Ah yes, The Harriman Cup. One last chance for pretty pastel clad wasps to get drunk around a polo field in hopes of finding Mr. or Mrs. Right. (or at least "right" now). This weekend the 27th annual Harriman Cup was held Meadowbrook Polo Club in Old Westbury, Long Island and it's more than a stomping ground for horses. It's THE place to check out quintessential prep style. Let's take a look at the best dressed from this year's cup.

James Franco continues to get all artsy with his new multi-media presentation "Collage," a play about James Franco producing a play. Those who didn't just gag a bit with Franco-fatigue (are probably stoned, because whooooaaaw man, a play with in a play, whooaw), will have their chance to see it. Originally set to be performed at Yale, he's bringing it to NYU. Why the Ivy League snub? More»

To make up for last week (I was sick and didn't do one, did you notice? You did?! You're sweet) I am going to do my best ever art round up. Maybe even the best art round up the world has ever seen! Or, you know, just a really good one. More»

Today I take a break on Page Six and go on a rant against Gawker and my issue with their lack of accountability. Then I show you some cool toilet fish tanks. Ready?

1. Guess which NYC Media company this quote is referencing:

"The question, then, is whether it's even worth criticizing a website that, through an unapologetic commitment to sensationalism, has made itself nearly impervious to criticism."

It's Gawker.com (of course), and writer Ryan Kearney did a great post today on how the website sometimes does go too far, and how sometimes, even the detached medium of the internet can't serve as an excuse. More»

James Franco arrived half an hour past the screening time of his new movie 127 Hours, in which he plays a mountain climber who fights to survive after a boulder falls on his arm and traps him. It seemed the actor-cum-Renaissance man was trapped in is own right, with his tardy appearance at Gucci-sponsored Chelsea Clearview Cinema event. More»

Of all the problems one can have, choosing between Harvard, Princeton and Yale elicits scant sympathy. You'd think the choice would be easier if your name was Yale Fan. But Yale W. Fan dissed his New Haven (sorta) namesake and will be setting up a futon in Harvard Yard come September. More»

Oh, James Franco. You just love to puzzle your adoring public, don't you? You make a string of hit movies, then move to NYC to study at Columbia and NYU. You star on General Hospital for the purpose of... performance art. And now you're a published author. More»

Tuition and fees at Harvard will top $50,000 for the first time next year. Always eager to best its "Big Three" rivals Princeton and Yale, Harvard has come out on top once again. Too bad Boston U, Scripps and Connecticut College rank above Harvard in the ripoff department. More»
