NEW YORK -- Fashion's Night Out, the shopping initiative driven by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, returns as a bigger event next month, extending to 250 U.S. cities including Pittsburgh. But there seems to be a sharper focus on industry stars -- including designers, red carpet experts, and makeup artists -- instead of the Hollywood celebrities who grabbed headlines the past two years. The event aims to draw consumers into stores on one night during the all-important fall retail season by making shopping an exciting, interactive experience with how-to sessions, music, refreshments and glimpses of insider glamour.

One thing we can count on year in and year out: Egocentric, off- kilter celebrities will do stupid things for our entertainment pleasure. And 2010 was no different.

There was hardly a dry eye in the stadium as 300 young men from Morehouse College, an all-male Historically Black College and University in Atlanta, took to the stage to thank [Oprah Winfrey] for her financial support of some of the students at the school. Television newswoman Diane Sawyer announced that in Winfrey's honor 25,000 trees would be planted around the nation, including in front of 25 school libraries that retailer Target committed to making over in homage to Winfrey. The night was all about Winfrey, who was bom into what she has described as abject poverty in Kosciusko, Miss., having been raised briefly by her grandmother.
