Derek Blasberg: Don’t hate on him because he’s cute & connected & is at the parties you WISH you were at… (he works for Vogue, among others, and apparently knows everyone. But me.) And here he is with Zac & Jared at Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci’s birthday party in Ibiza. Franco was on Fallon and posed with Iggy Azalea & Seth Rogen. Gaga went swimming and sent up an airplane message for Tony Bennett’s 88th birthday. Jeffrey Slonim was Karbombed by Kenny Scharf at The Surf Lodge and Susanne Bartsch was out all hours at Kunst, as usual. Ru will be on Skin Wars in a week (can’t wait – hey WAIT, I’m just remembering that I saw Ru on the street trying to get a cab last night IN MY DREAM…? No joke. What does that mean?) Us Weekly‘s Sasha Charnin Morrison went mental at Lisa Lisa’s feet and along with Stevie Journey, was even happier to be home in NYC. Me? I stayed in and painted “Welcome Home” all weekend. Hank Willis Thomas got the shot of the week (along with at least two other folks) of the full-ish moon over the Freedom Tower last night. Hey, get out there and soak up the rest of summer, kids!

KENNY SCHARF KARBOMBZ THE SURF LODGE
I’ve posted before about my pal Kenny Scharf‘s Karbombz – but he just keeps doing them (for free!) He’s collecting the images, like the ones here, for a book. This weekend he’ll be at The Surf Lodge in Montauk using up can after can of deluxe spray. I have a 15 year-old green Beetle that I’m dying for him to bomb. My pal Cary is using the car in the Hamptons this weekend, so I just might drive out and get it Scharfed. Check out the picture just below. That’s Kenny’s grandson, Jet on his Dad Alex’s shoulders. (Believe it or not, I remember when Jet's Mom, Zena was that age!) Follow Kenny on Instagram to see more. (FYI, you need a reservation and they book up fast...)
