Gossip Roundup: Jonathan Cheban Strikes Back
Jessica · 07/26/05 11:15AM
• Pity the fool who crosses the Robin to Lizzie Grubman's Batman. After his former client, Miami's Shelborne Hotel, reneges a free offer and ends up charging several luminaries for their hotel rooms, Jonathan Cheban uses Page Six to fight for the common man. No one will charge the Olsen twins $6000 dollars in hotel fees and get away with it! [Page Six]
• Supermodel Kate Moss is spotted out on the town with Johnny Knoxville. Not spotted: Moss' maybe-fiancé Pete Doherty, Knoxville's wife, or Jessica Simpson. [R&M (2nd item)]
• For an astronomical fee, Rudy Giuliani will gladly go to the site of terror attacks and comfort the locals. The question is, can you afford his affirmations of courage? [Scoop (2nd item)]
• Maybe it's just us, but we find it strangely amusing that director John Singleton is meeting with Paramount execs about hustlers selling pirated DVDs of his movie Hustle & Flow. [Lowdown]

Jonathan Cheban, Master Of Betrayal
Jessica · 02/24/05 03:47PMDress Me Up Cheban
Jessica · 02/02/05 11:37AMI was sure I'd paid a lifetime's worth of journalistic dues after spending a strange Sunday evening with the inanely chipper celebu-lurker/frozen-food-flack Jonathan Cheban (despite the shiny hair, we're still pretty sure he's the fourth horseman of the publicist apocalypse). But once I received a package chock full of Cheban's Clarendon shirts (sized to fit), I realized the public deserved more. You're hungry. You know you want it, so please feast your eyes upon Cheban's designs, as worn by anonymodel Greg. We're sure you'll see plenty more of these spectacularly pricey cotton threads during Fashion Week, no?

Subject: Has Jonathan Cheban encountered murky waters?
Help me understand... Yes this guy Cheban is without doubt an industrial size tool, but what makes the vacuous, celebrity obsessed Gawker crew any different? Is this not the proverbial pot and black kettle scenario?

Jessica · 01/17/05 12:05PMTeam Party Crash: Gotham And The Merchant Of Venice
Jessica · 12/07/04 12:18PMSunday night, when we should have been home watching HBO's The Wire, we attended we attended the Intrigue/Gotham party for the NYC premiere of The Merchant of Venice starring Al Pacino, Jeremy Irons, Joseph Fiennes, and Lynn Collins. Held at the newly-opened and painfully-hyped Aer Lounge (in, our favorite, the Meatpacking District), it appeared that most of the cast and crew were in attendance (you try fighting a key grip for a spot at the bar). It's through this celebuhaze that Andrew Krucoff and photographer Nikola Tamindzic offer a visual sampling of the scene. (And yes, pictured above is professional arm candy Jonathan Cheban chatting up Kelly Osbourne.)
The Jonathan Cheban Backlash Continues
Jessica · 11/18/04 09:33AMAfter the Observer ran a profile on "schmooze" master Jonathan Cheban, who professes to be first-name-basis friends with "MK" and the like, we realized that, in all likelihood, no one on earth likes this man. As such, another reader writes in with an account of Jonathan Cheban, dedicated celebufriend and coattail-rider of the rich and fabulous:

Jessica · 11/17/04 08:56AMGood morning. Allow us to introduce you to Jonathan Cheban, who is, um, nobody, technically speaking, but has made a quasi-name for himself as the friend of such luminaries as Mischa Barton, the Olsens, and Lindsay Lohan. What does being a celebufriend entail? Take, for instance, a night at Marquee with Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie:
