A Little of the Old In and Out

In: Vanity Fair Oscar Party. Graydon Carter speaks with Fashionweekdaily on his infamous party:

"Carter revealed that he fell into the role of Oscar nights most coveted party thrower by accident, after an innocent dinner at Mortons in Beverly Hills with Steve Tisch. 'Id just as soon be at home in bed, eating Chinese food and screaming at all the actors like everyone else is doing' cracked Carter. 'But this party just grew and grew.'

"Vanity Fairs exclusive party also gave the stars something to get excited about. 'There was a period when the actors werent even coming to the Oscars,' the editor-in-chief recalled. 'They thought it was boring and old, like an old-folks home. But then they learned how to dress up.'

Wait a second, hold up -- at what point in time did actors stop coming to the Oscars? Is this some super-secret mysterious Seventh Room Knowledge? I must have missed that one.

Out: Dolly Parton's Double D Breasts. Ananova reports that the country music icon's double D breasts will soon go the way of the dodo:

"Dolly first had silicone implants in her 20s, and again in her 30s, before needing a reduction ten years later when 'they started dragging on the floor.'

"The 58-year-old, who says even support bras cut into her shoulders, said: 'My boobs are killing me - and I don't know if I can stand the pain any longer.'

"Doctors have told the star her chest needs to be dramatically shrunk to prevent permanent damage to her back and shoulders. "The singer added: 'My boobs have been a trademark for me - but I've paid one hell of a price.'"

Well, you know, as Anthony Michael-Hall said so wisely beyond his years in Weird Science, more than a mouthful and you risk permanent tongue sprain.

In: Imran Khan, Class Act. It can't be easy seeing tabloid reports of your stunning wife, of whom you have only recently separated with, the mother of your children, canoodling on Mediterranean beaches with Hugh Grant -- that lucky goddamn bastard -- but Imran Khan is exercising Zen-like tranquility and a graceful nobility in the face of his reality:

"In his first interview since the divorce, Khan told Hello! magazine that he had been distressed by rumours about the timing of his wife's relationship with (Hugh) Grant.

"'Let me categorically state that there was no infidelity in our marriage of nine years,' Khan was quoted as saying. "It hurts when you hear these insinuations. 'No marriage could have ended in such an amicable way if a third party had been involved.' Khan said he had given his blessing to the relationship between Jemima, 30, and Grant, 43. 'Jemima is obviously a very attractive woman and I knew she would meet someone new and find a new life,' he said."

Good man.

And, also In, Vindicated, Michael Musto. Last week's outings by mainstream media and blogs of Congressman David Dreier and Cynthia Nixon only prove how hypocritical the press was back in the day, says Musto in his Web Extra:

"What about the media outing of CYNTHIA NIXON, so unabashedly carried out in both the Daily News and the Post? Some of the same columnists who are now either breaking that story or jumping on it used to crucify the likes of me and outing pioneer Michelangelo Signorile for routinely announcing the gay sexuality of celebrities. But years of whittling down at prejudices have made gayness more reportable, especially since the entertainment landscape now includes positive out gay images, making queers more visible and appealing to the masses. (Sex and the City itself, interestingly enough, helped contribute to that phenomenon.)"
