We know you're counting down the days to the official start of Summer 2010...and trust us, we are too. With Memorial Day Weekend comes the kickoff of Hamptons season, those glorious three months of share houses, sand castles, and of course the occasional socialite spotting. We'll be here with you every step of the way, starting with our official 2010 guide for where to play this Memorial Day.  See you around...and here's to a wonderful summer to come! More»

On Memorial Day weekend you'll be able to get a little taste of the beach, or at least beach party vibes (i.e. drinks and bikinis), without fighting the legendary traffic out to Malibu.  No, we're definitely not referring to The Colony -- that would be absurd. We're talking about Beachwood, the new Saturday pop-up party at the old Cabana Club space. More»

• So even if America's Next Top Model won't confirm that Tyra Banks fired Paulina Porizkova, Paulina sure as hell will. That's our girl. Hey, that's what Tyra gets for firing Paulina on her Birthday anyway. [Access Hollywood]

• Smoke, mirrors... and a lawsuit? Magician Criss Angel may be heading to the courts instead of the stage for stealing Jeff Beacher's cat. His defense? "The cat and I have become close friends." Okkk. [NY Post] More»

Note from Editor: Summer is officially here, and, because I have a fear of winter like most kids have a fear of heights, I am pretty much an expert on Summer. I love Summer so much that I have contemplated naming my unborn daughter after it. And, if there's one thing I know about Summer, it's that it's the time to drag out the weekends. Which is exactly what we are going to do... Below, Kerry Cassidy let's us in on all things Nantucket.

Monday was memorial day, one of those holidays I’m not exactly sure what we are celebrating (I just learned cinqo de mayo does not mean tequila day), but I’m all for supporting/remembering our troups (hay hay USA). Memorial day also = everyone has off of work and has fabulous BBQs. Not only did I get to indulge in some sloppy BBQ’d food without spilling it on my white pants (that’s right ladies, Mem day is also the official day to break out those babies), but I was lucky enough to enjoy laughs with friends and family on Nantucket. Nantucket Island, besides its usual fabulosity, was celebrating the annual Figawi race, recognized as the top sailing race in the nation.
