So while Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan get all the hype, there's another couple climbing the "techy" ranks. After just barely a year of dating, Sean Parker, the former president of Facebook, recently proposed to super cute singer/songwriter Alexandra Lenas, which leaves us wondering, who is this chick that has stolen Parker's heart?

Tantrum on the Tarmac doesn't have quite the same ring to it as Miracle on the Hudson. But 19 months after he saved 155 lives aboard US Airways Flight 1549, Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger has some competition for the title of aviation hero: Jet Blue Flight Attendant Steven Slater. More»

Things in New York work a certain way for the young and beautiful: Move to Manhattan post college and find friends old and new who admire your wind swept hair and enviable chest. Get a cush job in a perk laden industry. And then you meet the girl of your MTV casting dreams and get introduced mid-season onto a successful reality show. This formula seems to be working pretty well for Whitney Port's newest central casting heart throb, Freddie Fackelmayer, on The City... More»
A few days ago, it seemed like the details surrounding PR chick Mallory Montilla's arrest and story were a bit murky. It had the feeling of a hit job, or one of those mean girl type pranks. Was the first account of this story to be believed? Did she really think she was going to get away with a bunch of swag, especially after the PR company called her in July a month before the arrest about the missing stuff? Or was it some confusion/grudge that spiraled out of control?
With his trademark sweat sheen and whiskey breath, Priyantha Silva conned his way Bryant Park's Southwest Porch opening on Monday. The usual drunken stumbling, hand kissing and bragging commenced. He made sure to let several people know about his relationships with "seventeen year old girls" and of course that he has won numerous Oscars during his "fabulous filmmaker" career. Why do I have a feeling he wasn't an invited guest of Tom, Robert, or even Kelly?
In this day and age, it's often a thrilling surprise for even the most brilliant high school students to receive a fat envelope (a.k.a. acceptance letter) from their top choice college. But this year, New Utrecht High School valedictorian Lukasz Zbylut received one not only from his top choice (Harvard), but from 17 other prestigious colleges. The schools that accepted Zbylut include Ivies Yale, Dartmouth, and Columbia--in spite their falling acceptance rates over the past few years. It's probably not surprising that Zbylut lead the model U.N., the debate team, the school newspaper and various other organizations during his four years at New Utrecht. And while it may be easy to make fun of Zbylut for being, um, a nerd, we all know that he's going to save the world someday.

Sometimes you open up your inbox to a wealth of shit. Today was one of those days. A little birdie, or rather a large pidgeon dropped off these pics of Oscar Batori, the model-wrangling, steak frite-snarfing, shit-talking, Prada-clad "image director" of Kiss and Fly. You know, that guy who was recently in the Sunday Styles section claiming he was living large. You know, the guy that needs a beat down. So a question for you fellow readers: What is the difference between Oscar Batori and a douchebag? The bag of course.

Update: Oscar Batori should have never become friends with Gawker on Facebook!
You probably have seen this show before, though you don't want to admit it to yourself. Like an addict, you are in denial. It's that show that rears its ugly head around 10pm when you are trying to wind down and pull yourself away from the boob tube. Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew is a mediocre show at best, underwhelming, undistinguished, and yet somewhat addictive. Daniel Baldwin is the only participant with any real star power, and his is weak at best, riding off the largess of the Baldwin clan. More»
