She wore fascinators to casual dates and once took a stroll with a giant, clear umbrella on a sunny day. And lest any of us forget, she put a bird on her head for her wedding with Mr. Big. But it’s not just Carrie who’s dressing like an absolute weirdo these days.

NEW YORK – Carlos Ghosn, the former rock star businessman who fell from grace and fled authorities smuggled in a music instrument box, is getting what his dramatic story deserves — a multi-part documentary series.
