"Any fabulous summer has to include a trip to Robert Wilson's Watermill Center--and on Saturday night, Bob (as always, in Armani) threw open his doors for an evening of outrageous art and fun. Wearing my dress-code-prescribed 'decadent chic,' I had its creator, Roland Nivelais, on my arm for good measure. As we strolled up to the vibrant strains of Shakespeare's Wild Sisters from the front garden, Howard Stern and Beth Ostrosky (in Hervé Léger) disembarked from their stretch limousine ..Appropriately enough for an election year, Watermill was far from free of politics. New York's new First Lady, Michelle Paige Paterson, was presented to the Hampton crowd by Parrish Art Museum's newest board member, Alexandra Stanton, while the son of our 52nd Governor and brother of our current Attorney General, Chris Cuomo, escorted his wife, Christina Greeven Cuomo."

"PEACHES Geldof's dramatic 999 collapse was caused by an overdose of HEROIN—the drug that killed her mum Paula Yates, we can reveal. The off-the-rails teenager is thought to have been experimenting with the deadly drug for the FIRST time. It is believed she did not inject heroin—one of the most dangerous ways of taking it—but heated and inhaled it through a rolled-up bank note. Friends feared she was following the same path as tragic TV star Paula, who died in 2000 aged 41. But Peaches, 19, has told them last Sunday's drama had been a massive wake-up call—and that she is going into rehab." (Newsoftheworld)

"Showtime is delving into the depths of the 70's with its new show Studio. While still in development, producers say the project will look at New York City nightlife through the lens of its oft-heralded dark heart: Studio 54. 'The show is less about the history of Studio 54 than it is about New York in the late '70s, what people were going through, the political and social issues,' writer Chad Hodge told the Hollywood Reporter. 'Studio 54 is the backdrop for exploring that.'" (Observer)

"On Saturday afternoon, from noon to six Donna Karan and Charla Lawhon editor of InStyle hosted a SuperSaturday, with Kelly Ripa as the Special Guest Host at the world famous designer garage sale benefiting the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund." (NYSocialDiary)
