Anna Wintour: Sunglasses Are My Armor

Anna Wintour revealed to Morley Safer on 60 Minutes that sunglasses are her armor. She says if she is wearing sunglasses then she can sit bored at a show and nobody will notice.

Wintour - who is the editor of US style bible Vogue - gets invited to numerous fashion shows for her job, so uses the glasses to hide her true feelings when she is unimpressed at what is being presented.

Safer and 60 Minutes cameras followed Wintour to the spring fashion shows in Milan, Paris and New York, where the sunglasses are especially handy she says. "They're seriously useful...I can sit in a show and if I'm bored out of my mind, nobody will notice," says Wintour. "And if I 'm enjoying it, nobody will notice….At this point they've become...really, armor."

But getting noticed is also part of who she is and what it means to be in command at Vogue magazine, the bible of high fashion, which provides her a yearly stipend for clothing rumored to be in the six figures. "It's very important to me to look good when I go out publicly. I like looking at my clothes rack in the morning and deciding what to pick out," she tells Safer. I enjoy fashion, Morley, I mean, I wouldn't be in this job if I didn't."

Wintour is not the only celebrity to hide behind her sunglasses.

Victoria Beckham is rarely seen without her huge designer glasses and has previously explained she feels better wearing them as people can see less of her face.

She has said: "I'm not over confident and feel better if I hide behind my glasses and wear a cap as that means there is less of me for people to judge."

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are often pictured in their shades and regularly wear them on the red carpet as well as during nights out.

A Shameless Plug

I just would like to give a hearty endorsement to a film I recently watched, called "Leaving the Fold". In just under an hour, the movie manages to cover the subject pretty well, although I do wish it were longer, and more in-depth.

Danny Gokey Eliminated

It was down to a trio of contestants who performed Tuesday night on the FOX reality show American Idol. Danny Gokey, Kris Allen and Adam Lambert entertained viewers with two songs apiece and then it was up to America to decide who would be sent home.

After 88 million votes, it’s going to be Kris Allen and Adam Lambert in the finale. After the votes were tabulated, it was Danny Gokey who was eliminated . He took the stage and performed an emotional rendition of You Are So Beautiful, bringing tears to the eyes of judges Kara and Paula.

Gokey, 29, a widowed church music director from Wisconsin, had until this week been one of the leading vote-getters among viewers this season.Danny lost his wife Sophia 10 months ago when she died of complications following heart surgery. It was just three weeks later when he first auditioned for American Idol.

According to Simon, the finale should be a “ding dong” of an affair. Without making us consult our British-to-English dictionaries, Simon informed us that it was a good thing.

However, before we got to any results of American Idol 2009 top 2, we got to see footage of each of the Top 3’s visits to their hometown. I don’t know what it is about this part, but I always get teary eyed when I watch the contenders deal with their new found fame at home.

The Top 3 journeyed back to their hometowns for a love fest. Danny to Milwaukee, Kris to Conway, Arkansas and Adam to San Diego. Touching video footage showed frenzied fans at rallies and parades.

Then Season 6 winner Jordin Sparks returned to the Idol stage to sing “Battlefield.” It doesn’t seem like it’s been two years since Jordin was awaiting her fate on the stage. I thought she looked beautiful and sounded great. But I have to wonder if she was in this year’s pool of contestants, would she still have won?

Finally we heard Katy Perry singing her new single, “Waking Up in Vegas.” This performance is my first exposure to the colorful singer and I didn’t think it was half bad. And judging from her cape, she’s an Adam fan. I will be pulling for Kris next week, but regardless of who wins the American Idol 2009 finale we should be in store for one spectacular show.

Check out your American Idol Season 8 Top 2 below, Katy Perry performance video, Danny Gokey You Are So Beautiful first video is from tonight, second video is his performance from Tuesday night.

danny gokey you are so beautiful

Danny Gokey chose to sing “You Are So Beautiful” which was originally made famous by Joe Cocker. After losing his wife, I can’t believe that he can sing these super emotional songs. I thought his voice sounding so amazing and I loved the arrangement. I think that was my favorite performance by Danny this season.

Wow, what a great choice. It totally fits the tone of his voice. He and Adam Lambert generally pick good songs. Man, this is super, super cheesy; everything is totally drawn out, a lot of emotion in his voice.

I can't help it though, it's a great song, and he adds some nice little vocal runs in there -- I like it. Very sincere, Gokey's fans are gonna love this. Heck of a nice finish, too. A bit artificial in that you can tell everything is practiced and planned, but that doesn't mean it's not effective.
Randy said that he loved that Danny showed that he’s in the competition because he can really, really, really sing. Kara said that it was stunning and amazing. Paula said that they were left breathless by the performance and that by changing the song’s structure he made it beautiful. Simon said that it was a vocal master class. Wow!

Judges comments on Dance Little Sister:
Randy - Let the games begin!
Kara - I did not like the dancing
Paula - You did (dancing) really good
Simon - Toy saxophone solo was not good

Judges comments on You are so Beautiful:
Randy - You can really really really sing
Kara - That was stunning
Paula - It was a beautiful performance
Simon - That was a vocal masterclass
Afterwards Danny says he just did what he did best, didn't overanalyze everything.

Good luck Danny! Good luck Vote for the Worst!
