Johnny Weiris a huge fan of fellow costume connoisseurLady Gaga- but even Olympic athletes get star-struck. AtElise Overland's fashion week presentation at theStandard Hotel's ice-skating rink on Saturday, Weir said he ran into Gaga"the other day"at theChanelboutique in Soho, where she was shopping while two Escalades waited outside.
"I didn't expect her to remember me,"Weir explained, especially because he was disguised in a"huge fur hat and glasses and a scarf across my face"at the time. Still, he decided to say hi - and boy, was it worth it!
"I walked up to her and she was like, 'Johnny Weir. Weir. JOHNNY WEIR!' and then she gave me a huge hug, and I introduced my friend,"Weir recalled, calling it a"gorgeousNew Yorkmoment."
It sounds to us like he's on his way to BFF status with the Fame Monster. He's already in with her mom, who"is a huge skating fan"and"comes to all my shows in the New York area,"Weir told us. Born This Way indeed!
Sandra Leeisn't shy about the PDA ...
Gov. Andrew Cuomo's gal pal Sandra Lee is so enamored ofValentine's Day, she's even giving a token of her affection to her pet bird Monday. According to the"Semi-Homemade Cooking"host'sFood Networkblog, she got her four-month-old Umbrella Cockatoo,Phoenix, a bucket filled with birdseed. She's passing out oversized boxes ofGodivachocolates and chocolate vodka to her workmates.
And for Cuomo's girls Michaela, Cara andMariah- Lee calls them her"semi-homemade daughters"on the blog - she's giving Victorian boxes made of sugar and filled with chocolate and bejeweled barrettes."I do not send a lot for Christmas,"Lee writes, because so many people are already"inundated"with gifts. Rather, the luscious Lee writes"I like to show my love"on Valentine's Day. So what's the gov getting? Lee is sending a love letter to her"sweetheart,"as she calls him."There is no money or expensive bauble that can replace its meaning or sentiment,"she writes.

Barbara Bushshoulders up toPrabal Gurung
Prabal Gurung, who first made a splash dressingMichelle Obama, has fans on both sides of the aisle. Former first daughter Barbara Bush attended hisSoHoMondrian post-show party on Saturday night, and greeted the designer like an old pal. Barbara's not necessarily her dad's policy clone, as she proved with a recent video spot in support of gay marriage— and it looks like the gay community returns the love, given the enthusiastic welcome she got from the party's fashionistas. After giving Gurung a big hug, Bush told him that his show was"amazing,"and crowed that now they had to"get drunk together."That's something everyone can get behind!
Steven Spielbergis in the building!
Hollywood runs on Steven Spielberg time. A source who attended An Unforgettable Evening to benefit EIF's Women's Cancer Research Fund on Thursday says theBeverly Wilshire Hotelfete started late because organizers didn't want the presentation to begin without the"Jaws"director. Our insider even heard one of the event's organizers squawk via a walkie-talkie,"Spielberg is in the building!"- signalling either that the festivities could start or that the filmmaker has assumed Elvis-like status inL.A.
Spielberg and his wifeKate Capshawhad the power table at the event. They sat withTom Hanksand his wifeRita Wilson,Warren Beatty, his wifeAnnette Beningand comicMartin Short.
Hilarity ensued when the evening's emceeConan O'Brienannounced thatRihannawould not be performing as scheduled (reportedly due to bronchitis). This prompted comicTom Arnoldto loudly asked if O'Brien thought the singer would perform at theGrammys. An incredulous O'Brien brought down the house when he replied:"Tom Arnold what the hell are you doing?"Even Arnold was laughing when Conan added:"You choose this moment now to have a dialogue?"
