Breast-Fed Better, Ali Drives, Virgin Hair, and Wintour DeStreeps

The bus where art imitates life stops here.
1. A study of 8,900 brit-born babies found that breast-fed babies were better equipped to deal with stress than their bottle-fed counterparts. The researchers didn't particularly know how to explain the results but noted that "breastfeeding might be a marker for other maternal or family traits that help kids handle stress." Where's Freud when you need him? (FOX)

2. For those who can't wait for Borat, the movie, to come out, run, or drive recklessly, to Talledega Nights where Sascha Cohen will be playing "a gay French driver who tortures Ricky (Will Ferrell) with talks of existentialism, free-from jazz and Formula Un." Check it: the lukewarm review here. (Detroit Free Press)

3. The hottest new trend amongst Hollywood A-listers that have trickled down to the peons visiting NYC salons is wearing hair extensions from Indian virgins in their teens and twenties who shave their heads for traditional Hindu ceremonies. Also known as "temple hair," these extensions cost $3000. I can't wait for 'drinking the blood of virgins to stay young' to make its resurgence. (Daily News)

4. WWD reports that because of the insane similarity between Miranda Priestly's office in The Devil Wears Prada and Anna Wintour's actual, real-life office, the latter has redecorated her office to, uh, erase the trail. Hm...odd that Condé Nast's WWD reports this though. What's with the sibling's slight rivalry-provoking ways?
