Partying Like It's Paris 1940

Socialgay and soon-to-be reality show victim Kristian Laliberte isn't too worried about the financial crisis, even though he works in PR. He told the Observer that the parties might be a little less lavish, but will basically be fine. (Isn't that what clueless Parisian socialites were saying on the eve of the German invasion?) More »

More (Circumstantial) Evidence that Socialgay Kristian Laliberte Rats Out His Friends

"Ugly and Dirty... that's all..." someone named "Nahant" wrote on the CityFile profile for a one Peter Davis, the "social queen," fashion writer, and Tinsley Mortimer friend. We think that "Nahant" might be our favorite socialgay Kristian Laliberte (surprise!), who used to date Davis and grew up in the "magical" resort town of Nahant, Massachusetts. More »

Someone Get Kristian Laliberte a Spin Doctor!

Socialgay PR flack Kristian Laliberte (rhymes with oh-kay) is surprisingly bad at managing his own public relations. His identity has already been stolen over the Internet and he thinks Page Six magazine's Joshua Stein is writing an article about him! (He isn't, though.) How to spin the situation in his favor? Write a long, rambling email, with allegations ranging from dubious to untrue. Among the most important rumors he'd like to debunk? "Suggestions of me air kissing those who hate me are so off base it's laughable. I'm a germophobic and notoriously shy." Also, "I know for a fact that the people behind this sinister prank will be revealed in as little as two weeks time." More »

Kristian Laliberte: Liar

Why lie? It makes things so much more complicated. And a PR flack—like absurd socialgay Kristian Laliberte—should know by now how to twist the truth instead of changing it outright. Laliberte's email and Facebook were recently hacked into. "My PR efforts are focused on getting positive press for my clients—-my friends are only mentioned (in a positive light) to news outlets if and when they are involved with events I am working on," he wrote us today, in response to allegations that he leaks information on his frenemies. But Laliberte does leak info—not all positive—about people he knows. And we can tell you that for a fact! More »

Did Socialgay Kristian Laliberte Rat Out His Friends?

Socialgay Kristian Laliberte (rhymes with ohkaaay), who works in PR and will soon be a Hamptons reality star, had his identity stolen on the internet. Someone hacked into his Facebook and Gmail and sent mean messages to all his frenemies. But there's a twist, as Page Six Magazine's Joshua David Stein reports on his blog: the person who hacked Laliberte's accounts may have found evidence of what we've always suspected: he leaks stuff on all his "friends"!

Kristian Laliberte's Identity Stolen! How Will He Know Who He Is?

Oh noes! Publicist/stylist/funboy-about-town Kristian Laliberte's Facebook page was hacked and someone's been sending his friends the most horrible messages! "Dear All," he writes. "This is Kristian and this message is real. Sometime between midnight and nine am, my facebook account was hacked into. A similar experience happened with my gmail two weeks ago-where fake emails were forwarded to an unknown address. The perpetrator sent slews of disgusting fake messages to many of my contacts, but I do not know who all received these. I am categorically letting everyone know that this happened and I'm so sorry if you were upset for one moment and caught up in this mess." Clues as to the perp's ID and a sample of the offending emails below. More »

Gayfights Somebody must have snatched a photo of last night's shoving match between Kristian Laliberte, Gawker's favorite benefit-hopping gay, and Derek Blasberg, self-appointed arbiter of socialite status. Of course, it wasn't much of a match. Laliberte—accused by Blasberg of bad-mouthing the Style.com reporter—was reduced to tears, poor dear. Photos to tips@gawker.com.

A Nightmare Becomes Real

Hey, check this out for a concept. What if the characters from your nightmares came back as reality show stars, and you were forced to watch, and blog, and watch yourself blogging, forever? As we reported this morning, two sets of Gawker characters are working on their own reality shows. We just got hold of Page Six magazine, which claims NBC begins filming Star magazine talking head Julia Allison and her fellow Gawker "angels" in April. Allison's It Girls production may run into the crew filming Kristian Laliberte, and assorted fellow socialites, who are scheduled to begin shooting The 10021 for ABC around the same time. Here, from the New York Post's Sunday insert, is a scan of the spread. ENLARGE»

Let's Blog!

It was cringeworthy enough when pundit-turned-blogger Arianna Huffington began talking about her cronies submitting a "blog" as if the word referred to an individual post, rather than an entire site. Now another web newbie, Steven Brill's socialite daughter, is mangling the lingo. Emily Brill ran into absurd socialgay Kristian Laliberte at Bloomingdale's menswear department last night. She summoned the fashion publicist over for a photo. “Okay Kristian, get over here. Let’s blog.” (Laliberte's desire to promote his label, Unruly Heir, must have trumped the embarrassment of such a hanger-on.)

The Greatest Reality Show That Never Was

It's so disappointing that Emily Brill and Kristian Laliberte (second from right and second from left, respectively) won't be appearing together after all in the planned Manhattan version of The Hills: the two empty socialites are already stabbing each other in the back like reality television pros. Brill, the publishing heiress, says she dropped out of Stick Figure Production's show because she wanted respect. "My writing is my priority. Not fame, not parties, not glamour. No short cuts. I'm going to earn respect through good, err, excellent writing." That's an option unavailable to her supposed friend, language-mangling fashion publicist Laliberte, who remains involved with the horrific reality show, according to Brill. But that's not the end of the story. More »
