That file remains empty, though, because the agent immediately snapped up "The Thirteenth Tale," a Gothic horror mystery and within a few days secured Setterfield a two-book deal, reported to be worth $1.4 million, with Britain's Orion Books.

Designer takes place at crossroads of fashion, film

By Alyson Brodsy and Samantha Critchell · Wednesday, Oct. 11,2006 12:25 a.m.

Ninety years and thousands of pairs shoes ago, a 16-year-old Italian cobbler named Salvatore Ferragamo came to Los Angeles hoping to find a little glamour. He found a little and then created a lot more. So it seems fitting that the twin worlds of fame and fortune are honoring him this month on the Rodeo Walk of Style, one of the ritziest and most high-profile shopping streets in the world.

Diversity Day at 'The Office'

By Alyson Brodsy and Zack Teibloom · Sunday, Oct. 8,2006 11:57 p.m.

Saturday night, Lindsey and I bet on what time Tamir of Balkan Beat Box would remove his shirt. We argued whether his wearing a sweater would make him de-robe sooner or later. I guessed that he would be shirtless by 11 at the 10:30 p.m. show. By 10:59 we had a shirtless Tamir rapping and ending the show an hour later by climbing on the speaker and proclaiming, "I'm on the speaker because I have something to say."
