The Cinema Society Presents “500 Days Of Summer”
July 10, 2009
Thursday July 9, 2009 – Tribeca Grand Screening Room
Thursday evening, The Cinema Society gave New Yorkers a break from the current spate of explosive blockbusters hosting a screening, sponsored by Brooks Brothers and Cotton Incorporated, of the quirky romantic comedy “500 Days of Summer.” The film follows the bittersweet courtship of Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and Summer (Zooey Deschanel) through its various crests and falls, complete with a poppy soundtrack. And though Deschanel was a last minute no-show (she had to fly to Ireland for a part), she addressed the crowd‹including leighton meester, ashley springer, camille kelsey, grammer kelsey, christina hendricks, geoffrey arend, Jason Wu, Hilary Rhoda, Bebe Neuwirth, Miranda Kerr and Lorenzo Martone‹at the Tribeca Grand’s screening room in a short video.
Despite the movie narrator’s early declaration “This is not a love story,” guests at the after-party in the Soho Grand’s Yard couldn’t help but muse about any summer dalliances of their own (the seasonal variety, that is).

We thought the ultimate evening party was at the Balthazar restaurant followed by the Bungalow, well the hottest party happened yesterday night at The Box,
Topshop opened thursday morning. school girls and fashionistas have been waiting for the store opening since 8 am. Topshop treated their first client like vip’s giving away cheese and bottles of water
“This is it” said Topshop owner Sir Philip Green, upon which he and Kate Moss came out at the top of a box as a gift for photographers.
Were mostly here to see Kate and her new collection confessed a group of girls.
According to Kelly Klein. “These are the clothes we all want to buy right now. It’s cool and young, and cheap.”
“Cheap” for Miss Klein but the school girl’s faces became less joyful as soon as they discovered the price tags.
“is there any special for the opening, discounts?” asked a girl o a sale assistant, the sales person said “no and we won’t be doing the every 3 weeks price reductions that you see often in other similar retail stores“. Ouch!
The store hosted a succession of celebs one after another: Jennifer Lopez, Steve Wynn, Rosario Dawson, Ron Perelman, Poppy Delevigne, Julia Restoin Roitfeld, Olivia Palermo, Lily Donaldson, June Sarpong, Jason Wu, Jane Wogan, Genevieve Garner, Chloe Green, Debbie Harry carrying a Stephen Sprouse Roses Monogram Louis Vuitton Clutch, Daria Werbowy, Daria, Daphne Guiness, Beth Ostrosky, Bee Shaffer, Alexander Wang, Zoe Kravitz, Veronica Webb, Lorenzo Martone with Marc Jacobs freshly back from their brazilian honeymoon, Marc Anthony, Jennifer Hudson, James Blunt. They were all AMAZED by the store…
After the dinner Jennifer Hudson took the mic for her paid appearance (a rumored $130,000), at the end of the performance she said: “I wish they made bigger shopping bags at Topshop because I want everything!”
