We had a feeling that we were gonna read about this sooner or later. You remember those Ross School Concerts last summer that were so unbelievably ridiculously awesome? Remember all the celebs that attended and all of the food and all of the hype which had Prince, Dave Matthews, Billy Joel, Tom Petty and James Taylor rocking out for the well to do? Well guess what? Not too many people shelled out the $15,000 bucks! The well connected Hamptonites worked their magic to get free tickets and celebs weren’t paying for tickets either. What did they think was gonna happen?
The Post has reported that the Ross School concerts last year lost $18 million bucks. The Warner Music Group, owned by Joe Meli, were responsible for the concerts.
They may have lost money on the concerts, but hey, they made one Billy Joel fan very happy. And if you are gonna lose $18 million, might as well party your !@#%!#% butt off!
Watch The Billy Joel Super Fan Below!

Here is a nice little montage we made of the Billy Joel concert at the Ross School in East Hampton last Saturday. I have to say, with David Blaine showing Kelly Rippa a magic trick, Billy Joel sounding awesome and the food and drink galore. This concert really took the cake. As one guy put it, “It was more then amazing.”

They can’t be everywhere at once, which is why the jet set this weekend are going to have to choose between heading out to see Billy Joel at the Ross School, where two tickets cost $6,000, or go have dinner with Hillary and Bill Clinton at Ron Perlman’s house for $9,200.
The camp at Hillary and at Ross have both expressed concerns that one function will be taking away from the other, but getting out money from Hamptons pockets is never easy. You could always listen to Billy Joel on your i-Pod while having dinner with Bill, that might work. However, $9,200 is a little steep for dinner, $6,000 sounds like a bargain to go to a concert.
Saturday isn’t the only Hillary opportunity in the Hamptons to show some Hillary love. According to Bloomberg.com “Tonight she’ll be a guest of Irene and Bernard Schwartz, the former chairman of Loral Space & Communications Inc., who are hosting a $1,000-a-head cocktail party in Southampton. (Amazingly, the senator has a quick daytrip to Chicago on Saturday for two public events, before the Perelman dinner.)”
Flying on to Chicago on Saturday and coming back for dinner in the Hamptons is pretty pimp.
Can’t squeeze in Billy and Hillary into one day? You can catch Hillary Sunday morning in East Hampton then. Venture capitalist Alan Patricof is having a $1,000 pancake breakfast for Clinton. If you shell out 10 Gs, she’ll pose in a photo for you.
Bye the way, if you are a complete slob, with no money to your name, you can always go to that super inexpensive place Nobu to enjoy an all-inclusive $250 Nobu dinner, prepared by Nobu staff at the Ross School on the 17th and 18th with Clinton. Here’s the number for a reservation 212-757-3000.
Only in the Hamptons.

Have you been watching this season of Entourage? It is fantastic!

Usher cancelled his Hamptons wedding at the 11th hour and no one knows why! Everything was all set at L.A. Reid’s Sagaponack home when things hit the fan between Usher and his bride-to-be Tameka Foster. Was it her secret past? Their pre-marital pregnancy? The disapproval of Usher’s family? Or even something more unspeakable? Stay tuned as the town gossips get the scoop…
In the meantime, Super Saturday attracted all the attractive people like Kelly Ripa, Christy Turlington and Mandy Moore. The fastest selling item appears to be Kooba’s “MEREDITH” bag - presumably named after Meredith Grey? Or (doubtfully) Meredith Viera? Most Kooba’s emulate the names/styles of various starlets. Pretty sure I have one named Scarlett, or maybe it’s Elisha? Either way - I adore it. Other “steals” included Vera Wang gowns for $150 and Jill Stuart slip dresses marked down to 80% off. Incidentally, I got nada — just a sunburn and gelato sample.

Soulcycle (264 Butter Lane) is hosting a very exciting ride, just hours before Super Saturday kicks off. It’s at 11:30am, $100/class, and ALL PROCEEDS GO TO OVARIAN CANCER RESEARCH.
Sure, the thought of spinning mid-day, mid-hangover and just before hours of hardcore shopping is not the most enticing idea in the world. However, here are 5 reasons I think everyone should go. Everyone! That. Means. You.
1. Ruth is teaching. Ruth rules. Her fans include Kyra Sedgwick, Katie Couric, Carey Lowell and (I hear) the newly spin-converted Alec Baldwin. There is a good chance one of them will be there. Spinning with the stars is very inspiring – trust me.
2. You’ll feel less guilty spending 500 bucks on new bag if you do something charitable just an hour before.
3. Endorphins ALWAYS do a body good.
4. We’re going to scream on the top of our lungs and dance out of our bike seats!
5. Disgustingly superficial reasons…tax write-offs, calorie-burning and kissing-up to the most powerful peeps out East.
I could go on and on. But I need to buy a sports bra.

This past Saturday Bay Street held their Summer Gala Benefit Bash and it was one of the summer’s most magical evenings. Set to the enchanting theme of “East meets West,” the night took place at Harding Farm on Lumber Lane in Bridgehampton. Not only does this occasion mark Bay Street’s sixteenth year of production, but it was hosted by comedian and actor, Richard Kind from hit shows Mad About You, Spin City and HBO’s hit series produced by Larry David, Curb Your Enthusiasm.
This talented actor brought his dry sense of humor to the Gala just prior to appearing opposite Charles Busch in Bay Street’s production of the hilarious satire of 1940s thrillers, The Lady in Question. It’s fair to say that the Gala will benefit from the plans for this production as well as its production of Turandot: The Rumble for the Ring - a new rock opera, jam-packed with some of the most talented arias in opera set to a rock beat, in other words, one-of-a-kind - which will be playing through August 5.
In true Bay Street style the silent and live “fantasy” auction included exciting packages such as a Princess Tea Party with Julie Andrews, dinner for 4 at Rao’s, a fantasy golf package, a luxury vacation in Mexico including airfare, a custom Italian kitchen, house seats for the opening of Mel Brook’s Broadway show Young Frankenstein, fabulous works of art by world acclaimed East Hampton artist Randy Rosenthal, jewelry, memorabilia, sports packages and much more. Not to mention a kayak trip with Alec Baldwin.
It was certainly a night to remember and many celebrities were spotted including B. Smith and Dan Gasby, and Emma Walton Hamilton among others. Not only an elegant affair but an event where all the proceeds help to keep their programs strong and supported.

After the party for the Humane Society of America at Grey Gardens in East Hampton last Sunday, my editor, David Lion, was left in complete shell shock. It wasn’t until Tuesday that he realized he had been conversing with President Bush’s niece Ashley Bush at the party. Of course the focus of the evening was on the important issue at hand, animals. I’m sure it was refreshing to know that so many important people care about such an important cause. However, after David’s Bush revelation, I couldn’t help but think that the Bush girls were an awful way from home and could be anywhere else in the world. Just goes to show the powerful draw of the Hamptons across the country, and even the world. Who wouldn’t want to be here?
