Lynn Hirschberg unloads in this weekend's Times' T mag on how all the moguls dress terribly nowadays; she lumps in the sometimes-bad dresser Barry Diller with the frequent offender Harvey Weinstein. "Scientists should stop investigating the links between fat friends, fast food and obesity and concentrate on the pernicious impact of stretch fabric.

Weinstein remained in that dank hole for 12 days, with only a couple pieces of fruit and some water for sustenance. In total darkness, the 6-ft. 2-in. businessman managed to free himself from the metal bonds and feel his way around the tomb, which was about 5 feet wide by 5 feet long. Although the kidnappers had tossed in a blanket for him to sleep on, the room was too narrow for him to lie down.
