Media-Whore D'Oevres



"It was a case of recycling rather than reinvention for Madonna last night as she pulled out her tried and tested move - a lesbian kiss - during her show in Paris last night. The singer, who is rapidly approaching 50, locked lips with one of her female backing dancers during a private concert in the French capital, just like she did with Britney Spears at the MTV Awards more than five years ago."

"CONGRESSIONAL SOURCE: Hillary having trouble finding superdelegates who will meet with her... 'No one wants to see her today'..." (DrudgiePoo)

"Lately, I've been trying to get out in a much less redundant manner. Let me explain myself: You can go to some fierce people-party any old evening and see the same five social types that are at all of those sort of gigs. You can go to Beatrice and get pushed around by a room jam-packed with hipstery fashion interns all night, any night; or Gramercy and guzzle champagne and bop your head to the beat of some track you've never heard. As I assume you can all deduce from my tone, this sort of "nightlife" gets, well, repetitive to say the least. So, in an effort to mix it up, I decided to try something (sort of) new. A concert. I know what you're thinking, 'ooooooooh way to break the vicious cycle,' but it turned out to be everything I expected it to be and more. So last Wednesday night, my good friend, model -- and now actress. Um, Hello? Gossip Girl -- Lydia Hearst, invited me and room full of fun New York social types and friends from home to see her boyfriend, Joe Freimuth, perform live under the monicker Joe Barney at The Bitter End in SoHo."

"Talk about a superstar friendship forged in the heavens... we can reveal that Posh and Becks totally bonded on board a private jet with gorgeous George Clooney ...George, Posh and Becks hitched a lift in Giorgio Armani's private jet, flying 2,800 miles to New York ahead of the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute Gala, the Oscars of the fashion world.
The trio then took off again and had a riot on the rest of the journey ... 'He totally digs Victoria's dry, very British sense of humour and gets her jokes, which a lot of Americans don't.'" (3AMGirls)

"Rush Limbaugh, between crowing about the success and attention of his 'Operation Chaos,' switched sides in the Democratic primary this morning. 'I now urge the Democratic superdelegates to go publicly make your mind up for Obama,' he said. Earlier, he said, 'I'm now tempted to tell superdelegates to pick Obama because I now believe he would be the weakest nominee.' Limbaugh had been urging his listeners to support Hillary as the only chance for Republican victory in November, and to extend the Democratic primary. Exit polls and anecdotes suggest that many did." (Politico)

"A Kate Moss sighting is hardly unusual at Milk Studios, but Tuesday night's Agent Provocateur bash brought the supermodel there for some after-work revelry (for a change). The sublime mannequin is starring in a Nick Knight-directed bridal campaign entitled 'White Wedding,' and to fete its debut, she appeared amongst the mere mortals who flocked, star-struck, to the terrace of Milk's notorious penthouse, swaying (and later dancing) to the tunes of DJ Jauretsi. Guests including Rinko Kikuchi, Jeffrey Costello, Robert Tagliapietra, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Jessica Joffe, Sari Gueron, the Misshapes, Zoe Kravitz, Lake Bell, Damon Dash, Byrdie Bell, Genevieve Jones, Phillip Lim, and Richard Chai were witnesses to, yes, the marriage of Moss and Provocateur."

"Giorgio Armani came to town and FIT and its Couture Council of the Museum at FIT gave a luncheon, along with Harper’s Bazaar and its editor-in-chief, Glenda Bailey; and Swarovski, the crystal luxury brand ... Glenn Close was the presenter. She told us how she’d loved Giorgio since Richard Gere in 'American Gigolo.' She related that she had actually 'auditioned' for the female starring role in the film and lost out. Never mind; she got to taunt Michael Douglas in his Armanis, and now she’s got a closet full of Armani and still wears the first jacket she bought." (NYSocialDiary)
