Tuesday is the New Monday: Andy Cohen teases about his big night at Mr. Chow, and atop the Standard Hotel with Madonna and others.

Last night was way too eventful for a Tuesday, and it's got me thinking that Tuesday might be the new Monday, which as we know took over for Thursday as the new Friday a few years ago. Anyway, it started at the 30th Anniversary party for Mr. Chow on 57th Street. The NYC outpost of Mr. Chow, if you haven't been, is littered with art world A-Listers and is a delicious (and pricey) treat. (The L.A. version is a hive of paparazzi and Lisa Rinna-esque peeps).

So I went to the party because Miss China Chow invited me and if that lady picks up her phone to invite me somewhere, I'm there. (You will be hearing more about her really soon.) I spoke to Hedda Hopper, I mean Cindy Adams, and I am a wee bit wondering what I said.

From there I went to the Boom Boom Room atop the Standard for the Valentino party. I have said it before and I will keep saying it until they throw me out — this room is the best new place to open in NYC in the 19 years that I've lived here. It was a really dramatic and entertaining time up there last night! And I am not blogging the particulars because it was messy and private. I will tell you that Valentino told me he saw a piece of the Atlanta Reunion (Whaa? Huh?) and had some insightful and hilarious observations which I shall not print. Furthermore, we danced with Madonna and chatted her up for quite a while about a lot of things that I just can't report. (I know that is lame).

So this morning I am just DOWN about this vote in Maine banning gay marriage. Sad. At what point, I wonder, will it seem antiquated to legislate who we can and cannot LOVE? This is a heartbreaking defeat.

In other "news," I don't know what's more unbelieveable: that Orso in Los Angeles is closing or that The New York Times wrote a huge article about it.

Oh and I would like you to know that tonight is a GREAT Top Chef Special! It is a hybrid reunion show/challenge situation hosted by the adorable Fabio Viviani. It is big drama, too. You are going to love this show.

Wh- wh- wh- what? Fabio is fabulous and I could watch him everyday. I enjoyed the Top Chef reunion if only to see my boy Hung. Right about Marcel though. He can go away.

Don't let Maine get you down. It's only a temporary state of affairs. "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change."

Maine can suck it.

Sorry to say you were wrong about the Top Chef special -- it was awful. I can't believe this mess came from the same producers of such a quality series. What a tense, awkward, humorless hour. And Fabio didn't come out looking very good. I hope he has kinder editors on his own show.

p.s. Marcel was never entertaining. Now he is just painful to watch. Please, please stop bringing him back. You're only encouraging him.

Like the one for this blog today....it's 2 people dancing, but I don't know who? Is there a way to fix it? When we click on your daily blog the picture you have posted doesn't appear....just your face (which is great, but).

And yet they are so rural and unhelpful. If you ask for directions, they reply; "You can't get there from here"...

: 11/04/2009 - 5:27pm; Tom G; I guess we have to call the situation in Maine for what it is..legalized bigotry!.
BTW if we left all civil rights issues to popular vote, no black president..no inter-racial couples..still would be riding the back of the bus.

p.s. that is lame you can't report about your chats with Madonna and Valentino!? you can't casually say, "oh just chatted with Madonna and Valentino for a while last night." and not say what about! Come on Andy, you're such a tease! haha jkjk kind of..
Im excited for the Top Chef special it looks intense so I'll definitely be DVRing that!
Thanks for the always entertaining insight of THE good life!
