Emergency Delivery for G. Clooney: My Life as an A-List Party Crasher

Charlotte Laws · 05/13/15 03:20PM

I was recently voted one of the 15 most notorious party crashers in the world, a title I don’t take lightly.

Timothy Burke · 01/16/12 08:00AM

Awards shows are compelling because they're occasions for the rich, famous, and beautiful to go above and beyond to the apogee of glamor. The Golden Globes, however—mostly due to the mass quantities of alcohol and other substances in close proximity—are often the occasion for the glamorous to become beastlike in the blink of an eye.
