| Web attack on surgeon starts battle
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Georgette Gilbert was at a low point in her life. At 33 and having recently broken up with a long-time boyfriend, she was feeling insecure about being single and looking older. At least that's how the California woman describes her motives for undergoing facial plastic surgery on her Web site, www.mysurgerynightmare.com. Dr. Jonathan Sykes, the University of California, Davis surgeon who performed the operation, believes that Gilbert's tale, as revealed online - complete with before-and-after photographs - is riddled with false and misleading statements and is defamatory. He filed a lawsuit to squelch Gilbert's online commentary. Four years, several court filings and a medical malpractice lawsuit later, Gilbert's Web site is still up and running.
Did You Hear the One About Tara Reid and the
Everyone has a favorite Tara Reid story. Whether she's falling down drunk in front of a night club or seriously botching her numbers during a count down to '07, the tabloids seem to love raking Tara over the coals… Exactly how long did they run with that whole “breast popping out of dress at movie premiere" photo? But I can't really sit in judgment of Tara. Granted, I don't have cameras following me everywhere I go, but had they been by my side for the past few years, America might have seen a whole lot of stumbling, a fair share of slurred speech and at least one New Years Party that found me making the rounds, sticking my tongue down the throat of every guest in sight. Hollywood party train aside, that Tara is nowhere to be found this blustery afternoon as we keep cozy in a lounge on the ground floor of a lodge in Park City, Utah, home to the famed Sundance Film Festival.

Slick mags for the big wheels
As yet another magazine about the Main Line debuts this month, one has to ask: Just how much do rich people want to read about themselves? Are there enough party pictures and plastic-surgery ads even in an area as wealthy as the Main Line to fill these competing paeans to the good life? Mainline, the Art+Culture+Lifestyle Magazine, launched its premiere issue last week at a packed party at Susanna Foo Gourmet Kitchen in Radnor. It took an energetic bang on the restaurant's gong to quiet the crowd - a sea of dark suits and tasteful black dresses - so publisher Andrew Cantor could describe this venture, which "celebrates the art of living in the Main Line." Cantor, who also owns a graphic-design firm in New Hope, sees his bimonthly magazine as a sophisticated, sleek alternative to the slightly more staid Main Line Today; the broader, snarkier Philadelphia Magazine; and LifeStyle Main Line magazine, which launched in September.
