Fuld Seals the Deal at 640 Park

cityfile · 08/21/09 07:44AM

• A rare bit of good news for former Lehman chief Dick Fuld and his wife Kathy! The couple have closed on the sale of their 6,200-square-foot co-op at 640 Park Avenue, albeit for quite a bit less than they were hoping to make on the sale. After originally putting the apartment on the market for $32 million in May, the couple ended up selling it for $25.87 million. The lucky buyer? Glenn Fuhrman, the co-founder of MSD Capital, Michael Dell's investment fund. [Real Deal]
• Celebrity hairstylist Orlando Pita bought a condo at 101 Warren Street last September. Now he's unloaded his former co-op at 2 Fifth Avenue. The two-bedroom pad, which Pita first put up for sale in '07, sold for $2.95 million to Razorfish co-founder Craig Kanarick and his wife, Rebecca Odes. [Cityfile]

Lindsay Lohan's Days Are Never Drama-Free

cityfile · 08/21/09 05:45AM

• Lindsay Lohan left her cell phone at a deli yesterday. When she returned a few minutes later to retrieve it, an employee refused to give it back to her. LiLo wasn't too pleased to hear that, of course. (Let's hope the Italian ice she's holding made up for it.) But most of the time, she only has herself to blame for her troubles. Yesterday she tweeted that she was at a store in SoHo. But then she got annoyed when a gazillion photographers materialized outside a few minutes later. [Sun, P6]
• Salman Rushdie was spotted making out with a hot, young babe at the Inglourious Basterds party at the Standard Grill the other night. [P6]
• Jennifer Aniston supposedly "feels rejected and upset" after Bradley Cooper dropped her and started dating Renee Zellweger. [Us]
• Speaking of Zellweger, she used her appearance on David Letterman's show last night to promote the Blue Parrot, the Mexican restaurant she co-owns with Ron Perelman, Jon Bon Jovi, and Larry Gagosian, among others. [People]

The September Issue Makes Its Debut

• The September Issue debuted at the Museum of Modern Art on Wednesday night and the fashion set turned out en masse, not surprisingly. Just a few bits from the big event: Anna Wintour couldn't stop talking up Fashion's Night Out; Thakoon gushed that Anna is now "bigger than Madonna"; the film's unlikely star, Grace Coddington, emphasized that she really never wanted to take part in it; everyone ignored Tom Florio; Diddy claimed Anna as his fashion "godmother"; and Marc Jacobs, who insisted on putting on a French accent when speaking to reporters, argued that contrary to what most people think, Anna's really very "maternal and caring."
• Speaking of Jacobs, rumor has it his wedding to Lorenzo Martone will go down this weekend in Provincetown. And his big Fashion Week after-party, which was canceled last year, will return this fall.

Spotify is everything iTunes should be: Simple, free and completely ubiquitous. The internet positively overflows with shared Spotify playlists. But the damned Europeans have the online music service all to themselves. Well, almost all of it.
