I assume he was looking for something decent to replace that ghastly orange New York Knicks baseball cap... 

"The girl who threw [the flour] acted like an animal herself," Samantha wrote in her blog yesterday.

Adding afterwards, "I take that back, it's an insult to animals to group her in with them, my dog is FAR more civilized than that person".

Lohan was attacked for wearing a black fur stole (see above); she was helped to clean up by the owner of the nightclub before hitting the red carpet and posing for photographers. 

Officially opened by Victoria's Secret supermodel, Heidi Klum, other a-listers in attendance included Gwyneth Paltrow, Alex Rodriguez, John Stamos, Kate Hudson, Paris Hilton, Sean 'P Diddy' Combs, Mariah Carey, Chloe Sevigny, Alessandro Ambrosio, Debbie Harry, Noemie Lenoir and the models from Victoria's Secret, to name a few..

My favourite picture from the event is this one of Heidi Klum with John Stamos...

Though if the photos are anything to go by, I wonder if the pair had a falling out?  Ronson looks extremely grumpy and given the allegedly romantic nature of their Parisian break, you'd think they'd be a bit more, well, together?!...

Unfortunately as you can see from the following picture, Craig, 40, seems to be a bit of a brolly hog...

Though the album launch nearly didn't happen after severe turbulence struck her private jet as the former Destiny's Child singer headed back from the World Music Awards in Monte Carlo. 

While the pair of them are both smiling as they exit the hotel, Beyonce looks plastic and posed in comparison to the very natural looking Rowland.

She was also sporting a pair of rather bizarre peep-toe boots...

According to Wall Street Journal, the half-acre villa is located in the "hills of Lurin" and has "four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, a large deck and wide views of St. Jean Bay" where Martin likes to bodyboard.

The property also comes with a "caretaker's house, a pool, a lily pond and a Balinese-style gazebo".

For those of you with $30k burning a hole in your pocket but who remain unconvinced, check out Wall Street Journal's slideshow. 

The villa is available to rent  through www.stbarth.com/villas.

Huffington Post had this to say:

"According to Fox News Chief Political Correspondent Carl Cameron, there was great concern within the McCain campaign that Palin lacked "a degree of knowledgeability necessary to be a running mate, a vice president, a heartbeat away from the presidency," in part because she didn't know which countries were in NAFTA, and she "didn't understand that Africa was a continent, rather than a series, a country just in itself."

Maybe she needs to organise herself a holiday there pronto! She can take John McCain and they can ponder their humiliating defeat at the hands of Barack Obama!

The trip is aimed to help the Princess - who is on a gap year -  get used to attending official royal engagements and while 18-year-old Eugenie will not be attending official meetings, she will join her father for evening receptions and dinners.

I love the pictures below of the pair; in the first one she's attending a banquet and looks as though her dad has just told her a thoroughly rubbish joke.  She also looks a little like The Princess Diaries actress, Anne Hathaway.

In the second image her father, the Duke of York, looks on proudly as Princess Eugenie meets earthquake survivors in Dujiangyan.

The Duke of York is paying for his daughter's hotel rooms and food on the trip and has also bought her an air ticket which allows her to fly business class. 

We've contacted him to pass on all your best wishes and have received the following message back from his manager...
