Will Ferrell In Town for Talledega Nights

He may have been strange about having his picture taken at the airport but Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly were in excellent form for last night’s film premiere in Sydney which saw the city’s most energetic party-goers including Tom Williams ready for their moment on the red carpet.

Nokia 8800 Launch - Centennial Park

They’re calling it the new Cointreau Ball. The launch of the Nokia top of the line Sirocco mobile was definitely one of the most ambitious parties hosted in Sydney for some time. It involved a huge marquee being set up in the middle of the park and 11 hugely creative types including Catherine Martin aka Mrs Baz Luhrmann, style guru Collete Garnsey, fab knitter, John Macarthur and uber gardener, Jamie Durie creating their own table settings and guest lists. There were different themes for every table. Jamie’s guests on the Land Rover table sat on a giant swings over a water feature, Stefano Canturi’s were bedecked with diamonds (he had two security guards on standby) - there were tables filled with antiques from Country Trader and dead animal skin rugs on the Hermes environment.

Huge coup of the night was the appearance of Lachlan and Sarah Murdoch on Catherine Martin’s table. “It’s the first time we’ve been out to a party like this in ages, ‘’ Sarah said. “And I can’t believe we’re here for a phone launch.'’ Sexiest couple of the night was Manon Youdale and new boyfriend, Jean Philippe Carriol (who was to have married his American Korean fiancee earlier this year before it was all called off), Manon and JP were spotted passionately kissing behind John Macarthur’s kitsch 1950s kitchen setting. The most outrageous identity was Vogue’s Grant Pearce in an out of Africa getup, who kept table hopping with a sword in his hand.

Channel Seven 50 Years of TV, Sunday Night Star City

An extremely well organised event at Star City - the best thing about Seven’s gala evening - besides looking at all the frocks, was seeing where everyone was seated. Holly Brisley made it onto station boss David Leckie’s ringside table, while Kerry Stokes was surrounded by a group of serious looking businessman including someone who seemed to be the scintillating Paul Ramsay but I only got to see the back of his head. George Negus and his partner, Kirsty Cockburn, were on my table in the dress circle, along with Lindy Chamberlain, Simone Logue (who was very sweet and soft) and her partner, Harry M. Miller and then wait for it, David Oldfield in a white dinner suit (puhleese). “Aren’t you sitting a bit far back, Harry?'’ said a jovial Peter Fitzsimons.

They had really tried hard with the meals - a lobster cocktail which tasted of - nothing . “I think lobster is very over-rated, don’t you? asked Simone Logue. “I just like catching them in lobster pots.'’ The main course was a chicken dish which she did approve of and there was a huge platter of cheese for pudding. The sparkling wine was by Croser, the white wine was from Preece.

Apparently a lot of the action was happening behind the scenes where a young star refused four complete changes of frocks before someone was despatched to find another one for her in station’s wardrobe room. They should have had Alex Perry’s sewing machine on standby.
