Paul Johnson-Calderon's Five Finger Discount At The Eldridge; Recession So Bad In NYC, Socialites Reverting To Stealing

After he climbed up the social ladder by being seen around Jules Kirby, how sad is it that the way he repays her is by stealing. 

atleast eldridge caught who stole it, and it wasn't even a stranger, it was calenderone, this guy goes everywhere, and this happens way too much in every other club 

OMFG!!!! I'm appaplled, I heard about the blackberry incident!!! 

HE SHOULD BE BANNED FROM NYC !!!!! 

what the hell is a social ladder? 

Thats my jacket he's wearing in the photo, it was stolen from beatrice inn the night Paul was there. If anyone has his contact info please post it here or send it to me. 

omg maria s bagggg 

lol Another piece of trash to get tossed in the failpail. 

Forgive and forget, or forgive but never forget? 

What a douchebag... this isn't his first sticky finger incident... and apparently he favors purses. BLACKLIST. 

...or just forget (he exists)? 

I know PJC and he will definitely be reading these comments. We should all give him a bit of advice. My advice to you Paul: Stop lying about your past and start to get real. No one really cares where you were born or who your family is. And if they do, they will never be good friends to you. 

he's from jersey...... what do u expect? 

ewww... grosss. Must have needed more money for his ugly bow-ties and short shorts. So cute! you thought you could get away with this Paula. The camera never lies. All you real socialites watch out for this social climbing sticky-finger imposter. 

did anyone take notice of the way he is holding the purse?? who steals a purse by holding it in two arms like a supplicant? What an idiot, if you are going to steal a purse at least let it hang down near your legs so people might not see it. It is like he wanted to get caught 

DID you hear that?

That's the sound of Paul's rep going down the crapper.. 

He was looking through my friend's purse the other night at 1 oak, he came off as he loved ther purse and wanted to have it featured in his blog!!!! THIEF!!!!!! 

Poser! Wannabe! Fraud!!!!! 

Does he have a fanmail address! Lol!

Eldridge and the purse owner should press charges. 

I agree, somone needs to put an end to his sticky finger ways. So many rumors and facts that he's stolen a coat, purse, blackberry in the past.

Matt, if you're reading this....... PRESS CHARGES. He should be treated like any other criminal. 

Big ups to GofG for this wonderful write up! and Paul, if you're reading this you should dig a whole and burry yourself or simply move back to NJ. What a selfless piece of scum. Some1 must alert the folks at Beatrice. 

I'm surprised he's not responding to the comments with different alias' defending himself (example: I've been friends with Paul for so many years and he's a great person.....). Go to hell LOOSER. I agreee! Press charges. 

MAJOR PARTY CRASHER, I've seen him get turned away at a few events, drops Peter Davis' name like its going out of style and now he's moved on to bigger and better stuff - robbing nyc's elites. Bravo! 

He claims to be royalty, "my mom this and my mom that", brrhahahaahaahha. the only thing I can say about your mom: she gave birth to a Looser! O yeah, and a thief. 

I've seen him walk in and out of 1 oak with a Chanel purse last week!!! GOD knows who that purse belongs to....... very sad. 

Maybe he's doing it for attention. Maybe mums and daddums don't love him enough. Maybe he is trying to fill the hole in his heart left by Jules departure. Maybe he has a drug habit. Maybe he thinks it's funny. That's all the excuses I can think of this early in the morning. 

maybe he's just an idiot. no excuses. this is low. 

We too got the tip on PJC yesterday but decided not to run the story for the simple fact it WAS true. Paul John Calderon is a loathesome person and to give him press for such a pathetic incident is pointless for us.

What is sad is that most people making light of it, the truth is he treats people like sh*t, it is not FUNNY in the least that he is taking items from anyone. He is quite lucky that GOAG even bothers to give him coverage. We applaud GOAG's ability to be objective and let the chips fall where they may!

Prayer is in order here and it is our belief that Matt Levine should not let a known thief into his establishment, particularly one that he has released video tape of to the press.

;) 

We are what we preceive to be; nothing more, nothing less. 

That is sad. I too have seen him get turned away to numerous events. At Fashion Week he always crawls his way to the front row. This is where lying gets you. You think you get away with it the whole time, but when you do something out of step it'll come up and bite you. He must of been desperate. Goodbye Paper Mag job! 

