Michelle Trachtenberg Anti-Bullying Alliance 'Be A Star'

Michelle Trachtenberg, the girl we are used to seeing play Georgina Sparks on Gossip Girl, is changing things up with a guest spot on Weeds.  If you don’t get HBO, get it!  This show is great!

She is set to play “Emma,” who is a sexy, intelligent, low-level, pot-dealing rival to Nancy (series star Mary-Louise Parker) who catches Silas’ (Hunter Parrish) eye in two episodes of the series.

Did you catch the premiere last night?  So good!!!

Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Ashley Greene, Kelly Ripa, Christie Brinkley, Matthew Settle, Rachel Zoe and lots of other celebrities attended the annual Super Saturday 13 designer auction to Benefit Ovarian Cancer Research Fund.

The event was  hosted by InStyle Magazine at Nova’s Ark Project in Water Mill, New York. QVC streamed the event live in case like me your invitation was ‘lost’ in the mail.

I would give up a kidney to get to go to this annual event and then when I saw that Mark Feuerstein was there, I would have totally thrown in a lung.

Christie Brinkley looks very ‘refreshed’ and by refreshed I mean perhaps those rumours of her hitting the plastic surgeon may very well be true.  As TMZ would ask: good genes or good docs? Meow.

Rapper Drake (real name Aubrey Graham) attended Bing’s Celebration of Creative Minds after party at BOA restaurant in Los Angeles last night.  Drake of course is coming off of his win and performance at the Much Music Video Awards that took place Sunday.

Word is he also took a liking to Jersey Shore’s Snooki which to say surprises me would be the understatement of the year. Drake is talented, young, hot and like 6’2″ or something and Snooki is 4’9″ I believe, and well you know as much as you need to know about her. I’m sure she’s nice and all and It’s not so much the height difference but more the ‘professional talent’ differences.

Apparently he was flirting with her backstage and even invited her to his after party. The door security turned her away from said party and Drake was not too pleased about that.  This ‘connection’ ranks right up there with the Eli Roth and Peaches Geldof relationship.  Seriously, WTF? I don’t get it.

Also at last night’s after party:

• Nicole Richie
• Michelle Trachtenberg
• Zoe Saldana
• Devon Aoki
• Maria Menounos
• Ryan Seacrest
• Elizabeth Banks

Sex and The City 2 had it’s world premiere last night in New York City to a frenzy no doubt.  There were almost 500 pictures of the event and can you believe the only one that showed Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis together was this one showing part of SJP’s ass hanging out?  And Kristin Davis isn’t even visible either.  But there are lots of other pictures where you can see the ladies.

The movie opens Friday and everyone seems to be bursting at the seams waiting for it.  The men of Sex and The City also attended the premiere:  Mario Cantone, Willie Garson, Chris Noth, John Corbett, Jason Lewis, and Gilles Marini.

This was one majorly star-studded premiere with a ton of celebrities attending.  The list is way too long to include everyone but here are some of the attendees:

• Jennifer Love Hewitt
• Valentino
• Michelle Trachtenberg
• Whitney Port
• Wendy Williams
• Padma lakshmi
• Bo Derek
• Alessandra Ambrosio
• Orianthi
• Sarah Paulson
• Johnny Weir

I’m sure he’s a very nice man, and talented no doubt, but Valentino needs to stop dunking his head in the bronzer.  I’m just saying.

Zac Posen celebrated the launch of his Zac Posen For Target collection yesterday in New York where Claire Danes, Selma Blair and Parker Posey wore outfits which retail for $70, $80 and $60 respectively.  Doesn’t it make a lot of sense to make outfits and price them to appeal to the masses as opposed to ‘designer’ prices that fewer can afford?

I believe a few of his guests (if not all) are wearing his collection.  To see some other items from his collection you can view them here.

Also attending the celebration:

• Olivia Palermo
• Mena Suvari
• Ginnifer Goodwin
• Maggie Gyllenhaal
• Michelle Trachtenberg
• Kelly Bensimon
