MEET OUR FAVORITE NEW DJ...JESSE MARCO

by Sabrina Bacon

Jesse Marco is just 21 years old, but this native New Yorker, who has already established himself on the nightlife scene for his fast hands and keen ear, has now successfully crossed over into the fashion world.

Still a student at NYU, Jesse spins regularly at a number of boldfaced nightspots in the city (including Stam and Lily favorite 1Oak.) Oh, and did we mention that he counts Jay-Z and Kanye West, as well as fashion royalty Marc Jacobs and Kate Moss amongst his audience members?


Recently, in addition to spinning many venues like Rock the Vote's official Lollapalooza after-parties at the Hard Rock Hotel, a French Connection party, a post-CFDA awards bash hosted by IMG at Goldbar, and the Calvin Klein “Secret Obsession” Fragrance launch (that never saw the light of day), Jesse has also just signed a modeling contract.

In his first week with his agency, he shot a campaign for London (and soon-to-be New York) giant Topshop, and has also worked with fashion favorite Terry Richardson on a Uniqlo campaign.


But, as Mark Ronson once said, it’s Jesse’s prowess in the DJ booth that merits the most praise. “Jesse’s adept technically and knowledgeable about umpteen genres of music,” the Grammy-award winning producer told Page Six Magazine. And, assuredly, his recent line-up of gigs would indicate that the city’s tastemakers have taken notice of this fresh, young talent and the energy he creates.

You can check Jesse out at www.myspace.com/thedjjm, and of course, keep an eye out for him in TopMan when it opens on Broadway!

(CRAZY) TRICIA WALSH-SMITH GETS A CRAPPY DIVORCE SETTLEMENT ...

Wow, I never really cared to write about this crazy divorcee on YouTube, but I watched again for the first time all the way through, and its kind of really depressing. To think you have security and home and then one day you have nothing. I mean I get why she married him but it works both ways. He married her for youth(-ish) and she married him for "Broadway".

Oh damn, Tricia has been court ordered to leave her Park Avenue apartment by August 21, 2008.  Philip "Putz" Smith is suing for divorce saying that the YouTube video is spousal abuse.

He does have to pay Tricia $50,000 bones within 30 days, though.


Well Tricia I say you make when life give you limes make cocktail. Your're wecome.

JUST SINCH IT!

What else do you do to an oversized jumper? Well if you asked Mary-Kate Olsen last night in New York she would have said, "Sinch it with a red belt, duh."

RICH PEOPLE HAVE THE BEST PARTIES...

by Pierre Baltadano



Child - "Mom, is that really Reginald's heart?"
Mother - "Yes sweetie it is, but he would have been so happy about getting to entertain us."

That's cool that they killed the servant and all to display his gushing heart to their guests, but I once attended a party where the hosts brought in starving prisoners to have them fight in a cage until one would kill the other and finally take care of his hunger. Hmm...you're welcome? (I don't think many can pull off "You're welcome" as well as our dear Markus).

Really though, it's a piece by Billy Chasen of a beating heart [belonging to one of the men who attacked us] shown at the American Heart Association's 2008 Heart of New York Gala at the Waldorf Astoria. And I don't think it's real. Is it?
