Media-Whore D'Oeuvres



"Call it dedication to her craft: Kate Hudson says she got into character a little too much on the set of Bride Wars, when she inadvertently punched costar Anne Hathaway in the face during the movie's catfight scene. 'We were really tired, and I had this big rock on my finger. ... I whacked Annie in the face so hard,' Hudson said on the Rachael Ray show Friday. 'She was like: No, no, keep going because she was so into it ... Two hours later, she's sitting in the back of a car with an ice pack on her face. I was so bad. I really clocked her.'" (People)



"A quick scan of the room: Anna Sui, Patricia Field, Gabi from threeASFOUR, Kembra Pfahler, Inez and Vinoodh, Agyness Deyn (radiant in her day-glo sequined Sprouse jacket), and Marc Jacobs all in black with a splash of color from his Sprouse Vuitton leggings. The scene was fittingly neon-hot as the downtown all-stars came out in full force for the opening party for the Stephen Sprouse exhibit at Deitch Projects last night. The show, a mix of his eternally cool punk fashions, towering neon rock ’n’ roll paintings, and a spectacular tableaux of Polaroids, could have held our attention all night."

"Last night, Louis Vuitton hosted a Stephen Sprouse-travaganza, beginning at the Louis Vuitton store in SoHo, moving on to Deitch Projects on Wooster Street and ending up at the Bowery Ballroom with a performance by the legendary rock goddess Debbie Harry."

"Mates of State and Black Kids are going on tour together, and according to their tour dates, they collectively are doing well enough to play both Music Hall of Williamsburg (4/5) and Webster Hall (4/6)." (BrooklynVegan)

"It’s official: Marian Robinson, the 71-year-old mother-in-law of President-elect Barack Obama, will be moving into the White House, transition officials said on Friday. In fact, Mrs. Robinson is already in town, helping to smooth the family’s personal transition as Mr. Obama, his wife, Michelle, and their two daughters prepare for new lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. 'She is here to help them get up and running,' said Katie McCormick Lelyveld, a spokeswoman for Mrs. Obama. 'She will determine in the coming months whether or not she wants to stay in D.C. permanently.' In some ways, Mrs. Robinson’s decision to move – at least temporarily — is no real surprise. During the presidential campaign, Mrs. Robinson was a family mainstay, caring for the Obama girls, Sasha and Malia, while their parents were on the road. She took them to school, to piano lesson and dance lessons, cooked their meals, ran their baths and got them to bed on time. She was a critical part of the family’s effort to keep the girls’ lives as normal as possible in the midst of extraordinary times." (NYTimes)
