Ack, not that photo again! The Peys should be on the front lines in Iraq as she does nothing better than deflect heat-seeking missiles.

Gods, that picture. Every time I see it I feel so bad for that cat. It's clearly trying to communicate to the photographer with body language. "Save me, for god's sake, she keeps touching my pink bits, SAVE ME!"

Just to play devil's advocate, it does seem very strange that this Boss woman married a man for 12 years knowing he didn't have any form of identification except his claim to being a Rockefeller. How is it possible that you married into one of the most prominent family in America and you have never even met any of his family members? Not a peep.

@Paul.B.Dodd: There was once a huckster who, on a lark, showed up at a local radio show claiming to be the catcher for the MLB team residing in that city. He picked catcher because those guys wear masks most of the time. It worked. He was able to make it with a lady, probably more, and siphon off dollars and gifts from them, even after he was in bed with his sweetie when she had a call from her parents; "If you turn on your teevee, your lover boy is batting in the third in Detroit."

He said, oh, they always tape those games. See, she really really wanted to believe, because it meant she was lovers with a celebrity. Otherwise, she was just another dupe.

@Paul.B.Dodd: The Boston Globe (boston.com) article today said that there was a family of 4, in Sutton Place, claiming to be his maternal aunt (he said his parents had died when he was 18) and family. So there were family members.

The guy was textbook controlling, too. First he insists that she not walk to work without him. Then he takes her away from her family and friends (Nantucket). Then more isolated (Vermont). Then even more isolated (New Hampshire). Have you ever been in an abusive or semi-abusive relationship with a controlling man? It is awfully easy, even when you're smart and educated; then all of a sudden you are told that YOU are the one misreading things.

ANY reaction of joy from a mother afraid for her child is fine. Dancing, fainting, singing. I ran the NYC Marathon and when it was finally over I started laughing from the "rush". Who is she to stage-manage Boss' reactions? I hate Peyser.

I kind of want him to pull it off. He's obviously great at sneaking into things, but he's so inept after he does it's kind of adorable.

Priyantha has inspired the blond lady to simultaneously give him the "are you fucking kidding me" and "deer in headlights" look.

Well done, Priyantha you truly are a muse.

why does he go to these society events for girls that are obviously not going to be into him. He's not parlaying this into connections, just a horrible reputation. If it's just for sex, get a whore. If it's for a job, bust your chops at firm.

He should just go to some crap bar with average people who are mildly interested in entertainment, lie his ass off, and raise his batting average. Ever heard of Washington, DC?
