I love Gossip!  Not actual gossip, but the band Gossip.  The trio was in town to perform a record release show for their great new album “A Joyful Noise” which was released on May 22, 2012.  If you don’t know the music of Gossip, definitely check them out.  And on new tracks such as “Move in the Right Direction” just try and sit still while the song plays.  It’s impossible!   They started off as a punk rock band (and lead singer Beth Ditto has a set of pipes on her that makes you realize she was born to perform) and have recently been exploring dancier territory.

If you’ve never seen Gossip live, I highly recommend it as their shows are high energy with Beth Ditto running all over the stage and they tend to always throw in an unexpected cover.  In the past, I’ve heard Grace Jones’ “Pull Up To The Bumper” and Wham’s “Careless Whisper.”

After a 4 day hiatus from hanging out with and meeting the rich and famous, I am back baby!  Ha!  Sometimes a boy needs a full night of sleep in this city of a billion things to do.  Today, I met comedian and TV show host Jimmy Fallon.  He was super cool.  You can’t see our legs in the photo, but I assure you, there were no pants on the ground. Thanks Jimmy!

Recently, superstar DJ Tommie Sunshine did a set before the Scissor Sisters played New York’s Bowery Ballroom.  His set featured remixes of Lana Del Rey’s “Blue Jeans” and hot dance tracks by Katy Perry and Usher. When I met Tommie after the set, I complimented him on playing Aphex Twin’s “Window Licker” and we high fived!  That was fuckin’ rad on both counts!  Thanks Tommie!

I was already in heaven going to another Scissor Sisters show, but it was a completely unexpected surprise to run into the fabulous Academy Award winning actress and activist Susan Sarandon at the show!  Like the entire audience, she had a great time and she was super cool when she posed for this photo with me!  Thanks Susan!  Love you!

Indian born and London based artist Anish Kapoor has two great exhibits showing in New York simultaneously at Gladstone Gallery (through June 9, 2012).  Pictured above is one of 22 free-standing cement sculptures (and can be seen at the 515 West 24th Street location).

The second of the 2 part exhibition takes place at Gladstone Gallery (located at 530 West 21st Street) and is a massive dome-shaped sculpture (hollow in the center). Anish Kapoor will be unveiling Britain’s largest public art work at the 2012 Olympics later this year and you know it will be amazing!

Until then, the duo of Anish Kapoor exhibits are running at Gladstone Gallery in New York through June 9, 2012.

Spotted at the opening of these exhibits were writer Salman Rushdie as well as artist Matthew Barney along with Bjork and of course Anish Kapoor was on hand and after the jump, see a photo of me with the artist.
