After a brief and stormy marriage to a philandering NY business man, Real Housewives of New York City star Luann de Lesseps has been finding comfort with her ex boyfriend Jacques Azouley.
The two have reportedly “remained friends”, and been seen a few times out in the Hamptons. Azouley also found some solo time to join the Southampton community in supporting the Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation for a Shop-a-thon in the Village.
Participating stores gave percentages of the sales to support the community shelter, along with generous philanthropist Jean Shafiroff hosting a book signing of her own; Successful Philanthropy: How to Make a Life By What You Give at J. McLaughlin where she donated 100% of the book sales for the day to the shelter.

Raffle items from: Christopher Fischer, Corwin’s Jeweler, Juice Press, Second Nature Markets, Sisal Wholesale Rug Store, Tamara Comolli and Twist.

Among the first to arrive were the Mayor’s youngest brother, Bernard Adams, and his vivacious wife, Sharon. Cocktails were served in her new speakeasy and podcast bar located at the rear of her eponymous shoe boutique.

On display were Greta Garbo’s slippers, Turkish wood and mother of pearl bathing platforms, Sioux beaded leggings and moccasins (c. 1890), Chinese lotus shoes, Arlene Dahl‘s mary-janes, gold Versace sneakers donated by Danny Wegman, and a pair of the Mayor’s own dress shoes.

Warner Bros. new kid flick ‘The Lego Movie’ was a big hit with the stars and their families at the Los Angeles premiere.
‘The Lego Movie’ about an ordinary LEGO minifigure, mistakenly thought to be the extraordinary MasterBuilder, is recruited to join a quest to stop an evil LEGO tyrant from gluing the universe together.
Hunky star of the film Chris Pratt who co-stars opposite Will Ferrell, celebrated the day with wife actress Anna Faris. Will Ferrell was seen with his kids but unfortunately Pratt and Faris’s one-year old son Jack had to stay home. Hopefully, Pratt will do a sequel in a few years and his kid can attend.