He should be arrested for his short shorts violation first. 

These "men" will never be socialites like those they hang around with (tinsley mortimer, jules kirby, fabiola)

GET A J O B 

Paul's next step? they try to make me go to rehab, i say NO, NO,NO....but do they have a 12 step program for thieves?? 

at the end of the day i dont think anyone should lose sight of the fact that this fucking asshole could walk out with a girl's purse and not give a shit about how this girl was going to get home, if she had money for a cab, a phone to call a friend, keys to get into her apartment. who does that shit?! does he not have any female family ? a little siste or a close cousin he wpuldnt want the same shit happen to?? it really is sick and disgusting and dispicable. maybe this girl worked months to get this bag, thru her own sacrifice, to have this self-entitled scum pick it up and walk out like he can cause he's the shit. i think its matt's fucking reponsibility to press charges against this piece of shit crackhead and stand up/protect his patrons or employees so that things like this stop happening as much as it does 

I totally agree!!! Matt PRESS CHARGES!!!!!

I can understand a female picking up someone else purse........

This crackhead must pay for his own mistakes!! 

This kid should be banned from every nightclub/event in NYC. It's losers like this who come from God knows where, change their identity and give the city a bad name. He stole my friends jacket and a couple of purses that I know of. I would punch this kid if he was a man but he is not. Everybody who has any proof should press full charges and send this dirtbag to Rikers where he belongs. 

This behavior illuminates the proclivity of these so-called "socialites" to lie. Further evidence: the recently published page 6 truth about Mr. Kipton Cronkite's false claims to his heritage. As an avid devourer of this blog, can I suggest an expose on "socialies"... who really lies in this infectiously vapid and ugly sub-culture of self-promoting "socialites." They've taken what was once a glamorous and highly-philanthropic social category and turned it into a shameful and debase caricature (the ones who lie anyway) Ah, the vile babies... 

shoot i got my purse stolen a few weeks ago at pianos (probably to lowbrow for this chump) but maybe he walked off with mine too! 

All of you are throwing the word "socialite" around waaaayyy too loosely. What makes him a "socialite?" The fact that he moved to New York, gave a couple of bjs, befriended some people who attend fashion shows and events around town? 

Carlos go on facebook and message him. Get your item back. They need to press charges against him. The poor hostess at Eldridge. The staff there is so great and for Paul to do this just shows he is worthless scum. Matt is a nice guy and will do what is right. 

he is a stoner who just needed money for pot. anyone agree? 

What I want to know is what kind of retard leaves her purse sitting around in a damn bar out of her line of vision? It's New York, not Sandusky. You can't just leave your shit sitting around unattended and not expect someone to palm it.

I'm not excusing what he did, but fer christs sakes. You are responsible for your shit when you go out, folks. It's not Matt's job to press charges, it's the flaming imbecile who left her puse out there waiting to be grabbed who has to press the charges, and if I were a prosecutor I would laugh her out of my office. "Wah I left a valuable purse with all my stuff in it sitting around a bar in NYC while I was off playing grabass not paying attention, and it got STOLEN!! What is the world coming to!!!"

Gimme a break. 

re: Disgusting. That's just the point, he isn't? Nor are most of the lowly denizens of arriviste-ville on this and most gossipy websites. But that's their goal, isn't it? Fame and fortune with no foundation for either benefit. 

Shame on you all. None of you know Paul, and therefore should keep your nasty comments to yourself. This is bullshit and grounds for a lawsuit. 

This shit just got real!

You know Luca Perry from 20th and 25th?

You ever heard of Rollin 20's, Since I was 16, I'm saying, "frosty." You know what I'm saying, "spoon", We fucked dwarves in the ass!

We got this!!!! 

Actually I know Paul, ALAK. When I met him at Beatrice he told me he absolutely loved my shoes, and how amazingly cute I looked. Then two seconds later I heard him say my shoes definitely weren't real snakeskin to his hideously ugly friend who's name I won't even give publicity too. His friend steals allllllll the time, I know of 4 ppl who know with 99 % certainty that she stole a handbag, some pot, a really expensive necklace, and some alcohol on separate occasions. Her name begins with an A for all who know. I don't know Paul as well, but usually you are who you hang out with. 

do bank robbers know the bank tellers? 

