Media-Whore D'Oevres



"Whether a child or a brand, entering the double digits is a major milestone. Last night, Sephora celebrated a decade in business in superlative style at the Angel Orensanz Foundation. VIPs like Kelly Osbourne, Nicky Hilton, Charlotte Ronson and sis Annabelle Dexter Jones took to the upper deck to jam out to tunes spun by Samantha Ronson (accompanied by none other than Lindsay Lohan). Downstairs, chicettes enjoyed sets from Natasha Bedingfield and Ashanti." (Fashionweekdaily)

"Die Soldaten, the iconic 20th-century opera by German composer Bernd Alois Zimmermann, was presented in a dramatic new production by Lincoln Center Festival 08 in association with the Park Avenue Armory .. The evening began with cocktails at 6, followed by a dinner a half hour later. At ten to 8, we all moved down to the vast Drill Room. Among the crowd on this operatic adventure: Susan and Elihu Rose .. Kathy and Ace Greenberg, Senator Liz Krueger .. Arie and Coco Kopelman." (NYSocialDiary)

"JUST when you thought he'd hit rock bottom... things have got even WORSE for sozzled Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood. The rambling old rocker—holed up in rehab at The Priory—is so confused he keeps FORGETTING who he's in love with.
Meanwhile, betrayed wife Jo keeps CHANGING her mind about whether she'll forgive him or not. He only agreed to go into rehab when devastated Jo—married to him for 23 years— said she wanted a divorce. She screamed at him: 'It's over. We've reached the end of the road.' At a low ebb earlier this week, Jo even admitted to pals: 'Ronnie is welcome to that Russian tart. I have had enough now.'"

"Richest man in rap Jay-Z likes to flash his cash on his people. Beyonce's fella thanked his 40-strong entourage with a ($23,982) Japanese meal at swanky Ithaca in Manchester after his gig at MEN Arena on Saturday. Our mole says: 'Jay's flunkies ordered the ($103) Wagyu beef, while Jay had sea bass. He was so impressed he hired the chef to come on tour with him!' After ($1199) bubbly and ($199) cognacs, Jay left a ($2997) tip." (3AMGirls)

"After locking up his party’s presidential nomination, Barack Obama’s fundraising operation came roaring back to life in June, generating more than a million dollars on five days, including a whopping $25 million that came in on the last day of the month. His one-day haul represents nearly half of his monthly total and more than Republican rival John McCain generated for the entire month. During the month, McCain did not have a single day in which he raised a million dollars." (Politico)
