At 75, Diane Keaton proves that ageless style really does exist

Diane Keaton: Lockdown style iconoclast? Last week, images of the Academy Award winner wearing an oversized white button-down shirt, snakeskin-look thigh-high stiletto boots and a long silver wig went viral. That look was a costume, worn by Keaton in character on the set of Mack & Rita. Apparently it’s a Freaky Friday-ish film in which a 30-year-old woman named Mackenzie is magically transformed into Keaton’s 65-year-old Rita. The outfit drew attention for its audacity (snakeskin stiletto boots? in a pandemic??) as much as for the woman wearing it (those legs!). But for Keaton, 75, the look was just the latest entry in a life filled with epic outfits. She’s one of the few women who have managed to maintain and evolve a consistent style for decades. As a result, over her more than forty years in the public eye, Keaton’s all-time most stylish character has been herself. The Diane Keaton look comes down to monochromatic menswear-inspired tailoring, directional trousers, lampshade skirts, chunky boots – and hats galore. In 2019, she started posting selfies to her Instagram feed, accompanied by all-caps captions lauding the near-magical powers of specific clothing items.

Trump adviser Giuliani asks judge to throw out $1.3 billion lawsuit over his 'big lie' election claims

Donald Trump's former personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani asked a judge on Wednesday to throw out a voting machine company's $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit relating to his false claims about the November 2020 presidential election being rigged. Giuliani's lawyer said in a court filing that Dominion Voting Systems' lawsuit should be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, and because the company has not adequately justified its request for money damages. The filing said Giuliani denies defaming Dominion, adding that the former New York City mayor would present a more forceful defense on the merits if his jurisdictional arguments are rejected by the federal judge in the District of Columbia who is assigned to the case.

Alabama secretary of state admits affair, denies calling Black people 'the coloreds,' drops Senate bid

Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill (R) said Wednesday morning that he did not have an extramarital affair, claiming that the woman who alleged otherwise, Cesaire McPherson, was "stalking" and "harassing" him. When AL.com played Merrill a recording of him and McPherson discussing various sexual acts they performed over dozens of encounters, Merrill acknowledged the affair and said he will not make an expected run for the Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.). "It's clear that I had an inappropriate relationship with her, and it is not something that I am proud of or something that is something that — I'm very disappointed in myself," Merrill told AL.com. "I will obviously not be a candidate for the United States Senate nor will I be seeking any other elected position in 2022." Merrill, in office since 2014, was term-limited out of seeking a third term. Conservative Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) and Lynda Blanchard, President Trump's ambassador to Slovenia, are both expected to run for Shelby's seat. McPherson, 44, had provided explicit text messages with Merrill to the conservative website National File on Tuesday, then gave a 17-minute audio recording to AL.com, which posted an excerpt. "I don't want to say anything other than here's the proof that John Merrill is a liar," she told AL.com. "Here's the true John Merrill." In a long interview with National File, McPherson said Merrill used his state car and state cellphone to carry on their affair, and also that he's a "real bad racist" who would refer to Black people as "the coloreds." The Alabama Democratic Party highlighted those allegations. "With the exception of the use of state resources to facilitate his affair, Merrill's personal life and conduct are just that — personal," said Wade Perry, state party executive director. "The Democratic Party is much more concerned about the allegation that he regularly referred to African American judges and citizens in Alabama as 'The Coloreds.' If true, he must apologize AND resign immediately." Merrill said it's not true, telling AL.com Wednesday night he "never referred to African Americans and Black folks as coloreds," adding: "I don't do that. I've never done that." Regarding the use of state resources, he said he doesn't "have any other things to say about this particular incident, now or in the future."

Apple employees knew that if Steve Jobs turned off his iPhone, it meant one thing

Most of us, when we think of late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, probably fixate on the stereotype of him as a detail-obsessed quasi-workaholic, whose near-mania when it came to the seemingly tiniest details brought about world-changing products like the iPhone and helped Apple became the most valuable company in the world. But Jobs' former executive assistant Naz Beheshti paints a different picture of her old boss in her new book Pause. Breathe. Choose: Become the CEO of Your Well-Being. Focused largely on her wellness coaching practice, she also sprinkles the book with nuggets about the mercurial Apple chief executive who prodded Apple to generate a string of hit products like the Mac, iPod, iPhone, and iPad, who was known for melting down when employees didn't live up to his standards -- and who seems to also have put a premium on quiet time, where he could take a mental break, uninterrupted by the demands of being a CEO. Such that, on the rare occasions when he turned off his iPhone, Apple employees seem to have had a good idea of where that meant Jobs was hiding away: In the office of Jony Ive, Apple's former head of design, where he'd be dreaming about the future and playing with mockups and prototypes that Jobs often referred to as his "toys." “I quickly discovered what playtime looked like for Steve Jobs, and how it was one of the keys to his success as a great innovator," Beheshti writes. "Whenever someone was looking for Steve, or whenever he could not be reached on the phone, there was only one place he would almost unerringly be found: In the office of Jony Ive, Apple’s former chief of design officer.” Along these same lines, Beheshti told CNBC that the mythos of Jobs as a tyrannical taskmaster obsessed with work has been overblown, to a degree. He meditated daily, she points out, "maintained strong relationships," and engaged in regular physical activity -- the latter presumably a reference to the walks he often took that frequently included engaging in long conversations with people. But it's his penchant for carving out time to essentially hang out with Ive and his team that's particularly interesting, and even germane to the constant connectivity that many of us feel in the coronavirus era, with the traditional lines between work and home life more blurry than ever. Even one of the most successful, wealthiest business figures of all time, it seems, recognized the need to make clean breaks from work, to recharge and re-calibrate. “We would lose our minds trying to get in touch with him, trying to get him to his meetings," Beheshti writes in her book. "At some point, we would have to call Jony’s office and enlist his help in dragging Steve away from his playtime … His time with Jony gave him the space and occasion to laugh, imagine, create, and feel a renewed sense of freedom.”
