    Parker Posey's Perks

    According to Parker Posey, the best thing about being famous isn't all the free shit—it's that your friend's dog won't get in trouble for biting a girl. "She was totally freaking out, and she wanted to go to the emergency room and everything. She was stoned, you know?" Parker explained to New York mag. "But then she recognized me, and it just changed the whole temperature of things. She was like, "Oh, my God, I love you," and everything was fine. That's what's good about being a celebrity." More »

    Parker Posey, American Hero!

    From the mailbag:
    On Tuesday afternoon, actress Parker Posey came to the rescue of a woman whose daughter had taken ill and passed out on the 100 block of Thompson Street. As an ambulance arrived and NYPD were tending to the young girl at the scene, Posey dog sat for the woman as she accompanied her daughter to the hospital. Seems that this well-known actress has a soft spot for New Yorkers in need.
    Glaring omission? Bizzarro Fay Grim guerrilla marketing plan? God's honest truth? You decide!

    'Observer' Mourns "It Girl" Obsolescence Prematurely?

    Remember back when it was possible for people to simultaneously be famous and also seem genuinely cool? Hillary Frey, the new culture editor of the New York Observer, totally does. "An It Girl was out and about; she walked our streets, shared our parks, sat next to us at the International Bar on First Avenue. She was Chlo . Parker. Claire." Sadly, though, those ladies are all now successful in mainstream TV show and movies! (Also, Claire Danes and her English lover were sitting two feet away from Hillary Frey last Tuesday at the Old Town Bar, which is kind of funny.) Also, Our Girls are older and not as wild now. And a new crop of "It Girls" hasn't risen up to replace them, according to Hillary. Why? Oh, oops, it's our fault. More »
