The interesting things that go on in Hollywood. Demi Moore recently surprised her daughter with a pole-dancing demonstration, because having a mom as insanely hot as Demi Moore isn’t enough of a lifelong buzzkill. Page Six reports that at a party at the Chateau Marmont hotel in Hollywood Ms. Moore the senior gave her daughter [...]
The unfortunate things that go in classrooms in Mississippi… The Itawamba School District has cancelled their annual prom, and the senior class is devastated. Because of “distractions to the educational process caused by recent events” dozens of Mississippi teens won’t get to dance, laugh and throw up behind their gymnasium.

A line of sulky, skinny boys with garish, painted faces and red lips stares out at the crowd, quietly singing along to Dusty Springfield.

She only comes to, like, the shows,” said the woman seated to my right at the Alexander Berardi Fall 2010 Womenswear Show. I was more concerned with the bakery owned by my neighbour on the other side; “Big Booty Breads” [...]
As host Victoria Rowell approached the podium she did a quick twirl in her voluminous white dress. “It’s going to be all night, folks,” she quipped. She was inspired, no doubt, by the previous performance by Evidence, a dance company that celebrated its 25th Anniversary in style at the Plaza last night. The crème de [...]
