Vogue editor Lauren Davis's wedding to a rich foreigner is very important! It will be held on a private island! Each of the nine bridesmaids will wear a dress by a different designer! ""You can expect the entire young Paris Match, Hola and Hello crowds for this event," someone predicted. Care, care! [Page Six]

Kristian Laliberte And Paul Johnson-Calderone Have Taken The 'Fre' Out Of "Frenemy"

Emily Gould — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 16:57:38 EDT

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!

"I didn't know that Paul was an official employee at Vogue—I thought he worked in a personal capacity for Lauren Davis. If Vogue had an issue with the show, it was never brought to my attention. The show was pitched to me and I brought on Paul. When I terminated our agreement with the development company, it was because of various other offers that I decided to pursue."

"I didn't know who Peter Davis was until I was accused of dating him and I read about it in the newspaper. The instant I learned he was in a relationship with Paul, which wasn't immediatly brought to my attention by Mr. Davis, I tried to make it clear that I had never harbored what you call a 'hot pash' for Pete. I wish them both the best in their relationship."

Hissssss.

'Radar' Handicaps Socialite Rank Suspects

Who's behind the barely literate yet endlessly compelling socialite PR organ cum bitchy LiveJournal that is Socialite Rank? It's become this weird question that everyone keeps asking and no one ever answers. But in anticipation of SR themed expos s in Vanity Fair and New York, not to mention SR's big "announcement" next week, Radar's Sarah Horne has created a poll where you can vote for your favorite suspect. Genius! Crazy genius, in fact, because after dispatching the usual suspects (Lauren Davis, Derek Blasberg, Peter Davis, etc), Radar fingers (ew!) Tina Brown and Harry Evans, among other extreme wild cards. We're voting for Russian fashion writers Olga and Valentine Rei, mostly because it makes total sense to assume that SR isn't written by native English speakers ("It's all leading up to the few crowing events during the next few weeks," reads a recent post). But then there's this analysis of why the poison-pen blogger isn't gossip boy made good Hud Morgan: "His grasp on the English language is somewhat more evolved than whoever pens SR." Actually, maybe SR is Radar's Sarah Horne! —Emily

Lauren Davis + Kristian Laliberte

Choire — Mon, 05 Mar 2007 11:56:02 EST

A-list PR gal Lauren Davis has been on the skids over at Socialite Rank, barely hanging in on the top 20, despite clocking in at number 11 a month ago. We may have an explanation! Last night, at the Union Square theater, according to a movie-goer, the recent birthday girl was out with young striver and stylist Kristian Laliberte, who Socialite Rank refers to as a "D-list leach." Apparently, the odd two-some were chit-chatting the 9:25 p.m. showing of "Breach." If true, that's the weirdest girls night out ever. According to the movie-goer, Kristian then packed up and headed over to see "The Bridge of Terabithia." Theater-hopper!
