He gets to fire off only one big shot at the big shots every year, and to make sure that attention is paid, Mr. Blackwell really piles on the bile. This year the best he could do was top his Worst Dressed List with Princess Stephanie of Monaco. Referring to her chopped hair and flair for less than feminine attire, Blackwell, whose little-used first name is Richard, bitingly declared, "Her royal unisex wardrobe entitles her to use either bathroom." Then the clawing got cloying. No. 2 on the list was Joan Collins ("One more pushup and she'll have three chins"), and by the time he got to No. 10, he was reduced to savaging TV's Fall Guy Co-Star Heather Thomas as an "exploding, overstuffed cabbage." A tasteless barrage indeed.
