"Attention spendy Republicans: for just $1000 you can hang out with President Bush at the Connecticut home of evil old war criminal Henry Kissinger next weekend." (Wonkette)
"Less than a week after the Barneys New York team joined forces with Bottega Veneta to host a dinner at Barneys Greengrass in honor of Albert Maysles, they rounded up a cool group of hipsters with GQ for a sit-down meal hosted by Chris Huvane and Jason Schwartzman celebrating Band of Outsiders' spring collection ... Roman Coppola, Simon Doonan, Bret Easton Ellis, Jacqui Getty (Schwartzman's cousin), Julie Gilhart, Carla Gugino, Kevin Huvane, Bettina Korek, Gabriel Mann, Jennifer Morrison, and Tom Kalenderian, who spent the cocktail hour showing guests samples of Sternberg's fabric, all gathered around tables lined with red Gerber daisies and rananculus as they chowed down on the surf-and-turf menu of corn on the cob, filet mignon, and lobster."

"At least until today, when Thais turned their eyes back on Asia after a bid from their ancient rival, Vietnam, shook up the rice markets. Rice exporters have lately been bidding to fill the demand from the Philippines, which is said to require at least 500,000 tones of rice on this go around. For medium quality rice, $900 per ton is what $100 a barrel was to light sweet crude: a psychological breakpoint. Vietnam just asked for $1,200 per ton for 25% (read: pretty crappy) rice.That price has sent shock waves across Asia." (Dealbreaker)
"Lindsay Lohan continued to support good friend Samantha Ronson, hanging out at Times Square's Hawaiian Tropic Zone as Ronson spun tunes from midnight to 4 a.m. Sunday. The pair arrived together, both wearing black leather jackets, right on time at 12 a.m. A blond-haired Lohan stationed herself at a table directly behind Ronson's deejay booth in the second level VIP section, which overlooked a packed dance floor." (People)
"Another week, another tase of Scarlett doing Waits. Nothing's changing about our feelings on this record: it is barely average, with decent-to-good Sitek production, forgettable vocals, and fabulous guest spots. We listened to it at Joe's Pub over the winter and stand by our premature evaluation, right down 'Falling Down' being the least bad song on there (congrats everybody!). David Bowie makes his way into the swirling, swelling mix to remind you what a charismatic singing voice sounds like, and Sitek plies enough snowy white space into the latter half to please (read: distract you from what Scarlett's shortcomings)."
