HAVE you heard? No no, not that new bistro that shut because the staff walked out when they weren't paid, but we were talking to Jenny, who was on the phone with Mike the night before and he said John had heard from Angel that Kate Moss has split with her beau Pete Doherty. Yes, that Pete, of that cute band and all sorts of bad habits.
We know she shares those traits with him, but does this mean no one will be there to stop him slashing his wrists the next time he has to go to jail? Speaking of doing time, rumor has it that Dionne Warwick's son Damon Elliot has gotten hitched to "Shanghai Baby" Bai Ling. Good luck to him mate, that sort of chick we wouldn't wish on our worse enemy.
We've taken pot shots at Posh Spice before, but surely this is just putting a huge target on her unhealthily skinny frame. Thanks to the innate ability of Simon "American Idol bogeyman" Fuller to turn a buck, North Americans will have to put up with "Victoria Beckham: Coming to America" next week. Why would people want to watch such tripe?
We don't even find her attractive - looks too much like a young boy, we think. We've got to admit that we're pretty excited that Transformers has hit local screens. If we didn't have to go through the hassle of, you know, of actually going to work and bringing you copy you probably couldn't care less about, we'd be in the theater watching the first show.
Sure, we know the film is almost assuredly going to be a let-down, but that Optimus Prime toy we played with as a child was simply the best. Especially to beat the neighbors with - those figures were made of proper metal back in the day. We did enough to earn our keep over the course of the week, starting at Three on the Bund for the MHD Estate and Wines Discovery Tour gala dinner.
With a sumptuous feast prepared by Jean Georges and wines representing the best of the New World, we nearly managed to forget that this was work. That journo passed out on the table after one sip too many was just too funny. More woe the next day as we sipped on more wine, first at the road show proper but also later with Torres China's Alberto and Grace Vineyard wine maker Ken Murchison.
A tasty dinner at Kathleen 5 was paired with Shandong Province's finest drops and Ken's own label, Portree. We were really busy on Saturday. First we got in touch with our cultured side at T8, sipping champagne and viewing local art.
Is it just us or are local painters obsessed with balance? Sometimes you can afford to be far out. Kudos to Eva, Christyane and all involved for an enjoyable outing on a drab afternoon.
It got worse as we crossed the Huangpu to the House of Flour second anniversary do. One of the city's finest bakeries, despite being out in whoop-whoop, Brian, Steven and May's team has done a fine job out in the sticks. Sure, it may be right next to the train station, but that's still too far for us spoilt Puxi lot.
Good job they've opened a concept store beneath Pasti and are looking at other locations in the area too. We then had to brave the rain and pretend to be interested in climate change for the night at the Live Earth concert. London got Madonna, New York got The Police and we got.
.. Sarah Brightman?
Even the heavens tried to drown her out and kill her equipment. Did anyone actually enjoy the show? There has to be someone - if you're reading this tell us at invite@shanghaidaily.