Wow, it takes a big loser to be laughed out of NYC so young. His greed and gross need for attention are borderline Lohan, which has not been cute for awhile. Go F*** your self PJC nobody loves you! Scum.... 

My friends know Paul quite well and this incident is no surprise. He is getting what he deserves. He goes around town lying, absurdly trying to get into parties he was not invited to. It is sad and tiring. He is probably broke as he lies about who is family is. 

re:AlAK. You must me kidding? If you do know Paul than you know all of these accusations are 100% true. The kid is a thief. The only lawsuit is gonna be a criminal one and I can assure you Paul is not going to be the plaintiff. 

Has anyone noticed the bowl circling crappiness of the social scene since Hamily Brill dropped off the radar??? In this economy I think we could all use her stabilizing presence. Come back, Emily Brill, and save the future of socialiteism. 

where is BRILL? 

Well clearly the Paul you thought you knew has some skeletons in his closet. And supposedly he steals from his own friends. Hmmmm??? Maybe you should reevaluate your friendship...OR better yet, what kind of bag you carry out. 

comment from Peter Davis and Kristian Laliberte please. 

I think the point of this story is that you really aren't ANYONE in this town until PJC steals something from you. 

the irony of this story is that he usually gets rejected from the eldridge, he got in because his friend was friends with the dj, francesco, naeem, the door guy usually rejects paul everytime 

The poor girl. She should absolutely press charges. I'm sure Matt Levine has already shut the door on his guest pass at Eldridge. Beatrice and SouthSide should do the same. We don't need to give social trash like Mr. StickyFingers a playground to play on. Come on. If I were the girl I would have pressed charges immediately and given pjc NO time for saving face. 

I agree, everything has gone to hell for these fauxialites since Emily essentially vanished from the blogosphere, retiring to her 5th Avenue home, sipping hamtinis and getting her mind blown by The City.

I've met Paul. Nice enough guy to me, but this doesn't really come as any surprise, which kind of hurts to say. 

i am impressed how great the security cameras are! 

Bradley, maybe we should get together and throw Ham parties at all the best haunts, to lure her out.

The economy being the way it is, I'll undertsand if you can't help me finance such a venture. Maybe we could get Artful Dodger up there to round us up some purses to help pay for it. 

Pathetic. He should be faced with charged. If anything, an example should be made that nightclubs will not tolerate behavior like this. He should never be allowed in anywhere. He's worse than Wynona. Not only is he an fraud but so is Jules and all those people. It isn't worth caring about who they really are after all their lies. How dare they steal. There is no excuse for that. Charges should be unquestionably be pressed against him 

I think we are all missing the point here. Was the bag even designer? Also, if you don't think for a second that he stole that bag to buy some coke then you are crazy. I'm thinking this is drug motivated behavior. Which doesn't make it right, but it definitely means he needs some help. 

With regards to your faux tip - Paul is not In NYC today and therefore met with NO ONE and admitted to taking anything. This is all crap and completely untrue - keep hating - really becoming. 

Poor Jules was totally used by Paul. Hope she has learne her lesson and is staying away from those sorts of frauds 

because it all happened Thursday afternoon. Exiled from the city? 

OF COURSE he's not in NYC. Everyone knows the best fencers live in Detroit. Pffft sheesh. 

Faxutipster... your wrong... He has already given the girl $500 and said he is waiting for his parents to transfer the rest. 

Does anyone remember that there was a Page Six item that said Minnie Mortimer's Chanel bag was stolen at an event about a year ago? Now we finally have a suspect....! 

Fauxtipster - People lie, Surveillance tape don't!!!!! Paul is a thief and a crackhead!!!! I'm glad he's not in NYC, he should stay wherever he is!!!! 

"The best things in life are free, but you can give them to the bird & bees"

PJC Facebook Status at 2:38am on March 20!

I guess shit ain't free anymore and now you have to deal with the birds and bees! 

The Bag is Still Missing Because his Drug Dealer Has it Now! 

He is so gross. Those denim cut off shorts and high waisted pants. Ew. He should steal clothes. 

