"Whether the Sarah Palin VP-pick ultimately pays off for John McCain remains to be seen. But for one group of Americans, Gov. Palin's sudden arrival on the national scene promises to be an instant boon: comics! .. We checked in this afternoon with Mr. Michaels' office in New York to get some answers, and according to Marc Liepis, a spokesperson for the show, the (SNL) cast is still working on it. They won't have to crash anything too fast either: the first new episode is slated for a week from Saturday." (Observer)
"No construction project has ever been so chic. Entering the yet to be completed standard hotel Thursday night for Interview's September issue launch party meant encounters with exposed wire, cement, electrical tape and enough exotic dancers to make it all seem secondary. Bartenders wore hard hats, even Glenn O'Brien toted around his own construction hat with a sticker reading 'Supreme' on it. Guests took an elevator to the 17th floor for cocktails and revelry. With a Nobu sushi bar on one side of the room and a band rapping Barack Obama propaganda on the other, the likes of Tommy Hilfiger, Donna Karan, Diane von Furstenberg, Tory Burch, the Olsen twins, Lauren Hutton and a slew of models found a spot somewhere in between. Fabien Baron arrived with his daughter, who glowed with pride." (Fashionweekdaily)
"Baltimore's own Barry Levinson is no stranger to political films: He's satirized Washington in 'Wag the Dog' and 'Man of the Year.' And now, he's going all documentary on us. Levinson, who's also the man behind 'Diner' and 'Bugsy,' has been traveling with the Creative Coalition's slate of actors and entertainment types at the conventions for the last two weeks, collecting footage for a film he's calling 'PoliWood.' 'I'm trying to see what the dynamic is between the actors and politicians,' he said on the red carpet of the Creative Coalition's gala on Wednesday night." (DCExaminer)
"Oprah Winfrey may have introduced Democrat Barack Obama to the women of America -- but the talkshow queen is not rushing to embrace the first woman on a Republican presidential ticket! Oprah's staff is sharply divided on the merits of booking Sarah Palin, sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT. 'Half of her staff really wants Sarah Palin on,' an insider explains. 'Oprah's website is getting tons of requests to put her on, but Oprah and a couple of her top people are adamantly against it because of Obama.' One executive close to Winfrey is warning any Palin ban could ignite a dramatic backlash!" (DrudgeReport)
"Today New York Fashion Week kicks off with a bang, and my Spring '09 presentation starts in 4 hours... and I’m still missing a pair of shoes! It's a boiling hot day and we’re showing on the roof of new building on W. 14th Street at 6 p.m. I’m now getting vaguely panicked. I’ve also got to remember not to enjoy myself too much at my party hosted by Arden Wohl and The Supper Club with a DJ set by 2 Mandy DJs, as my first big sales appointment is 9 a.m. tomorrow... Uh oh!: (Papermag)
"The crowd circulating around Christie's Thursday night wasn't your usual mix of art collectors and international patrons. Chloe Sevigny, Agyness Dean, Mark Haddawy, Katy Rodriguez and Henry Holland joined executives at the auction house in hosting a fashion week kick off celebration and preview of Christie's fall sales of post-war and contemporary art, impressionist and modern art and Resurrection: Avante Garde fashion. Thierry Mugler sponsored the event, which showcased iconoclastic British design and an appropriate crowd followed. Kelly Osbourne exchanged digits with Peaches Geldof, as Holland effused his love of collecting." (Fashionweekdaily)
