Voguing Through Paris With Anne Hathaway

Looking like a cross between Audrey Hepburn and a modern royal, Anne Hathaway sparkles as Vogue magazine's November cover girl. Hathaway amps up the glamorous American in Paris vibe as Mario Testino shoots frame after gorgeous frame of her in the City of Light. Watch the splendid behind-the-scenes video here.

One of the stunning locations for the photo shoot is the legendary Art Nouveau bistro, Maxim's, which has been frequented by Jean Cocteau, Marcel Proust, Greta Garbo, Marlène Dietrich, Onassis, La Callas, the Windsors, and the Woolworth heiress, Barbara Hutton, who was married to Cary Grant. Back in the 70s, Brigitte Bardot made scandalous headlines when she entered the restaurant with bare feet, but it would take a lot more than that in this millennium! John Travolta put on his dancing shoes and kept the rhythm with Sylvie Vartan, while Jeanne Moreau, Barbra Streisand, and Pierre Cardin, who eventually bought the place, also ate here. If you want to lavishly revel in a remembrance of things past, this is the place to do it.

Prefer to try something new? Campbell's is giving away $25,000 in their Try Something New Sweepstakes. That's plenty to cover a trip to Paris and dinner at Maxim's. Everything old is new again, especially if you haven't been there. Get souped up and enter.

And God Created... Brigitte Bardot

French sex kitten Brigitte Bardot has made headlines as a model, a film star, a singer, and an animal rights activist for decades. It's hard to believe she's almost 76 and still ruffling feathers. Today's Los Angeles Times is running a riveting article about Bardot's latest controversial remarks and her battle to fight Kyle Newman's proposed, unauthorized, untitled Brigitte Bardot Biopic, which is slated to star Newman's wife, Jaime King. (She played radio-boss-cum-girlfriend, Vanessa, on the short-lived TV series, Gary Unmarried.)

If you're in France before the end of October, catch the Exposition Brigitte Bardot at Espace des Lices in Place des Lices in Bardot's hometown, St. Tropez. The popular show includes a wide selection of paintings, photographs, unpublished letters, sculpture, and items from her private life. Chronologically arranged thematic alcoves bear the title of a film, a song, or a TV show, and retrace Bardot's existence, from her childhood to her involvement in animal welfare. Highlighted are her connection with Saint-Tropez, her love affairs, and her career, which includes 50 films and more than 80 songs.

Midwest Living, which is about as far away as you can get from St. Tropez style, is giving away a $25,000 James Hardie Exterior Home Makeover, but the grand prize winner can opt for a $12,000 check instead. Take the money and run to Paris and St. Tropez. Stir things up and enter.

Paris: In The Thicke of Things

Robin Thicke muses, "In Paris, I can just walk all day long, from the Arc de Triomphe to the Louvre and over the bridge to the Left Bank." Chase is giving away an ultimate reward getaway for two to Paris, inspired by Robin, plus a signed, original treatment of his music video, "Lost Without U." Along with two tickets to paradise, I mean, Paris, the prize includes three nights at the Renaissance Paris Vendome and $200 for dinner at Le Train Bleu. (If the restaurant looks familiar, you may have seen it in Luc Besson's film, La Femme Nikita. Coco Chanel, Brigitte Bardot, Jean Cocteau, and Salvador Dali used to be regulars.) Now that's an ultimate reward! Chase this down and enter.
