"The absolutely best things about the V Halloween party held last night at the Gramercy Park Hotel were..Joaquin Phoenix saying, 'Hi Caroline from PAPER, don’t take my picture cause I’m balding rapidly.' ... Hearing Derek Blasberg somewhat apologize for his very snooty friend Ashley Olson’s refusal to have even one frame shot, whispering, 'She is concerned about her wig being askew!' It is amazing how dictatorial that sweetest of sweet little girls has become ... Waiting till the party was almost over to take a shot of Chloe Sevigny as Joan of Arc after having gotten one hours earlier but had not recognized her." (Paper)

A source inside Hillary's camp supposedly informed the Vogue contingent they'd decided some time ago not to honor the commitment, but Vogue wasn't told until the last minute." (LizSmith)

"With two months to go before the Iowa caucus, everything can change, and probably will, but it is worth speculating on what the impact will be if things don’t change much from now until then ... Huckabee, coming in a strong second, could take off and become the poor man’s Romney, taking advantage of his greater consistency on social issues, his Christian (read: non-Mormon) beliefs, and his support of the Fair Tax as an alternative to the IRS."
