"Georgette Mosbacher held her annual Holiday cocktail party last night in her Fifth Avenue apartment. This is one of the highlights of the Christmas/Holiday season in New York because Georgette gives a Very Good party ... Last night, for example in the flow of rooms, around the buffet, quaffing the bubbly, were Monica Crowley, Bill O’Reilly, and Rush Limbaugh, separately, that is. Mr. O’Reilly in person looks like a long, tall, almost-ornery son of an Irishman. Mr. Limbaugh looks a little like Spanky from Our Gang, grown up in sunnier climes. And Ms. Crowley is a very pretty woman with a warm, friendly smile and bright eyes." (NYSocialDiary)
"Wu-Tang Clan have been all over the place in late 2007, with Raekwon performing at the J.A.M. Awards last month, Ghostface doing Hip Hop Live!, RZA on the road, and Wu about to set off-- not to mention the arrival of Ghostface's Big Doe Rehab and the first Wu record in six years, 8 Diagrams. And then of course, we have GZA's pair of performances at the Knitting Factory, the first of which went down last night and saw his 1995 classic Liquid Swords cut up, reworked, enhanced by enthusiastic crowd participation, and temporarily abandoned in favor of Wu-Tang or Ol' Dirty Bastard songs."

"Donna Karan's annual holiday party is always an end-of-the-year treat, and Tuesday night's shindig was no exception. Held at the Stephan Weiss Studio in the West Village, the space afforded guests, most of whom work for the designer in some capacity or another, a symbiotic balance of loud and festive downstairs or calm and Zen-like upstairs, where the quarters were decked out in large orchid plants, candles, and low-lying lounge sofas ... Making a fashionably late arrival was Coleman Feltes. Mingling with the likes of Dan Baker and Gabby Karan de Felice over plates of shrimp scampi and lamb, the celebrated deejay, a favorite of Valentino, Marc Jacobs, and Tom Ford's, revealed that he's been asked by Karan to develop music for her Urban Zen initiative. 'We're working on trying to figure out how to incorporate music into Urban Zen,' he said of the project, which is still in its infancy stages." (Fashionweekdaily)
"Mr. Mickey and his trusty pal Michael Musto (whose fabulous book La Dolce Musto is available at Amazon.com and makes a great last minute hollandaise gift!) recently spent a fabulous weekend in Providence, Rhode Island. MM had made a cameo appearance in Providence a few years ago but this was the first real visit and Providence is goooorgeous! So many cute restaurants and gay bars (thanks to the kids from Brown and RISD) to say nothing of the blocks of amazing Georgian architecture. This city is a jewel. Johnson & Wales Culinary University is there which helps explain the cavalcade of scrumptuous cuisine. We were lucky enough to meet with the openly gay mayor David Cicilline (our sources say he's shacked up with a local TV newscaster but there is no official 'first lady')." (Papermag)
"Covering Mrs. Clinton in particular can feel like watching a candidate through thick aquarium glass—she sees you but can’t hear your questions no matter how hard you tap. As a result, the reporters who cover her sometimes seem positively starved for small kindnesses. For the most part, the food provided to journalists on the Clinton campaign bus, while plentiful, is very, very bad. A vegetable wrap turns out to be a mayonnaise burrito, the pizza slices are tiny, like Trivial Pursuit wedges. The campaign aides dole out Tums like press releases." (Observer)
"I caught Mike Huckabee defending his Christmas campaign ad to Meredith Vieira. Vieira pressed him on the issue of whether the bookshelf was subliminally framed as a cross in the ad ...What the ad is clearly, unambiguously saying, without aid of any psycho-juju, is: 'I am a deeply Christian man.' And, only slightly more subtextually: 'Jesus wants Mitt Romney to stop running attack ads about me.'" (TimeMagazine)
"When a Roitfeld’s involved, it’s never a run-of-the-mill affair. Carine Roitfeld jetted to New York over the weekend to celebrate her son Vladimir’s 23rd birthday. Hosting a dinner at her favorite Manhattan restaurant, Indochine, the intimate family gathering drew daughter Julia Restoin Roitfeld and close friends Lily Donaldson (Vladimir’s squeeze) and Stavros Niarchos."
