Captivating Cojo who has long made flat-ironed hair for men a fashion oui, oui had a wee mishap while partying with those off the hook fashionistas Outkast. Allegedly while attending a party for the hot hip-hop duo, chatty Steven had an unfortunate mishap while sauntering to get poster-sized picture taken of himself. A cocktail in a plastic cup fell from above and consequently dampened his staticky mane and temporarily mussed his expertly made-up face. Naturally, Cojo freaked out...even his early morning colleagues at the Today show have never seen his mug sans pancake. Fellow B-listers Jessica Simpson, Kelly Osbourne, and Sharon Stone heard Cojocaru yelp, "Someone just threw a drink on me! Where's the bathroom?" Luckily a stylist toweled off Mr. Toothy's hair and reapplied a fresh layer of gloss before his close up.

We love a late-starting, air-kissing, cramped fashion show as much as the next ninja-hued editrix however it's the front row gossip that really gets us going. In a week filled with foul attitudes and lots and lots of stockingless gams in 25 degree weather (perhaps that explains the snippy behavior) we have unearthed some down and dirrr-ty dish. Numero Uno: Claire Danes (pictured at rt. w/Vogue's Anna Wintour) left her "so-called manners" at the tent door when she arrived at the Narciso Rodriguez show. When a reporter asked her if she was wearing a Narciso dress her nasty reply was "Ding ding ding, you got it!" and then when a member of the foreign press asked Danes if she knew any Italian Danes sniffed, "Yeah. Ciao!" Quel horror! Also, it's rumored that first daughter Babs Bush wants to start a career in the rag trade. She worked for Lela Rose and Rose raved, "She's such a good worker!"...maybe its 'cos her hooch hangovers are far less frequent than Jenna's. And on the drag queen front, Anna Nicole Smith and Boy George walked the catwalk for Heatherette.
