MORE The Eight-Day Week
Oil Up the Gwynnie! Fashion photographer Steven Klein, best known for lubing up models and celebrities for dominatrix-themed magazine spreads, hosts a charity event for Amaryllis Farm Equine Rescue at his farm in Bridgehampton, corralling an impressive haul of across-the-pond expats such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna, and real live Brit Stella McCartney. Before you crash—and you must—motor over to philanthropist Chad Leat’s Bridgehampton digs for a summer gala thrown by dance group MoveOpolis, so named for choreographer Richard Move. “One person said something quite funny—that finally someone was going to bring some culture to one of the Hamptons events!” Mr. Move told us. He explained that he will stage performances “simultaneously all over Chad Leat’s property. We will have one of the dancers in his 1964 GTO convertible—I’m only using gorgeous women—and we will have one woman literally rigged in one of the trees.” Won’t she like that! Watch out for that squirrel, miss! Guests will “stroll around; we’re going to start serving Prosecco and strawberries.” Expect punk goddess Deborah Harry (“Debbie was in my last big New York production, a contemporary homoerotic Achilles that I initially did for Barishnykov. …”); Sex and the City vets Kim Cattrall and Patricia Field; and fashion-world court jester Isaac Mizrahi. “You know who else is coming that I worship? Doris Roberts, the mother from Everybody Loves Raymond,” said Mr. Move. “She’s heaven! Part of me feels like the whole evening is about her now!” Don’t tell Cattrall.
