The upper and lower lobbies were transformed into Rick’s Café Americain, the gin joint run by Bogie in the film, and more than a few patrons took the opportunity to work their 1940s vintage best.

The BIG DAY
The pre-wedding rigors that British royalty Prince William and his bride Kate Middleton endured before today’s EXTRAVAGANZA must have been sorely trying.

Bigfoot A La Mode
Yes, dearies, our stylish hairy man hit the runway during Paris Fashion Week to show those fashionistas how to dud-up (with help from Adam Kimmel). Gushes the L.A.
