YES! It’s about time there is a tent tiff. Nothing goes hand in hand with bringing together the city’s front row seated than having egos go to bat for a good old fashion spat. Well, a tipster tells us that this lovely type of entertainment just went down at Bryant Park, and of course we had to share the love. Some name drop sparring?

Last night, Josh Madden celebrated another year with friends Matt Levine, Erin Lucas, Christian Siriano and Tim Morehouse at the Hotel on Rivington penthouse. The birthday boy enjoyed manning the turntables, taking a break only to blow out the candles on his cake. He looked very much relaxed and at home on the big day, jumping around in flip flops and maybe even doing a fist pump or two. Brother Benji and his wifey Nicole were nowhere to be seen, but we imagine they had preggers/parent-y stuff to do, over on the other coast. More»

Nick Cannon was there, briefly. America’s Next Top Model’s CariDee English and Jaslene Gonzalez attended. So did Adrienne Bailon of, uhm, The Cheetah Girls.
