Tranny or New Pop Superstar? both?

While others tell us this is real, we refuse to believe that this is the actual cover of Adam Lambert’s new CD. It reminds us of one of those RuPaul Drag Race glamour shots. Like a combination of Ongina and Rebecca Glasscock with a little Pierre & Gilles thrown in. We always wanted to use Rebecca Glasscock in a sentence. (check on the bucket list)

Lindsay Lohan’s latest bit of insanity

Just when you think there is nothing she can do to top herself, she ups the ante.

Lindsay got herself inked. Girl we’ve been there before, got drunk, got tattoos in Miami like a couple of sailors. But we kept ours simple and in places nobody sees. Try to read her arm without gagging, and we aren’t talking about the sores….

how we are feeling right now

because nothing says happy halloween better than a puking pumpkin…

Taylor Lautner-Serious Actor

Supposedly Taylor Lautner is sick of people paying attention to him for his physique and wants to never take his shirt off again for a movie.  Because when you cast Taylor Lautner you are definitely looking for emotional range.  We are sorry Taylor, we saw you at the Highline Benefit this year.  What nobody knows, and you should be thankful they’re focusing on your chest, is that you are a midget.  We were shocked when we found ourselves looking down and actually crouching when we were introduced to you like we do when we meet children.  We swear if you break 5 feet tall, you are lucky.  So our advice-keep your mouth shut and your shirt off.  Is better for all concerned.

Super Mario does Rio

Mario Testino is one of the best shooters around and it is no secret about his love of Brazil.  His newest project, MaRIO DE JANEIRO Testino, is a beautiful collection of beautiful Brazillians in various states of undress.  The full book can be seen online here. Enjoy.

Tonight’s Benefit

We were invited to this by our adorable friend Jake Hoffman.  It is a benefit for the first ever charter school in the Bronx, The Success Academy 7. We have previous plans but if you are looking for something to do tonight this is a great choice. The event features an Open Rum Bar from 7 to 11 at 1OAK, along with celebrity drinkers Mischa Barton and Lauren Bush, and music by the always lively DJ Cassidy. And you get all this for the recession friendly price of $125-that’s a round at Rose or Boom-Boom! Best of all the proceeds are going to a charity, so is tax deductible. To purchase tickets or to learn more go here.

Vanity Fair-Faconnable

Pre Twilight Ball we stopped by the Vanity Fair-Facconable shopping event to benefit the Christopher Reeve Foundation. Our friend, and one of Paper Magazine’s most Beautiful people, Francesco Clark (Clark’s Botanicals) played host along with Alexandra and Matthew Reeve.

Central Park Conservancy’s Twilight Ball

As readers know, we love Halloween. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that we are on the committee for the Central Park’s Annual Ball. Last night was the 14th year, and the theme was (surprise!) Twilight. We were thrilled with the huge moon that was the focal point of the center of the room. Although we are big fans of halloween, we are not so much fans of dressing up in costume. But that didn’t apply to others in the room. Our favorite was the group that came as highlights of Michael Jackson’s life. There was young Michael, Thriller Michael, Surgical mask Michael, along with Debbie Rowe, Elizabeth Taylor and the dermatologist who gave his sperm for Michael’s children. Our table included Kipton Cronkite, Clay Floren, Zev Eisenberg, Carrie Baker and William Gilbane (no show). Others getting down with their bad selves on the dance floor included: Keith Lissner, Rachell Hruska, Nick Hunt, Tory Burch and Kelly Brady.

Our one complaint?  What happened to serving champagne?  We realize it’s a bad economy and all but with prices at $1,000 for dinner we feel we should at least get the real thing.  We are so sick of prosecco we want to vom.  Just saying…
