New York, September 7 – Elle turned 21 and celebrated at Bloomingdale’s, fashionista-style. Granted, we might have preferred a more traditional observance of this milestone, like downing shots of tequila, for instance, but we guess this is appropriate for a 21-year-old fashion magazine. The party was suitable for Lindsay Lohan, who, at 19 is still innocently dreaming about imbibing. Lindsay is old enough to take in Kanye West’s performance. West trotted around with one of those just-released, super slim iPod Nanos glued to his ear. We asked him what he was listening to, but he was lost in Nano land, and didn’t remove the earphone even with his arm around Rebecca Romijn.

Meanwhile, Lohan’s good buddy and cohort in skinniness Nicole Richie was checking out merchandise, but not at Bloomingdale’s. At a party for Samsonite’s black label premium line, when a reporter on the red carpet asked if there had been any thaw in her feud with reality costar Paris Hilton, Nicole said no, and then hurried on inside.
