Last night, at the Eighth Annual Benefit for the Elton John Foundation, Vulture bathroom buddy Courtney Love was very active, putting on the expected Courtney Love show: After showing up hours late, she stole Anderson Cooper's star-table seat when he exited the soirée early to anchor his evening show. She grabbed a votive candle off a table near the ladies' room, grabbed her pack of cigarettes, and came out coughing. (Guarding the bathroom door for her? Gossip Girl's Matthew Settle.) She bid $10,000 on a polo lesson with Nacho Figueras and $120,000 on a date with Bill Clinton, tonight's honoree, who was present (and presumably terrified) when Love stood up to make her bid, waving her white napkin around wildly.
Later on, outside on the Cipriani steps, she was balancing yet another cigarette with a piece of cake, disappointed that she lost out on the date with the former president. "On Clinton, I was like, 'That might be fun!' I would never bid if I didn't want to. But after 120 [thousand dollars], it's like, I don't have a plutonium card." Anyway, she continues: "I had breakfast with [Hillary Clinton] once at the Chateau Marmont in about 2004. We have the same hairdresser. We had a great breakfast — she's great, she gossips. We gossiped and we talked about corporate mergers. She's a lot more fun than you would think."
It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union.... Men, their rights and nothing more; women, their rights and nothing less. ~Susan B. Anthony
It's what they do after they get their hair done that makes the difference, I'm sure. Hillary goes to work while Courtney... uh, let's not think about that, OK?
