"Jade Jagger is proving to be a most congenial host. Clearly not content with having just one Belvedere Vodka Jagger Dagger party in London last week, she threw another one at the VIP Lounge in Cannes last night .. Party-lover P Diddy was at his finest, puffing on a giant cigar as he chatted to Mike Tyson. Earlier in the evening, Goldie Hawn looked a little unsteady as she left the 'pre-Jagger-Dagger' party aboard one of Cannes myriad yachts." (Thisislondon)

"We thought after Jude Law's doomed relationship with Sienna Miller it might have put him off young, blonde party girls for life. Not a chance. The receding dad of four, 35, arrived at Cannes fresh from a wild Saturday night when he hit the town with model Kimberly Stewart, 28. And where had the Hollywood actor taken his hot date? Er, to the 195 club in Epping, Essex, a haunt of C-list celebs and WAGs. It appears Jude and Kimberly arrived at the venue's bar around midnight and began sinking bottles of £170 pink champagne. They couldn't keep their hands off each other either. A source says: 'Everyone was stunned when they walked in together - it was obvious they were an item by the way they kept snogging each other.'"

"I was heartbroken to learn that tabloided lovebirds Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer dropped by Hudson Bar & Books last week. It's my favorite completely unknown high-class place to sit and have a drink, a smoke, and a read--and since no one I know engages in that last pursuit, I never have to worry about running into anyone there. And people light up cigars there! ... The cutely quiet, civilized, and utterly bizarre little enclave of class in the midst of the West Village could now be ruined before it even really started and I have to blame the trendseeking Jen and John for this. Like it's not enough that they pulled Jessica Simpson's heart out and stomped it to the ground." (Musto)

"Resplendent in a teal Dior gown plucked straight off the recent cruise show runway, Samantha Boardman Rosen nearly stole the show from her real estate and art mogul husband Aby at his 48th birthday bash Thursday night ... Beautiful foliage and hundreds of votives thanks to Bronson Van Wyck decorated the exquisite neo-Italian Renaissance style townhouse on East 71st Street that, at 45 feet wide, is purported to be one of the widest residence in Manhattan. The 21,200-square-foot space more than adequately accommodated the couple's A-list friends like Jeff Koons, Peter Brant, Tom Sachs, Jane Holzer, Tico Mugrabi, Lela Rose, Amanda Brooks, Celerie Kemble, Jared Kushner, and Renee Rockefeller. Bob Colacello and Peggy Siegal made cameos, but ducked out early to catch a private plane headed to the Cannes Film Festival." (Fashionweekdaily)

"Last night at the Metropolitan Museum there was an opening reception of an exhibition of Medieval and Renaissance Treasures from the Victoria and Albert Museum (referred to by practically everyone as the V&A) ... After the reception Diana Quasha, wearing the hat of chairman of the American Friends of the Victoria and Albert Museum hosted a dinner at her aerie in the Beacon Court tower for guests of honor Paul Ruddock, Chairman and of the V&A and Mark Jones, director of the V&A ... Mrs. Quasha, who is most familiar to NYSD readers because her pro-active interest in and support of the Lenox Hill Neighborhood House, gave a dinner for sixteen including Alfred and Judy Taubman, Monica and Walter Noel, Henry Arnhold, Emmanuel Perrin (President of Van Cleef), Howard Cox, to meet Mssrs. Ruddock and Jones as well as V&A curator Paul Williamson and Development director Jane Lawson." (NYSocialDiary)

"The Democratic nomination? Barack Obama will have the delegates he needs to claim it. What hasn’t been resolved yet is how fiercely and for how long Hillary Clinton will challenge him. The outcome of Tuesday’s primaries could go a long way to determining this. The votes in Kentucky and Oregon are the last Democratic contests scheduled before a May 31 meeting of the Democratic National Committee’s Rules and Bylaws Committee, a panel that figures to return to the obscurity it richly deserves as soon as this campaign is over."

"'How can you ever get sick of this? It's just divine,' exclaimed Eva Herzigova at the annual Chopard Trophy party at the Carton Hotel ...Meanwhile, gracious Chopard host Caroline Gruosi Scheufele did the best to keep the guests like Christina Ricci, Annelise Peterson, Stefano Tonchi, Edward Norton, Victoria Silvstedt and Hal Rubenstein entertained. The company staged an elaborate fashion show featuring dozens of looks as the champagne flowed and black tie waiters passed out everything from steak tartare to octopus to lingonberry ice cream treats. While Adrien Brody and Elsa Pataky daintily fed one another, Salma Hayek surprised guests with her inspired dancing to the live Cuban music of Andy Garcia's band. 'You only live once, so I decided to move my feet around a little bit,' she smiled. 'Great party, great Havana music--why not?'" (Fashionweekdaily)
