    Hamptons Summer Fashion Still Calls for Decadent Glory

    We thought it sounded like a crock when certain people said the Hamptons this summer was going to be all about "the beach." Just two weekends in, a single social report convinces us the rich are as smug as ever. More »

    Is Barbara Walters Macaulay Culkin's 'Constant'?

    · The answer is probably no, but that didn't stop Seth Green from stumping Barbara Walters with what will surely go down as one of the slyest Lost resets you'll ever see worked into a talk show appearance. Also? We sincerely hope that someone breaks out the webcam when Elisabeth Hasselbeck gets around to watching Party Monster. That would make for the mother of all YouTube reaction videos.

    Live, From New York, It's Saturday Night: Defamer Pays A Visit To Studio 8H

    It's difficult to properly convey to you the excitement level that hits you the second you walk through the revolving doors at 30 Rockefeller Center before a live taping of Saturday Night Live. After all, it's one of the hardest tickets to get in show business. So, unlike a concert or athletic event where you can see the eyes of some attendees glazing over from boredom, everyone who is in attendance is someone who desperately wants to be there. As anyone who is in the building will attest, the energy in these moments is both palpable and kinetic. And that's just in the lobby of the ground floor of the building! More »

    The Nine Most Ambivalence-Inspiring Things Of 2007

    2007: a year of "meh." It was like being drawn and quartered by one team of horses galloping towards terrible and another racing toward excellence and come December, we hadn't moved an inch from where we were last January. Yesterday we talked about things we unreservedly endorsed as good: ironic greeting cards, Elizabeth Bishop, Tionna. But what about those things that straddle the ledger line between goodness and badness? More »

    ICM's Jeff Berg Flips Out On 'NY Press' For "Violating" Claire Danes

    Claire Danes "feels extremely violated" by this week's 4,000-word New York Press cover story, in which the actress is "stalked" by reporter Rebecca Tucker, according to her agents. So distressed was she, it was conveyed, that ICM chairman Jeff Berg, whose company represents her, called up the Press this afternoon to tell editor David Blum to "redact" online a reference to the street where Danes lives. Blum declined. More »

    'Telegraph' Critic Moves In On Temporary Broadway Star Claire Danes

Either she and Telegraph T.V. critic John Preston have crossed the Phantom Tollbooth, where one grows down not up with age, Claire Dane's got her porcelain hands on Marty McFly's hoverboard—or Preston is making a move on milady.

    Claire Danes Is Weird In A Bad Way

    From the mailbag:
    For your 'Claire Danes Is Weird' File: When I was writing for my school paper in Chicago two years ago I was part of a group a low-level journalists that did a roundtable interview with Claire Danes and Jason Schwartzman when they were promoting "Shopgirl." When the interview was over Jason Schwartzman went around the table and shook everyone's hand. Claire said, "Oh, you're shaking everyone's hand? That's so nice. I'll communally shake everyone's hand" and sort of waved her hand in the air. I don't know if she's weird, a germphobe or just a snob. But she's hotter in person than in her movies.
    Man! If Claire Danes really was Angela Chase, we imagine she would have then thought something along the lines of "You know how sometimes the last sentence you said, like, echoes in your brain? And it just keeps sounding stupider? And you have to say something else just to make it stop?" But she's not Angela Chase. It's time for us all to let go of thinking she is.

    Is There A Celebrity Who You Would Actually Do?

    Today we were going to ask you what direction to go in next as we discover Manhattan's most attractive, and therefore important, people. Shall we look for hotties among architects? Headwaiters? Graphic designers? On a particular block of 52nd street? Do let me know. But while looking for a photo to illustrate the post, we hit a snag. What image immediately communicates the concept "hottie?" Ding ding ding: The Office and bad Robin Williams movie star John Krasinski. Mmm. That's when I realized: John Krasinski is the only celebrity who, given the chance, I would really and truly want to do it with. Weird, right? Aren't we all supposed to have a list? And isn't the list supposed to include, like, Brad Pitt? Personally I wouldn't ride that taut-faced gayseemer after having adopted Angelina Jolie's pussy. And while there are other celebrities I find... compelling (Paul Rudd, and Irish hottie Aidan Gillen, and Dominic West from 'The Wire'), there's no one else I'd actually say yes to. He's my Claire Danes, if you will. Who's yours?

    Claire Danes Is Weird In A Good Way

    A recent post by our esteemed colleague Emily Gould noted some mail that we got to the effect that Claire Danes is weird and currently starring in a horrendous movie called Evening. No one is going to debate the quality of the movie (it earned a 26% on Rotten Tomatoes) but as for Claire Danes herself, well, she's our Masada and we'll die in her defense. "Hugh Dancy," the tipster notes, "is the younger cuter Billy Crudup. What is up with Claire Danes, she is a total sicko ... like how can you start dating someone who is the younger "cooler" British version of your old man boyfriend?" Well let's put it this way, Hugh Dancy may well be the younger "cooler" British version of Crudup but we're the even younger even "cooler" American version of Dancy. So keep on keeping on Danes. You're getting warmer, warmer, warmer, hot, hot, hot.

