The City of Angels is blowing up with anything but: party people abound, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Steve Aoki and 90210’s Tristan Wilds hit up the Dim Mak concert, Lindsay Lohan brought her corset clad bod to the Nu Pop Movement at Kitson, Stephanie Pratt and Lo Bosworth opened new lingerie store Undrest, as did the star of The Hills New York counterpart, Whitney Port. That’s just the beginning. Superheroes are walking the streets (and occasionally, socking people), and super star celebs are working the art scene. More»

[Nevan Donahue, Making "Sloppy Snob" the new "Stylish"]

We’ve been getting tips about Nevan Donahue, Olivia Palermo’s cousin and former flame of Jules Kirby, ever since “The City” premiered on MTV and he made his grand reality television debut.  Everything from prostitution soliciting charges, warrants out for his arrest for probation violations, a love of riding the “White Horse”, and even spitting in subways! (OH THE HORROR!)  So?  Verdict?

Nevan may be a slobby snob, but at least he’s not a greasy bear (aka Davis).  He might (cough) just slowly be winning his way into our hearts and becoming fameball material.  For one, he’s bff with Brad Leinhardt, Cousin Olivia’s former flame and the man who created says he created Izzy Gold.  Then there’s the Jules Kirby connection. He dated her before she left us the first time around for greener pastures. Add in his unique style to all of the other webs he has spinning in this city, or beds he’s been living in, we have a perfect character to set our GofG radar on! He’s like our very own answer to the West Coast’s  Brandon Davis, except with hotter girls, less hair product, and no pleather jacket.

Yesterday, in a quest to do whatever it took to rid myself of the late summer cold I had developed, I headed over to the East Village’s authentic Russian Turkish Baths on 10th street.  A true first timer, this experience proved to be just that: an experience.  And so, I sat among the eclectic crew in the Russian room, watching as another bather chose to partake in a Platza (having a specialist scrub you, clean you, whisk you, and eventually beat you with a broom made of fresh oak leaves drenched in olive oil soap), listening to the older men speak of their vineyards in Italy, and, eventually, having no hesitation whilst drowning my head full of cool water at the bucket station.

Whether you are a famous model looking to shed some water weight, a celebrity like Brandon Davis (who was surprisingly there last night with his entourage!), wishing to escape reality, hungover or sick, or just in the mood for some warm socializing, the baths, which have been around for centuries, and on 10th street for over 100 years, are a tradition worth keeping.  Don’t want to take my word for it?  Check out their extensive famous guest visitors below:

Today’s Fame Game Matchup is between two notorious bad boys.  We spotted both out east this weekend and questioned yesterday who was the “baddest” of the two.  Looks like, statistically speaking, Fame Game has NY’s own Fabian Basabe in the lead with more parties, news mentions, and people connections.  Problem is, Fame Game isn’t exactly out in L.A. yet, which makes this matchup a little biased as we all know Brandon has been out with the Hilton sisters alone more than 38 times this year.

Christopher Tennant’s new book “The Official Filthy Rich Handbook” is out and one of our good friends, Gregory Littley scored a page in it!  He is the official WASTREL walking around town wondering what day it is. I think he did a fine job pulling off the Brandon Davis, Starvos Niarchos look.  The book party was held last night at Terry Allen Kramer and Nick Simunek’s penthouse apartment on East 69th Street
