Before there was Anna Wintour, The Devil Wears Prada – and even ahead of the days when they put the ‘ super ‘ before the ‘ model ‘ – Diana Vreeland reigned as top fashion maven in the U.S. Naturally, the woman who “discovered” Lauren Bacall, launched Twiggy, advised Jackie O., partied with Mick Jagger and once said, “”The bikini is the most important thing since the atom bomb,” was ripe for a documentary. Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has To Travel heads to theaters later next month, but distributor Samuel Goldwyn gives a snapshot of Vreeland in the feature’s new trailer below. “You can see and feel the approaching revolution in clothes,” Diana Vreeland says in the trailer. Footage follows with praise and flashy images from high-style celebs and designers she influenced. The trailer also sneaks great scenes of her taking in New York night-life with a great shot of her taking a puff from a ciggy while chatting up Andy Warhol. “I wanted to get where the action was,” she said with a devilish smile. Journalist Bob Colacello recalls a great Vreeland quote: “You’re not supposed to give people what they want, you’re supposed to give them what they don’t know that they want yet.” The trailer also includes snappy tidbits from fashion designers Calvin Klein, Anna Sui, Diane von Furstenberg and a great little outburst from Manolo Blahnik. Synopsis: Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel is an intimate portrait and a vibrant celebration of one of the most influential women of the 20th century, an enduring icon whose influence changed the face of fashion, beauty, art, publishing and culture forever. During her fifty year reign as the “Empress of Fashion,” she launched Twiggy, advised Jackie O and coined some of fashion’s most eloquent proverbs such as “the bikini is the biggest thing since the atom bomb.” She was the fashion editor of Harper’s Bazaar where she worked for 25 years before becoming editor in chief of Vogue followed by a remarkable stint at the Met’s Costume Institute where she helped popularize its historical collections. The film, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival, is directed by Lisa Immordino Vreeland. Watch the trailer on YouTube .

The Jackson family feud has simmered down somewhat, but relations are still icy as four of Michael’s siblings are now banned from their mom’s house. Michael Jackson’s kids Prince, Blanket and Paris Jackson – subjects of a bizarre custody feud – are currently staying at Katherine Jackson’s L.A. home. The kids’ cousin and temporary guardian, T.J. Jackson, has been advised by lawyers for the Michael Jackson estate on who should not be allowed in . As such, Jermaine, Randy, Rebbie and Janet Jackson have been 86’d. T.J.’s lawyer Charles Shultz says he’s instructed the security team accordingly and his actions are “in compliance” with a judge’s orders, not arbitrary. Those on the not-allowed list were either present on July 23 “or in some way participated in the events surrounding that date,” Shultz stated. It was then that Jermaine, Randy and Janet Jackson arrived at Katherine’s home and allegedly tried to physically remove Prince, Paris and Blanket. Randy, Jermaine, Janet and sister Rebbie Jackson have been accused by some of being motivated by money to separate Katherine from the kids. Michael’s will, which left his estate to his children and provided an ample allowance to their guardian (Katherine), obviously stands in their way. Since Michael’s death in 2009, Katherine Jackson had been receiving a monthly allowance of $86,000 as guardian of Prince, Paris and Blanket. For the time being, that sum goes to T.J. Jackson. While the four siblings behind the failed family coup aren’t allowed at the house, Shultz said they aren’t forbidden from contact with their mother: “In addition, Mrs. Jackson is completely free to talk to whomever she chooses and is free to come and go with anyone whom she chooses.” Katherine Jackson was reported missing July 22, triggering the latest chapter of this bizarre saga. Her whereabouts at that time are still unclear. Just prior to that, five of Katherine’s kids sent a letter alleging their mother is being mistreated by the executors of Michael Jackson’s estate. This triggered rumors that they even staged her kidnapping, but separating truth from fiction in this particular story is a difficult task indeed. In any case, Friday, Katherine’s attorney, Perry Sanders, told the Los Angeles Times that the 82-year-old had reunited with her grandchildren. He said of her splitting custody with T.J.: “[Katherine] is eager to enjoy her great relationship with these children, while deeding over some of the stressors that go with being a guardian.” While Katherine was initially “devastated’ to lose guardianship, a family insider tells E! that T.J.’s temporary guardianship “is good news.” “It is not about taking [guardianship] from Katherine. They are trying to protect the kids from the other family. T.J. didn’t step in to remove her.” “He stepped in because she is not there,” the source adds of the 34-year-old son of Tito Jackson. “He is extremely tight with his grandmother.” While La Toya Jackson urged the family yesterday to come to a truce and put this behind them, don’t expect the bad blood to end soon.
Slamming NBC’s coverage of the Summer Olympics has become as much of a sport these days as swimming, archery or basketball. The network is not airing many key events as they happen. It’s even spoiling its very own primetime tapings by announcing the winner of various races earlier in the day. It’s a mess all around. But Jon Stewart has found a different reason to go off on NBC: its decision to cutaway from an Opening Ceremony tribute to the victims of the 7/7/05 bombing in London… in favor of an interview between Ryan Seacrest and Michael Phelps. Jon Stewart Slams NBC “You wouldn’t air a six-minute tribute to the rest of the world’s terror victims? Because the world’s most overexposed land-based mammal had a chance to speak to the world’s most overexposed water-based mammal?” Stewart asks in the clip above NBC has defended the decision by noting that it tailors the Olympics for an American audience, giving Stewart an easy target, considering the woeful ratings that network has endured for years: “You’re NBC! You don’t know how to tailor television for an American audience!” Point, Jon Stewart.

How is Connor Cruise reacting to the divorce of his father and Katie Holmes? The 17-year old subtly weighed in via Twitter a couple weeks ago, simply stating that family is forever . But might the split be affecting him more than initially let on? Or might Connor simply be acting like a a typically rebellious teenager? We pose those questions in light if Cruise’s latest Tweet, which is simply the word “Chopped” and the accompanying photo: Yes, Connor – who was adopted by Cruise and Nicole Kidman in 1995 and goes by the stage name DJ C-Squared – now rocks a mohawk with an intricate design shaved into the side of his head. What do you make of his new look? And does it have anything to do with his dad’s new status as a single man?
In the wake of today’s horrific Dark Knight Rises shooting in Colorado, Warner Bros. has chosen to pull the trailer for another movie out of theaters. The preview for Gangster Squad , which has been online since May and is posted below, was NOT played prior to this morning’s Batman feature and has NOT been attached to most of The Dark Knight Rises screenings around the country. Still, one scene does depict mobsters opening fire inside a movie theater and, with the spot scheduled to start running nationwide this weekend, the studio thought it was inappropriate to air at such a time.
