The Sunday Funnies: Puck You Miss

11.26.2008 TAO 8th Anniversary

Jeremy Piven (Evanston Township -IL H.S. '83) celebrated a milestone this week. Not thanksgiving, or his Bat Mitzvah (pictured).

Our NYC reporter Carter, spotted him at the TAO 8th Anniversary Party the night before Thanksgiving (Wed 26 Nov).

Wait, didn't Piven also fly all the way to the Vegas outlet's 1st anniversary party? And go back again for the 2nd anniversary? Truly half man, half mascot.

Although it was only the night before Thanksgiving, you are excused for thinking it was Christmas Eve with an exclusively jewish celebrity turnout at the perennial NYC hotspot - New overlord(lady) of ballroom dancing Brooke Burke (Palo Verde H.S. - AZ '89, UCLA '93, Wild On '99) and Marcus Schenkenberg (Calvin Klein '90s, Pam Anderson '98) helped make the minion.

We'd post the photos of the Manishevitz Sake Bombs , but Carter has not woken up from the food coma yet. So here's a the ownership group laughing over a cake in a photo that Santa brought us as a gift from someone else's site the North Pole.

A Case Study in the Paparazzi Industrial Complex - Secrets of the Heidi and Spencer Elopement

Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag ran in to a problem on the way to scoring the biggest photo payday of their lives....

They could have harvested a year long fortune leading up to a planned wedding - bachelor/bachlerette parties,showers, and an assembly line of photography partnerships to document finance each step of the publicized march to the altar. But The Hills producers and MTV would would have been a big problem-- they wanted to milk the story themselves - like Star Jones did, or Melrose Place, - and in the process drain all the value from their incremental paparazzi paydays.

So they HAD to elope. The show neatly acquits itself from not getting to make it a central story line ("we didnt know! See, the show is real") Mr. and Mrs. Montag get all their money up front...and they win the 2008 Battle for the US Weekly cover during a slow news week.

Winners: Pratts
Losers: The Hills

Oh, the scenes that could have been written ...
Did they just want to avoid the televised embarrassment two empty bridal parties? Would Bolthouse do the reception? Would Stephanie design her dress? Would Lauren casually be tanning at the same resort pool during the wedding? Would the photos end up in Teen Vogue?

P.S. While Mexican marriages are celebrated in US (the magazine) they are not recognized by the US (the country) so count on them to Pam Anderson it.

Live on Scene: YRB Magazine Party @ Smashbox

YRB Magazine gets Khloe Kardashian to play public ping pong.....and more items from guest party snitch Leigh at Smashbox Studios last night. (Thur 20 Nov)

For the avoidance of doubt, this is a different "that black guy".

"Biggest Celeb there was Khloe Kardashian. I didn't see her but [Redacted] told me. Michelle Pesce DJ'ed. She's awesome. Also saw the Miz (Miami Univ '02, WWE Wrestling Champion '07) some idol reject, and the same black guy who gave me his card at aHaylie Duff event last week and said 'google me'. "

Is it a waste of time to report that the famous for one day Miss USA who got booed by the Mexican audience at the Miss Universe pageant and then fell on her ass as an encore was there? She was. Rachel Smith (Crazy Christians' Belmont Univ '02, Miss USA '07).

You also probably didn't know that YRB = Yellow Rat Bastard

High Fives to Kelly K., for taking care of us.
