If you run a boozy weekend brunch, chances are any clientele eligible for the early bird special will cramp your style. Fortunately for the Koch brothers, Mickey Rourke is an exception. The “Wrestler” actor stopped into Day & Night in the garden at Revel, this weekend, still very much the party animal despite his 57 years. Between many a Meatpacking meander with a pretty, young thing, appearances at Fashion Week and time at Merkato; a showing from this young-at-heart is probably just another sign thatDanieland Derek have done it up, right.

[All photos by Getty Images]Jean-Paul Gaultier is definitely going to be on animal rights organization PETA’s naughty list, but the Autumn/Winter Haute Couture collection he presented yesterday in Paris was striking nonetheless. Gaultier’s styles evoked old school glamour and decadence with a touch of edginess, but we expect PETA will complain about his liberal use of fur, leather, and even dyed crocodile skin.

Back in March we ran a piece on actor/clubber Mickey Rourke and how he hooked up a group of his NYC nightlife buddies with parts in The Wrestler. These guys of course are doormen at select Rourke haunts in the city (namely 1 Oak and Cipriani Sundays), and happen to also be budding actors (Though Wass Stevens has definitely gained a lot of traction over the years pre-Wrestler).
We can’t help but find Mickey Rourke lovable. Maybe its because he was such a misfit in the past, or because he still loves to rip it up on the town at 1 Oak and Cipriani Sundays, or perhaps it’s that he has risen from the ashes like a Phoenix. Or maybe it’s because he hooked up his nightlife friends (and NYC resident doormen) with parts in The Wrestler. This isn’t to say these guys wouldn’t have made it on their talent, but it sure doesn’t hurt to get a good referral from Mickey (and he has certainly logged in his time with these guys over the years!)
A quick recap on the doormen, the clubs they work at, and the parts they played: More »
Last night, a very special “Wrestler” stopped by Merkato 55 to wish Sofia Vassalo, the half Portuguese/half Brazilian PR beauty a very special “Happy Birthday!” He was not alone, Sofia had 200 of her closest friends come to party with her friends, the Koch Brothers, at Merkato for a private celebration. Steve, who is as resourceful as he is charismatic, convinced the “Comeback Kid” who was dining downstairs with Sean Penn to join in wishing the Birthday Girl a special Happy Birthday. Around midnight Mickey Rourke moved down to Bijoux and took over the room. The party was still raging around 4 am.
