• We're confused. Richard Kimball Jr. works in finance AND he just got out of a divorce settlement? How does he have 2.5 mill for a summer rental? We're more concerned about that than the topless parties he's been throwing. [NYP]

• Someone told us Jon Bon Jovi was performing at Stephen Talkhouse on Friday. We didn't believe them. We didn't go. Please feel free to mock us for the rest of our lives. [Blog Hamptons]

Sophia Bastian is bringing her band to Amagansett tonight for a live performance at Stephen Talkhouse and to say we're excited is an understatement. We've only known about the bluesy singer for a short period of time and have been unable to turn off her music in the GofGHamptons office since. Her voice is a vintage-like blend of Etta James, Amy Winehouse, and Adele blended with smooth reggae beats for the perfect combination of soul and classic hip-hop worth checking out. In the Hamptons tonight? Head to Stephen Talkhouse at 8pm for this not-to-be-missed live performance.

You probably remember the Introduction to Justin Ross Lee we did a couple of weeks ago right here. How could you forget? Between his "Jew-jetting", bottle-popping, and love of over the top antics it's hard to push out of your mind... or the comments off our site. So we checked in with JRL to see what he was up to the other day via a brief message on Facebook (his choice medium). To our surprise, Justin was ready and willing to provide GofG with more information about himself - even things we never asked for. Including this one-on-one interview he conducted with himself, and sent to our editor. So in case the intro to JRL wasn't enough to get a full picture of exactly what this character is all about, sit back and enjoy him answering these questions.... that he asked himself including things like which hamptons nightclub has a door entrance that is big enough for his head.
