BLONDIE INDUCTED TO R&R HALL OF FAME

And guess who was there with her trusty li'l ol' camera! I was thrilled to be asked to dj. Debbie's a friend, but long before I ever met her, I was a huge fan of Blondie's music. (PS: There's a new greatest hits coming out soon!) But despite the great music, Debbie's a fashion icon. Sure, she was blessed with an extraordinarily gorgeous face--a cat-like cross between Michelle Pfeiffer and Marilyn Monroe which embodies New Wave glamor--but from the hair to the clothes, she has a great personal style. The most gorgeous woman in rock, EVER! And she wrote/co-wrote most of her tunes!

RON JEREMY BEING INTERVIEWED BY VH1


You gotta hand it to ol' Ron--he gets around! I love the way that he's parlayed his porn career into PG celebrity status. I mean, he was never that handsome in the 70's and he hasn't made a porno flick in years. I guess his dick is still big, and in some people's book (including mine!), that amounts to something. More power to him. Seems like a real sweetheart every time I've bumped into him.

FAB 5 FREDDIE (RIGHT) W/FRIEND


If you'll recall, Freddy was name-checked by Debbie in RAPTURE, the top 40 rap hit. Here'a few of that insane song's lyrics:

Fab 5 Freddie told me everybody's high
DJ's spinnin' are savin' my mind
Flash is fast, Flash is cool
Francois sez fas, Flashe' no do
And you don't stop, sure shot
Go out to the parking lot
And you get in your car and you drive real far
And you drive all night and then you see a light
And it comes right down and lands on the ground
And out comes a man from Mars
And you try to run but he's got a gun
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
And then you're in the man from Mars
You go out at night, eatin' cars
You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too
Mercurys and Subarus
And you don't stop, you keep on eatin' cars
Then, when there's no more cars
You go out at night and eat up bars where the people meet
Face to face, dance cheek to cheek
One to one, man to man
Dance toe to toe
Don't move to slow, 'cause the man from Mars
Is through with cars, he's eatin' bars
Yeah, wall to wall, door to door, hall to hall
He's gonna eat 'em all
Rapture, be pure
Take a tour, through the sewer
Don't strain your brain, paint a train
You'll be singin' in the rain
I said don't stop, do punk rock

ME WITH ONE OF MY IDOLS, UBER-PRODUCER, SONGWRITER AND FRONTMAN OF CHIC, NILE RODGERS


I was delighted that Nile was so friendly, and he even asked for my number so that I coul email some of the pix! (He hasn't called yet.) For you young'uns who never tore up a dancefloor to Chic disco-era hits like LE FREAK, EVERYBODY DANCE, MY FORBIDDEN LOVER, I WANT YOUR LOVE, DANCE, DANCE, DANCE or the hits Chic produced for other artists including Sister Sledge's WE ARE FAMILY and Diana Ross's UPSIDE DOWN and I'M COMING OUT, you may be more familiar with the many hip-hop artists who've have sampled his work. Not only did Chic's GOOD TIMES form the background for RAPPER'S DELIGHT, but I'M COMING OUT became the basis of Notorious P.I.G.'s MO MONEY, MO PROBLEMS, CHIC CHEER is the groove behind Faith Evans' stomper LOVE LIKE THIS and Sister Sledge's HE'S THE GREATEST DANCER became Will Smith's GETTIN' JIGGY WITH IT. I wish Nile would call me, cuz I'd love to gush to him over his amazing talents. How incredible that there's so much musicality in ONE measure of one of his tunes that samplers can base an entire new song on the one 2 bar phrase. I'd also love to know what he who created the ultra-sophisticated grooves which incorporated the bumping live basslines of Bernard Edwards thinks of today's infantile r&b, which barely has a chord progression, much less a key change. Like the awful smash YEAH by Usher. But here a go again--using a fun-filled bash as an excuse to add a bitter rant!

MARC'S COMPANION JASON PRESTON, WHO JUST GOT A DESIGNER TATTOO


Jason used to hustle on rentboy.com, so rumors are flying every time Mark appars with the guy. The NY Post ran this item on Saturday:

"Talk about corporate branding.

Marc Jacobs' "rent boy" sidekick, Jason Preston, just got the fashion designer's company logo tattooed along the length of his forearm.

