The New Yorkers for Children Gala was held at the Madarin Oriental Wednesday night. (New Yorkers for Children is a program founded in 1996 by Nicholas Scoppetta that is dedicated to child services, especially those in foster care.) The gala was like a high school reunion for celebrities. The guest list included literally everyone. Josh Hartnett, Rachel Zoe, Serena Williams (with boyfriend Common), Emmy Rossum, Bon Jovi, and yes, even Michael Jackson. The who's who goes on and on. I wonder if the 'Real' housewives made an appearance. If they did, obviously no one cared. Once the champagne ceased to flow, the question came into play as to what to do next. There were two options. One was Rose Bar at Josh Hartnett's Kur Khan table. The other was to join Miss Amy Sacco at Bungalow 8. Now when did Bungalow 8 come back in style? I haven't heard from it since the first season of Sex and The City. Well, it's back in vogue because the chi-chi coke den known as Beatrice Inn is temporarily closed.
Anyways, both hot spots were ablaze with wanna-be's and some-actually-are's. The real names called it a night because of long commutes to the West Coast or early morning appearances but little starlets such as Jamie Burke, Theodora Richards, Joy Bryant, Jessica Diehl, Eva Amurri, Bonnie Morrison, Chris Benzand, and Poppy Delevingne (photographed pulling a Paris Hilton) made a night of it at Bungalow 8. Josh Hartnett's table was flanked by the likes of Jen Brill and Byrdie Bell, Lauren Santo Domingo and Tara Subkoff, then Jack Huston and Cat Deeley. Pretty soon the whole club was his table but that's OK because as soon as one overly dressed tart left, there was an underly dressed unknown ready to take her place.
Bungalow 8 didn't quite have the same turnstile effect because of their Studio 54-like door policy of 'cute but not too cute'.
At any rate, it's nice to see that people are still kicking up their heels and having a good time. Not to mention pulling down their panties in random corner booths. (But you didn't hear that from me!)
