Field Day Everyone is being mean to
Sex and the City stylist Patricia Field over her comments before the screening of Bob Fosse’s film
Sweet Charity at the W in Manhattan. It all started when Isaac Mizrahi, who curated the evening, said that New York City “has inspired everything I’ve ever done. The idea of something raw and ugly next to something really polished and beautiful.” Derek Blasberg, who was a panelist, agreed. “Gritty glamour,” he said.

MDNA Now, in news so crazy that it absolutely has to be true: Madonna is concerned that her DNA could be left behind in dressing rooms so she employs a “sterilization team” to carefully remove all DNA traces. Alvaros Ramos, her Portuguese tour promoter, told the press: “We have to take extreme care, like I have never seen for any other artist. We cannot even look at the dressing room after it is ready, or even open the door. We can only enter after her sterilization team has left the room. There will not be any traces of Madonna’s DNA, any hair or anything….In the end it is all to protect her and make her feel comfortable.” Okay then. [
