"Down at the Rainbow Room high above Rockefeller Center, the Couture Council of the Museum at FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology) held its third annual Artistry of Fashion Awards benefit luncheon, honoring fashion designer Isabel Toledo.

Among those said to be in attendance .. were members of the artistic committee including Diane Von Furstenberg, Narciso Rodriguez, James de Givenchy, Lisa Perry, Patricia Field, Cathy Hardwick, Kim Hastreiter .."

"As someone who regularly deals with bold-faced names in all their glitzy grandeur, I appreciate the celebrities who are gracious, charming, and slap you on the back, not with a restraining order. Through the years, I've brilliantly noted that some stars are way more savvy in dealing with press wretches like me than others .. Their behavior truly pays off. In being so nice to the press, they engender lots of good will—and now they've even gotten this blog post about which of them are the nicest of all .." (Musto)
"Britney Spears' mother is set to lift the lid on the troubled singer's life .. Lynne Spears claims Britney was drinking not long after joining joined Disney's Mickey Mouse Club, a U.S. variety television show." (Thisislondon)
"If you're a teen father thrust into the spotlight because your fiancée's mom is suddenly a vice-presidential candidate, how to cope with the stress? For 18-year-old Levi Johnston, the answer is to chew gum obnoxiously on the stage at the Republican National Convention, even while meeting presidential candidate John McCain. Maybe the father to Bristol Palin's baby was just trying to prove that he really is a 'fuckin' redneck' as stated on his MySpace profile." (Gawker)
"To conservatives at the Republican National Convention this week, John McCain's choice of running mate Sarah Palin represented recognition of their clout. For remnants of the party's once-powerful Eastern Establishment, the Minnesota meeting signified a lost opportunity to prod their party toward the political center." (Bloomberg)
"Pregnant 17-year-old Bristol Palin and her 18-year-old boyfriend Levi Johnston displayed their commitment to each other at Wednesday's GOP convention. Johnston debuted a 'Bristol' tattoo on his ring finger, while Bristol rocked what appeared to be an engagement ring. (McCain campaign officials have yet to identify the ring.)" (UsMagazine)
"Ideologically, the pick made sense. Politically, Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) is a very risky dice roll that reflects expediently on McCain's judgment and temperment. Half-baked Alaskan 'Troopergate' rings of 'Reno 911' with county commissioner drive-by shooting thrown in!" (HeardZone)
"Last night Jesse Frohman had an opening at the gallery at the SoHo Grand. He shot those epic pictures of the late great Kurt Cobain shortly before his untimely death in 1994. The show is titled, 'In Bloom,' appropriately enough, and features seven never before seen shots from the epic shoot. You know the pics. They're the ones where Kurt's wearing those funky white-rimmed sunglasses, he's smoking a cigarette in nearly every shot, and there's a cocktail in hand." (Papermag)
