It has been a rough year for the Weinstein Company as they near bankruptcy. They recently hired a bankruptcy consultant and are hanging their hopes of financial rescue on the release of the movie Inglorious Basterds later this month. So how bad are things for Harvey?

“Londoners will often describe their city as a collection of villages, each as different from each other as are London’s various social scenes. In Camden, for example, the music scene reigns supreme, whilst a day in Shoreditch is as good as any fashion show. The Hills (Notting and Primrose) are both meccas for yummy mummies, but the former is glossy and groomed, to the latter’s artfully dishevelled reformed rocker. Each village has a leader of course – the public persona that typifies the village in style and personality. Here’s our guide on matching the face to each place.”
Kate Moss
Place: Primrose Hill Neighbours: Sadie Frost, Pearl Lowe, Davinia Taylor, Alice Sykes Origin: The modeling or music world. This girl’s a semi-reformed rocker merging a heady social life with virtuous macrobiotic existence. Style Stakes: Stylist friends rustle up ingenious vintage finds from 80s YSL to original Biba. Arm candy: A guy who can wear skinnier jeans than her – some musical prowess also required. Kate’s current partner in crime is Jamie Hince of The Kills.
ASMALLWORLD has expanded. With a couple new additions to their team, including the always lovely Serena Merriman joining Sabine Heller, they have launched their first edition of “ASMALLMAGAZINE” available online to members only. Within the issue today, there is the article “Remember my name: Top Fame Gamers” in which they take a look at some of the top hundred players from Fame Game (and many writers and contributors on this site) to get the dirt. Here’s what they came up with:
Occupation: Publicist and…well, it’s complicated. Claim to Fame: Tipping off Gawker Low Point: Rumor has it he will star in new reality show Social Heights. High Point: Rumor has it he will star in new reality show Social Heights. Quote: “I want to be New York’s answer to Rachel Zoe.” BFFs: Annabel Vartanian, Devorah Rose, Timo Weiland & the Unruly Heir boyz Origin: Upper middle class, Massachusetts Man Behind the Man: Gawker

Last night, the uptown glamour girls and downtown cool kids came together to sip champagne and check out Leviev’s new jewelry collection at the Leviev boutique on Madison Avenue. NYC’s #1 Bachelorette Jules Kirby and rumored BF Paul Johnson Calderon, Bettina Prentice, event host Annelise Peterson, Ashley Wick, Nina Freudenberger, Guini and Carlos Suarez, actress Maria di Angelis, downtown ‘It’ girl Antonia Thompson and ASMALLWORLD’s Sabine Heller and Serena Merriman, braved the protesters gathered outside to enjoy champagne and warm chocolate shooters while checking out the diamond jewelry collection from the renowned jewelers.
I haven’t been on A Small World in a long time, and got the itch to see what my Euro friends were doing this Sunday. This is what came up when I logged on. I took the suggestion to heart and spent the rest of the day drinking bloody mary’s with friends before moving on to wine at Kingswood where I sat gazing at Whitney Port and her new boy toy (Note: only 20% of my table knew who Whitney Port was which was refreshing, 90% of them knew about the Spandax Sundays party starting downstairs and around the corner at 11:00, also refreshing).
