SF girls you won't want to miss Daniel Gohstand's upcoming photography show.

CHRISTY N' ED: THE REUNION
The early reports are in...we've heard that Mr. Broken Engagements himself is perhaps back together with his ex, supermodel Christy Turlington. Now, we were just discussing the other day about how any girl would be a fool to become involved with this lethal lothario. We cannot figure out what the appeal is. He's only made one good movie, he's a bit of a meathead, and that wavy mane of his is quickly thinning. After their wedding call-off we thought that Christy had come to her senses, but according to Page 6 it appears that she has re-fallen for the Long Island-raised Burns. We don't think that she was heading back to his abode to take a gander at his redecorating skills...

MINI ME
She may be the luckiest child in the entire universe, that little Lourdes Ciccone Leon. She has a badass mum, a semi-involved dad, an estate in the countryside, scores of paparazzi following her...what more could a 6 year-old ask for?
