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."

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.

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 »

Inside The Befuddled Mind Of Kristian Laliberte
It's only a matter of time before socialgay Kristian Laliberte writes his memoir, Give Me Laliberte or Give Me Girth. Until then, we'll have to make do with what scraps of Lalibertian reverie we can find. Now, someone at Guestofaguest took it upon themselves to talk to Laliberte for entirely too long. He does say some fascinating things; still, the ratio of things he says to the words he uses to say them is seriously off. So we've abridged! More »

Tinsley Mortimer Dispenses Excellent Advice On Love
"This party is so 'Buffy.' I don't mean like the T.V. show Buffy, I mean like these people might all be named Buffy. I'm surprised they didn't bring their tennis rackets," a rumpled cigarette-smoker was saying just outside the party for the second book in "The Upper Class" young adult series at Tailor last night. Well, sure: The party partly was a reunion of sorts for kids who went to Hotchkiss, the posh Connecticut boarding school the books' three authors attended. But party cohost and Heatherette designer Richie Rich had also brought with him a strong contingent of people who work in fashion or at the very least have been on a reality show about working in fashion. And holding court in a corner was the party's other cohost: The most popular boarding school girl of all time, Tinsley Mortimer. The exhilarating ripple of her voice was like a wild tonic in the rain. But Tinsley herself was less like a tonic and more like one of the bubblegum vodka martinis ("bazookas") being dispensed by the open bar: Totally sweet and not at all horrible like maybe you'd expect! Nikola Tamindzic captured the moments.More »

Kristian Laliberte And Paul Johnson-Calderone Have Taken The 'Fre' Out Of "Frenemy"
Yesterday, Vogue editor Lauren Davis' assistant and socialgay Peter Davis' boyfriend Paul Johnson-Calderone told the Observer that he had been prevented from participating in a "The Hills"-esque reality show called "Frenemies" with Unruly Heir flak, heir Kristian Laliberte, by Conde Nast rules. The same piece implied that Paul and Kristian "were at one time quarreling over the hot pash" of Peter. We wondered what Kristian had to say about all this. Turns out: A lot! More »

When Patrick McMullan Created Kristian Laliberte
"Mr. Laliberte said he first met [celeb shutterbug Patrick] McMullan at the former man's first benefit. 'He took my picture and I ended up talking to him. He was really sweet! He was like, "Don't take this too seriously, just have fun. Go out with your friends. Don't let the scene become you."'" No worries there, fashion publicist and socialgay Kristian Laliberte! The only thing that becomes you less than the scene are those white pants.

Fabian Basabe Slams The Publicist He Paid "$10,000 Per Month To Keep Me Out Of The Press, Unless It Was Positive"
Hey, remember Fabian Basabe? If you do, at all, it's probably because of his lawsuit against a Bungalow 8 doorman or his drunk driving arrests or calling club employees "negroes" or that he married a woman or his appearance on a show called Filthy Rich: Cattle Drive which, can you believe that actually happened? Anyway, he now reveals on his blog that he never intended to get a lot of bad press. No, he went out of his way to try to prevent himself from being slammed repeatedly by the evil news media! More »
