New York, June 19 2008 – There’s the Naked Cowboy in Times Square, and apparently he spawned a female imitator, the Naked Cowgirl (although we personally have never seen her, she has a Web site with photos and video.) Perhaps it was their grandmother we ran into yesterday on Times Square? She billed herself as the “Naked Cowgirl”, but unless the other Naked Cowgirl has aged a lot since she posted the photos on her Web site, it’s safe to say this is a knockoff. This being New York, a copyright infringement lawsuit can’t be far off, right?

Rosario Dawson Unveils New Boyfriend at World Ocean Day Event |

New York, June 4, 2008 – The folks at La Mer celebrated World Ocean Day in style, hosting a bash for Oceana, the world’s largest ocean conservation advocacy group. True, the gala was at Rockefeller Center in Manhattan rather than at the shore, but in the city, they managed to pull in Michelle Trachtenberg, Alek Wek and Rosario Dawson, who showed off her new boyfriend, Mathieu Schreyer, who DJs in Los Angeles under the moniker Mr. French. Dawson seemed really happy – beaming, actually – but demurred when we asked the two to pose together for a photo. So, we snapped the lovebirds separately. Amber Valletta and Ted Danson joined the throng; both are Oceana spokespersons. Danson looked dashing sporting a short beard that matched his white hair. Photos: Caroline Torem-Craig |

Rocker Patti Smith Stumps for Ralph Nader in NYC |

New York, May 31, 2008 – EXCLUSIVE - Ralph Nader is still in the U.S. presidential race as an Independent candidate, and he campaigned on the East Coast this weekend. We caught up with him on Saturday night at Cooper Union in New York City, where rock goddess Patti Smith made an unannounced appearance to support Nader. Smith recited the words to her song People Have the Power, which she said is Nader’s favorite. She later offered to autograph CDs that were for sale at the fundraiser. Nader spoke for over two hours(!) at the event before taking questions from the audience and auctioning off three special-edition reissued copies of his 1965 classic book, Unsafe at any Speed. Two copies sold for $2,300 apiece, and when the price of the third dropped to $1,000, Smith jumped in and bought it herself. Nader’s supporters were generous with their time as well as their money - the event began at 7:30 P.M., and when we left shortly before 11:00 P.M., Nader was signing copies of his 2004 book, The Good Fight. |

Usher's New Album, New Fragrance |

New York, May 27-30, 2008 – This was a big week for R&B star Usher. His new album, Here I Stand, dropped, and he introduced his new fragrance, UR, at a private dinner. The superstar supported our troops this Memorial Day, spending time aboard the USS Kearsarge, a helicopter carrier docked in Manhattan, promoting the new CD, signing autographs and greeting military men and women. They presented him with a cap bearing the boat’s name, and organizers had trouble keeping the excited crew from jumping the line. On Wednesday, Usher gave beauty editors a sneak sniff of his new fragrances – UR for Men and UR for Women. The scents will be in stores in September. The recently married new father finished the week with a Friday morning performance in Bryant Park on ABC’s Good Morning America.
