BUSINESS BUZZ – Parties where pretty fashionable girls can go to meet the i-banker of their dreams. Let’s face it: if you work in fashion, you probably make next to nothing, and certainly not enough to afford all that nice clothes you’re around all the time. Boyfriend in a band or new Louis Vuitton bag? It’s your choice.

MOVIE BUZZ – The rubber room in the NYC public school district is where they send teachers who get in trouble, but not enough to fire them.
