This Week's Gossip
This week's column will be dedicated to our wonderful New York City, then, now and forever!
Last Sunday, Memorial Day weekend, was spent running early in the morning with my closest and most dependable friend, Rachel Tatellio. There were a lot of college students out there in Central Park, some running, some walking and some just enjoying the Spring sunshine.
Jesse Miller running with Angel Jones, Richard Stewart walking with Janette Friday, Barry Watters walking with Tiffany Farina, Ryan Morrison walking with Rachel Adams, Jack Dawson sitting with Eve Everson and last but not least, a group holding a picnic that included, Sean Drumound, Aaron Johnson, Nyssa Summers, Melody James, Kristin Jameson, Anna Delvante, Anthony Martinez and newcomer, Audrey Tatellio. Eddie Woods was there, camera in hand, taking photographs.
I enjoyed a short brunch with Rachel, then headed over to Diego's to catch the end of the Indy 500. Diego confirmed that Barry Watters, Tiffany's new guy, would start work helping with the books on the Bayway Conoco Phillips Refinery Upgrade project for Adam Kaufman. I'm not sure whether Diego knew that Tiff had been seen with Pierre LaFonte two weeks ago in Mahoney's Irish Pub.
I finally met up with super model, Ana Demetrius, at Bobby's studio. She was posing for photos that she hopes will wind up on the cover of either Vogue or InStyle magazines. She is one tall drink of water when you wind up standing beside her. She acted as if she was the one in charge, which has never been easy for me in Bobby's case. I wonder how my best friend, Miss Bossy, deals with him. Maybe the June issue of InStyle will answer that question.
Bobby is waiting for Angel Jones to return with a signed copy of the contract he gave her. I understand she has already met with Diane Neal, an attorney that Bobby suggested Angel utilize.
The renovation of the Plaza Hotel is in full swing. My penthouse suite was completed over a year ago when I decided, with Diego's help, to bite the expensive bullet and buy the suite. I like the location as so many important people stay here. Plus the Palm Court reserves my window side table for me.
I spent an evening with Doni Kline this week. He's invited me to attend the U. S. Open with him June 15th through the 18th. I'll probably only go up there one day. That way he can take his new flame, Eva Macy, too. A little bit of Doni goes a long way.
Rachel played Grace again in this weeks play. The adlibs were pretty funny and Tina, a friend of Rachel's from the past, was in the audience again. One sexy female. Rach says that Tray is back and he'll play Mr. Green in next week's Friends play.
Felix "The Cat" Rogers popped up again in the Four Seasons this week. I'm never quite sure what lurks in that guy's mind, but I got a chance to find out when I saw him at one of the Four Season Club's tables when I walked in there Saturday afternoon. I ordered a glass of wine, then boldly waltzed over and plopped down at his table.
We chatted for a bit, but he said if I want more info for my gossip column I'd have to agree to have dinner with him that night. Since I had no real plans, I agreed. We met at the Four around nine o'clock Saturday night and grabbed one of the more private booths.
Turned out not to be as private as I thought since Tiffany Farina soon took the adjoining booth while she waited for her date, Barry Watters. I introduced Felix and he promptly hit on her too, getting her to agree to show him around the Columbia University campus Sunday. Felix has signed up there for his masters degree in technology after graduating from Boston College.
I quickly learned that he's only 23 years old, but they don't make them too young for me, especially when they seem quite experienced in the seduction game. It was fun to watch Richard Stewart leave the bar to join Nyssa Summers on the dance floor. Nyssa is Scarlet Summers younger sister and hopes to follow Scarlet's rising career as a New York City model. With Bobby Campbell already working on her portfolio, I'm sure we'll be seeing her in major magazines, and maybe as Richard's new flame.
Since Felix has taken a room at the Plaza Hotel, I invited him to share a taxi back there after a nice informative dinner. I was quite surprised when he had the valet bring around a little sports car instead. His quote was, "Hang on to your panties, sweet cheeks," as he gunned the engine and burned rubber as we took off. Needless to say it was one short ride to the nearby Plaza Hotel.
I invited him up to my place for a nightcap and he agreed with one of those knowing smiles. I asked him to make the drinks and light the fireplace while I quickly finished up this column so I could fax it off to the Times.
Entertainment
This Wednesday night, June 7th at 10:00 pm ET, the Off-Broadway Creative Arts Theatre will be offering Rachel Tatellio's version of Friends - Two Parties. It should be fun and I will be sitting in my center seat in the back row watching to see who might show up and who sits with whom.
