Another Reason to Avoid the Club Scene
Page Six reported yesterday of an interesting fracas at Chelsea club Stereo: Entertainment Tonight correspondent and MTV VJ Vanessa Minnillo was pleasantly dancing with her posse of cleavage-happy gals when model Tyson Beckford started dancing with her, no doubt showing off his professional-level freak skills. Gossip blogger Mario Lavandeira, ever-ready to fetch drinks and defend the honor of various C-listers, saw Beckford's unwanted advances and intervened, putting a "cool" on Beckford's "steam." The two almost came to blows. Over Vanessa Minnillo. Oh, the woes of holiday gossip.
Anywho: the entire night (complete with photo documentation courtesy of Lavandeira) probably won't bode well with Entertainment Tonight execs. The suits are rumored to be less than thrilled with Millanno, whose personal life is overshadowing her compelling reporter persona. See, they don't want her to be a celebrity — they want her to be journalist. In which case they might want to rethink their entire show.
