Models Are Back in Fashion at DETAILS
The September issue means fashion, so Details opted to skip the celebrities and chose Tyson Ballou and Emily DiDonato for its cover. No complaints from me, although they did manage to capture the spirit of Hollywood. Tyson's 36 and Emily is 22.

The Time a Teenage Anthony Kiedis Proposed to Debbie Harry
Rolling Stone has a great wrap-up of the recent reception for Chris Stein's photography exhibit at the Sunset Marquis Hotel, Morrison Hotel Gallery, in West Hollywood, with remembrances from Stein, Debbie Harry and Joan Jett. Perhaps most surprising is a picture of future Red Hot Chili Peppers singer Anthony Kiedis as a teen with his father, actor Blackie Dammett, "both wearing black T-shirts and expressions of streetwise attitude." Stein recalls: "I knew Blackie from the scene. He showed up at the Tropicana one day and said, ‘This is my kid.' Anthony proposed to Debbie. I thought they looked real cool together. I got a whole roll of them."
Clem Burke, Debbie Harry, Joan Jett and Chris Stein
The images also document the long friendship Jett has had with Blondie since her teenage days as a member of the Runaways. "We used to hang out a lot. When Blondie would come to L.A., they'd set up in town for a couple of weeks or a month and be around for a while," said Jett.
"They were always very, very supportive of the Runaways and me, even after the Runaways broke up and they had big hits. They tried to talk me up to the press and record companies. They were real friends."

Also at the opening were Blondie drummer Clem Burke, artist Shepard Fairey, ex-Hole drummer Patty Schemel and Go-Go's bassist Kathy Valentine, in town with her band the BlueBonnets, and also working with Schemel on the Bad Empressions project.

Paradise Lost
Sad to see that the Paradise Cafe in Chelsea has closed after 20 years, the victim of yet another ridiculous rent hike. I wish I could say I'm surprised, but with both Bendix Diner and the Big Cup now the home of huge nail salons -- and a Chase Bank or a Starbucks on every corner where the bodegas used to be -- it's really become par for the course. While most people will miss Paradise for its homestyle baked goods and casual atmosphere, I will always remember it fondly as the site of the legendary "This is really fucking stupid" incident, one of my all-time favorite New York City moments. Owner Michael Turowsky (pictured) tells DNA Info that he's on the lookout for a new space to possibly revive Paradise, but he has not found any leads yet. Good luck, Michael.

Bill De Blasio Rises to the Top
Well, I was rooting for Christine Quinn when I thought she was the best candidate with an actual chance of winning. But now that the Democratic mayoral primary (aka the mayor's race) has morphed into the 2010 GOP presidential primary -- minus the homophobia, misogyny, anti-immigrant rhetoric and race-baiting -- I couldn't be happier that lefty favorite Bill de Blasio is suddenly out front. Only in New York City could a straight white man be the most liberal candidate against a lesbian, a Jew, an Asian, and an African American! Still wish he had a little more charisma -- and you know how much I hate to admit Cynthia Nixon was right about everything -- but this city of progressives hasn't had an appropriate leader in decades. Let's see if his lead sticks. Read HERE.
