KATY DOES NYLON

In a new interview with Nylon Magazine Katy Perry talks about her break-through hit I Kissed A Girl:

KANYE'S COLDEST WINTER



Is Kanye West about to release a new album? Maybe! In the meantime, though, he’s tiding fans over with a video for “Coldest Winter,” from Nov. 2008’s 808s & Heartbreak.

West does not appear in the clip. Instead, there are a lot of shots of a scantily clad woman running through a dark forest while being pursued by creepy hooded figures.

Ski Slopes
The Ritz-Carlton Highlands in Lake Tahoe opens December 9.

This winter, three classic American hotels are coming to three classic American ski towns. Lake Tahoe hasn’t seen a big luxury resort open in decades, so the Ritz-Carlton Highlands (above) — with its 55-foot-tall stone fireplace and Traci Des Jardins’s restaurant Manzanita — is sure to liven things up. In Park City, Utah, the St. Regis Deer Crest Resort at Deer Valley brings butlers, Jean-Georges cuisine and a split-level infinity pool to 12 private acres of wilderness. And Snowmass, Colo., long overshadowed by glitzier Aspen, will finally get some dazzle of its own with the opening of Viceroy Snowmass, with interiors designed by Jean-Michel Gathy and the queen of the wow factor, Kelly Wearstler.
