Check out what the good people at Bridgehampton National Bank are doing. Get involved and stop in at a Bridgehampton National Bank and donate some food for the needy. Christmiska is coming!
I just learned that with inspiration from the East Hampton Food Pantry “Buy an Apple” program, The Bridgehampton National Bank has kicked off a bank-wide effort to raise funds and food for local pantries through its 15 branches in Eastern Suffolk County. During the months of November and December customers, friends and community members can stop into any BNB branch and support the program by buying a green paper apple for $2 or red paper apple for $5. The apples will be displayed in the branches with the names of those making the donation. Bridgehampton National Bank will match donations up to a total of $5,000. Branches are also collecting food staples. A list of groceries most in demand is available at www.bridgenb.com.

Well it’s official now, Tom Cruise was seen jogging on the North Fork. Maverick was piloting his legs through the Orient with his bodyguard, I still can’t believe it! Very exciting news for the North Fork, which is traditionally the sleepy (but pretty) part of the East End. Cruise’s bodyguard was riding his bicycle next to him while running (cool job) and many noticed as fans waved and Tom waved back.
I received this information from a credible source! It’s true! Tom Cruise on the North Fork! Yahhhhoooo. Total ego boost for Wine Country.
Apparently Katie Holmes. is filming a movie in Southold and Tom came for a visit, although I haven’t heard anything about her being out. The movie, called the Romantics, also is starring, Adam Brody, Elijah Wood, Josh Duhamel and Anna Paquin. We haven’t heard yet if they have been lighting up the town or going on wine tours on the North Fork but we hope that they are. The North Fork always needs the extra biz.

It don’t get more annoyingly rich than this!
A man driving his Bugatti, (you know, the car that sells for $1.25 million) got distracted by a pelican. YES A PELICAN, and drove his car directly into a lake.
The man was looking at properties in Texas.
What a dumbass.
Click here to watch the video Dan’s Papers made when Bugatti came to the Hamptons last summer.

Andy Warhol’s artwork known as “200 One Dollar Bills” sold in New York City for $43.8 million dollars. The presale estimate of 8 million was surpassed to the surprise of many, described by Terry Ross, who sells are for Spanierman Art Gallery and attended the auction, “Was one of the craziest auctions I’ve ever seen.”
The sale of this work is the second highest sale for the deceased artist. In 2007, the 1963 painting, “Green Car Crash” sold for 71.7 million dollars.
Is art a good investment right now?

According to affordable housing advocate Barbara Jordan, an estimated 500 people are seeking shelter from the cold on the East End of Long Island.
But help is coming.
East Hampton’s United Methodist Church will start housing guests every Friday night starting November 6 as a homeless shelter and will continue housing them through March. Sag Harbor’s Christ Episcopal Church and Addas Israel along with other non-religious and religious organizations are getting involved, as well as a huge outpouring from the community.
This is the first time that I”ve heard of East Hampton providing an actual shelter. In the past homeless people were driven to outside shelters in Riverhead, however, because many of the homeless living here are actually “working homeless” people, help is being provided. These are people who are not choosing to be homeless, but people who are working but can’t afford a bed.

Quite possibly everything that is wrong with America can be summed up with how the characters act in the MTV reality television show “The City.”
I only bring this up because I just got an e-mail that a recent episode of the show was about “The Hamptons.”
Many city tourists that come out to the Hamptons wonder why locals can’t stand them. Locals come up with names like, citiot, summer people, moron, *$$hole, etc… and certain city people think to themselves, “Why would anybody say that about me? I’m wonderful.”
Well, if there is anything good about the recent episode of “The City” it is a picture perfect, scientific example of what it means to be a “Citiot.”
If you’re from the city and reading this please start taking notes and watch this episode and then make it a point to act the exact opposite of how these people act while spending a weekend out here.
And while I’m on this subject, New York Magazines portrayal of what to do and not to do while out in “The Hamptons” is embarassing. I really am just stupified that New York Magazine stooped down to the same level as “The City.” I’m not kidding you, this is an exerpt from the New York Magazine article which explains “what to do and not to do in the Hamptons.”
Lesson 6: Facial hair.
Don’t: Grow a goatee if you can’t. Harry has a horrible start to a goatee on his chin. It looks like he rubbed oil around his mouth and then dipped his face in instant coffee.
Do: Experiment with stubble if Attracting Whitney Port is on your list of things to do. Naturally Whitney, who dated Jay the Barbarian, is drawn to Harry Coffeeface.
Just shoot me directly in the face, please.

Or has it just begun?
WILKINSON WINS EAST HAMPTON, HOLST WINS SOUTHAMPTON
East Hampton changes the tide and turns Republican. Southampton changes the tides and turns Democrat.
