Jason Binn, inevitably referred to as the "baby-faced" publisher of Gotham, LA Confidential, and Hamptons, is having his engagement party this Thursday. (RSVP by tonight, kids!) The golden boy of high society is finally taking the big plunge, and the very rich have never felt more romantic.

I approve of the tasteful stylings and typography of the engagement party announcement that was just slipped to me. However, I must say that there is something a little... odd about engineering a massive host committee for an engagement party. I'd say that Thursday's event pulls out the heavyweights in a manner more suited to, hmm, an evening to raise money for the thousands of orphaned amputees of Sierra Leone than to celebrate the love of the mag lad and his betrothed (one Ms. Haley Lieberman, daughter of Miami society). Cindy Adams would surely holler, "I haven't seen this much Trump since the bridge tournament in Westchester!"

They'll all be there: hair god Frederic Fekkai, a Weinstein brother, Page Six's Richard Johnson and (more media eating itself) celebrity photographer-cum-celebrity Patrick McMullan, and wow, the spawners of the Hilton sisters themselves. And just for a little magic in the evening, Mr. David Copperfield! Binn's pal Bill Clinton probably insisted his name be left off for good taste. Who'd a thunk the trailer park President would be the one with a little restraint?

Gawker wishes many happy returns of their engagement to the young couple! We just hope they can pull some public relations together for the actual wedding.
