Tue, 10 Feb 2009 17:23:29 -0500

On Saturday, Feb. 7, the charmingly loopy socialite Arden Wohl was sitting cross-legged on the floor of the closet-size Art Production Fund space on Wooster Street, surveying the dimly lit crowd of attractive people who had packed in to check out her 20-minute film, Two Other Dreams.

On a screen, the actresses Azura Skye and Ms. Wohl’s longtime friend, Leelee Sobieski, were acting out scenes written and directed by Ms. Wohl. “You...

Socialite Arden Wohl, who is often described as a "filmmaker" in the press, has written and directed a new short film, Two Other Dreams, which will debut at Art Production Fund's Lab 15 space on Wooster Street this weekend.

In 2006, Ms. Wohl released a debut film called Coven, which was a retelling of the fairy tale Hansel and Gretel featuring a voice-over by the socialite's longtime friend, Leelee Sobieski. Ms. Wohl made the...

Princeton sophomore Roby Sobieski, the younger brother of actress Leelee Sobieski, is defending himself against charges that he is racist.

As reported by the Ivy League gossip source Ivygateblog.com, an administrator at the university’s Berlind Theater recently sent out a mass e-mail to dramatically inclined undergraduates seeking a prompter for the upcoming opening of Orange Woman, a play by senior Roger Quincy Mason about the life and times of Lucy Negro (a...

Social Networking for Celebrities: Change Your Name to 'Poohead'

Fri, 22 Feb 2008 17:00:30 -0500

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.)

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.

“Yes, I’m having a good time....

At the after party following last night’s New York Public Library Lions Benefit, David Lauren and his girlfriend Lauren Bush, one of the evening’s co-chairs, were inseparable, an eyewitness told the Daily Transom. “He was leading her around all night,” the source said of the handsome clothing scion’s modus operandi at the post-dinner dance sesh on the library’s lower level, where things reportedly got a little raucous.

At Big Box Bash, LeeLee Sobieski Remembers Her Mortality

Thu, 01 Nov 2007 13:58:04 -0400

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...

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,...
