Kanye West likes to hear himself. A source tells us the singer made sure clubgoers at Avenue enjoyed a taste of his own music early Sunday morning. Arriving after midnight with an entourage that included Kid Cudi, he asked deejay Sam French to play his hit"Runaway."French complied, prompting Yeezy to start"jamming out to his own music"—"drink in hand."A few pretty ladies noticed and advanced, but another insider says, aside from posing for pictures with a few hotties, it was a"boys night"for Kanye and Cudi.
Olbermann Tweets up a storm
Keith Olbermann is a Twitter god. Little more than a week after exiting MSNBC, fans of his popular but now-defunct"Countdown"show seem to have followed him to the Twitter zone. As of Monday afternoon, Olbermann had 215,839 followers, up from just under 200,000 at the start of the day. Ironically, he used to disdain Twitter and even once named it his show's"Worst Persons in the World."Get this man a TV show!
Where is the love?
Harvey Weinstein, Dr. Love? Make no mistake, Hollywood's awards season is a white-knuckle ride, but movie-industry sources tell us the Weinstein Co.'s post-SAG Awards party at the Sunset Towers was a lovefest in more ways than one. TWC's"The King's Speech"was the big winner, with awards going to star Colin Firth as well as the film's cast, but that didn't keep the movie's ostensible Oscar competitors away.
Among those who showed up to celebrate were"Black Swan"director Darren Aronofsky,"The Social Network's"Justin Timberlake and"The Fighter"director David O. Russell. Also glitzing up the joint were Sofia Vergara and her boyfriend, potential Senate candidate Nick Loeb;"Glee"star Jane Lynch;"Mad Men"hunk Jon Hamm; and Weinstein Co. mascot Quentin Tarantino.
Speaking of amore, we also hear that Timberlake, who's linked with Jessica Biel, and his"Friends With Benefits"co-star Mila Kunis were"cozy"at the party.
...Pants on fire
Splash's smoky Sunday-morning mystery solved? A source tells us the reason all those sexy"firemen with a big hose"were summoned to the gay hot spot, as we reported Monday, was a lit cigarette that a coatroom staffer failed to extinguish. Um, aren't there rules about smoking indoors? No one answered the club's phone to respond.
King of the hill
Rep. Peter King chairs the House Homeland Security Committee— and he's funny, too! Past and current district attorneys Robert Morgenthau and Cyrus Vance and supermarket mogul John Catsimatidis turned out Monday to see the Republican congressman and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly speak at the Police Athletic League luncheon at the Mutual of America Offices in Midtown. The topic was serious — terrorism —
but King got a nice laugh when he cracked a joke about his and Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner's token attempt to forge a more bipartisan Congress by sitting next to each other at the State of the Union address.
Addressing the PAL crowd, King apologized for his hoarse voice and said he didn't know if he had laryngitis or bronchitis. He seemed sure of one thing though:"God has been punishing me for sitting next to Anthony Weiner."
Stylist show-stopper
Gali Barraza got a big surprise in the form of a little person, thanks to famed jewelry designer Lorraine Schwartz on Wednesday. A source says the celeb stylist pulled Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam out of retirement to perform for Barraza's birthday bash at midtown East hot spot Covet. Guests included supermodels May Anderson, Julia Orden and Jessica White, but Schwartz's show-stopper was a cake from which a midget emerged, prompting the crowd to erupt in squeals of delight.
