Those attending Ja Rule’s now-canceled Fyre Festival were promised “a cultural moment created from a blend of music, art and food.” What they got was decidedly a failure on all fronts—perhaps most notably with the food.
The two-weekend event in the Bahamas touted “a uniquely authentic island cuisine experience,” with “local seafood, Bahamian-style sushi and even a pig roast.” It was also allegedly said to be catered by Stephen Starr, the massively successful restauranteur behind New York City’s Upland, Morimoto, and Le Coucou, to name a few—but both Starr and the catering company he sold in 2015, Starr Events,...

They were promised luxury accommodations, private beaches, and “the best in food, art, music and adventure.” But ticket holders to the first-ever Fyre Festival got anything but on Thursday, as they were dropped into an environment described by one attendee as having “barely any food or water or security or electricity” before the event was finally postponed indefinitely.
The new immersive music festival was billed as the next Coachella — set over “two transformative weekends” on the private Bahaman island of Fyre Cay, once inhabited by Blackbeard and Pablo Escobar. Created by Ja Rule and entrepreneur Billy McFarland, tickets for the...

Madonna organized a little power dinner last night at swanky NYC sushi spot Morimoto — and she brought her boyfriend Jesus Luz and gal pal Jessica Seinfeld!
HollywoodLife.com was there, and saw the trio arrive at 10:55 pm, along with a small entourage (minus Jerry Seinfeld!) The group was quickly ushered to a table in the back of the high end Japanese restaurant, headed by Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto and restaurateur Stephen Starr.
Madge and Jessica are actually great friends, and Madonna even went on Jerry’s show The Marriage Ref! Restaurant staffers were guarding their area, and not letting anyone get near their back area. Madge was wearing a verrry short red and black horizontal stripped dress and black boots, and her hair was wavy. Madonna and her Bff Jessica even wore matching knee-high boots!
One spy at the restaurant saw Jesus in the men’s bathroom,...

A daytime party at the Surf Lodge. From PatrickMcMullan.com. Is Montauk becoming the Miami Beach of the North? About 80 years ago, Carl Fisher, the entrepreneur who turned Miami Beach into the flashy resort town that it is today, set his sights on Montauk, the sleepy surfing community that sits about three hours east of New York City at the end of the Long Island Rail Road line. Hoping to turn Montauk into a power players’ playground, Fisher built Montauk Yacht Club in 1928, and the Jazz Age glitterati—Vincent Astor, J. P. Morgan, Harold S. Vanderbilt, and Nelson Doubleday, among others—jumped on board as founding members. Even Charles Lindbergh docked his seaplane at the marina. Then came the stock-market crash of 1929 and the Great Depression, which left Fisher penniless, and Montauk escaped virtually unscathed. Until last summer, when the Surf Lodge came to town.
