NYT gossip columnist Joyce Wadler (or since it's the NYT, one of her minions) attended the book party for Page Six reporter Ian Spiegelman's Everyone's Burning at strip club Privilege on Tuesday. Whither strip club? "My personality really isn't Elaine's," says Ian. "It's more Privilege." (Possibly related: The book is, if I remember correctly, a quasi-erotic novel with some S&M elements. The dominatrixes would have perhaps been a bit awkward at the Harvard Club.) Wadler/minion reports that she/he spotted...here come the boldface names!...a shitload of media people. Oooh! Ahhh! Non-media person (the only one, I think) MOBY was also there, as was Page Six reporter CHRIS WILSON WHO COMPLAINS THAT I NEVER WRITE ABOUT HIM IN MY COLUMN. (To be fair, he never writes about me in his, either.) It was basically your generic literary event, but with more strippers.
