Va, Va, Va- Vivienne!

Never mind that Lilith, the iciest of all of television's repressed ladies, wouldn't be caught dead in anything as slinky as a Vivienne Tam number. That certainly didn't stop actress Bebe Neuwirth from coming out to support Tam as she unveiled her fall 2009 collection at her store in SoHo tonight. Also in the house was Bachelor bachelor Prince Lorenzo Borghese. This year's line was inspired by the idea of "nothingness," says the designer. She explains: "During this period of global economic turmoil, the idea of the return to a state of emptiness and simplicity from which to renew our lives seemed particularly timely."

Calling All Kellys

woody.jpg In honor of St. Patrick's Day, New York media mecca Michael's will be buzzing with good Irish cheer tonight, at the fifth annual Kelly Gang Benefit. Among the many Kellys expected include Keith Kelly of the New York Post, NFL hall-of-famer Jim Kelly, New York City police commisioner Ray Kelly, novelist Tom Kelly, Ed Kelly of American Express, Time Inc.'s managing editor, Jim Kelly, and House Beautiful publisher Kate Kelly Smith. No word on whether Kelly Ripa will make an appearance. The dinner fete will raise money for Hunter's Hope, a charity dedicated to fighting Krabbe's Disease, the genetic blood disorder that claimed the life of eight-year-old Hunter Kelly, son of footballer Jim Kelly, in 2005. Having so many Kellys in one place would have been a dream come true for Woody Boyd , the television bartender who famously composed the "Kelly Song." He and others would be "cheered" to know, however, that one needn't be a Kelly—or even Irish—to attend. Walk-in ticket buyers are welcome, starting at 6:30 p.m.
