Guess which one of these "real" housewives of NYC was wasted at the Empire Hotel rooftop bar, dressed to the nines (including a heavy makeup job that looked like 7 layer bean dip). I think she rubbing up on us, or just trying to take up as much of the bar as possible. Ahhh, those damned housewives and their sense of entitlement.

Not to get all Linda Richman, but ponder this. The "housewives" neither live in a house, and not all of them are married, at least happily. So should Bravo re-name the show "Real Cougars of NYC"? Discuss.

Where: Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 Premiere after party around 11pm

Who: Momager Dina and Starlet to be Ali screaming at a Warner Bros employee about the "Reserved" section. They were swiftly kicked out of the party and escorted out of the premises. Dina's breath smelt of Long Island Iced Teas (sticking to the hometown brew eh), Ali furiously calling her "publicist" complaining about being treated unfairly, and Noble Security shaking their heads at the two. Downstairs, as if it weren't enough that Dina was wasted, she walked into a wall screaming that we would never work in this town again! Imagine that.

As fate would happen, this wasn't the only Lohan spotting!

Where: The Cock on 2nd and 2nd at around 3 am

Who: Lindsay and her girlfriend Samantha Ronson, kicking back mixed drinks dancing to the glorious tunes of Mr. Josh Sparber, requesting Kylie, and chatting up the woman at the door. We almost thought Joey the Go-Go boy was going to lose his shit, we mean he had already lost his pants, not that we minded. She was, of course, in leggings and making out with Sam in between chatting up the speechless gays who couldn't believe she was there.

Just another typical night with the Lohan's.

You know you love us.

These two hunky tv stars and roommates continuously keep denying the rampant rumors of a relationship brewing between them, yet they keep doing the gayest things like going to a George Michael concert together.
Tsk, Tsk, but we aren't ones to gossip.

If You Cup It, We'll Flip It

So last night was probably the craziest , wildest, and most fun tournament of Flip Cup that the crazy Big Apple Apple Dodgeball league has hosted. Disguised as a "social event", it was just a chance for those hot dodgeballers to find an excuse to see each other, drink their faces off, make out, and try to get some new members to join. All in all, a rowdy and randy time. Good thing there are pictures to document the night, because lord knows we woke up with a hangover the size of Gym Bar, and were dying to know what embarrassing things we got ourselves into and how we could do that again!

It was hosted at the Stonewall Inn, at the heart of the West Village, and boy did they not realize what they were getting into. Brian looks so cute in that light, perhaps he should go work in the Red Light District? Imagine getting paid for what he loves!

Monica and Vanessa getting ready to lead the charge with a chest bump and hip thrust before taking it down the hatch. Eric L. is playing role of scorekeeper, and let me tell you, he made the cutest scorekeeper ever.

Paul W. and Brian leading their teams to victories, and look at the excitement on their team's faces!

The night tried to start innocently enough with everyone bringing their A-Game to the table. We kinda love the come hither look Eric L!

What is a dodgeball get together if there isn't some sort of team chant/cheer? "Fierce it out, Fierce, Fierce it out" was fresh in our minds, but "Four on the Floor"was the chant for Team 4. I believe RJ said to Monica at one point, "Wow you aren't competitive are you or anything?" Honey we all are.

The ladies of BAD representing and seriously conquering at the head of the table.

And look they brought their friends! Don't be scared ladies!

Best use of a Deep V-Neck T-shirt goes to..... Brian! Yum.

Of course there was the occasional trash talking, I mean would you expect anything else?

It was only a matter of time before it came down to Paul the Commissioner leading the brigade to start stripping. It always begins with the shirts doesn't it? If you look closely, you can see the new tattoo that Russell got, and he would find any excuse to take off his shirt and show it to you, not that we are complaining!

Our dodgeball crushes: Paul W. and Shane B. We predicted one would look smoking hot in his t-shirt and boy he looks even better without it. Meanwhile the other was most likely to be the hottest mess and he did not disappoint!

