I love shoes as much as any other red-blooded woman - the sexier the better. But I've learned over the years that the sexiest shoes ... well, they usually hurt. The latest trends from designers promise only more misery ... multiple circulation-restricting straps, six-inch heels ... what's next?

Well, whatever it is, rest assured that the Olsen twins will most likely be first to wear them. And why not? It's not like they have to walk around all day in them. They only have to walk from the limo to the club and vice versa. Any troll could do that.

But what about us regular women, who have to wedge our poor aching feet into these monstrosities and suffer through blisters, corns and God knows what else for the sake of fashion? Good news. Most regular women can't begin to afford these boots, some of which begin at $3,000. Lucky for us, we can stick to our crocs and our platform wedges with an occasional turn in the hooker boots, just to prove we've still got a pulse. Then we can go home and soak our aching feet.

Given a chance, would you wear something so sinister on your feet? If so, you're braver than me. I'll see you at the podiatrist.

Brooke Astor died last year at age 105. She devoted years of her life to helping others less fortunate than herself. She was a kind and loving friend and devoted mother to her only son, Anthony Marshall. Unfortunately, Anthony did not inherit her generous nature, and what he did to her in her last days was reprehensible.

The story of Brooke Astor's last days at the hands of her greedy son, her greedier daughter-in-law and an unscrupulous attorney are like something straight out of a Dominick Dunne novel. Sadly, the events were all too real, and a despicable end to a life of kindness and generosity to folks from all walks of life.

When the story broke last year of Brooke's sad plight, living in squalor while her son pillaged her assets, New Yorkers were aghast. Discovered by her grandson in a desperate way, she was rescued by the courts and her powerful friends from Anthony's larcenous control and allowed to live out her final days on her beloved Westchester estate. Anthony and his co-conspirator, Francis Morrissey, created a state of siege in Mrs. Astor's home, constantly badgering her to change her will and sign over assets. It got so bad she'd pretend to be sleeping whenever Anthony came to visit.

Anthony and Morrissey each face multiple charges of fraud, forgery and coercion, and their trials promise to be equally titillating and gut-wrenching. There's also a new book out entitled Mrs. Astor Regrets by Meryl Gordon, which tells the story of Mrs. Astor's virtual imprisonment as told by her maids, nurses and butlers, who were listening via baby monitors and who filled up 30 notebooks over four years with details of what these professionals deemed "abuse, neglect and manipulation". That a son could do this to his mother, a mother who had never denied him anything, is despicable, and I hope he receives the maximum sentences allowed for each charge. And while they're at it, I hope they throw a few charges at his wife, Charlene, too. She's no saint - she was married to a minister when she met Anthony, but quickly dumped the pastor for greener pastures. She couldn't get enough of the Astor fortune, and is said to be a driving force behind much of Anthony's machinations.

I know she'd like to think so. Hell, her every move and public statement is geared toward achieving that very goal. But the little man is craftier than that. Look how long he had Cameron hanging on. Jessica's got a ways to go.

Justin and Cameron were together four years before things went sour. Sources at the time blamed Justin's mommy, who he always listens to, and who never took a liking to she who looks like a sea creature from the neck up. But she was athletic, and a lot of fun, so it was easy to stretch it out. And Cammie's never been in a hurry to wed. It's just not her thing.

Jessica, on the other hand, wants that ring. She wants that celebrity baby and all the trappings. She knows she'll never attain the heights of fame that Timberlake has, and is content to ride his coattails. Her publicist thinks he/she is very crafty, releasing these thinly-veiled statements about how wonderful she is (she can sing! she can act! she's not just a shelf ass!), and Justin's more than willing to let it all pan out. It's a small price to pay.

But will he take that final step? I don't think it's too likely. Despite his public shows of commitment to his shelfy one, Justin's got a reputation as a backstage player who loves to brag of his conquests. Jessica shouldn't get too comfortable; if Justin follows form she's only got another year or two, tops, before he replaces her with another tight-assed social climber.
