High Heels

*** CRAZY HORSE Directed by: Frederick Wiseman At: Kendall Square Running time: 134 minutes Unrated: (as R: creative nudity) In French, with subtitles How do you turn a naked woman into a nude? "Crazy Horse," the 39th film from the legendary documentarian Frederick Wiseman, prowls the Paris nightclub of the title looking for answers. It's the third in Wiseman's dance movies (the other two being 1995's "Ballet" and 2009's "La Danse: The Paris Opera Ballet")

Sade Adu may have appeared confident when she hit the stage on her massive U.S. tour last year in her all-black ensemble, svelte look, high heels and red lips. But the 53-year-old singer was nervous. So nervous, she gave someone backstage a tattoo. "It was giving me something to divert me from the chaos of getting ready psychologically to go out there," Adu said in a recent interview. "I think I was more stressed about giving that tattoo than I was (doing) the show that night.

Nicole Cammorata | Boston.com Staff I love an outdoor wedding just as much as the next gal, but hate how standing around on grass wrecks my high heels. Lucky for me (and you), so do the folks over at SoleMates . Though they've been around since 2008, I'm just learning about them now, so forgive me if this is old news. The Connecticut-based company makes plastic caps that fit perfectly over most stiletto shoes, reinforcing the spikes so you don't sink into the mud as the bride and groom say "I do. " But do they work?

Amy Sahlinwould be 40 today, Mother's Day. Middle aged. Gray in her hair. Frown lines. Laugh lines. A few kids maybe. Maybe a Pulitzer Prize. I can't picture Amy at 40. She was 11 when she died, nine days shy of her 12th birthday, my daughter Lauren's best friend. They met when they were 7 and 8. They played dress-up together. They strutted around in high heels that were too big, hats made from scarves and dresses they borrowed from Amy's mother's closet, and fancy fans and pince-nez glasses they got from who knows where.

It's the third in Wiseman's dance movies (the other two being 1995's "Ballet" and 2009's "La Danse: The Paris Opera Ballet") and the first to explore the more eroticized forms of the medium. Wiseman, of course, could take his camera into a down-market strip club and come out with a film about the mechanics of titillation rather than titillation itself.

Director Mike Mills may actually want viewers to feel bored and numbed-out during "Does Your Soul Have a Cold?" His documentary is about depression in Japan and his sense that antidepressants have failed there, and so he may intend for us to suffer the oppressive detachment of those we're observing. Call it Method Viewing. But, ultimately, "Does Your Soul Have a Cold?," which premieres tonight at 9 on IFC, takes a rich topic and drains it of life. Until 2000, depression was publicly under-acknowledged in Japan, according to the movie.

In the end, we're glad we skipped Sunday's viewing party of the new Style Network show "Wicked Fit" at Red Lantern. Why? Because the restaurant doesn't actually get the Style Network so everyone had to totter on their high heels over to the Back Bay Hilton to watch the show… . Nebo owners Carla and Christine Pallotta are on NBC's "Today" with Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb this morning cooking up a few of their favorite Halloween...

To any woman reading this who has one or more living grandmothers: Ignore my measly 2 1/2-star rating, call up Grams, put her in the car, take her to see "In Her Shoes. " You can thank me later. The rest of us will just have to suspend our disbelief and accept that A) Cameron Diaz and Toni Collette could be sisters in any known universe, alternate or otherwise, B) that Shirley MacLaine could be the nice Jewish grandparent they never knew existed, and C) that MacLaine could give the most understated performance in the movie.

Q. My girlfriend was in one other serious relationship aside from ours. It lasted three years and ended three years before ours began. She keeps in touch with the ex because they work together a few days a week, and also my girlfriend was close to the ex's three young children. (They all lived together for most of the three years.) While they don't spend time together outside of work, once every few months she attends some of the kids' events (school plays, graduations, soccer games, etc.)

PROVIDENCE - There's nothing digital about the media in "His Girl Friday," and nothing scrupulous about the reporters who bang out their stories on battered old typewriters or bark updates to the city desk over black rotary telephones. With one exception: Hildy Johnson. The truth still matters to Hildy, and so does the profession she tried to leave, only to find herself pulled back by a shot at a big scoop and a little justice. Trinity Repertory Company's crackerjack production of "His Girl Friday," adapted by John Guare and directed by Curt...

Lady Gaga issued an ultimatum to her fans - “my little monsters’’ she calls them - in advance of her ambitious new tour. “ ‘The Fame Monster’ (her new album) will come out four days before the first live show,’’ she wrote on her website. “You have exactly 96 hours to learn all of the lyrics so you can sing along. Dress accordingly.’’ Someone did their homework. At the Citi Wang Theatre last night, the first of her two soldout shows there, Gaga’s fans came out in force, often looking like her doppelganger (hair bows, tiny top hats, and serious attitude)

R&B Mario D.N.A. J ESSENTIAL “I Choose You’’ Mario appears on the cover of his new album built like a superhero and dressed in black. Looks are deceiving. On the lovely closer, “The Hardest Moment,’’ he sings that he’s “a man who’s not afraid to cry.’’ Now let’s face it: Most modern male R&B vocalists, who are too busy proclaiming that they invented sex, would not utter those words. Throughout this unfussy, beautifully sung set, the 23-year-old Mario taps into the tenderness of early Maxwell.

Q. Among other fashion-related projects, you've been producing the annual Identities Fashion Show at Harvard. Tell us about the show. A. It's a fashion show held on the Harvard campus. The primary goal of the show is to promote student creativity. We get samples from designers, professionals based in New York City, and all over the world, but it's a completely student-styled runway show. It gives a chance for Harvard students to act as stylists, and gives a chance for students in the audience to see their fellow classmates and their work.

Q. You co-wrote four songs on this new album. Does songwriting come naturally to you these days? A. It’s been a hard few years. I was quite ill for a while, then I got writer’s block, and out of bad things come some great things. I was going through such a hard time personally, and I couldn’t write; I never can in the middle of it all. So I made that beautiful record of covers — I hate the word “covers,’’ but anyway — called “Easy Come, Easy Go’’ [from 2008]
