JASON SCHWARTZMAN AND TRINA TURK BUY STUFF AT GARAGE SALES
We had a garage sale here in LA this weekend and the mid-century furniture, Herman Miller chairs, slightly used Too-Faced make-up, saddle shoes, 1970’s 3 speed bike, and vintage clothing, attracted quite a variety of customers. Among them two celebrities: First the famous designer Trina Turk – she’s a real beauty with a black Louise Brooks bob and among the things she brought was a 70’s print top with HER label in it. She explained it was made of vintage polyester fabric and she only produced a few of them. Also livening up the sale was Shopgirl actor Jason Schwartzman and his cute girlfriend whom he introduced as “Brady Cunningham.” (Sounds too retro to be true!) They snapped up a pair of bright yellow school issue metal chairs.
We have finally ascertained who is responsible for Tom Cruise’s oddly mature and unfashionable three piece suit look. Last week he was seen at Cut in Beverly Hills overdressed yet again in a vested suit and tie. For the past year Tom has been girdling himself in vests that match his dark suits. Keep in mind that stuffy three piece dark suits are seldom worn in warm Los Angeles. Lighter, hipper apparel is the choice for men of means. We just learned that Tom gets his suits from Brioni the Italian suitmaker who has a shop in Beverly Hills. Brioni specializes in custom making suits for men of odd sizes – tall men, SHORT men, heavy-set men etc. Sort of like a Big & Tall for rich guys. If their customers want shoes with lifts, they supply those too. Recently Tom went to the store to have his jacket buttons changed – he didn’t like the B emblem on them.
We were surprised to her that that Growing Up Gotti kid Carmine Gotti Agnello, who just turned 21, is coming out with a rap album. His rap alias is C. Gotti and he already has a deal with Ruff Ryders (DMX, Jadakiss and Cassidy.) Music insiders say it’s not a bad venture for Ruff Ryders because Carmine will pull in a whole new group of potential music buyers. Maybe. But we bet that Dapper Don John Gotti is spinning in his grave.
Gossip alert! We are trying to solve a David Hasselhoff mystery. If any readers out there were at Les Deux last Friday night (June 15) please contact this website ASAP! We have been told that David was partying at Les Deux and we’ve heard conflicting stories. Some say he was perfectly well behaved and others say he was not! We don’t know WHAT to think. So if there are any eyewitnesses out there – tell us what you saw. Let’s solve this mystery!
We give credit where credit is due. David Spade attended the Kitson fund-raiser and instead of mooching around for a gift bag or freebies like SOME actors do, he spent his OWN money and purchased a fund-raising Omnipeace T shirt. Keep in mind it’s not all that often that a celebrity voluntarily forks over some cash.
You see the most interesting people at Barneys in Beverly Hills on the first day of final markdowns. Santino Rice, one of our all time favorite losers on Project Runway, searched the men’s designer department for bargains. The lanky reality star was wearing white super-skinny jeans, a white blazer, white leather shoes, and a white hat over a black and white bandanna. He was particularly interested in the Alexander McQueen sale items and rummaged the rack from end to end.
The fallout from Paris Hilton’s jail sentence just keeps trickling down. Now it looks like she could bring down TWO politicians. First came Sheriff Lee Baca who let her out early with an ankle bracelet. LA City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo put up a terrific fuss and reporters dug up the info that Baca might have been doing favors because he was friendly with the Hiltons and Paris’s grandfather contributed to his campaign. That, and the news that he supports Scientology, has put his career is on very shaky ground. After Paris was locked up again, the spotlight turned on Rocky Delgadillo and the news that his wife was given a year’s probation for a crime somewhat similar to Paris’s. Of course the can of worms didn’t stop there – embarrassing auto accidents, misuse of company cars, staffers running personal errands, and who knows what next – has flattened Rocky. Both Baca and Delgadillo certainly regret they ever got involved with Paris Hilton.
