Her iconic September 1994 Harper's Bazaar cover of Nadja Auermann photographed by Patrick Demarchelier has been swiped and reinterpreted for the September 2008 cover of W, featuring Kate Hudson as photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.

The resemblance is far too uncanny to be a coincidence, what with the same blonde hair, light eyebrows, heavy cat-eye makeup, piercing blue eyes, and dark lipstick framed with a collar of blue all in common. Of all the months to choose, wouldn't the big September issue be one you'd want to get creative with?

Tommy and Suri's mommy both, "often defer to what Suri wants and chooses," the Awful Truth has exclusively learned. "If Suri doesn't like Katie's shoes, she'll take them off," blabbed a babe who hangs right alongside the Beverly Hills brood belonging to Tom and wife-unit, Katie Holmes. "Tom, too. He does whatever Suri wants. He defers to her on everything."

As image-editing software grows in sophistication and ubiquity, alterations go far beyond removing red-eye and whitening teeth. They include substituting head shots to achieve the best combination of smiles, deleting problematic personalities or adding family members who were unable to attend important events, performing virtual liposuction or hair restoration, even reanimating the dead. Revisionist history, it seems, can be practiced by just about anyone.

As people fiddle with the photos in their scrapbooks, the tug of emotion and vanity can win out over the objective truth. And in some cases, it can even alter memories - Cousin Andy was at the wedding, right? In an age of digital manipulation, many people believe that snapshots and family photos need no longer stand as a definitive record of what was, but instead, of what they wish it was. "It used to be that photographs provided documentary evidence, and there was something sacrosanct about that," said Chris Johnson, a photography professor at California College of the Arts in the Bay Area.

If you wanted to remove an ex from an old snapshot, you had to use a Bic pen or pinking shears. But in the digital age, people treat photos like mash-ups in music, combining various elements to form a more pleasing whole. "What we're doing," Mr. Johnson said, "is fulfilling the wish that all of us have to make reality to our liking."

Bosses who force employees to wear high heels as part of their work dress should reconsider their policy, the TUC union body has said. Several "big City institutions and upmarket shops" were the worst offenders, it added, urging them to permit "healthy and safe footwear".

"Heels may look glamorous on the catwalks and on Hollywood stars, but they're not appropriate for day-to-day work wear," said TUC general secretary Brendan Barber "These dress codes -- apart from being blatantly sexist -- can lead to long-term foot and back problems as women are forced to stand or walk around in high heels or ill-fitting footwear."

He added that "instead of worrying about what their staff look like", employers should concentrate on the impact that the wrong shoes and standing for prolonged periods can have. "We were surprised how many times we found that employers' dress codes did not permit the wearing of comfortable sensible footwear by women," Mr Barber said. "Employers should look at encouraging their staff to come to work in comfortable shoes and, where possible, provide the option of sitting."

The TUC's report, Working Feet and Footwear, also looked at issues including firms providing slip-resistant shoes when needed. And where there was the possibility of standing on nails or other sharp objects, bosses must ensure that staff wore shoes with puncture-resistant soles, the TUC added.

More than two-thirds of its bondholders have agreed to vote in favor of the prepackaged bankruptcy plan, the company said in the filing. Support for the plan is contingent upon the company submitting its bankruptcy filing to the court by August 25, according to the regulatory filing.

Mrs. Fields, which has about $196 million in publicly-traded debt, said it reached an agreement on Wednesday with its equity sponsor Capricorn Investors III LP to modify certain financial terms and revise timelines under the terms of their investment agreement.

Best Buy already offers Apple's complete line of iPod digital music players at all its stores and recently expanded sales of the company's Mac computer line to more than 600 of its larger footprint locations.

Word of the move comes just one week after Best Buy announced that it has completed upgrading its Best Buy Mobile departments inside each of the company's U.S.-based stores -- a factor which may have been instrumental to the iPhone deal.

Every facility now has a dedicated cellphone section with similarly committed staff who are trained 80 hours each to help customers buy mobile devices. The focus and reach of the program may have swayed Apple, according to people with knowledge of the situation. Before, at least some of these phone sales would have been handled by more superficially knowledgeable floor workers.

The program is already credited by Best Buy as having sparked interest in premium, media-savvy devices like the Samsung Instinct, which is one of iPhone 3G's most direct rivals and is only available through Best Buy and Sprint. Sales of this class of device have grown tenfold year over year at each store that has a Best Buy Mobile presence, according to the retailer.

