It can’t be for a dearth of gossip, but PageSix.com is calling it quits. We wish we could say the same for its subjects, like rag regular Paris Hilton, whose attempt at humanitarianism looks awfully staged. Of course Paris still has her fans, some of whom go so far as to call her a post-feminist trailblazer. One girl who usually manages to stay on the good side of the tabloids is Lauren Conrad, which could be a very conscious branding move on her part. Like the Olsens before her, the star of “The Hills” has her eyes set on an empire. Another L.A. lady, Tori Spelling, has graciously offered her services to the buzzed-about “90210″ remake. Maybe she thought the producers wouldn’t know how to reach her? In New York, Oscar de la Renta’s right-hand man, Boaz Mazor, was waylaid by elephants on his way home, and claims to have been mistreated by the police. Maybe Mazor should have piled on the bling; a roundup of flashy world leaders makes the case that panache and power go hand in hand. No Chinese bigwigs made the list, but the country continues to be the destination of choice for over-the-top fashion spectacles. Ferragamo is celebrating its 80th anniversary at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Shanghai this weekend , and Yohji Yamamoto will use the Forbidden City as the backdrop for his next collection, giving Karl Lagerfeld’s Great Wall spectacle for Fendi a run for its money—all $10 million (estimated) of it.
