Sometimes you gotta love the New York Observer. 'Why?' you ask. Because their newspaper is an awkward shade of salmon, because their barely legal publisher still gets carded on a regular basis, because you're sneakily addicted to the Transom.
And because just when you thought they've lost a bit of their legendary bite, they go and write an entire article praising Chloe Sevigny, Claire Danes and Parker Posey on becoming has-beens, chiding Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohans for being shoulda-coulda-woulda trainwrecks, and patting boring-but-talented stars Maggie Gyllenhaal and Hilary Swank on the back for being in bed before midnight…and totally redeem themselves!
(Special bonus points for the artwork, as well as the bold hypothesis that Claire Danes ingeniously reinvented herself by stealing Mary-Louise Parker's boyfriend when the Weeds star was 8 months pregnant).
Maybe Jessica Joffe needs to keep a closer watch on her rumored boyfriend Ryan Adams? Roger Friedman over at Fox 411 has (and this may be a first for us) a little blurb that caught our eye this morning. Apparently at the Toronto Film Festival this weekend, quite a few celebs showed face.
Also in the Fairmont but not invited to the Clinton dinner: much of the cast of Christopher Guest’s “For Your Consideration.” We ran into Michael McKeon, Michael Hitchcock and Jennifer Coolidge in the lobby, while Parker Posey was busy checking in with a musician presumed to be Ryan Adams.
As many of you may already know, Parker Posey was Adams' arm candy until the two broke up and Adams went for the nicest, kindest, sweetest, girl who most looked like Parker Posey and worships indy music gods. Even so, we don't actually think this piece of gossip is true — mainly because Ryan was on tour over the weekend.
But obviously Friedman asked around about who dates Parker Posey, and uh, Jessica Joffe's boyfriend is still their answer …
