Learn how to eat, drink and be merry like Bill Gates!

 

Bill Gates knows how to get down with the cool kids and celebrities as proven this weekend at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. The computer and technology king ate the trendiest food, danced atop a banquette with a gorgeous blonde and befriended the likes of John Legend. Oh, and he managed to debut and help sell the new film he's a part of, Waiting for Superman. All in a day's work for Bill Gates.

Bill began his Friday night of festival fun at his own Bing Supper Club. The chic crowd munched on Manhattan's finest specially shipped from Philippe Chow. "Bill was in a really festive mood! He had a few friends with him, but was talking to everyone - very friendly. He loved the chicken satay with peanut sauce. He was drinking Johndrow Vineyard wine and hanging out with John Legend. They were deep in conversation over their drinks. Bill stayed out late with the rest of the crowd in Park City."

By Saturday, Bill was ready to party all night long with a banquette of new Sundance friends at his Bing Afterhours event sponsored by Onitsuka Tiger in the Film Lounge/House of Hype. "Bill climbed into a booth and was dancing with a mystery woman. The woman was a young blonde and they were friendly while John Legend performed for Bill and the crowd. Eventually the dance party got going and Bill sipped cocktails and danced late into the night with the mystery girl and a group of friends. Bill had a few cocktails and got into the music and moment of the dance! They were grooving and everyone was having a blast."

Supermodel Rachel Hunter joined Queen Latifah with her entourage while The Roots jammed onstage with John Legend during his set. The Bing event was so successful that this weekend Bill's film, Waiting for Superman, about education in the United State and directed by An Inconvenient Truth's Davis Guggenheim, was sold to Paramount Vantage in record time!

Christmas in New York 2009

 

My APT on Christmas = The Land of Sleeping Men

 

I fed Brendt, Jermaine and Ryan so well that they all drifted off to sleep at one point. This is pretty typical after one of my dinners.

Christmas in New York!

 

I went home early this year to the Midwest so that I could celebrate Christmas in New York! After living here for 8 years, I spent my first Christmas in my home and it was so wonderful! Brendt and I did Midnight Mass at the Actor's Chapel, which was dreamy, candle-lit and loaded with classic Christmas carols. I had a cocktail after with Jermaine to toast the birth of baby Jesus and then we had a huge Christmas dinner the next day. This is me proudly displaying my almost perfect apple pie.

Classic Fun in NYC Means Happy Holidays!!!

 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Thanks for supporting and reading over the years - I couldn't make it without you. Love to ALL my family, friends and extended pals out there in the world. Hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and bright, exciting and super successful 2010.

Lindsay Lohan good "friends" Adam Senn

 

Believe what you will, but this is airtight. It's been happening for weeks now. Lindsay Lohan is with Adam Senn. At least when she's in NYC. She's got a boytoy in NY and LA...and quite frankly, she's young and she's allowed. And Adam is hot. Read their dinner details when he met her family...warning, drama in here!

Interview with Dog the Bounty Hunter

My Interview with Alicia Keys - in Jay Z's dressing room!

 

I interviewed Alicia Keys in Jay Z's dressing room Tuesday night at her Keep A Child Alive benefit. They SHUT IT DOWN when they performed Empire State of Mind together to close her show. I have never experienced anything like hearing that song, live, in such a small venue. Every single person was on their feet belting the words. I totally lost it. BUT, before I lost it, I was lucky enough to head backstage to chat with Alicia about the creation of that song, her love for Tim McGraw and all things Alicia. Read it here!

This is the ACTUAL performance that I saw and I almost could have cried it was so exciting to be a part of the iconic song in NYC! Jay hit the stage about 4 min in. Shut it down.
