After Page Six alluded to The Gansevoort Hotel staff as being just a tad anti-semitic, the hotel retorted saying that the incident on New Year's Eve that led to the allegation was a misunderstanding. Their side of the story includes having to kick out a yarmulke-less (and apparently racist) "ill-behaved boyfriend of a member of Kid ['I love Jewish people'] Rock's PR team." Today Grub Street asked "which member of Kid Rock’s PR team brought......

Page Six has reports of some nasty antisemitism that went down at the Hotel Gansevoort’s regrettably named G-Spa lounge. A witness tells the Post that a Jewish guest – who had paid for a ticket to the festivities – was insulted by the club’s staff for wearing a yarmulke. When the man tried to enter the party with his friend, the doorman reportedly asked a fellow staffer, “What kind of people do you want in......

Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: a pedestrian struck on East 112th St. and 3rd Ave. in Manhattan, shots fired at 132nd St. and Madison Ave. in Manhattan, and a commercial burglary on 4th Ave. and 90th St. in Brooklyn. Page Six lists its top ten scoops of the year. #1 is about Rosie O'Donnell's writer being escorted from The View offices for drawing magic marker mustaches on pictures of Elizabeth Hasselbeck, and rumors that......

The story of Philadelphia anchorwoman Alycia Lane gets stranger and stranger. Her first call upon release from custody after punching a NYPD officer was, according to the Philadelphia Daily News, to Pennsylvania Governor Edward Rendell. A spokesman for the Pennsylvania governor told the paper, she did it to "make sure he knew her side of the story because he is an opinion-maker and runs around in influential circles." And "I think she knew better than......

Alycia Lane, the anchorwoman from the CBS owned station KYW in Philadelphia , who was at one time linked to WCBS anchor Chris Wragge, sent bikini photos to a married man, and is frequently mentioned in the Post’s Page Six column got into some more hot water in Chelsea around 2 a..m. Sunday morning. The Long Island native, allegedly punched a female police officer from the 10th Precinct in the face at W. 17th Street......

Robert Morgenthau's stranglehold on the position of Manhattan District Attorney has lasted 33 years but today's Post tittered that he was mulling an "early exit." Page Six reported that a "well-connected legal source" said the 88-year-old DA was orchestrating a retirement to have Cyrus Vance Jr. installed for a few years. Apparently Morgenthau wants Vance Jr., once an assistant DA, in place to block his former protegee and 2005 Democratic primary opponent Leslie Crocker Snyder,......

Wait a minute, didn't Brian Williams host Saturday NIght Live just two weeks ago, the one where Barack Obama appeared in the opening? Yes, but with the Writers Guild strike still on, Saturday Night Live decided to revisit the recent past, versus dig into old "Best of" clip shows. The unfortunate thing is that Page Six reports 90% of the SNL production staff was fired "until further notice" because of the strike. Other TV shows'......

Mayor Michael Bloomberg hasn't totally eschewed the Republican party. According to the NY Sun, the Democrat-turned- Republican-turned- independent will be "entertaining" Nancy Reagan "as well as hosting a fund-raiser for the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library." Like the former First Lady, Bloomberg has progressive views on health and science issues (like stem cells). And Bloomberg has been known to host many fund-raisers for various people and causes. But some suspect that Bloomberg might be looking for......

Former President Bill Clinton may love to eat foods like osso bucco, but he's not so happy with the restaurant Osso Buco. Clinton's lawyer sent owner Nino Selimaj a letter demanding that a photograph of Selimaj and Chelsea Clinton, which had been featured in the University Place location's window, be taken down. The AP reported that lawyer Douglas J. Band (apparently using letterhead from "the office of William Jefferson Clinton") noted the young Clinton's status......

One would think that dropping some serious cash at a high end auction house would be a safe bet. Today it's being reported that an art dealer in Chelsea did just that and ended up with a counterfeit piece! Christie's is now being faced with a $7 million lawsuit that charges them with knowingly selling the art dealer a fake Jean-Michel Basquiat painting. Page Six reports:Tony Shafrazi, who was Basquiat's primary dealer, says he bought......

Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: an unstable building at 37th Ave. and 31st St. in Queens, a stabbing on State St. and 3rd Ave. in Brooklyn, and an organ transport on the Cross Island Parkway in Queens. GrandOpening on the LES is following up its single-table storefront Ping Pong concept with another slice of Americana: the drive-in movie theater. $75 will secure all six passenger seats in a ragtop Ford Falcon. We recommend burning......

Since the spring, the Post’s Page Six gossip column has for some reason been following the strange saga of the love life of Long Island native and Philadelphia television anchor Alycia Lane, who bears more than a passing resemblance to Liz Cho. It has, of course but it has provided some strange entertainment since May when the tabloid revealed that she had sent e-mails containing private photos of herself to NFL Network anchor Rich Eisen......

Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: a shooting on Beekman Ave. in the Bronx, a double shooting on Throop Ave. in Brooklyn, and a dead body in the water just south of the Bayonne Bridge off Staten Island. There was a breaking news story on a cop being shot and killed this morning at or near a Hilton Hotel on 31st St. in Manhattan. Details were conflicting and confusing (not unusual in a breaking news......

The owners of a controlling interest in Dow Jones & Company, Inc. may be considering a move to sell the company to Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. When the news that Rupert Murdoch was interested in acquiring The Wall Street Journal and adding all of Dow Jones to his News Corp. media empire, we wrote about the potential reluctance of the majority owners of the acquisition––the Bancroft family––and their longheld view that family ownership of a......

