Andy Dick kicked off his debauched week in New York by throwing up on a hapless partier at Butter on Monday night.
Dick, there for a party rapper Lil Jon threw to launch his energy drink Crunk, was downstairs with party staples Sean Lennon, Devon Aoki and Chloe Sevigny when he lost control.
A music magazine editor had the misfortune of sitting alone at a table when Dick and his assistant decided to join her. The wayward comic took one sip of his drink before ducking his head under the table to hurl. “It came out like a rope!” he proudly announced to the editor, whose $200 jeans he ruined. Then, suddenly embarrassed, he whispered, “Did anyone see me?” before staggering off to the bathroom.
MODEL MISBEHAVIOR
It’s no wonder Naomi Campbell’s maid snapped this week – from the sounds of it, the supermodel’s demands on her staff would drive anyone crazy.
Her personal assistants suffer through duties including:
* Flying across the border to Canada to personally pick up the model’s hair weave from its manufacturers, then bringing the precious wig back as a carry on.
* Making sure the model doesn’t run around naked. One year in Paris, her poor assistant had to drag Campbell into a hotel room after Campbell ran through hotel halls nude following a tryst with Jean Claude Van Dam.
* Acting as her personal valet. Campbell makes her assistants pack and carry all of her luggage.
* Keeping her company at all times. Campbell has a fear of being left alone – and little need for sleep – and expects her assistant to be available at all hours. Meanwhile, the embattled Campbell last week hired Jennifer Lopez’s former crisis manager Rob Shuter at Dan Klores Associates to handle her latest PR distaster.
THEY’RE TWO CHEAP
Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen might be the richest teens in Hollywood, but they are refusing to pay relatively small costs on their massive new West Village apartment.
The tiny twosome are balking at paying $100,000 for basic “tenant improvement” work they demanded – mere pennies compared to the $7.3 million that they are paying for their West Street space.
The work involves such things as building and painting walls.
“They are so rich; I just can’t believe they are arguing over this! Especially when they are already spending so much on the apartment,” one source involved said.
The mega-rich teens, whose company pulls in over $1 billion a year, decided to buy up the 15th floor of the Morton Square building due to privacy concerns – combining four penthouses into a single monster apartment measuring 5,725 square feet. They are even building a separate lounge in their apartment for their security detail to hang out in.
The Dualstars won’t be the only celebs in the building when they do move in: their neighbors will include grown-ups artist Chuck Close and New York Ranger Eric Lindros.
SKINNY DRIPPING
The rich kids at the Young Patrons of Guild Hall Summer Gala benefit last Saturday got more than they paid for – a free strip show with their lobster dinners.
The event was held at an empty East Hampton house rented especially for the occasion and featured a 1930s German burlesque theme.
Hired performers clad only in skimpy red underwear and feather headresses wandered the party entertaining the crowd. But one dancer apparently thought guests including Chris Heinz, TV anchor Gigi Stone, designer Cynthia Rowley and Russian heiress Anna Anisimova, were far too buttoned up. The long-haired blonde suddenly stripped down and plunged into the pool at the end of her official performance.
Then, dripping wet and clad only with a few well-placed tattoos, she headed straight for the middle of the crowd huddled by the buffet tables. “Uh, gross!” exclaimed some guests while others ran to get a better look. Two men seized on the occasion to chat her up, ignoring dirty stares from girls in party dresses around them.
Other performers, in skin-tight leopard costumes, also seemed to have a different kind of party in mind. They hid in the dark before attacking shocked guests like wild animals.
SOCCER TO ‘EM
The girls at Vogue are so scared of being losers they’ve recruited ringers from other magazines for their soccer team.
They’ve tapped players from other Conde Nast publications such as Gourmet – and even recruited a computer technician – to don their stylish jerseys. So far it’s worked: the team trounced Real Simple magazine.
Fans can watch the team strut their stuff at Riverside Park the next few Monday nights – when they deign to play against Esquire, Cosmo Girl, VH-1 and indie publication L magazine.
INSTANT MESSAGES
* Miami royalty Jennifer Lopez and husband Marc Anthony made the rounds the other night, stopping in at the Shore Club and hot restaurant Rumi. Contrary to other reports, however, Lopez, who doesn’t drink, was downing cans of the energy drink Liquid Ice instead of alcohol.
* Gorgeous singer Ben Jelen is trying to jump to the small screen. He’s been in talks with WB producers for the role of The Flash in their “Smallville” series. Meanwhile, ABC has been talking to him about writing the theme song for an upcoming sitcom aimed at teens.
* Chris Noth, David Wells, Jesse Bradford, actor Simon Rex, and DJ Samantha Ronson have all been convinced to invest in new Meatpacking District club NA, slated to open in the old Nell’s space the first week in September. Members will have to go through a Soho Club-style vetting process – or just befriend an owner – to get the key chains which guarantee entry. The club is slated to open the first week in September.
* Ethan Hawke must be a lonely man. The star spent last Sunday night downing drinks alone at the Trailer Park bar in Chelsea. After a while, he called up a gal pal to keep him company in the cups. When the woman showed up, she plopped down on a stool and threw her leg over Hawke “like a dog,” said an onlooker. The two closed down the bar.
