 <title>New York&#039;s Hottest Society Clan of 2007!</title>
 <link>http://www.observer.com/2007/new-yorks-hottest-society-clan-2007</link>
 <description><![CDATA[<!--paging_filter--><p class="MsoNormal">Who can claim the title of 2007’s most socially social New York society clan? In a major year-end party wrap cobbled together by <a href="http://www.style.com/peopleparties/features/year2007/slideshow/121407YIP?iphoto=8" target="_blank"><em>Style.com</em></a>, the aesthetically-inclined Web site asks—and, thank gawd, answers—that very question. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On one side of the party divide is the <strong>Peter</strong> and <strong>Minnie</strong> <strong>Davis</strong>/<strong>Tinsley Mortimer</strong> team. (Mr. and Ms. Davis are, for those who didn’t know, Ms. Mortimer’s siblings-in-law.) On the other: <strong>Ann Dexter-Jones</strong> and her three party-hardy kids—<strong>Samantha</strong>, <strong>Mark</strong> and <strong>Charlotte</strong>. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As <em>Style </em>points out, it’s been quite a year for both clans: <strong>Topper</strong> and Ms. Mortimer’s wedding got a major write-up in the <em>Times</em>; and Ms. Davis tied the knot with <em>Syriana </em>director <strong>Stephen Gaghan</strong>. (What they don’t mention, however, is that 2007 was also the year society scribe Mr. Davis <a href="/2007/vogue-staffer-frenemies-no-more" target="_blank">found true love</a> in a certain young social, <strong>Paul Johnson-Calderon</strong>.) </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Meanwhile, Mr. Ronson’s single, <em>Stop Me</em>, climbed to the number-two spot on the British charts—no small feat, to be sure. What’s more, Samantha Ronson was, for a while anyway, queen of the tabloids, soaking up the buzz as her friendship with <strong>Lindsay Lohan</strong> continued to heat up. And then there’s their younger sis Charlotte, who <a href="http://www.nyobserver.com/2007/charlotte-ronson?observer_most_read_tabs_tab=2" target="_blank">we caught up with</a> not long ago at her Nolita boutique, where she was introducing her 2007 Resort collection. Ms. Dexter-Jones, too, told us all about <a href="/2007/ann-dexter-jones-craves-hot-dogs" target="_blank">her new lease on life</a> post-divorce, loving the high-thread-count sheets at her new digs in the Bowery Hotel.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the end, though, there can only be one winner; (as Heidi Klum might say, “You’re either in or you’re out.”) And in this case, <strong>Patrick McMullan</strong> must pick the winning bunch—“that ultimate litmus test of social visibility.” While the Dexter-Jones/Ronson squad racked up an impressive 422 photos credits on the social shutterbug’s Web site, the Davis/Mortimer clan reigns supreme. The trendy trio said &quot;cheese&quot; for Mr. McMullan’s lens a whopping 732 times. <span> </span></p>

 <title>Kristian Laliberte Responds!</title>
 <link>http://www.observer.com/2007/kristian-laliberte-responds</link>
 <description><![CDATA[<!--paging_filter--><p>After <strong>Kristian Laliberte</strong> read <strong>Paul Johnson-Calderon</strong>’s <a href="/2007/vogue-staffer-frenemies-no-more" target="_blank">recent claims in the Daily Transom</a>, the Unruly Heir publicist called us today to add his own two-cents on the matter.<br />
<p class="MsoNormal">First, responding to Mr. Johnson-Calderon’s insistence that the pair’s reality TV show was canned because of his work at <em>Vogue</em>, Mr. Laliberte explained: “The reason the show is not happening has nothing to do with <em>Vogue</em> and everything to do with a project that I’m working on. I can’t discuss it, but it’s 100% going forward,” he said. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(Mr. Laliberte then indicated that the Daily Transom might want to contact <em>Vogue </em>in order to find out if Mr. Johnson-Calderon was, as he purported, actually on staff at the magazine. We did; they said he used to be an intern assistant in the features department, but no longer works there.)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Mr. Laliberte was equally aghast at the suggestion that he ever tried to hit on Mr. Johnson-Calderon's current boyfriend,<strong> Peter Davis</strong>. “The first time I met Paul was when he pushed me at a New Yorkers for Children benefit and said that I was hitting on Peter. I didn’t know who either of them were at that point!” Mr. Laliberte said. “I am glad that I’m friends with both of them, and I think they make an adorable couple. I have no doubt in my mind that at some point they’ll probably get married. I think Paul would make a wonderful father,” he said, before adding: “I mean, personally, I like guys who are my own age.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Wrapping up his case with little-diminished fervor, Mr. Laliberte explained that he’s glad he no longer spends a lot of time with his onetime frenemy. “I’m just not into the late night scene. I think its great that Paul is young and having fun, I just have to get up for work every morning.”</p>]]></description>

 <title>Paul Johnson-Calderon No Longer Kristian Laliberte&#039;s Frenemy</title>
 <link>http://www.observer.com/2007/vogue-staffer-frenemies-no-more</link>
 <description><![CDATA[<!--paging_filter--><p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Paul Johnson-Calderon</strong>, the social butterfly and assistant to <em>Vogue </em>contributing editor <strong>Lauren Davis</strong>, wants to set the record straight about his failed attempt to star in a reality TV show with publicist party-boy <strong>Kristian Laliberte</strong>. (“It’s going to be <em>The Simple Life </em>meets <em>The Hills</em>,” Mr. Laliberte reportedly said.)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“There’s no more show. It’s no longer happening; <em>Vogue </em>won’t let me do it,” Mr. Johnson-Calderon, 24, told the Daily Transom last night at John Allan's Habitat for Humanity benefit in Stone Rose, a jazz bar on the fourth floor of the Time-Warner Center. <span class='read-more'><a href="http://www.observer.com/2007/vogue-staffer-frenemies-no-more">&nbsp;read&nbsp;more&nbsp;&raquo;</a></span></p>]]></description>
