• Ricky Gervais puts the kabosh on Extras, dooms us to an unfunny, “television programming written for Americans, by Americans” existence.
• Publisher of the Baltimore Sun chooses a 77 woman* over her job.
• Richard Johnson’s “little Johnson” is twelve inches long. (We’re talking about his new baby, pervs!)
• Editors hate covering the war in Iraq almost as much as the U.S. soldiers hate fighting in it.
Mandy Moore, Dennis Quaid, Susan Sarandon, Marcia Gay Harden, Drew Lachey, and Gretchen Mol were there.
Sarah Jessica Parker was there, bragging about her beach house. Cynthia Nixon was there, too … though she doesn????????t travel much. Even avid jet-setter Lindsay Lohan was there.
The biggest shocker? This was a party for Conde Nast Traveler, the most bland of all the Conde mags.
Celebrity magazines may be over, but Conde Nast Traveler seems to be sailing along just fine. The glossy vacation bible christened the not-yet-open Buddha Bar with their annual Hot List party. The mag bills it????????s ???????Hot List??????? as the ???????insiders guide to this year????????s hippest hotels, most fabulous restaurants, chicest spas, and hottest bars and clubs around the world???????. Bhudda Bar is located in the indispensable-for-the-upscale-traveler meatpacking district. It????????s so meta.
Maybe it was for the Bhudda Bar see-and-be-seen. Or could it be that these celebs are all hoping to land covers on other Conde mags? (We just know La Lohan would die for a Vogue spread.)
Speaking of Lindsay, we heard she didn’t stay at this B-List party too too long. She posed for the cameras and then quick-changed for her appearance at Prada’s “Waist Down – Skirts by Miuccia Prada” party at their SoHo boutique.
Hey, if you can’t land Chanel, we guess Prada’s the next best shtick!
