Would you be grossed out if you caught, say, Emma Watson making goo-goo eyes at, for example, Harry Dean Stanton?
The concept of young ingénues dating older gentlemen is nothing new. Many a gal has turned a blind eye to sagging flesh and wrinkly bits in order to vouchsafe her financial security. We can all Read More
In the days immediately after Alex Rodriguez held a wildly uncomfortable press conference to admit he’d used steroids, the Sports Illustrated reporter responsible for the news, Selena Roberts, noticed a change in the air.
“I think he was a sympathetic figure after that awkward press conference,” said Ms. Roberts. “There’s a turning point with people: Read More
Daily News: Hey, Madonna's not looking so hot on the cover of the Daily News this morning, is she? That is undoubtedly because the photo on the cover was shot by a News photographer who managed to get the singer, who is recuperating from a fall off a horse at the photographer Steven Klein's Hamptons Read More
Prim Manhattan real estate brokers tend to lack kind words for one another’s listings, but as word spread around town over the past week that Madonna had looked at 152 East 81st Street—which, according to today’s Post, she’s actually buying—the meanness was unparalleled.
In interviews with The Observer, three top brokers, including one at Sotheby’s Read More
The New York Post: Madonna has always had a hard time making it past co-op boards, with the notoriously fusty upper crusties feeling that too much publicity was a bad thing for their otherwise anonymous buildings.

Last month, celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson was reportedly having difficulties getting people to sign up for her new $900-per-month Tribeca gym, where her most prominent client, the actress Gwyneth Paltrow, is also a partner.

Last week I wore a pair of six-inch Lanvin sling-back stilettos while hosting a fashion show in Dallas. They looked great with my new Band of Outsiders jacket. I told the assembled crowd of socialites that it was the only way I could see over the lectern, which was true-ish. It was all fairly transparent. Read More
An O.G. in the Usual Gang of Idiots: The Times' Neil Genzlinger profiles MAD magazine's fold-in creator Al Jaffee and finds the 87-year-old writer/illustrator still up on youth culture. (Of course he is: The guy did a mind-blowing cover for Vice magazine's Comics Issue, after all.)
On Friday night at the Ritz, that trumped-up gay bar up in Hells Kitchen, something entirely too ordinary happened once too often: Madonna’s “Get Together” came on.
That’s the one that goes: “Can we get together? / I really, I really want to be with you.” (OMG, LOL, she’s so like deep.)

Madonna turns 50 this year and whether one loves or hates her, one has to wonder how many listenable albums she has left. This is as much because every album represents another persona, another clone of the same DNA, as the fact that the woman is turning 50. Eventually, she's going to transform from a Read More
Sure, Madonna is mega famous, filthy rich, and looking pretty damn good for a woman who is about to turn 50.