One things for sure Paul, you need to keep those sticky fingers out of the fashion closets. You and Winona Ryder would make a great tag team if you lose your job at Paper. Kisses. 

Handbags to dimebags, someone knows how to get more bags out of one. 

Really, you think Paul used Jules Kirby??? Jules Kirby is a nobody who made a fan website about herself as a way to get herself into the social scene. 

You don't exile people from NY...whoever wrote that is an idiot. And I guarantee this was a publicity stunt. 

An awfully made website to boot. 

http://www.jossip.com/who-is-managing-the-eldridges-pr-20090320/

Damage control is embarrassing....

So is stealing and getting caught red handed 

The Issue at Hand is Someone that acts like a Socialite is Finally Being Seen for the Asshole He is. 

How do I press charges if he stole something of mine a year ago, and never returned it? Can I still do that? I didn't want to at that point because I just figured no one would believe me, but now the evidence is out, I feel like I have a leg to stand on and the police might take me seriously. does anyone know? If so, please email me! 

Another name for the unsophisticated and corrupt GUEST list. 

You really think Jules Kirby would make that website about herself? It is horrible. I believe she may have a site, but that one was obviously made by some stalker, probably PJC 

why do you people enjoy oing to places you might get "turned away" from. how is that enjoyable even if you "get in" 

Partypants, I had a dream last night where a year into the future, our heroes Emily Brill, Devorah Rose, and Paul Johnson-Calderon quit their heavy journalism professions and partygoing ways and went to Chipotle on St. Mark's to eat Ham & Hash burritos, dish and laugh about their lowest times and how life is so much easier now, later to go to Astor Place to spin that big cube around, skipping around, fancy free, forgoing the life of the Social, remembering their times in New York before blogs, before Beatrice, and before Patrick McMullan. 

Kristian! Simply go to the police station, and file a report!!!! Bring that asshole to justice!!! 

Can we start calling this abnoxious bloated party freak by his real name, Paul Calderon, and his transgender friend Deborah Denise Trachtenberg? What are these stage names? 

He is a nobody. This story didn't even make Page 6. 

Hope that Jules had a lock on her phone. What a douche bag of a friend Paul is. 

im glad he got busted. pretty desperate move. hes a man of many lies 

Trinity Alum here,

This has been going on for a long time... 

so what's the latest? did he pay up like he should or is he trying to scam his way out of this like he does everything in his life?

the bitch needs to be arrested. 

Is this dude really from New Jersey?

I kind of feel sorry for him... 

Guest of a Guest/Rachelle. Thank you for posting! We need more like this on GofaG. It is like real life Gossip Girl, but better. Sigh..... 

he's from new jersey? ouch. 

Will someone please enlighten us?

If the guy claims to have so much $$$, and come from this family, and blah blah blah... Why is he stealing? 

http://www.nypost.com/seven/03242009/gossip/pagesix/club_video_catches_snatcher_160997.htm

CLASSIC!!! 

i have known paul for a long time. i knew him on the way up, before he blogged or was blogged about. the kid is a dirtbag and a drug addict. he waits till you back is turned then talk shit and steals your stuff. the stealing shit has been going on forever. he giggles about it with his or drug addict, dirty, BORING friends. these people shouldnt be shunned because the steal or are poor or from bad familys, they should be shunned because they suck. they were painful to talk to to begin with and once their brains are destroyed by drugs and selfpromotion is gets that much worse. 

wow. stick a fork in this kid - he's done. 

perhaps now is the right time to ask, as i have never gotten a straight answer before. . . what race is PJC??? is he black? Spanish? some sort of mix? he certainly isnt baby-powder white. . or cocaine white. . . 

He's from Massachusetts. 

Seriously, it's not like Xtian Lolibertie needs to be throwing his hat in the ring on this one. Isn't he notorious for taking things to "review" and never returning them? He needs to comment on this story about as much as he needs a dime bag and a fourth slice of cheesecake. 

I smell envy. The common denominator here is that PJC is enough of a rock star smokeshow to merit this many posts. Those of you who have never taken anything from a party clearly don't rock your face off like PJC. Breaking commandments sucks, but I worship false idols like a fiend when I'm overserved. What excuse do you haters have for coveting your neighbor's hotness? There is no form of life that is not aroused by PJC. This incident just adds to his mystery (he's from the Isle of Mann and was sired by Ziggy Stardust BTW). Drink a frotch, haters. 

