It was a night of a hundred stars including Leonardo DiCaprio, Adriana Lima, A-Rod, Donna Karan, Len Blavatnik, Jeremy Scott, Natasha Poly, Alexander Gilkes, P. Diddy, Calvin Klein, Ron Burkle and David Blaine, who smirked as he swallowed a broken wineglass. They all played a role in this night of fun, performance and mischief. <\/span><strong>Donald Trump\u2019s Bed-<\/strong> After The Late Late Show host James Corden introduced hilarious sets by Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock, Madonna came back and confessed, \u201cDating is hard. It\u2019s weird to think the love of your life might not even be born yet,\u201d adding, \u201cI\u2019m very single and haven\u2019t had sex in a long time,\u201d before she launched into an inspired set that ranged from her own \u201cHoliday\u201d to Britney Spears\u2019 \u201cToxic,\u201d as pictures of The Donald flashed behind her. The Queen of Pop revealed, \u201cI\u2019ve been in Donald Trump\u2019s bed,\u201d but professed it was \u201conly for a magazine shoot and Trump wasn\u2019t there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Three Hundred-<\/strong> The evening felt like a private affair because 80 percent of the 300 people already knew each other. Tickets ranged from $5,000 (no guarantee of a seat) to $150,000 for a table, but don\u2019t quibble: you got a single plate of French fries (to share) as the only course. Madonna closed the four-hour extravaganza saying, \u201cThey think I\u2019m controversial, but the most controversial thing I\u2019ve done is stick around for 34 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Marchesa Takes Gstaad-<\/strong> Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman and Harvey Weinstein had a dinner for director Quentin Tarantino at Gstaad\u2019s Palace Hotel, which at 104 remains the life and soul of the village. Patricia and Henry Hay\u2019s dashing son, Julian Hay, lead the young set to the hotel\u2019s notorious GreenGo nightclub, where all the ritzy students from Le Rosey dance until dawn.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cheers At Doubles-<\/strong> Hilary Geary and Wilbur Ross got more attention than Santa Claus at Jay and Anne Hearst McInerney and George Farias\u2019 festive party at Doubles.Ross confided they had gotten a house suitable for entertaining in Washington, where he will become secretary of commerce.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Winter Wonderland Ball-<\/strong> Anne Hathaway led the perfumed pack to the New York Botanical Garden\u2019s Winter Wonderland Ball. The night showcased their Holiday Train Show winding through a sprawling landscape of iconic New York landmarks made of natural materials.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Animal Ashram-<\/strong> Cornelia Guest and Leesa Rowland organized a benefit for Animal Ashram, which helps homeless pets find forever families. Miss Guest served a vegan dinner with Urbani truffles for 80, paired with Dom Ruinart champagne and Whispering Angel ros\u00e9.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SOCIAL SAFARI: PARTY OF THE YEAR GSTAAD,VALENTINO, GEORGINA CHAPMAN, BOTANICAL GARDEN, CAROLINA HERRERA, WILBUR ROSS, MADONNA &amp; ANIMAL ASHRAM Tears of a Clown- If [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9546,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1925],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-379","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-column-article"],"acf":{"full_width":false,"header_transparent":false,"header_white":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Avenue February 2017 - R.
