There's no end to the unrealistic NYC apartments on the small and silver screen, but Piper Perabo's Chinatown apartment in the classic 2000 film Coyote Ugly is a noteworthy offender. For those of you who are unlucky enough to have missed Coyote Ugly , or who need a refresher, here is the gist—Perabo plays Violet, a starry-eyed songwriter from a far away land called New Jersey who moves to the Big City to find her break, but ends up making ends meet by bartending at Coyote Ugly, a popular establishment where ladies dance on tables and pour ice on people. There's a lot of High Drama in this film—Perabo starts a relationship with super hot Australian Adam Garcia , alienates dad John Goodman , has love/hate tension with boss Maria Bello , and tries to get famous people to sing her songs. Throughout this, though, she somehow manages to live ALONE in a MASSIVE apartment in Chinatown, a feat far less realistic than getting LeAnn Rimes to perform "Can't Fight the Moonl...

However, it does just reinforce ...

For Mr. Leighton, the practice began in 1996 when Miuccia Prada selected a 19th- century Australian opal choker for Ms. Kidman to wear as she walked the red carpet at the Oscars with Tom Cruise, then her husband.