Preston, 25, who previously had "MJ" shaved into the side of his head, showed off the alarming new inkage Thursday night at the Stephen Weiss Gallery, where Jacobs hosted a celeb-studded party for Debbie Harry, who's being inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame with her band Blondie.

Preston, who used to work as a $225-per-hour escort on gay site rentboy.com, is said to have quit the flesh-peddling gig and now lists his job on his friendster.com profile as "personal assistant."

But when we contacted a spokeswoman for Jacobs and asked if Preston's tattoo was job-related, she said Preston was not employed by the company. "I think he's just a friend of Marc's," she said.

By yesterday morning, Preston, who is also known as Jason Gore, had already posted a photo on friendster of himself, Jacobs and Lindsay Lohan mugging for the cameras at the Blondie bash. Under "schools," Preston wrote, "College of the Hardknocks!!!"

And under "companies," Preston penned this somewhat disturbing statement: "I know you see me now, trying hard not to stare, acting like I wasn't there to you, can you see me now, am I clear to ya, On the red carpet in MARC JACOBS CLOTHES."

Jacobs and Preston may have been the kookiest couple at the bash, but there were plenty of notable names who turned out to support Harry.

Director John Waters, actress Gina Gershon, Sonic Youth rocker Kim Gordon, B-52 Fred Schneider, writer Fran Lebowitz, rock spawn Kelly Osbourne, "Project Runway" winner Jay McCarroll, rap eminence Fab 5 Freddy, roly-poly porn legend Ron Jeremy, drag queen Lady Bunny, Heatherette designer Richie Rich, art gallerist Gavin Browne and foxy painter Hope Atherton were just some of the faces in the hipper-than-thou crowd.

While Jacobs and Preston left early to hit the "Distortion Disko" dance party at Duvet, Harry was having so much fun that she was literally the last celebrity to leave her own party. "When it emptied out, she asked the deejay to play 'Rapture' and broke out some hot moves on the dance floor," reports one straggler."

DEBBIE BOOGIES DOWN


Although I'm happy to appear on Page Six, the Post got a couple of things wrong here. I was the last dj on, and while Debbie was cutting the rug late in the evening, she did not request RAPTURE. She requested Earth, Wind and Fire if you must know. I didn't have any EWF with me, but she boogied down to RAPPER'S DELIGHT. Just to goof her, whenever she seemed to be really enjoying herself on the floor, I would yank the music off for a second to gag her as she looked up in shock. TWICE! Tee hee!

DEBBIE ASKS "DID THAT HATEFUL BUNNY TURN OF THE MUSIC AGAIN?"


DEBBIE VOMITS WHEN I PLAYED MADONNA WITH MY CHIC FRIEND MERIKO FROM LONDON IN THE FOREGROUND WITH DATE


But back Marc's hustler. Maybe Marc is paying the guy. Anything wrong with that? It's the world's oldest profession and I daresay Marc can afford it and no one's getting hurt. Well, Jason's cock is 9 inches and thick so maybe Marc's getting hurt a little bit if he's a bottom. But do hustlers normally get their johns' names tattooed on them? Of course not. I'll bet the sweet kid's in love with Marc--Marc IS a complete sweetheart. And as uptown as his fashions are, Marc seems to revel in hanging with the kooks, from jailed rapper L'il Kim to a certain downtown transsexual performer whose breast implants Marc supposedly bought. And I doubt if Marc was even sleeping with HER!

Hello Bunny! Been a Lurker for a bit but just wanted to say thanks for the lovely pics you put up. I LOVE Debbie to DEATH and wish the Blondie's the best! Thanks for being a Hot Gal yourself! - Victor Atomic (Wish I would of said Hello to you when I saw you shopping at WEHO Pride)

I love you, Lady Bunny. You've entertained me for years (though I won't say how many!), and you've given me a giggle today with your coverage of the Blondie bash. But let me just say that you were the first person I ever heard sing the great Bobbie Gentry song "Fancy," and you were riveting. You made me *hear* the song on the first listen. Of course I heard Reba's version sometime after that, and I've since immersed myself in the smoky stylings of Ms. Gentry, but I give you credit for pointing out a good thing to the masses. Many kisses and much love from a former New Yorker.

John,
Nashville
