Clicking through New York actress and socialite Serena Merriman’s Facebook album, called “Friends,” we found the above shot of Ms. Merriman, pal Sturgis Adams and, um, Leelee Poohead? That sure looks a lot like 24-year-old actress Leelee Sobieski. Call it the new twist on the common socialite practice of switching the placement of first and last names to avoid easy searchability (file under Laliberte Kristian; Rambin Leven; Hearst Lydia.)  read more »

Is Leelee Sobieski Hollywood’s latest contribution to New York’s late-night party scene? (After all, it’s been little over a week since the Daily Transom last ran into the 24-year-old actress at Simon Hammerstein’s cabaret, The Box.) A little after 10 p.m. last night, we found the Walk All Over Me star at Bella’s near Kenmare Square, where she’d just polished off a glass of red wine.

You know, it’s interesting; I think that the world is changing and you have to—it’s weird—but you have to maybe go out a little bit if you want people to acknowledge you, to then acknowledge your work,” she admitted at the after party for the Adrienne Shelly Foundation’s inaugural benefit. “It used to be the other way around; you used to acknowledge somebody’s work and then acknowledge them.

Late last night at Simon Hammerstein and Richard Kimmel’s celeb-infested, serially newsworthy Lower East Side cabaret, The Box, the actress Leelee Sobieski wore a top-hat and slinky tank top and carried a mold of her own skull (it had been commissioned for an upcoming film, Night Train, she explained, in which she stars with Danny Glover). The occasion was Kiki de Montparnasse’s evening of “erotic entertainment and discovery” (which began with a dinner at the SoHo skivvies store and then moved East to Chrystie Street), and Ms. Sobieski—blonde, dewy, gratuitously tall, alarmingly unguarded—was dressed as a Latin phrase. More specifically: “My conceptual bullshit costume is Memento Mori. When you realize your death is inevitable.”  read more »

At the New York Film Festival’s opening night party, which was held on Friday, Sept. 28, at the elegantly faded, labyrinthine Central Park restaurant Tavern on the Green, the actress LeeLee Sobieski approached an outdoor table and asked if she and her friends, the pleasantly rumpled musician Adam Green (famous for being in the indie band the Moldy Peaches and for writing a song about Jessica Simpson) and a blond, tuxedo-clad man named Hunter, could sit down.  read more »
