Sam Mendes and Adam Shankman had both been speculated as contenders for the job, but insiders tell us that Raimi received the official offer earlier this morning. The project is written by Mitchell Kapner (The Whole Nine Yards, Romeo Must Die), and Joe Roth — who, of course, used to run Disney's studio back in the 1990s — is producing; Disney wants to start filming sometime this year. It's unclear if Raimi will accept: Last July, he was hired by Warner Bros.-based Legendary Pictures to develop a film based on the wildly popular World of Warcraft video game, with the plan being that he'd shoot it after he finished a fourth Spider-Man film at Sony. Of course, in January it became clear that Raimi would not be directing Spider-Man 4, leaving his next picture an open question.

Mendel, Rebecca Minkoff, Naeem Khan, Collette Dinnigan, and Reem Acra![]() Breaking! Breaking! We just published eight new resort collections in our fashion-show galleries. Balenciaga is all about the color blocking, zany prints and sixties silhouettes (not to mention white-hot neon eye shadow). Rebecca Minkoff's slinky party gear melds sweatshirt-like materials with embellished pockets and funky cut-out detailing. Naaem Khan, meanwhile, upped the sparkle ante: Her sequined trousers and mosaic cruise wear actually looks like it could be worn on a cruise ship (or one of those booze cruises that floats around the Hudson, whatever). The 49 looks from Reem Acra smack of everything from Studio 54 licentiousness (holy metallics!) to Grecian goddesses to the kinds of dresses that'd drive Teen Vogue-worshipping prom-goers insane with desire. Rounding out the roundup are ladylike frocks from Collette Dinnigan, red carpet ball gowns from J. Mendel, ties and sheaths from Ports 1961, and bunchy-at-the-crotch pants from Nicole Miller.

Another witness says the actress' breath smelled of alcohol following the crash, but when she returned 45 minutes later, she was chewing gum and wearing different clothes. Cops declined to administer a breathalyzer because there's apparently no way to prove someone was under the influence behind the wheel if they leave and then come back.

Which is why Rawls has now assembled three "teams of experts in election data analysis" to look for voting irregularities.

In the name of calm nerves, here's a quick list of what Time could possibly touch on in their upcoming Pitchfork feature. Check back whenever it comes out to see if we missed anything. • Pitchfork is an extremely influential arbiter of indie-music tastes. A Pitchfork review can make or break a band (see: Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Arcade Fire). • Music magazines are dying, but online music writing is thriving. • In recent years Pitchfork has expanded its brand with original video content on Pitchfork.tv, the annual Pitchfork Music Festival held in Chicago’s Union Park, and a partnership with ABC News. • While the site is still based out of Chicago, Schreiber moved to Brooklyn a few years ago. This makes sense, because a lot of popular indie-rock bands are from Brooklyn. • Young people are the future. • The writing on Pitchfork is occasionally criticized as self-indulgent. The scope of the site’s influence is also criticized, specifically the manner in which their coverage can contribute to a faddish appreciation of bands (see: Black Kids). That reviews come with corresponding numerical values on a ten-point scale is criticized, but not as often as the first two things. • The staff is predominantly male. The males are predominantly bearded and flannel-wearing. • Pitchfork writer Ryan Dombal accidentally killed a stripper at the holiday party three years ago and the staff buried her underneath a pile of unopened Jens Lekman and the Tough Alliance promos.

Fergie performed at the opening ceremony last night wearing a crusty leotard with giant shoulders by Indian designers Shane and Falguni Peacock. She also wore some supremely scary talons, which she appears to have discarded during the performance. The good thing about those claws, though, is that they distract from how skimpy the front of her leotard is. Do you think the 'tard looks better with or without the alien fingers?

In a statement sent to us today, owner Anthony Malkin calls the decision "final and irrevocable" and, taking a shot at the Catholic League's Bill Donohue, insists that the decision is in "no way intended to be a slight against Mother Teresa or Catholics; only Mr. Donohue for his own platform has chosen to make it one." Furthermore, this whole unwelcome brouhaha is making Malkin reevaluate those religious lightings he has approved of in the past. Happily, we believe Mother Teresa's position in history is quite secure regardless of our inaction. It is our hope that this will not become a "religious" issue. The unintended consequences of focusing on religion may drive us to reconsider those traditional lightings we have maintained over the years.

In their complaint, that's pretty much what the SEC does to de Chimay. "The litany of Defendant's misdeeds is long and varied," they write, gleefully. The SEC alleges that there is no evidence that any bridge loans were actually made, and investments were instead used to make mortgage payments on Chimay’s multi-million dollar home in the Hamptons and pay more than $500,000 to the law firm representing Chimay in a divorce proceeding. Investor money also was fraudulently used to pay Chimay’s massive credit card bills as well as Chimay Capital’s rent and payroll, and to pay off disgruntled counterparties in Chimay’s other business ventures. As recently as December 2009, Chimay sought a multi-million dollar bank loan on the basis of false representations that he had $13 million in liquid assets in a Bermuda bank account. The account balance was actually zero."

