Los Angeles, May 11, 2006 – Drinking is always advisable when you’ve been sentenced to prison for tax evasion, and so, over-the-top fashion designer Roberto Cavalli went ahead and launched his own brand of premium vodka, naturally. We noticed it was air kissing as usual at the vodka’s launch party on Thursday at a private mansion in the Holmby Hills. (That would be in Los Angeles, which means Italian authorities had no problem with Cavalli leaving the country.) Roberto's little tax problem seemed to have never happened. Mischa Barton, Anne Heche, Nicky Hilton, Alana Stewart and Cindy Crawford and her bar-owning, vodka-serving husband Rande Gerber tasted the new creation. Lindsay Lohan was late – so late, that we had already left by the time she arrived.