    "I Always Knew Claire Danes Was A Weirdo But This Is TOO Much"

    From our mailbag: "Dear Gawker, I recently had the displeasure of sitting through the snore fest that is "Evening" and wanted to share some thoughts with you. This movie was atrocious in every way ... there wasn't 1 minute of it that was enjoyable ... despite "the greatest actresses of our time" plodding through it. Despite it's grand themes of regret, loss and death, what I took away from the film was this ... Hugh Dancy is the younger cuter Billy Crudup. What is up with Claire Danes, she is a total sicko ... like how can you start dating someone who is the younger "cooler" British version of your old man boyfriend? Fucking weird and gross. I always knew Claire Danes was a weirdo but this is TOO much." Right? Seriously.

    My So-Called Life with Claire Danes

    A couple of weeks ago, I didn't ask Claire Danes out and guess what? Much to my surprise, she said yes to my mind! Since then we haven't been dating, we've not gone shopping in Soho, didn't go to the Box, and recently didn't eat at Morandi where we did or did not play with a cute little Boxer. Sometimes Claire and I just don't go out to lunch together, picking up dosas at Hampton Chutney and not sitting on the steps of Equinox. We even pledged at the $10/month level in the recent WNYC fundraiser not together and I look forward to wearing our tote bags out, though on opposite arms—that way when we hold hands they won't annoyingly fall off our shoulders. That we're enjoying such a fulfilling not-relationship shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. If you take a look at our Claire Danes Gawker Stalker archive, you'll see our offices are essentially in the epicenter of all Claire Danes sightings, which is to say: That we aren't dating was only inevitable.

    'Observer' Mourns "It Girl" Obsolescence Prematurely?

    Remember back when it was possible for people to simultaneously be famous and also seem genuinely cool? Hillary Frey, the new culture editor of the New York Observer, totally does. "An It Girl was out and about; she walked our streets, shared our parks, sat next to us at the International Bar on First Avenue. She was Chlo . Parker. Claire." Sadly, though, those ladies are all now successful in mainstream TV show and movies! (Also, Claire Danes and her English lover were sitting two feet away from Hillary Frey last Tuesday at the Old Town Bar, which is kind of funny.) Also, Our Girls are older and not as wild now. And a new crop of "It Girls" hasn't risen up to replace them, according to Hillary. Why? Oh, oops, it's our fault. More »

    The Gap's Attempt At Recovery Is Totally F-ed

    Lots of hand-wringing and executive-firing has been going on at the Gap lately, mostly because no one is buying their clothes. So like a week ago or something, they came out with a new TV ad which, we assume, is meant to herald the new era of Gap-ness. It's not growing on us! Poor Claire Danes had to wear those awful "Boyfriend" khakis, which just accentuate the fact that the girl—bless her heart!—has meatier thighs than the average Hollywood actress, and that Patrick Wilson, while hot, doesn't look like he's anyone of the female persuasion's boyfriend. And that music. GAH. It hurts our brains to hear it. Who did they focus group this one with, Faith Popcorn? That gal at the Cinnabon store in the Short Hills Mall? Oh right, they did. More »

    Team Party Crash: 'Topic' Magazine Release Party @ The Beatrice Inn

    Despite our considerate mapmaking labors, we've received few invitations to those "A-list" events. Lucky for us, we have some fairly well-connected people around our office, so at the invitation of Gridskipper editor Josh Stein, our Friday evening was spent at the release party for Topic, a completely non-pretentious publication at the completely non-sceney locale of The Beatrice Inn. In case you missed the memo, Topic magazine is
    ...made up of real stories by real people. Our editorial mission: to explore today's world by discovering individuals whose extraordinary life stories intersect with a given topic—and to invite them to tell those stories themselves. No journalists, no middleman. Topic gets its material straight from the people who have lived it.
    It's published a few times a year, each issue with a different - wait for it - topic. Whowouldathunkit? Issue number ten features Games, and Friday's festivities involved grown adults playing Connect Four, fueled by a shitload of Dewar's Scotch. As usual, we collected the standard party shots for your perusal, and party-pal Kate's extended gallery can be found here. After the jump, Editorial Assistant Heather and Kate remember the days when playing Twister was infinitely less painful, and fruitlessly search for David Cross. More »

    NYC Co-op Apartment Dirt Revealed

    If you've ever wanted to paw through the real-estate records of prominent New Yorkers foolish enough to conduct business under their own names, here's your chance. Curbed points out that documents relating to the sale and ownership of co-op apartments — formerly a mysterious, private affair — have abruptly turned up online. Thrill to Jerry Seinfeld's actual signature on his UCC3 termination! No idea what that means, but with a little digging, you can match up real-world events with documentary parallels — as a tipster notes, here's the evidence of Billy Crudup paying off Mary-Louise Parker to the tune of $1,487,359.33 after ditching her for Claire Danes. Or perhaps you'd prefer to gaze lovingly on Ann Coulter's most recent mortgage? And of course, there's Jeffrey Epstein's West End pad (at least we think it's though sadly not "our" Jeffrey Epstein). Much more, but there are only so many hours in the day. Find anything else particularly interesting? Let us know. More »

What a letdown! We're still waiting for an actress to finally answer the incisive "Are you exactly like/nothing like your character?" junket question with five minutes of interpretive dance. More »

    The NYT's Guy Trebay writes, "After years of bad gags about black being the new black, the streets are unexpectedly populated with people wearing trippy stripes, flowered graphics or clothes the colors of Bazooka or the walls of the playhouse where Pee-wee Herman held court." An unofficial poll indicates that this spring color trend hasn't reached the East Village yet. I see black, black, and more black.