He's been encouraging men to be more like women, sartorially, for ages. Starting with the shrunken suit. While women with fabulous, gym-honed figures or surgically enhanced bosoms are happy to prance around in their Hervé Léger, Browne notes in WSJ. Magazine: Most men wear clothes that are too big. There’s an irony in the fact that American men spend a lot of time taking care of their bodies. Many of them like to be in good shape. Wouldn’t they want to show off what they have achieved — even a little bit?
And we have to thank Browne for this: Sometimes it’s embarrassing when you see couples out and the girl has clearly taken so much time over her appearance and the guy just looks bad. And the girls don’t seem to mind! Men get lazy. It’s important for a guy to figure out what works for him and then stick with it. Most men can’t steer themselves when it comes to style. They need a female to guide them. That’s a fact.

You can hear said jokes on his new Comedy Central special, You Should Have Told Me, premiering tonight at 11 p.m. We talked to Tompkins about his personal sense of style, and why it is in no way “old-timey.” In addition to your suit and slicked hair, you often use old-timey language, whether it’s “spats” or “two bits.” When did you put this character together? Your new special is a lot more personal than your previous ones; you have a whole section on your mother passing away. As you claw your way through your forties, will your jokes get more and more serious? So does it sting to see your old friend Patton Oswalt in the news for getting his material stolen? Do you ever wish somebody would steal your material?

And then, he tells James Surowiecki, there is the Gray Swan Event.
And then there's the current crisis, which is actually a White Swan Event.
Okay, we follow, but we have two questions: Just how many more colors of swan does Nassim think he can pull out of his pocket? And how are these like birds, again?

The network will build on its already impressive lead by developing Mara Altman’s nonfiction memoir Thanks for Coming: One Woman’s Quest to Achieve Orgasm, about a 26-year-old New Yorker on the aforementioned expedition, into a comedy series. Awkwardly, it seems Altman must not have been a regular SATC watcher, or she would have known she could have solved her problem with "the rabbit."

Rumor has it Lindsay Lohan wasn't supposed to wear the sparkly jumpsuit she wore to the MTV Movie Awards this week. Its designer, Pamella Roland, has reportedly banned her from borrowing clothing, along with other labels (she can purchase things from those who have banned her, however). The jumpsuit was reportedly intended for Katy Perry, but she decided not to wear it, so Lohan somehow got her hands on it. We don't believe that story, though. We would think Pamella Roland would be glad to see the getup photographed on anyone leaving the house, and probably all the Real Housewives were staying in that night. [E!] Update: A rep from Pamella Roland tells us these rumors are "inaccurate," and they did in fact loan the jumpsuit to Lindsay Lohan's stylist. So if she's banned from borrowing, it's certainly not from them.

"When I was 7, I went to Alaska on vacation with my mom for a month and came this close to a bear," she said, indicating a few short inches. "They had told me, if you ever see a bear in the wilderness, sing to it, because it somehow can identify that you're a human. Don't whistle because it will think you're a bird and it'll eat you. But if you sing to it, apparently, it's pacified and it walks away. So I sang 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow,' and it walked away. Did a little Judy Garland rendition and he sauntered off."

Anna Wintour reportedly requested a more robust resort-show calendar this year, but going to shows twice a year for Fashion Week is pain enough. Elle editor Robbie Myers complained about having to go to so many resort shows this season. Cynthia Rowley wants to save editors the effort of getting into a vehicle and actually transporting themselves to a different address to view her 2011 resort clothes. On Tuesday, she'll be packing eight models into a van and driving them to the three buildings that house the bulk of publishing's most major editors — Condé Nast at 1 p.m., Hearst at 3 p.m., and Time Inc. at 5 p.m. The models will get out and do little curbside fashion shows for the editors that can manage to get from their desks down to the sidewalk, where Rowley will also provide refreshments. It's a very clever idea. But while editors enjoy convenience, they may enjoy it less at the cost of exclusivity. On the street, any average person can see the new clothes for the first time along with them.

And faces. And bodies. By now, it’s no secret that soccer or football players are the hottest athletes from any sport. But let us also point out that soccer/football is also one of the few sports where the players willingly take balls to the face. Seriously. They’re taught to do it. They live to do it. Balls. All up. In their face. So due to the fact that we are historians first, bloggers second, and not even perverts at all, we’ve put together the following gallery of the 25 Hottest World Cup Soccer players getting balls all up in their face.
