[The Owl in Question, hanging from Kelly's neck]

From the tipline: Kelly Bensimon is NOT a jewelry designer as this week's Real Housewives of NY would like you to believe.  In fact, that Owl design that she proudly displayed on this week's show are pieces STOLEN from one of our favorite designers, Celeste Greenberg, founder of Tuleste (and an ACTUAL designer).  It gets better: not only are the owl designs NOT Kelly's, she is currently tied up in a lawsuit about the stolen property with Tuleste!

We spoke to Celeste (who is at Coachella), who declined to comment, but we got confirmation that the lawsuit was indeed in progress...

To say Celeste Greenberg's Tuleste Market Collection has taken off is an understatement. The jewelry line is a constant source of social musings. Besides their parties thrown, I have consistently ran into fans of the line out and about.  This Wednesday night, Mr. West glammed things up and played host to a cocktail party in celebration of Tuleste's newest collection as well as the launch of their new website.  The beautiful Sea City Dancers were wearing nothing BUT the pieces, of which were draped across their chests. And, as if this crowd needed help looking any hotter, David X Prutting was there, one of our city's most talented photographers, to capture all of their hottest angles on film.
