Mahmoud Takes Manhattan [Street Scene]

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad came to Midtown this week to tell the United Nations General Assembly about Iran's "peaceful nuclear program" and how much he hates Zionists. His presence caused clashes between protesters and alleged Iranian agents on 48th Street. Ahmadinejad has been in hot water at home over his highly questionable victory in Iran's last Presidential election. A large group of his green garbed opposition gathered across the street from his room on the seventh floor of the Intercontinental hotel.

Tinsley Mortimer Finally Gets in Touch with Reality TV [Answered Prayers]

Expect lots of charity functions, fashion shows, and at least one tense sitting with recent ex-husband Topper. Oh and we will sacrifice Jill Zarin 's first born to the flesh-starved diety of reality television to see a showdown between her and Fabiolo Beracasa. [ Image via Getty ] Published by Original ...
