1. Is Kate Moss back to her old ways? [PageSix]
Time for another trip to rehab?
"Witnesses said Moss showed up late for the YSL bash at Le Trianon on Monday. She appeared unsteady as she sauntered up to the front of the room near the stage, where a rock band performed. "She danced so hard that she had to be helped up several times by security," said a witness. "She went a little crazy." Paris fashion week insiders were still snickering about Moss's boozy behavior days later, after she walked the runway in the Louis Vuitton show smoking a cigarette."

The sister-brother team of Naama and Assaf Tamir have traded in their day jobs at Employees Only and Macao Trading Company in order to open up the new restaurant "Lighthouse". Also joining this venture is Chef Nicholas Cox formerly of La Esquina.
"The space formerly housed "a drug-infused Dominican club," said Naama. "An upstairs neighbor told us the music was so loud her dishes used to rattle. It was a totally illegal operation; we found gas tanks in the basement so they were running the place off of generators. I can't imagine what was going on here."
