Troubled star Lindsay Lohan has decided to make a peace offering to her family and give anchor-shaped necklaces to her loved ones as a symbol of their unity and support.

Actress and fashionista, Sarah Jessica Parker, says she had to face sexism during her stint at a design house because of which she is apprehensive about taking on further jobs in the fashion industry.

	"I was brought in to help run a fashion company for about a year (although I don't want to name names). I was shocked to experience an old-fashioned attitude about women and business: women had titles but were treated as figure heads.
	"So it wasn't one negotiation, but an ongoing negotiation to make it clear that my voice was just as important, and that if they wanted me to be an active participant, it had to be an open ...
