"Susan and Donald Rappaport invited a group of fellow cave dweller pals last Wednesday for a supper party they called a 'celebration of the season' and was it ever that ... Wednesday night the main topic was Scott McClellan’s book on his years as White House press secretary. Even though its incendiary contents had been in the news cycle for a full day, the cocktail hour the reactions were still in the realm of astonishment, and that was for the tough to astonish. They were less astonished by chatter going around town of the possibility of Defense Secretary Robert Gates keeping his same job in a hypothetical Obama Administration. The lack of dismay is probably because Gates is liked on both sides of the aisle." (WashingtonSocialDiary)

"Muppet Of The Week goes to Roberto Cavalli. The Italian designer launched his exclusive wine range at a swanky do at London's Automat restaurant... only to run out of the new wine! With guests including Sophie Ellis Bextor and Fergie, we're told: 'Only 90 bottles of plonk were provided and they ran out quickly. So they had to dish out cheap house wine - it was hilarious!'"

"Last night, the magazine's editor Jim Nelson hosted a cocktail party at Ago in honor of the 2008 CFDA menswear nominees--Michael Bastian, Thom Browne, Tom Ford, Patrik Ervell, Tim Hamilton and Scott Sternberg -- and rarely have so many delightful, intelligent and handsome men been so ubiquitous. New York's finest -- Yigal Azrouel, Adam Lippes, Jeff Halmos, Sam Shipley, Jason Wu, Thakoon Panichgul, David Lauren, John Bartlett, Patrick Robinson, Jeremy Kost, John Varvatos --crammed into Robert De Niro's new restaurant to toast their compatriots."

"'When these girls walk into a party, people notice,' said wild-haired necktie designer Alexander Olch of the 20 fashion-forward females honored at men.style.com's packed Wednesday-night bash. Olch should know, having been part of the ten-man panel that was enlisted to perform the arduous task (worse than doing your taxes, right?) of crafting the site's second annual list, officially titled 'Women of Fashion: 20 Who Make the World More Glamorous.' Other panelists enjoying the breezy night air—and the bottomless flutes of Veuve Clicquot—at the city's latest rooftop hot spot, Salon de Ning, included designers Rogan Gregory and Rag & Bone duo Marcus Wainwright and David Neville."

"Quite how to do justice to the strange phenomenon that is Viktor & Rolf is a problem that has teased fashion editors for years. Me, anyway. They are fashion's odd men out, a Dutch pair who dress like twins, speak in a serious monotone, always in agreement, never interrupting one another. It's an effect that, like Gilbert & George, makes them deliberately and disconcertingly hard to tell apart, as well as near-impossible to fathom." (Telegraph)
"I was so stunned by the news that Clay Aiken is set to be a daddy that I spit out my Ambien cocktail and forgot to even comment about it. But now that I've had some time to pick myself off the floor and regroup on the subject, I must say this development makes perfect sense. After all, gay men are having babies all the time! .. I wish Clay the best in his newest intergenerational endeavor. And I hope he and his older lady friend slash producer are as happy as Randy Travis and his!" (Musto)
