Scoop from Vogue: "Jenna Bush will wear a 'simple and elegant' wedding gown designed by Oscar de la Renta at her May 10 wedding: organza with embroidery, matte beading and a small train—and yet 'still casual.' ...Twin Barbara is the maid of honor and technically the only bridesmaid, although 14 attendants (what Texans call a wedding "house party") will stand up for Jenna wearing short chiffon green, blue, yellow and lavender dresses by Lela Rose. The choice of de la Renta is not entirely unexpected: The New York designer is a favorite of Laura Bush (he created her 2005 inaugural gown, the infamous red outfit worn by three other women at the 2006 Kennedy Center Honors, and the dress for Queen Elizabeth's visit last year), and Jenna and mom dropped by his showroom in February."
Elsewhere in the news:
"Rioting in response to soaring food prices recently has broken out in Egypt, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Senegal and Ethiopia. In Pakistan and Thailand, army troops have been deployed to deter food theft from fields and warehouses. World Bank President Robert Zoellick warned in a recent speech that 33 countries are at risk of social upheaval because of rising food prices. Those could include Indonesia, Yemen, Ghana, Uzbekistan and the Philippines. In countries where buying food requires half to three-quarters of a poor person's income, 'there is no margin for survival,' he said.
