Who was not at the Versace Men’s show in Milan yesterday?
a) Pharrell Williams (curious, since he designs sunglasses for Louis Vuitton)
b) Rupert Everett (curious, since he models for Dolce & Gabbana)
c) Kidada Jones (curious, since she designs for Disney and also muses for Charlotte Ronson)
d) Halle Berry (not so curious at all).

Amy, 27
If Martha Stewart were nice…
If Rachael Ray were thin…
If Kelly Clarkson were city…
If Ellen Pompeo were calm…
They would be a little bit more like Amy.
But she could still out-cook them all…

One block from my apartment, one boy in an orange shirt bounced a nylon Prada tote off his butt. It was made more credible by his neon Lacoste polo, his super-slim jeans, his Gucci sneakers, and his giant white Dior glasses. It was made less credible by the big fat metro card, sticking out of his little skinny back pocket. But perhaps, after buying this Scoop-worthy ensemble, he had no money left for a cab?

Feeling left out because you weren’t at the semi-secret, severely celeb-filled photo shoot of last Wednesday? Don’t get insecure – get a better paying gig. Douglas wants some boys with reddish hair (think Ron Weasley, but you know, not British and overacting…) and some blonde and dark blonde girls, and also some Latin boys. Please be cute, please be sober, and please be someone who keeps your MAC addiction to yourself, since the shoot is for Microsoft.
Think you’re pretty enough to snag his attention? Email him: Douglas@Developmentnyc.com for casting times. And if you get cast and get the $1,000 day rate, you so owe me a milkshake. Or, depending on whom you are, a date. Okay?

Kurt, Madonna, Mariah, and Bruce, all on a very unlikely wall mural. Where in Manhattan are we, and why is this a weird collage?

A brief word about today’s Page Six, where Hills star Blaine Zuckerman is revealed as Glamour‘s new editor…
In last week’s episode of The Hills, Teen Vogue “contributor” Blaine gives Lauren the big news about her big New York trip in a Phillips Exeter t-shirt. Did Blaine actually attend the slightly stuffy, slightly scruffy boarding school? Or did he snag the shirt from Teen Vogue‘s Lauren Waterman, who graduated in ’94 and went on to chronicle her preppy teen years in the magazine? And why, oh why, am I so obsessed with it all?
more on Blaine: he’s listed in the same section on TV‘s masthead as Bee Shaffer and Annabelle Dexter-Jones… he was once, according to google, the bookings guy for *Delias… and he may have been in a preppy play…
[VANESSA LENGIES - AM I THE IMAGINARY SOCIALITE?]
Why is the nerdy-cute bartender making that face?
a) He just realized the girl with the sundress has a boyfriend.
b) He doesn’t know how to make a vodka-atkins-frappacino
c) He’s so jealous of that awesome MJ tote.
d) He’s so aware of that fake MJ tote.
Totally your call…

Tyson, 22
I have some Valium that I’m scared to take, so instead I call The Boys. They crash on my couch with bottles of wine, and we describe our weekly exploits the way Real World casts talk in confessional.
“Do you ever worry we’re fucking everything up?” I ask and Tyson shakes his head. On Friday a certain socialite told me I had 2 more years to fuck up and then I needed to stop. This sounded reasonable, but now it’s bugging me. “How do you know our lives aren’t total messes?” I press.
“Because I have these two stepbrothers,” he says, “And they’re 5 and 8. And the 5 year old is always falling down. He’s 5, that’s what you do. But when his mom is around, and he falls down, she freaks out and says “oh no, are you okay?” and runs right to him. Then he’ll realize he should be hurt, and he’ll cry for hours. But when I’m around and he falls down, I’ll just say, “Hey, that was funny, huh? Let’s get back up.” And he’ll laugh and start running around again. We’re not 5 anymore, but we’re basically the same.”
Then I make fun of Tyson for 1) dressing like Laguna Beach Jason 2) being named Tyson, and he scoffs, “actually, my real name is Jay,” and then we drink more wine.
[NACHO LIBRE - AM I THE IMAGINARY SOCIALITE?]
Marc’s fall collection hit the Soho store yesterday (!!!) but the accessories aren’t in yet – and won’t be until August-ish, when they ship directly from Paris. Still, there’s already a budding wait list for these lovely shoes, as seen on Daria, Jeisa, and all other 6 footers whose name ends in “a”. I’m on it – are you?
[MARTHA WAINWRIGHT - AM I THE IMAGINARY SOCIALITE?]
Inspired by today’s last entry on Blue States Lose, a quick demonstration of The Mickey Boardman pose…
Come on, everybody’s doing it.
