How much does it cost to party with Prince? After his finalMadison Square Gardenconcert on Monday night, a source tells us His Royal Badness performed a second show at the Darby for a group of VIPs that includedChloe Sevigny,Cameron Diaz, her Yankee beau,Alex Rodriguez, and Kim Kardashian - and anyone willing to fork over $200 in cash at the door (That's about what good Garden seats cost.)
Prince took the stage withBrooklyn'sTalib Kweliat 1:45 a.m. They opened with"Party Hearty" - after Kweli name-checked Diaz in a freestyle intro - and the funk god ended up playing four sets, including a cover of Chic’s disco classic"Le Freak.""He would play for 30 minutes, leave the stage, then come back on for another 30 minutes,"said another lucky Darby-goer. Comic relief came during a break, whenJus Skespotted fellow deejayCassidyflirting withBlake Lively, and got on the mic to flag Cassidy's"nice leather pants!"Way to blow up someone's game, dude.
Dell's just another dude
Padma Lakshmidid not seem to be onAdam Dell's mind Monday night. Although the venture capitalist is locked in a custody battle with the"Top Chef"host over their 11-month-old daughter,Krishna Thea, he was in a social mood at the Cinema Society screening party for"Vanishing on 7th Street"at Beauty& Essex. Dell was spotted getting jolly with singerNatasha Bedingfieldand her blond entourage, which included club queenAmy Sacco. He left with them around midnight. Party on, daddy.
New Yorklikes a winner
Will the Packers Super Bowl win pack them in at"Lombardi"? The Broadway play about iconicNFLcoach Vince Lombardi - who turnedGreen Bayinto a winning team in the '60s - did get a shout-out courtesy of Fox sportscasterHowie Long. He predicted the show would be extended for another year, given the victory, and today producersTony PonturoandFran Kirmserwill unveil signs at Circle in the Square theater congratulating the team. Done up in Green Bay green and yellow, the banners declare:"The Legacy Continues. See Where It All Began."
A spokeswoman for the play points out that"Lombardi"was extended through June 19 in January. As for any sales bump the Packers’ victory might bring, she noted, tongue in cheek, that"Carol Channingperformed at theSuper Bowl in 1970and we don't know how it affected ticket sales to 'Hello, Dolly!'"
Do over needed?
Demi MooreandAshton Kutcher?a>??s hearts are in the right place, but their taste in symbolism may be suspect. Until Valentine’s Day, jewelry designerJack Vartanianis donating 50% of the proceeds from the sale of his diamond-studded"handcuff"necklaces ($710 to $2,760) to the Demi andAshton Foundation, which raises awareness about child sex slavery. When we emailed their reps to note that handcuffs seemed an odd choice of symbol, given the charity’s mission, Moore responded with a statement that the necklace"symbolizes the bond of love and the importance of freedom"and that she wears hers“every day” as a reminder that “as long as even one person is enslaved, we are all enslaved.”
Great minds think alike
Zac EfronandJake Gyllenhaalhave similar taste. The latter actor ducked into a Solstice Sunglass Boutique on Saturday to escape gawkers and, a fellow shopper tells us, bought a pair ofGuccisunglasses. Exiting, he bumped into the incoming Efron, who must have taken a subliminal cue from the run-in: He tried on the same pair but didn’t buy them.
