"Dana Foley and Anna Corinna, the New York-based design duo behind fashion-staple label Foley + Corinna, have already carved out their own casually chic niche with their Stanton Street shop, and a strong celebrity following that includes the Simpson sisters, Heidi Klum, and Scarlett Johansson. It’s that strong bold-faced fan base that led them to the West Coast this week, where on Wednesday night they toasted their star clients with Lucky magazine at the Chateau Marmont’s Bungalow One, and revealed the news that they’re scouting locations for an L.A. shop.Another pair of sisters, namely Paris and Nicky Hilton, got the evening started off with a flashbulb frenzy due to their fashionably late arrival, though most guests, including Gabrielle Union, Maggie Grace, Nicollette Sheridan, Taye Diggs, Sanaa Lathan, and Lucky editor Kim France were too embedded in their surroundings to notice."

"Which Congressman From Ohio Uses Hookers? The answer, of course, is ALL OF THEM, but what we really mean is 'Which member of the Ohio delegation in the House has also ordered hookers from the DC Madam?' Larry Flynt is supposedly about to reveal this, maybe tomorrow or some other day." (Wonkette)

"Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) will square off in D.C.’s fundraising arena on Monday against former Sen. Fred Thompson (Tenn.), the man looking to supplant him in the top tier of GOP presidential contenders. McCain is gathering the chiefs of staff of his congressional supporters to raise money from up-and-coming lobbyists on the same night that Thompson has scheduled his first big-dollar Washington fundraiser. McCain is also holding a lunchtime fundraiser earlier in the day in northern Virginia. These dueling fundraising events, creating a first head-to-head match-up, come at a critical time for both men ...Thompson, meanwhile, is looking to pick off McCain’s support, but his delay in formally launching his campaign is raising eyebrows. Thompson’s surrogates have approached McCain’s backers on the Hill and K Street to persuade them to switch allegiances." (TheHill)
