Ashanti, Reshma Shetty, and Judy Garland’s daughter Lorna Luft all gathered at Tavern On The Green (RIP) for the 2009 Emerald Gala, in celebration of the 70th anniversary of The Wizard of Oz. They even wheeled out some munchkins for the occasion! I’m sure, btw, that these 90 year olds were thrilled to be forced to pose with giant lollipops. More»

Last night we sampled the banquet that is New York nightlife, and we ate so much we nearly puked. We started the night at the Children’s Rights Foundation’s Annual Event.
