LADY GAGA HOUSE SHOPPING IN HAMPTONS
Lindsay LohanIs Lilo’s Bust a Boon? Despite the fact that Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel sentenced Lindsay Lohan to 90 days in the slammer retail industry analysts are saying that her arrest may actually help the sales of her fledgling fashion line. Fashion insiders believe that her name splattered on the front pages around the world puts her at the top of public consciousness. The troubled young actress recently did a photo shoot for line, 6216, in the hopes of driving some revenue. This summer the line will expand to include mini-dresses, sequined-hoodies and oversized-cardigans. The line will be available at Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus with prices ranging from $60 - $1,000. Lohan was instrumental in the line's design and marketing plans and is featured in its promotional materials. But the punishment announced by Judge Revel will keep Lohan from promoting "Machete," the Robert Rodriguez action film due in theaters in September. 20th Century Fox, and her rehab sentence will also delay production on "Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story," in which the 24-year-old actress plays the starring role of the famed porn star. Not everyone has turned their back on her – “Inferno” writer/director Matthew Wilder said after the probation ruling that he and his crew remain "100 percent behind Lindsay." and Kerry Wallum, a producer with Lucky Films, said Lohan was in negotiations for a role in the upcoming Willie Nelson movie, "The Dry Gulch Kid," and that the production would wait for her if she wanted the part. "We're behind her," he said. "We'll wait until all of this blows over." Lohan may serve less than her 90-day sentence, thanks to jail overcrowding and a state program that credits inmates for good behavior. Nonviolent female misdemeanor offenders typically serve about 25 percent of their sentences.

Star Jones
Star Jones who was MIA from the Hamptons scene last summer has been making up for lost time and hitting all the trendy restaurants and nightclubs once again. This weekend she was spotted tearing up the dance floor at Georgica in Wainscott until the wee hours with friends and her new beau Herb Wilson On Friday she turned out for Denise Rich’s and her daughter Daniella Rich Kilstock and her husband Richard Kilstock’s “Summer Cocktail Party” to celebrate the work of Rich’s foundation, Gabrielle’s Angel Foundation for Cancer Research, which was created in memory of her daughter Gabrielle. Denise, who is a naturally welcoming host and a lady with a big heart, always shows her guests a good time and good cheer. There was a special performance by Born Again Baldwins, whom I think we can safely say are not to be confused with the theatrical Baldwins. It was a beautiful night for a party out on Flying Point Road in Watermill and everyone was glad to be there with their friend Denise – especially Star.****

Edward AlbeeMark your calendar for Saturday, July 17 when Jack Lenor Larsen’s LongHouse Reserve will host its annual Summer Gala at its 16-acre East Hampton sculpture garden honoring artist Laurie Anderson and LongHouse arts patron Jan Cowles; two women who live outside any traditional boundaries.
The Honorary Chairs of the night include Edward Albee, Dianne B, Dale Chihuly, Lisa de Kooning, Eric Fischl, Rose Lee Goldberg, April Gornik, Angela Mariana Freyre, Michael Katz, Jack Larsen, Dorothy Lichtenstein, Fern Mallis, Maria Pessino, Lou Reed, Bobby Taylor, Edwina von Gal, Robert Wilson and Fern Tessler.
Anderson is one of America's most renowned and daring creative pioneers. She is best known for her multimedia presentations and innovative use of technology. As writer, director, visual artist and vocalist she has created groundbreaking works that span the worlds of art, theater, and experimental music. Cowles, once design editor of the Miami Daily News, soon became wife of Gardner Cowles, the publisher of Look Magazine and president of New York's MoMA. Cowles became active in that city's art circles. With Diana Vreeland, she was founder of the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum and on the Best Dressed List longer than any other. As an active, generous widow, she is also benefactor locally of the Parrish Museum, Dia, and LongHouse. Jan’s son, you might know, is the famed art dealer and collector Charles Cowles.
There are a number of firsts this year. During the evening, all attendees will have the opportunity to sit on a Johnny Swing chaise for a one-of-a-kind digital portrait with the LongHouse conservatory as a backdrop. At the end of the evening, everyone will take home their Excentrica portrait souvenir in black and white.
Delicious and innovative food from all corners of the globe, from Peking duck to local oysters will underscore the theme. The evening will also be filled with Excentrica themed cocktails provided by Stoli Vodka, Frangelico Hazelnut Liqueur, Hendrick's Gin, and Milagro Tequila.
For the first time LongHouse Reserve will offer a "dancing after-dark ticket" for $50 which will be available to young patrons (21 to 35 years old) providing them opportunity to dance by the "Buckminster Fuller Dome." The music will be the unconventional, contagious sounds of the Brooklyn-based bilingual band, Navegante. Young guests will also enjoy cocktails and valet parking starting at 9:45 p.m. The evening's silent auction will feature ethnographic objects from distinguished collection of Edward Albee, Douglas Dawson, and Jack Lenor Larsen among many exciting auction lots. Auction items can be viewed online prior to the event, at www.longhouse.org, including The Swedish Castle Weeklong Gateway and a picnic on the water on Alexandra Munroe's Hinkley Picnic boat.