President Bush on Thursday signed consumer-safety legislation that bans lead from children's toys, imposing the toughest standard in the world. The new law prohibits lead, beyond minute levels, in products for children 12 or younger. Lead paint was a major factor in the recall of 45 million toys and children's items last year, many from China.

"We can today confirm that we have advised the Metropolitan Police Service that the actor Christian Bale should not face any charges," the Crown Prosecution Service said in a statement released today. The CPS also said there was "insufficient evident to afford a realistic prospect of conviction" on the charges and that "the police have been advised that no further action should be taken against Mr. Bale." He is, however, expected to receive a caution by police next month.

The 34-year-old box-office king was taken into police custody over the July 20 incident in the midst of a publicity blitz for the European premiere of the Batman flick, after allegedly assaulting -- whether verbally or physically was never confirmed -- his female relations at London's Dorchester Hotel.

Though theories abounded as to the cause of the conflict -- claims of financial goading from his 40-year-old sister Sharon and 61-year-old mother Jenny seemed to dominate British tabloid reports -- Bale remained tight-lipped on the ordeal, deflecting questions lobbed during his press junkets by referring to the matter as a private one.

Even before tabloid targets Winehouse and Lohan entered the picture, the Ronson family was a source of intrigue. Mother Ann Dexter-Jones is a social darling who married Laurence Ronson, a British real estate heir and band manager, and then eventually remarried to Mick Jones of Foreigner. The couple (who recently divorced) moved the family to New York when the children were in grade school and had two more of their own: Annabelle, 21, is a Bard student and aspiring actress who serves as Charlotte's top model, and Alexander, 23, is also a musician and DJ. "It would appear that we had a bohemian, rock 'n' roll upbringing," says Charlotte. "And in many ways it was, but our mother was superstrict, and we also had the very English, proper nanny." When asked about this, Dexter-Jones deadpans, "I used to be nicknamed Mummy Dearest."

That said, Dexter-Jones's get-togethers are legendary. Yes, the kids would wake up to the elder Ronson drinking Johnny Walker and playing chess with Daryl Hall at 8:00 a.m., when they were leaving for school. And sure, Al Pacino has come over for Christmas lunch. ("It was epic," says Samantha. "I had just watched Scarface, and I don't think I spoke.") Speculation about who was a houseguest has taken on mythic proportions. "People say that David Bowie and Andy Warhol would pop over for tea," says Mark. "If they did, I wish I had known."

Phelps lends a new spin to the phrase "Breakfast of Champions" by starting off his day by eating three fried-egg sandwiches loaded with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise. He follows that up with two cups of coffee, a five-egg omelet, a bowl of grits, three slices of French toast topped with powdered sugar and three chocolate-chip pancakes.

At lunch, Phelps gobbles up a pound of enriched pasta and two large ham and cheese sandwiches slathered with mayo on white bread - capping off the meal by chugging about 1,000 calories worth of energy drinks. For dinner, Phelps really loads up on the carbs - what he needs to give him plenty of energy for his five-hours-a-day, six-days-a-week regimen - with a pound of pasta and an entire pizza.

He washes all that down with another 1,000 calories worth of energy drinks.

Turns out Donna Martin won't be returning to Beverly Hills' famed zip code after all. Thesp Tori Spelling and CBS Paramount Network TV couldn't come to terms on a deal that would have made her a recurring actress on the CW's "90210" redux. Fellow former "90210" players Jennie Garth, Joe E. Tata and Shannen Doherty are still set to make occasional appearances on the new series.

Starting Aug. 1, US Airways will add nonalcoholic beverages to the growing list of amenities not included in a flight's base fare, thanks largely to increasing fuel costs.

Water, soda and juices will set passengers back $2. The cost of alcoholic beverages will increase from $5 to $7.

Fliers will face higher fees for more than just drinks. Yesterday, US Airways and United Airlines announced separately that they will soon charge some customers $15 for their first checked bag. Last month, American Airlines became the first major U.S. carrier to announce that it would charge a first-bag fee. United will also increase other baggage fees, including those for overweight bags and bags that require special handling.

And passengers may have a harder time finding a flight. US Airways will reduce flights starting in the fall. Continental Airlines yesterday released details of flight reductions announced last week. Among other changes, Continental will discontinue flights between Dulles International Airport and its hubs in Houston and Cleveland.
