There were shoppers in tee-shirts on Fifth Avenue yesterday around noontime of the next to the last day in November.  I guess it was warm enough but they probably shudda worn something a little warmer, don’t you think?

I went over to ... guess where? ... Michael’s -- where it was so crowded that if they turned the decibels (our voices) up one more notch  the neighbors probably wudda been yellin’ for the cops. Gawd, people can talk, especially the media.

Yes, it's she, beautiful and famous Cameron Diaz, at the luncheon in her honor organized by Peggy Siegal at Michael's yesterday. People were doing double-takes: "is that Cameron Diaz?" So which do you prefer? The Blonde or the Raven-haired?

In the center of the room there was a little Peggy Siegal luncheon organized for Cameron Diaz and Nancy Meyers celebrating the new film “The Holiday” starring Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law and Jack Black, and written, directed and produced by Nancy Meyers. Ms. Meyers told me it took a year to write and a year to make. And now she’s ready for a break.

Diane Sawyer, Barbara Walters, Cynthia McFadden, Lesley Stahl, elbow to elbow with Miss Diaz (who’s sporting black tresses as of yesterday afternoon), Gayle King, Joy Behar, Robin Roberts, Campbell Brown, Martha Nelson of People Magazine; Natalie Morales, Darlene Rodriguez and Amy Pascal, Chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment.  And then some.  I’d brought my digital along and got some pictures of the aforementioned, although I missed some.

The long table which ran through the center of the front room was also the center of the attention for the entire restaurant. All those stars, all that personality, and all that six and seven and even eight figure income among the ladies. My my.
