Yesterday, Patrick Dempsey, Fergie, Reese Witherspoon, Lauren Conrad, Courteney Cox and Suze Orman attended the Avon Foundation’s “Champions Who Change Women’s Lives” celebration at Cipriani 42nd Street. The annual event, now in its ninth year, recognizes honorees assisting efforts to end breast cancer and domestic violence.
Looks like Freddie Fackelmayer’s past of selling fake IDs isn’t the worst thing Whitney Port has to worry about. When the new boy-about-reality-town was cast to play Port’s current heartthrob on “The City” (yes, we said “cast”), he apparently had a girlfriend at the time: recent graduate Hannah Grace Miles. The two met last Spring through mutual friends, and Freddie was immediately smitten with the pretty brunette, says sources. So smitten, in fact, that he was introducing her to his parents and taking her on trips at record speed. But that didn’t stop him from dropping the 2009 grad when finding out producers picked him to next woo Port on national television. Especially when his current girlfriend had NO idea Fackelmayer had even “auditioned” for the part.
Things in New York work a certain way for the young and beautiful: Move to Manhattan post college and find friends old and new who admire your wind swept hair and enviable chest. Get a cush job in a perk laden industry. And then you meet the girl of your MTV casting dreams and get introduced mid-season onto a successful reality show. This formula seems to be working pretty well for Whitney Port’s newest central casting heart throb, Freddie Fackelmayer, on The City… More »
Lauren Conrad got a lot of flak for the high prices of her first clothing line. Well, now the former-star of The Hills has swapped Bloomingdales for Kohls, and just launched a newer, more affordable line. The prices range from $20-$60, and the clothes range from definitely fugly to possibly cute. Lo Bosworth was there to support her budding designer friend, as were both Whitney Port and Roxy Olin, who must have flown out from New York for the occasion. Do we sense a crossover episode of The City and The Hills? More »

Whitney’s back, y’all! And last night, Seventeen Magazine threw a party to celebrate.

Even though they dress like they’re 30. But whatevs. Also there to celebrate the return of The City was Roxy Olin, aka The New Erin Lucas. More pictures below… More »
[All photos by CLINT SPAULDING for PMc]. Fashion is in the air, speeding our recovery from the end of summer slump. Last night, Longchamp and Elle hosted a performance by pianist Eldar at the uptown store to benefit the Kipton Art Foundation. The charity namesake was there with Olivia Palermo, Kelly Cutrone, Anisha Lakhani, Kimberly Guilfoyle Villency, Anne Slowey, Chessy Wilson, Zev Eisenberg, Scott Buccheit, Robert Fowler, Whitney Port, Minnie Mortimer, Stephen Gaghan and Maggie Rizer; a group who will maintain very busy schedules over the next two weeks as tent time arrives in Bryant Park. The guests relaxed with the contemporary jazz tracks, a glimpse of the musician’s recently released “Virtue” album.

Whitney Port manned the operations booth with her “boss” Kelly Cultrone (of People’s Revolution) at the Mara Hoffman 2010 swim show at the Mercedes-Benz event in Miami. The people they were trying to impress? The Real Housewives of NJ of course…. More »
