Bloomberg Enjoys Bush Mockery

Ryan Tate — Tue, 27 May 2008 07:57:55 EDT

Oh, hey, Republican Mayor Michael Bloomberg might stop snapping at people long enough to play a thinly-veiled, self-mocking George W. Bush in a Broadway play. [P6]
Anna Wintour didn't like going to South Beach for a Karl Lagerfeld show because it made her sweaty, displeased and "miserable." Sort of like Carine Roitfeld.
Rapper MIA is only allowed to remain in the U.S. for a few more weeks, so she's considering marrying Kanye West. It's either that or Montreal. [Oh No They Didn't]
Nicole Kidman said ex-husband Tom Cruise has turned their kids against her. They didn't even visit on Mother's Day. [Showbiz Spy]
Wesley Snipes enjoyed his remaining freedom at a party in East Hampton. [Rush & Molloy]
If you snub Harvard's request for your official archives, the university will get ahold of your unofficial sexytime archives. Norman Mailer's estate learned this the hard way. [P6]
Jennifer Aniston secretly hooked up with John Mayer three months ago. See? It's totally normal for her to be this affectionate. So she's NOT BEING CLINGY, DAMMIT. [P6]
Naomi Campbell has to return to the Heathrow police station in London to learn whether she will be formally charged with assaulting a police officer. As though slowly going bald wasn't punishment enough.

Graydon Carter Misses His Own Feast At The Waverly

Joshua Stein — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 17:38:44 EDT

Tonight the James Beard house is hosting a dinner at the Waverly Inn with ticket prices around $200. Basically this is for those rich in cash but poor in cachet who can't normally get a table in the somehow still exclusive diner. Part of the reward, other than the candy cane beets and arugula, was the chance to rub shoulders with the leonine eminence gris Graydon Carter, who is not only an owner but was also listed as one of the event's hosts. Sadly for those gourmand suckers, Mr. Carter shan't be attending. Something something about Father's Day and children, according to the PR firm.
