NEW YORK - The storied Kennedy family has produced a president, ambassadors, an attorney general, senators and plenty of congressmen. But not a professional actor. Kathleen “Kick” Kennedy hopes to change that. The 25-year-old granddaughter of Robert F. Kennedy is making her professional stage debut off-Broadway this month in, of all things, a Greek tragedy. […]

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Panathinaikos stayed fourth in the Greek league by beating Panionios 1-0 with a goal from Danijel Prandjic in the 16th minute on Saturday.
Panathinaikos dominated the first half but had to defend hard in the second.
Victory kept Panathinaikos two points behind third-place Atromitos and 19 behind league leader Olympiakos, which has a single draw to spoil an otherwise perfect record. Atromitos hosts Olympiakos on Sunday. Also, second-place PAOK, 10 points behind Olympiakos, hosts Panetolikos on Sunday.

MILAN (AP) — Italian fashion house Versace showed a cowboy-themed menswear collection for fall 2014 on Saturday that was outrageously fun, even by Versace standards.
"Our cowboy is macho, he's a biker ... he doesn't have a horse," designer Donatella Versace said backstage after the show.
Donatella's cowboys wear their boots with sharp, tight suits decorated with rhinestone horseshoes and cactus plants on both front and back. These cowhands head out on the town wearing red leather chaps over their jeans, or sometimes just over their bandanna-print underwear. Cheeky indeed!
Cowboy bikers at Versace wear leather pants, fur motorcycle jackets, hip-hop chains, silk shirts with "Western Cowboy" on the back, or quilted bombers over their bare chests. They sport studded or rhinestone codpieces that do double-duty as belts. Motorcycle helmets bearing the house's trademark Medusa motifs add to the fun.
The collection included a few covetable, sumptuous pieces, like a camel overcoat that looked as thick as a carpet.
But mostly it was a camp celebration of manhood in many forms, from the automobile grilles decorating the runway to the "vroom vroom" motorcycle revving up the start of the soundtrack.
The late Gianni Versace was famous for mixing cultural references spanning Ancient Greece to Andy Warhol into his carefully tailored work, but the cowboy theme has appeared only once before.
"Gianni did a haute couture cowboy dress once modelled by Naomi Campbell in Paris," said Donatella Versace, his sister who took over after his tragic death. "It had a fringe skirt."
