Actress Julia Roberts on Tuesday was named the No. 1 fashion offender on Mr. Blackwell's 32nd annual list of the 10 worst-dressed women.Roberts, currently starring as Tinkerbell in the movie "Hook," was skewered as a "rag doll" by Blackwell.
"This tacky Tinkerbell from fashion Neverland . . . is a number one hymn to homespun horror," the couture critic said.
Next was country singer Wynonna Judd and actresses Delta Burke, Tyne Daly and Jodie Foster.
Blackwell called Judd the "shaggy songbird of country kitsch" and labeled Burke an "antebellum atrocity."
Singer Carly Simon was sixth, followed by actresses Faye Dunaway, Kathy Bates and Jane Seymour. Landing the 10th spot was Dame Edna Everage, the creation of comedian Barry Humphries.
Blackwell, whose real name is Richard Sylvan Selzer, has been releasing his worst-dressed list since 1960.
John Sununu could be filling in where Pat Buchanan left off.
It's "fairly definite" that Sununu will soon replace the conservative commentator on Cable News Network's "Crossfire" program, CNN President Tom Johnson said in Tuesday's Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Buchanan left the show to seek the Republican presidential nomination. Sununu resigned last month as President Bush's chief of staff, but is remaining as a consultant to the president through February.
Sununu would fill the chair on the nightly debate-style program until Buchanan returns, Johnson said.
Oprah Winfrey, who says she was sexually abused as a child, delivered on a promise to donate $50,000 to a child-abuse prevention group.
The talk show host pledged that once the LaPorte County (Ind.) Child Abuse Prevention Council raised half its $300,000 fund for establishing a children's advocacy center in Indiana, she'd make her donation.
Winfrey sent the money in December. The council's vice president, Glenn Lubeznik, said $30,000 of it went to pay for a house that has been purchased for the planned center.
Winfrey has disclosed she was raped by a distant cousin at age 9 and then abused by three other men during the next five years.
