"Troublemaking 'gangsta' rapper Ice Cube made a video taking aim at white-collar wrongdoers like Enron and Halliburton, then promptly partnered with another white-collar, white-run wrongdoer, Microsoft, which has been punished for antitrust violations on two continents and has fomented a virtual army of haters."

"Lost in all the Elliot Spitzer hoopla is yesterday's REAL bombshell: Star Jones and Al Reynolds are splitting after three and a half glorious years of connubial bliss! The response to this is basically one of 'What the fuck took so long?' but it's also, 'Could he possibly have lost interest the second she was booted off The View, only to get semi aroused again when she landed a cable contract, then see his fascination fade once again when THEY dumped her too?' A tabloid reports that Al had rented a condo in Miami (Gee, THAT'S not gay) ..." (Musto)

Held at the Donna Karan store on Madison Avenue and benefiting ECPAT, which seeks to end the sexual exploitation of children, yummy mummies and their kids arrived in their galoshes and raincoats to join co-hosts Jackie Astier and Yvonne Force Villareal (who later took son Cuatro to catch the Whitney Biennial) in catching a live performance by Brady Rymer and the Little Band That Could while overdosing on sugar thanks to unlimited cotton candy, heart-shaped PB&J sandwiches, apple juice, and grilled cheese served on trays accented with--this being Karan's store--orchids and hydrangeas ... No such sheltered luck for Cynthia Rowley and her daughter, Gigi, who were unrelenting in their pursuit of a cupcake. 'We got hit by a wave of water when this fire truck roared past us at the curb,' Rowley lamented, her pea coat still damp. 'I had to dry Gigi out.'"
