"On Saturday in Beverly Hills, filmmaker and renowned party-thrower Brett Ratner transformed the backyard of his Benedict Canyon home into a day spa. The reason: to showcase the new Biodynamic Beauty cosmetics range recently launched by all-natural company Jurlique. In keeping with the unlikely pairing of Ratner and the French beauty brand, the crowd was pretty eclectic: highly respected directors like Francis Ford Coppola, James Toback, and Oliver Stone; less-respected tabloid fodder like Jared Leto, Scott Caan, and Paris Hilton; the incomparable Stevie Wonder; and actresses Rosanna Arquette, Ileanna Douglas, and Salma Hayek."

"Seeking to both elevate and diminish his rival's status, John McCain is up with a new ad featuring images of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears but declaring that they take a back seat to Barack Obama. 'He's the biggest celebrity in the world,' says the announcer of Obama, set to images from his massive Berlin speech. 'But is he ready to lead?'" (Politico)

"Wait, let me revise that headline a little bit: Lindsay and Samantha tried THE Cock--the richly atmospheric and at times wonderfully seedy gay bar on Second Avenue on Monday. It's the same place, in fact, where I had a wild dry-humping session with an Argentinian dogwalker on a recent Wednesday. But enough about me. Linds and Sam were tres cute, making out and snuggling in between digging to Josh Sparber's DJ smorgasbord." (Musto)

"Last Saturday night in East Hampton at the estate of Courtney Sale Ross, friends and family gathered to celebrate the inaugural event of the 40th anniversary of the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial, including his widow Ethel and some of his children." (NYSocialDiary)

"... Last night marked the finale of one of our favorite summer treats -- Diego Garcia's summer residency at the Bowery Hotel aka the Belvedere Rehearsals.
