You'd think that for an 18-year-old with unlimited financial resources, a foolproof fake ID would be a must. Apparently not. Robby Cohen, the son of airport concession mogul Robert Cohen and the nephew of the late Claudia Cohen (which also makes him the former nephew of billionaire Ron Perelman) headed down to Florida for Thanksgiving weekend where he was busted in Palm Beach on Sunday after the police caught him ordering a rum and coke at the restaurant Nick & Johnny.

Happy Birthday!

If you happen to work in the Conde Nast building, might we suggest stopping off at Graydon Carter's office to wish him a happy birthday? The Vanity Fair editor turns 59 today. He'll be so pleased to accept your good wishes.

Cohen oversees Hudson News, the largest chains of newspaper and magazine stores in the country. If you've been in an airport, you've shopped at one of Cohen's ubiquitous news outlets. His sister was gossip columnist Claudia Cohen, who passed away in 2007.
