Summer should be a time of fun in the sun, but several big time New Yorkers will be cultivating a paler pallor as they spend their beach months sitting in the courtroom. Ex-supermodel Christie Brinkley and architect Peter Cook have spent so much time duking it out in front of judges and in the pages of The New York Post that the former Hamptons It couple have been ordered not to speak to each other … ever again.

Following in the footsteps of recent September cover stars Kate Moss, Halle Berry, and Charlize Theron, pop singer Lady Gaga has reportedly shot the September 2012 Vogue cover. Lady Gaga was previously featured on the magazine in March 2011 (that cover is at left); perhaps, in addition to promoting her new fragrance, she’s to Read More
Here’s an interesting way to throw shade: months after referring to Lady Gaga’s single “Born This Way” as “reductive” of her own work, Madonna was caught on tape performing a mash-up of “Born This Way” and the song it’s said to very closely resemble, “Express Yourself.” (She’s on tour this summer.)

Don’t expect to get a reservation to tonight’s grand opening of Joanne Trattoria, the collaborative dining efforts of chef Art Smith and Lady Gaga‘s father, Joe Germanotta. We called ahead to see if we could maybe snag a seat, but seeing as the West Side eatery had been promoting its phone number on the red awning of 70th West 68th St. since early January, we were out of luck. (And so is everyone else: the restaurant is booked solid till Feburary 15th, and Fridays and Saturdays are a no-go until the end of the month.)
