

Kohlman was given just six months to live after suffering a seizure during a yoga session, but continues to amaze medics and friends like Karan with her fighting spirit.
The designer is such a fan of the former model's strength she asked pal OPRAH WINFREY if Kohlman could be included in an episode of her daily talk show which featured real-life heroes who fought back from the brink of death.

Karan told Winfrey on the show that her friend was a muse for her creations: "DKNY started off as masculine/feminine and I said, 'Lynn, you are DKNY!'"

Mario Testino Defends Kate Moss

Celebrity photographer MARIO TESTINO has defended supermodel KATE MOSS after her cocaine scandal lost her the respect and employment of several leading fashion houses.

Testino, who famously photographed late British royal DIANA, PRINCESS OF WALES, has slammed those who have written off the catwalk queen as, despite reports of her debauchery, she has always been dedicated and hardworking.

He says, "I know Kate very well and I don't think she's at all tormented, torrid, depressed.
"I have to say I'm not a witness to seeing her debauched or out of control.

"Maybe that was her moment and we just happened to see that moment and all of a sudden we're judging out of ten minutes the life of somebody and destroying it. I don't think life is so black and white.