Woooow....bout time for the nurse to bring that Clozaril around eh? 

partypants--I am very comfortable at about 158. Making disparaging comments about my weight is really scraping the barrel. If by notorious in your comment, you mean that once, someone sent me something for a shoot and it never got used then yes, you are utilizing the word correctly. 

I loved that story. Zomg KL haz muh hats and does not give back endofworld! Sort of a stupid thing to get upset enough about to comment on to the press, imo. 

i smell envy? that was totally posted by him. look at the language. thieves are the lowest of low. how disgusting. also about the thief he trolls around with... i think i know who you are talking about ebraver. both are hideous vacant creatures. i used to find the idea of pjc somewhat amusing however that changed to general annoyance and now i just think he's really sad. the kid obviously had something going for him if he was able to weasel his way this far, shame he had to do so in such an ugly dishonest way... a way that leaves you with no real friends when something like this happens. doing something like this shows complete and utter hubris, the belief that you are entitled to anything you want and that you are above the law. it also shows complete disregard for the girl whose purse he took. having something stolen is such an awful feeling. what a sick kid. 

to everyone at BEATRICE. DO NOT LEAVE anything WITH a DESIGNER NAME ON it this crackhead will steal it. do yourselves a favor and warn angelo at the door. and his cracked out friends too 

I'm sensing a lot of anger. 

http://www.nypost.com/seven/03242009/gossip/pagesix/club_video_catches_snatcher_160997.html 

Ugh Bea is a different story- there are LOADS of people who steal there. Even one of the waitresses!!! She stole from me and I caught her and she gave it back saying it was an accident! Not to mention Paul, his posse, this crazy Brazilian girl that goes there with her hair so slicked back she looks like shes giving herself a face lift and all her friends. Which btw also all hang with Paul. hmmmmmm Blow and Cleptos... that's two we have never seen together before. 

umm why has noone mentioned Miranda Levitt in this equation? between her and Paul the two could open up a designer coop with pink balenciagas and chloe ribbon bow flats and chanel 2.55 bags. and Miranda can pretend she is carry the real thing but believe me the real thing she is carrying is stolen and will always be fake on her and everyone knows just ask KATIE ROLING. but beware of Paul and Miranda bitches 

slicked back hair because paul wipes his cum in it and she and him share one thing in common and it aint stealing - nose candy baby! and she is so hot and thin girlfriend has got the tightest skin she and this photographer took some hot photos about 3 months ago at this loft in tribeca she looked exquisite dont think she steals but he definitely does believe i know i woke up without my gucci briefs on 

ewww she aint exquisite? She looks like a 2 dollar tranny! 

well 

I HEARD HIS BOYFRIEND STEVEN "THE FENOOK" BROWN HAD HIM STEAL THE PURSE! 

Kristian Laliberte is NOTORIOUS for stealing samples from PR rooms. He's completely ridiculous and then if you hound him for them he brings them back damaged beyond repair. Take it from someone who knows. 

I have never damaged anything from any PR house. If someone has a problem with any samples, I have yet to hear it. If you have an example, why not just relate it so we can figure out the disconnect. 

This louse robbed my buddy too - showed up at his apt when my friend wasnt there, supposedly visiting some chick he knows that was crashing at my friend's place in the vil. This pee wee herman lookalike stole my boy's tuxedo and bowtie. He got busted when my buddy saw him wearing the gear in a pic on facebook. His lame excuse - I was just borrowing it... Someone need to douse this loser in gasoline and light a match... 

You are all pathetic. Get over it and move on. Paul is an amazing person which is why he is a "socialite" in the first place, and which is why all of you losers "know" him, even though you don't know him at all. and defender of the helpless? your a fucking LOSER. Get a life - and get your story straight. 

Did anyone see what Paul had as his facebook status? He is bashing Jules, when he really did malicious acts. I think, and don't we all agree that Jules was celebrating the flag! Supposedly he is saying she is behind that site juleskirby.com, but we also know no one would be proud of that. Poor girl. 

I saw this douche out the night before last. He makes me cringe!
