There were certainly no signs of long faces OR dampened spirits at the surprise birthday bash for ‘former’ CBS radio host Sam Phillips, this week.
I arrived at the party with my best friend – actor Craig Young, and to be honest I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from the night as Sam, just days before had received some very bad news regarding work… I’ll explain!

Nicolas Berggruen, is a 46 year-old ‘homeless’ billionaire (or so the story goes) and a familiar figure in New York, Paris, and London society.
Berggruen hosts this particular lavish ‘blowout bash’ annually. He has his own billion-dollar business called Berggruen Holdings and is a son of the late Heinz Berggruen, one of the most successful international art dealers of the 20th century.
So there I was another night at another party, however I was rather looking forward to this one as it was actually tipped to be one of the best in town, but Er… sadly it was not, well, not this year anyway…

It’s Oscar week here in LA and the Brit contingent are out in force, so of course my diary is packed… Hangovers expected!
My week kicked off on Tuesday night when I attended the party for socialite and ‘self-created’ photographer Amanda Eliasch, to promote her new book Cloak & Dagger Butterfly, which she describes as “a piece of work that brings the art of the love letter into the Blackberry age”. Amanda tells me, “It’s collection of emails written at night to or about my illicit lovers which run alongside my own photographs of sexy scantily clad models in provocative or post-coital poses.”

Plans often go awry in Los Angeles so I tend not to make them, I had originally set out to attend the signing of publicist, Howard Bragman’s new book WHERE’S MY FIFTEEN MINUTES – a title which speaks for itself really but I arrived late and when I got there they were already packing up so l said my quick “hellos,” “good lucks” and “goodbyes” to Howard and decided to head over to the ‘Private Shopping Spree’ event at Catherine Malandrino Maison’s store in West Hollywood being hosted by fellow compatriot Lady Victoria Hervey.
