Barry Manilow says plenty of people still like to hear great love songs, so he's keeping things romantic as he moves to the Las Vegas Strip for a new show opening March 5.
"I've always believed that a good love song will never go out of style, no matter how angry the young people get — and they seem to be getting more angry," Manilow said.
The 63-year-old "Mandy" and "Copacabana" crooner starts a two-year run at the Paris Las Vegas hotel-casino next year after spending five years less than 3 miles away at the off-Strip Las Vegas Hilton.
Hepburn items to be auctioned
Audrey Hepburn fans got a sneak peak Tuesday of dozens of garments and personal effects once belonging to the movie star that will hit the auction blocks next week.
A Givenchy black lace dress that Hepburn wore in "How to Steal a Million" and a demure ivory wedding gown that never made it down the aisle are among the items.
The fans, fashionistas and those looking to score a slice of film history were given a preview of the collection in Paris before the Dec. 8 sale in London.
"For her, what was important was not decoration and lots of embellishment. She liked very simple things — less was always more for Audrey," said auctioneer Kerry Taylor, whose auction house is handling the sale.
Hepburn died in 1993.
Star lots include an Yves Saint Laurent empire waisted gown in white cotton that Hepburn wore to her son Luca's 1970 christening and an abbreviated, long-sleeve Valentino Haute Couture dress in ivory silk and lace that's identical to the one worn by Jacqueline Kennedy at her 1968 wedding to Aristotle Onassis.
Keys invites fans to Africa
Alicia Keys says her first visit to Africa was so emotional and inspiring that she is ready to take others there to experience something similar.
The Grammy-winning singer is launching a contest through her charity, Keep a Child Alive, that will give five people an opportunity to visit the continent with her. She says her initial trip to Africa "totally changed my life."
Fans can enter the contest online at the foundation's Web site or by sending a text. The fee for the text is $5, but it will be donated to Keep a Child Alive.
