Exclusive

There we were yesterday afternoon. It was around 5:20pm. We were just trying to mosey our way to the Angelika to catch Ryan Gosling in his underwear (and an awkwardly sexless relationship with his character's student) when, right outside the Prada store in Soho, we spot a crowd gathering a shouting. Luckily we had Jossip HQ's high-budget (read: piece-of-crap) camera with us (which explains the choppy footage), so we're gonna take you for a wild ride of high fashion security cartel. It's a 7-minute ride, baby, so grab your snacks and watch Prada's goons hold down the perp — who allegedly ran out of the store with an $850 jacket, the pricetag of which we only learned because, it turns out, Prada's security are just as interested in showing off luxury goods as its customers. You'll also be treated to the walkie-talkie types telling us to turn the camera off, curse and berate the suspect ("Don't fuckin' move!"), wave around the fashion-mistake-of-a-jacket while they wait for the cops to arrive — and the suspect telling the fuzz that we've got it all on video. In the end, we're just doing our duty to ensure the accused's rights weren't violated by NYPD dropouts — and hoping you'll hang around the site during the entire seven minutes so it makes our advertisers think our readership is "sticky."

Mandy Moore, Dennis Quaid, Susan Sarandon, Marcia Gay Harden, Drew Lachey, and Gretchen Mol were there.

Sarah Jessica Parker was there, bragging about her beach house. Cynthia Nixon was there, too ... though she doesn’t travel much. Even avid jet-setter Lindsay Lohan was there.

The biggest shocker? This was a party for Conde Nast Traveler, the most bland of all the Conde mags.

Celebrity magazines may be over, but Conde Nast Traveler seems to be sailing along just fine. The glossy vacation bible christened the not-yet-open Buddha Bar with their annual Hot List party. The mag bills it’s “Hot List” as the “insiders guide to this year’s hippest hotels, most fabulous restaurants, chicest spas, and hottest bars and clubs around the world”. Bhudda Bar is located in the indispensable-for-the-upscale-traveler meatpacking district. It’s so meta.

Maybe it was for the Bhudda Bar see-and-be-seen. Or could it be that these celebs are all hoping to land covers on other Conde mags? (We just know La Lohan would die for a Vogue spread.)

Speaking of Lindsay, we heard she didn't stay at this B-List party too too long. She posed for the cameras and then quick-changed for her appearance at Prada's "Waist Down - Skirts by Miuccia Prada" party at their SoHo boutique.

Hey, if you can't land Chanel, we guess Prada's the next best shtick!
