Arden Wohl Targets Ralph Lauren For Defacement, Theft

  • Alterna-socialite Arden Wohl was arrested for writing "Ralphy Lipshits" on the front of a Ralph Lauren boutique in lipstick. That's a variation on the designer's real name of "Ralph Lipschitz" and a dumb thing to do while wearing a headband (which, face it, she almost certainly was), which is probably the clue that allowed police to track Wohl down after she made her drawing. Oh, she also stole some miniature American flags. [P6]
  • Ex-Eliot Spitzer hooker Ashley Alexandra Dupre goes to the Waverly Inn because it's classy. (No one tries to touch or talk to her there, they strictly ogle.) [P6]
  • Leonardo DiCaprio, who campaigned against wasteful junk mail, on account of the environment, is now sending out wasteful junk mail mail pitches, on account of the environment. [P6]
  • Jennifer Aniston got upset because boyfriend John Mayer's ex Jessica Simpson sent very well-written love letters, and Mayer still saves them. Or not, because the not-at-all-clingy actress is denying the whole thing. [P6]
  • In an upcoming video for Madonna's tour, Britney Spears will pretend to be a screaming, hair-pulling crazy person, while Madonna will pretend to be a randy bisexual with a thing for Spears. An acting tour de force, in other words. [Sun]

Which Celebrity Is The Biggest Environmental Hypocrite?

Celebrities: a bunch of hypocrites! They all pay lip service to environmental issues like global warming. But most of them are heavy private jet users. They also engage in a smorgasboard of other environmental sins, from investing in oil companies (Madonna) to wasting water by demanding 120 bath towels at each appearance (Barbra Streisand) to various other transgressions you can read about here. But it's primarily the globetrotting use of gas-guzzling private planes that make their frequent entreaties to save the earth seem empty. So we're polling you, our readers, who have some of the most finely tuned hypocrisy detectors in the world: Which of these six "green" stars is the biggest environmental hypocrite? Cast your vote after the jump. More »

    Ken Sunshine Would Never Have Paris Hilton

    Leonardo DiCaprio's TriBeCa Rental

    In today's Gimme Shelter, Braden Keil says that Leonardo DiCaprio, the greatest actor of your slightly older brother's generation, has rented a TriBeCa duplex whilst filming potentially the greatest film of your generation, Revolutionary Road. Research reveals that the $35K a month duplex must be that old chestnut 51 Walker Street. What's more, the 1A condo was on the market with a $7.5 million asking price—but apparently what Leo wants to rent, Leo rents. Though there's no self-closing toilet seat, there is a "cyber doorman," and a 21-foot pool in the backyard. Floor plans! More »

    Gossip Roundup: ABC's Resident Lesbian Orgy

    • If there were a lesbian tryst that no one in the world would ever want to imagine, it'd involve the ladies of The View. Nevertheless, they'll push the issue while they can, as once Rosie O'Donnell shows up as resident bulldyke, the lesbo jokes will have to stop. God forbid O'Donnell took them seriously on the matter. [Lowdown (2nd item)]
    • But if Rosie wants a shot at Oprah, why not? The lady doth protest too much on the matter of Gayle King, after all. [TMZ]
    • Leonardo DiCaprio helps the cripples see Madonna. As your heart melts, allow us to salute his publicist Ken Sunshine for this impeccable placement. Flawless execution! Bravo! [Page Six]

    Gossip Roundup: Leo and Giselle Begin Banging Other Pretty People

    • Now that actor Leonardo DiCaprio and supermodel Gisele Bundchen are no longer an item, gossip column speculation can truly begin. DiCaprio has been connected to Sienna Miller, Bundchen, surfer Kelly Slater. Oh, how we love when our celebrities are free to roam the humpy fields. [Page Six]
    • Times columnist Maureen Dowd gets camera shy: She made it about 10 feet down the Glamour Women of the Year awards before being scared off by photographers. At least someone's intimidating her for a change. [Gatecrasher (bottom of page)]
    • Lloyd Grove has no idea where Nick Lachey is, and he's starting to get worried. [Lowdown (last item)]
    • Marlise Kast is shopping a book proposal, The Tabloid Prodigy, about how she was the Globe's top reporter at 21-years-old. Should she really be calling herself a prodigy? We're pretty sure that rag is written by 12-year-olds. [Page Six]

    • Notorious fagodrome the Roxy, accused of admitting underage patrons, meets the long arm of the law just in time to wreck their gay ol' Halloween party. And so the war on fun continues. [Page Six]
    • PETA narrows its gaze on Prince Charles, who it intends to harass on his forthcoming visit to the states. Apparently the royal guards use real bearskin on their helmets, which has the animal-rights group's knickers in a bunch. [Scoop]
