Snorting piles of cocaine, driving at 90 m.p.h. and running pell-mell into the surf is exactly what famous people should be doing! It beats standing blank-faced on a red carpet promoting something.  read more »

Petitioning for Bloomberg '08

On Friday, a group of volunteers will circulate petitions to draft Michael Bloomberg to run for president, which will be a rare tangible (if unauthorized) sign of the mayor's hypothetical candidacy.

The petition effort is being organized by Independence Party activist Frank Morano, who has had mixed success trying to get other high-profile figures to run for office.

The petitioning will take place at 11 a.m. on Friday, at the corner of 31st St & 7th Ave, outside of the building where the Mayor conducts his weekly radio address. And, as Morano noted in a media advisory, “he'll have to pass the petition gatherers as he enters and leaves the building.”

Which means photo-ops, for anyone who's interested.

More proof that the phenom known as Lindsay Lohan is speeding toward self-destruction: Earlier this month, Greek shipping-heir-cum-movie-producer Paris Latsis was forced to drop Ms. Lohan, his friend and former paramour, from a film project, according to a source close to Mr. Latsis.  read more »

Late in the afternoon on Monday, May 14, Lindsay Lohan showed up at a complimentary, temporary shopping boutique that had been erected by Lucky magazine for no apparent reason in the Ritz Carlton hotel on Central Park South.

“I love shopping. I love fashion. I mean, I live for it!” gushed the 20-year-old actress, who picked up several large bags of gratis goodies, including a digital-camera storage device, a few frocks and seven pairs of sunglasses.  read more »

Lindsay Lohan in '09

Here's an unusual bid to spur the youth vote: a letter to Lindsay Lohan from gregarious local Independence Party activist Frank Morano, who holds a day job as a producer on the Curtis and Kuby radio show.

Morano, who is in his twenties, appeals to Lohan as a "role model" who should "seriously consider entering the political arena." He suggests that she make a bid for public advocate as her debut.

He's serious, as far as I can tell.

December 27th, 2006

Dear Ms. Lohan: I've quite simply been in awe of not only your talents as an actress, singer and model, but your remarkable ability to handle the constant media scrutiny that you've been subject to, even when it clearly crosses the line of what's appropriate. As you probably know, you're a role model to hundreds of thousands of young Americans, particularly young women all over the country. As someone in his twenties, I can't praise you enough for using this position to raise awareness on so many issues affecting young people, like substance abuse and the importance of a good work ethic.  read more »

...And Finally, I'd Like To Thank My Colorist

ERICA: As I'm pondering getting my hair "un" highligted for the second time in 3 months, I'm flipping through Us Weekly and feeling seriously angry toward Lindsay Lohan. How is it that she looks fabulous whether her hair is platinum blonde, deep chestnut or fire engine red?! That just makes no sense and I'm insanely bitter about it.

I've been trying to perfect my hair color for over a year now. My natural color is sort of a "meh" librarian brown. A few months ago, I thought I should get it highlighted. I went to my favorite salon and came home looking like a striped cheetah. 3 days later, I went straight back to "meh" brown.  read more »

Then I started getting the itch again. Maybe they just didn't choose the right color for me? Maybe I should try someplace else? Don't I want my hair looking gaw-gous on my wedding day?

Letter From L.A.: Nicole Richie Lapdances, Blows Chunks At Ronson Bash

On Monday, August 7, DJ and person-at-large Samantha Ronson had a birthday party at LA's premiere hotspot, Hyde.

Lindsay Lohan was there with her new beau—they're totally going steady!—Harry Morton, a hotel heir fond of headbands. So was Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine, who was spotted by cameras leaving the party to go next door to pick up some cookies for Ms. Ronson. ("It's a birthday party," he explained, displaying inner clarity, to a TMZ cameraman.) The Good Charlotte guitarist wore a cut off t-shirt, accentuating his "sleeves."

But the real action was happening inside the Sunset Boulevard club, where, sources say, Nicole Richie was getting into the party spirit with her spirit of choice: Tequila! "She was so wasted!" said an attendant, who also said that Ms. Richie's drinking partner, Mary-Kate Olsen, was not doing anything to help the situation. "She was dancing on the tables and then she started giving lap dances to her friends and random guys, too."

And then it happened, under the copper ceiling, amidst the hanging candles. "Nicole puked right on the floor, like right in the middle of the club," said the source. "Everyone saw! But I guess she didn't care. She kept partying."

"She loves tequila," said the source, a friend of Ms. Richie's. "But you know, she's so small—and she probably didn't eat anything that day. So you know, she probably had a couple shots and it just happened. She was just having a good time." —Spencer Morgan

What's Rachel Zoe Pushing Now?

The vampire and stylist-to-the-emaciated-girl-stars Rachel Zoe followed in Lindsay Lohan's red-headed wake at the Prairie Home Companion premiere on Sunday night. (More on all that in tomorrow's paper.) But what's Ms. Zoe working these days?

"I love the new YSL bags," Ms. Zoe said. "I love, love the new YSL bags--there's a new one that's very boho with gold rings, looks like ones from the seventies, which I love." For shoes: "It's all about platforms--Chloe platforms."

And, The Transom must know, what metallic shade is so very now? "I'm all about yellow gold," Ms. Zoe said. —Mary Katherine Stump

Wilmer Valderrama Hosts Condo Party


Come see Wilmer! Click to enlarge.
A few months ago, uber-broker Michael Shvo brought Grammy winner John Legend to impress some would-be buyers at 20 Pine: The Collection.

Now, Corcoran Group Marketing is answering back with That 70's Show star and on-again-off-again boyfriend of Lindsay Lohan, Wilmer Valderrama. (For added star power, Lizzie Grubman is mentioned twice on the invite.)  read more »

So if you can't find Mr. Valderrama behind the velvet rope of some meat-packing district club, better try the opening of luxury condominium on Hudson Street.

One Week Countdown...For the Love of God, Have a Muffin!

AIMEE: Brian and I are watching SNL, trying to decide whether Lindsay Lohan is still too skinny when it hits me: "Oh my god," I announce. "At this time next week our wedding will be over." Silence. We pause to imagine what life could possibly be like without a wedding to plan, without something to always fight about should either of us be in the mood for a brawl.

We've spent the entire day running around the city looking for rehearsal dinner and post-wedding brunch outfits: Hours at Bloomies, Banana Republic and J. Crew. We've now bought more than we can possibly wear in one weekend, but one wants choices.

We have used up our final reserves of strength going over the seating arrangements, endlessly drawing little circles for tables around a square dancefloor, labeling them and then furiously scratching the names out. ("No! We can't put old people by the band's speakers!" "Wait, why did we split up those cousins?!")

We are eating too healthy for our own good, and beg each other to have some carbs when one of us starts getting really irritable. ("For the love of god, have a muffin!" we plead with each other.) The good news? My sources tell me this is totally normal pre-wedding behavior. I find it hard to believe.