An aerial view of the hot-tastic shirtless crowd.

Are they celebrating or rioting? With these guys you never know!

Thom and Brian getting frisky while dancing to our summer jam from the Pussycat Dolls "When I Grow Up". Somewhere in the background you could practically see Ben S. dancing on a table.

Victory never smelled so sweet, or drunk.

And lastly Eric L. in his shirtless, sweaty, and dancing glory! Everyone went their own seperate ways to G, Pieces for beer pong, or to the Eagle for some after hours fun.

 A special thanks goes out to Paul, the Fun committee, and Brian & Jessica's fantastic photo skills.

You know you love me.

I Ain't One To Gossip

Guess which reality "star" and clothing designer, made a fashion boo-boo at a recent premiere? Perhaps she should pay more attention to her spaghetti strapped dresses and back acne, than her "fueds" with her co-stars.

Spotted

Chace Crawford & Ed Westwick of Gossip Girl at the DARK KNIGHT premiere Monday night. Sadly they wouldn't take pictures together.

Why so serious, boys?

Homo On The Range

We have started watching Big Brother last night, and with every new season comes the question, which one is the gay guy they will inevitably be kicked off soon? The gays never make it to the end, but this one in particular we hope doesn't suffer the same fate as the gays before him!

Age: 35

Hometown: Dallas, TX via Opelousas, LA

Occupation: Rodeo Competitor

Marital Status: Single

That's right he is a Gay COWBOY. He is like the modern day Ennis from "Brokeback Mountain". We have pulled the following from his biography.

Steven is a geographic consultant by day and a rodeo cowboy by night. He is a champion bull rider in the gay rodeo circuit. (They have a gay rodeo circuit in Texas?!)

He attended the Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, TX as well as the University of North Texas in Denton. He earned a Bachelor's Degree in General Agriculture/Marketing and lists graduating from college as his proudest accomplishment. (So he's educated, but is wasting his degree).

He describes his perfect romantic partner as strong and masculine, financially secure and smart. (Aren't we all looking for that?!?)

Some of his favorite activities include being outside with his dog, Payton, a one-eyed miniature Daschund (Say What?!).

He also loves watching television and working out. His favorite television shows are "Heroes," "Project Runway" and "Nip/Tuck." (As Christian would say Fierce!)

He sees himself as being extremely good at reading people and then manipulating them into doing what he wants them to do. He feels he is unique and random and claims that everyone who meets him likes him. (So we are sold!)

I think it's reality show love at first sight.

It's a HIT!

This summer we are loving "Legally Blonde" on MTV. Not only is it so much fun to watch catty blondes belting Broadway, but Paul Canaan is priceless in his praising of some of the girls. His catchphrase "That's a HIT!" is truly infectious.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meqWvBHa650

You know you have a catchphrase when people start repeating it and posting it on Youtube!

And there is of course this rumor: A tipster has just told us that Kevin Federline, the ferrety failed rapper and ex-husband of Britney Spears, may soon be making his Broadway debut as the "sexy" UPS Guy in the currently-running Legally Blonde musical.

In case you are wondering, we are totally pulling for Bailey.

Trend Spotting

Is it just us, or are temporary tattoos the trend heating up the cold shores of Manhattan this summer? We are loving the different looks you can achieve, oh and the places they can go! (Was that just a dirty play on words from Dr. Suess?)

Our favorite spot is the inside of the forearm. Totally Dreamy!

Spotted

Guess who has seen their 15 minutes of reality fame legally go up in flames. Perhaps she's chasing a dream of bright lights and big city, or perhaps she was too brunette for a blonde?

CASSIE O. FROM LEGALLY BLONDE: THE SEARCH FOR THE NEXT ELLE WOODS

She was seen hosting at Brooklyn Diner on W. 57th Street.

Does pink go with a side of fries?

Get Your America On!
