  • As someone whose personal '07 style nadir involved a lamb osso buco splatter on a light-blue dress shirt (right before I went to a fancy party!), I'm probably a dubious choice to start the discussion, but I'm gonna go ahead and nominate those metallic wings slapped on Jennifer Hudson's brown Oscar gown, and Britney Spears' much-dissected costume from this year's VMAs. —  Entertainment Weekly's PopWatch
  • "Upscale drinks have a place at a table where you are serving lamb shanks and osso buco instead of the traditional brisket smothered in onions and cabbage," said Susie Fishbein, author of "Kosher by Design." —  The Money Times - finance news, lifestyle, markets, investment, personal finance, banking, retirement planning