A week and a half ago, NY Times managing editor Jill Abramson was hurt in what an internal Times memo called a "traffic accident". Or, in Page Six parlance, it's called "crossing at the intersection of West [44th] Street and Seventh Avenue just as the garbage hauler was making a right turn" and having the truck ran over her foot. Ouch! The Post's Page Six reported at the time that the cops weren't charging the......

One can practically hear the giggling between the lines as The New York Times covers the New York Post's gossip page scandal that had the Post airing its own dirty laundry. Last year the Post fired Jared Paul Stern, a Page Six freelancer, after a billionaire accused him of trying to shake him down with promises to not write embarrassing things about him in exchange for cash. Stern is now suing the Post for his......

Are Robert DeNiro and David Bowie battling it out in a sort of festival turf war? Though both turned up at the Vanity Fair party thrown in honor of New York's Tribeca Film Festival - it seems there's some animosity in the air...or at least in the press. Bowie's High Line Festival begins on May 9th, just three days after DeNiro's Tribeca Film Festival ends. NY Mag describes the difference between the two: "The former......

There are many things that can be attributed to ruining a marriage. Infidelity. Mistrust. Abuse. But word that news anchor Paula Zahn and husband Richard Cohen are headed toward divorce has an added twist: An insider told Page Six, "Things really started going downhill for Paula and Richard during the Pale Male and Lola incident." Pale Male and Lola? You mean the lovable redtail hawks that Cohen and Zahn's co-op evicted from a perch, causing......

There's a Page Six today about Rachael Ray being attacked by a dog. Apparently an unleashed dog in Union Square Park (we will guess it was at the dog run) was very aggressive and caused quite a bit of havoc. Ray's rep told the Post, "Rachael and some others shooed it away, but it came back and attacked Isaboo [Ray's pitbull mix]. Other dogs were involved, and Rachael jumped in and was bit by one......

Jeffrey Chodorow has it out for Frank Bruni, and we mean big time. In a full page ad in yesterday's New York Times dining section (at a reported cost of over $83,000), Chodorow a essentially called Bruni a hack with no real food or reviewing experience (see Bruni's bio here), and accused Bruni of personally attacking him rather than focusing on the food at his latest restaurant, Kobe Club. In a rather deliberate move, he......

John Fekner was a street artist in the 1980s-- check out this gallery of his pieces, including a few from Greenpoint, near the old gas towers. [Via Wooster] Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: a barge worker had a heart attack and had to be rescued at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, someone fell down an elevator shaft on East 11th Street, and a water main broke on Canal Street. Former Page Six gossipeur Jared Paul......

Yesterday afternoon, a strange package leaking white powder was found at the United Nations. The package was in the CNN mailbox, and the area, which included other media offices and part of a lobby corridor, was examined by a Hazmat team. But now, based on preliminary tests, the UN says, "It appears to be flour." Since the the Hazmat teams didn't know what they were dealing with, three floors were decontaminated. And here's a funny......

Seems like "Factory Girl" may take a little longer to come out than originally thought. Bob Dylan and his team of lawyers want to stop the movie from seeing the light of day. Dylan says the upcoming Edie Sedgwick film falsely suggests he was responsible for her suicide. According to Page Six, the lawyers sent a letter to producers of the film, Bob Yari and Holly Wiersma, and screenwriter Aaron Richard Golub, demanding it......

What people will do at sample sales! Sure, they'll stomp all over you or strip down to see if the clothes fit, but creating fake booty? Brilliant! Page Six has this hilarious item about shoplifters at an adam+eve sample sale. A customer noted that "four large women in trench coats" had been stealing some things, but when adam+eve designer Adam Lippes asked them to take off their coats, it got crazy.One woman tried distracting Lippes......

Julia Moskin sits in for Bruni again this week, gives two stars to the new dining room at the Morgan Library. It's eccentric, she says--open only during museum hours, which means that it only serves dinner on Friday nights, and even then only until 9pm. But "there's no institution that joins a menu and a museum as seamlessly." Also in the Times, Sarah Lyall's got an update on food in British school cafeterias, and the......

From today's Page Six in the Post comes a cartoon from Sean Delonas. Perhaps it's a tad early to be making fun of the Cory Lidle crash, no? We suppose Delonas and the Post do get credit for timeliness though.......

In this week's Time Out, Mickey Rourke showed off his, er, opinionated nature while trying to promote a movie (the one about a British spy kid, Alex Rider). Not only does he call Pastis "precious" (like, duh) because he can't take his dog Loki there, he also explains a recent run-in:There was an item in Page Six recently about a drunk hassling you at Macelleria in the West Village. That guy was screaming at the......

-- Remember that insane case from back in March with the Cravath, Swaine & Moore lawyer who got busted for seducing two sisters? He's been in lockup since he was captured at the St. Marks Hotel, and the judge just refused to release him on bail. -- A grad student discovered something new about the predatory dinosaur Coelophysis bauri-- while standing at 81st Street Stop on the C! -- A book-keeper at Gramercy Tavern......

There might be downside to being the "former man snack of Lindsay Lohan, Ashlee Simpson and Ashley Olsen, and the current squeeze of Jamie-Lynn Sigler" as the Post puts it. Scott Sartiano, known to anyone who has read three consecutive issues of US, In Touch or Star in the past few years, is being accused of embezzling money from Butter, the restaurant he co-owns. He, and another co-owner, Simon Akiva, are being sued by the......

Yes, Daily News, it must be your birthday. After charges of alleged extortion and over shilling certain establishments, Page Six is certainly on a roll: Richard Johnson, the editor of the influential gossip page, was arrested for driving while intoxicated. He was pulled over during yesterday's wee hours in the Meatpacking District and according to the criminal complaint, which can you read at The Smoking Gun, Johnson "had watery and bloodshot eyes, had slurred speech......
