Los Angeles-based novelist and screenwriter Gigi Levangie Grazer was a sight to behold last night as she welcomed guests to her book party for “Queen Takes King” at Mr. Chow Tribeca.
Last night, the city was a buzz with parties (St.Jude’s Gala, Cartier 100th, movie premieres and more), and eye candy galore. However, the party of the week belongs to the Griffin opening night. Kate Hudson and Sting were just some of the big names to grace the newly opened club which we have had our eyes on all month.

When designer, socialite and new mom Minnie Mortimer designs clothes, she designs for herself. “I design things that I want to wear; I don’t think about other people. I’m that selfish,” Minnie shared. She’s a tall, leggy and striking girl about town who creates a practical wardrobe of staples which fit well and look good so that others can buy them; that doesn’t seem so selfish. In fact, there are a lot of people out there that want to be wearing what Minnie is wearing.
For anyone that has spotted Olivia Palermo out and about recently, it has become very clear that she has traded up. Thank god too, this is just the hot couple we like looking up to. Her new beau is none other than the German Wilhelmina model Johannes Huebl (as we mentioned we spotted last night). As you can clearly see, she has traded up from Brad Leinhardt. Wonder if she’s still as big of fan of Izzy Gold now? What’s really funny is that Johannes is the same German model that was in that little video promoting Ms. Peterson’s book “The Manny” remember? You know the one with rival socialite Tinsley?? (see below)
