The Overnight Socialite tells the story of Lucy Jo Ellis, an aspiring fashion designer battling it out in the trenches with the rest of New York’s ambitious twentysomethings.

Jon Stewart Compares Sarah Palin Obsession to Angel Dust

Last night on The Daily Show, Jon Stewart deconstructed the Sarah Palin press bonanza over the release of her memoir, Going Rogue. He summed it up best, saying, “What is it about Sarah Palin that makes the right in this country feel as though they’ve been sprinkled with angel dust, and the left in this country feel as though they had smoked something laced with angel dust? Because whether you love her or you hate her, you definitely love her or hate her.” The Daily Show With Jon StewartMon – Thurs 11p / 10cDaily Show: The Rogue Warriorwww.thedailyshow.comDaily Show Full EpisodesPolitical HumorHealth Care Crisis

Which Shirtless Twilight Hunk is Your Hardtop Convertible?

This isn’t as stupid a question as it seems. While flitting about the country recently, I had the opportunity to sample three metal-roofed, two-door vehicles, all of which featured tops that retracted at the push of a button. And while attempting to come up with a pithy and creative rubric for comparing these convertibles (as is the Stick Shift way), I realized three things: a) the cars were all pretty good lookin’ b) the bifurcation/dualism endemic in their nature reminded me of certain creatures who, to quote a famed emperor of darkness, “crawl in search of blood/to terrorize y’alls neighborhood,” and c) I like thinking about hot dudes that remove their tops at my command. Voila: This Twilight hottie template. I’m going to insert some sacrilege here: I didn’t really like the first Twilight movie. I’m all about delayed gratification. But, in my opinion, the only thing that exemplifies a greater sense of deferred satisfaction than watching baseball is watching vampires not bite people, and this movie held up as one of its centerpieces non-biting vampires playing baseball. Bo-ring! However, I have high hopes for the sequel, mainly because it looks like it will feature more male nudity. Now, onto the cars and their correlative stars.

Which Royal’s Crown Has Diamonds that Give Beyonce a Run for her Rocks

Fabled celebrity photographer Mario Testino, who snapped iconic portraits of Princess Diana, has revealed he hopes to photograph would-be royal Kate Middleton as soon as he can “pin her down.” This is not the first time the photographer has been linked to Kate, Prince William’s longtime flame. Last year, inaccurate rumors suggested the portraitist would train Kate in his art. Testino, whose work frequently appears in Vanity Fair, was presented with the Medal of Excellence by British luxury advocates Walpole earlier this week.

Colin Powell and the Stars of Precious Convene at the Crosby Street Hotel

Sapphire, Lee Daniels, Gabourey Sidibe, General Colin Powell. From PatrickMcMullan.com. “Every time I get to New York I get nervous because of the New Yorkers,” joked director Lee Daniels when introducing his new and much buzzed-about film, Precious, at the Cinema Society and Tommy Hilfiger’s screening on Thursday evening. He had nothing to fear, however: the movie was a resounding success, with many a viewer—including model Agyness Deyn, nightclub owner Amy Sacco, and Keith Richards spawn Alexandra Richards—leaving the theater drying their eyes. “It wasn’t until the movie was done that I realized how daunting it had been,” said a beaming and pregnant Paula Patton. “It took me a few months to shake that character loose because of dealing with difficult subject matter day in and day out.” Screenwriter Geoffrey Fletcher explained his tactic in adapting Sapphire’s book Push: “I think this is a perfect novel, and you’re in for a challenge when you’re trying to refashion perfection. A lot of the visual elements of the script came from my being trained as a director.”
