Hollywood's Grand Dame of Gossip and Style
At this point the world has been immersed into the memory and legacy of Steve Jobs. The new biography on Apple’s ex-CEO and front man comes out today, but some of the revelations in the book have been leaking out before the release. Religion, drugs and scandal – you’ll be able to find them all in Steve’s biography!
Former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton‘s daughter, Chelsea, is engaged. The only child of the couple is set to marry the son of a former congressman from Iowa and congresswoman from Pennsylvania: Investment banker Marc Mezvinsky. Chelsea and Marc, who have been dating well before her mother was on the democratic campaign trail, were friends as teenagers and studied together at Stanford University. The couple was rumored to be getting married last summer in Martha’s Vineyard but the stories turned out to be false. They announced their engagement in a mass e-mail to over 500 family and friends Friday morning.
Per ABC:
“We’re sorry for the mass email but we wanted to wish everyone a belated Happy Thanksgiving! We also wanted to share that we are engaged! We didn’t get married this past summer despite the stories to the contrary, but we are looking toward next summer and hope you all will be there to celebrate with us. Happy Holidays! Chelsea & Marc.”
The happy couple live in New York, and he employed by Goldman Sachs while she attends graduate school at Columbia University’s School of Public Health. Though all four of their parents are political figures, both of their fathers were at the center of scandals – Clinton with the whole Monica Lewinsky situation, and Edward Mezvinsky, who was released from federal prison last year after pleading guilty to charges of bank and wire fraud.
It sounds like she picked the right guy! In February last year, Marc bought a 1,900-square-foot apartment in NYC for just over $4 million – in cash. And no, that is not a typo! I don’t know about you, but I want to see that engagement ring. Someone who can afford a house like that can surely afford one hell of a sparkler! Let’s hope she has better luck than her mother.
Tell me, who do I make my check out to? “Twilight” hunk Robert Pattinson auctioned off kisses for two people at $20,000 a piece in Cannes at last nights amfAR’s Cinema Against AIDS event. The bidding became so high that Pattinson was split between two bidders, who each paid the massive donation for the chance to win a kiss on the cheek from Sparklepants.
The offer of a special screening of Quentin Tarantino’s World War II revenge movie “Inglourious Basterds” raised 60,000 for the charity. David Furnish, husband of Elton John, generously sold his own watch. Also up for grabs at the auction was one of those ridiculous Chanel-branded Segway scooters and a joking strip-tease from Josh Hartnett. Fortunately for him – and us -bidding never got high enough. Maybe they should have asked Robert Pattinson instead? Bill Clinton’s personal Alpine Alto saxophone, which was signed by the former president, went on to sell for an unbelievable $130K.
Per People:
“Everyone in this room is better off than 99.9 percent of people on this entire earth,” he told the gathering, which also included Marion Cotillard, Robin Wright Penn, Eva Herzigova and Paris Hilton.”
You mean Paris Hilton could actually quit sleezing around for one night for a good cause? I guess miracles do happen!
Sharon Stone hosted the 16th annual event Thursday night at the exclusive Hotel du Cap on the French Riviera. The evening also paid tribute to Liam Neeson’s late wife Natasha Richardson. A emotion-filled Sharon remembered the actress as “a passionate supporter and fund raiser” for the AIDS cause. Later, singer Annie Lennox performed a song in honor of the actress.
Its nice to see stars helping to give back to charities.
