The Sexiest 60 Seconds of the US Open Men's Final

Matt Cherette · 09/12/11 06:01PM

While Serena "Not the One" Williams searches Flushing Meadows for the umpire she went ballistic on yesterday, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal are currently squaring off in the US Open's men's final. But no matter the match's outcome, nothing will top the unintentionally nasty commentary by Mary Carillo, Dick Enberg and John McEnroe. Here's a minute-long highlight reel of the dirty talk, with a quick cut to sexy parents-to-be Jay-Z and Beyoncé built in for good measure.

Art Collectors Not Enticed by Bernie Portrait

cityfile · 03/05/09 08:26AM

So everyone knows that the art world's in the doldrums, that even deep-pocketed collectors are holding off buying, and that the only reason people even show up to art openings anymore is to quaff the free champagne. But you'd think that a seven foot-wide portrait of a smirking Bernie Madoff, priced at a mere $100,000, would have some takers, right? Strangely not: Disappointingly for the artist Yan Pei-Ming, his masterpiece, on sale at the Armory Show which kicked off yesterday at the West Side Piers, has so far attracted no interest.

Art Show Gala a Predictable Bust

News that won't be surprising to anyone: The art world is still steeped in gloom, as evidenced by the scene at last night's opening gala for the Art Show at the Park Avenue Armory. The benefit, which used to be sponsored by Lehman Brothers and be a riot of hedge funders dropping millions on pieces to add to their collections, was attended by the likes of Donald Marron, Steve Schwarzman, John McEnroe, Glenn Lowry, Agnes Gund, and Michael Ovitz, but still saw "meager" sales.

Nice Timing, John

Poor Tatum O'Neal: Just a couple of weeks after she was busted for trying to buy crack, her ex-husband John McEnroe is so eager to rid himself of all reminders of their marriage that he's selling a 20-year-old Warhol portrait of the two of them. The former "superbrat" of tennis hopes to get $790,000 for the painting when it goes under the hammer at Sotheby's in London on July 1st. He says he plans to give the money to Habitat for Humanity. Which we're sure is a pure and noble gesture and not at all a PR tactic to cast him in as different a light as possible to the recovering addict mother of his kids.

Former Comeback Kid Tatum O'Neal Comes Back Again (To Crack, That Is)

Molly Friedman · 06/02/08 12:25PM

Back in October 2004, Tatum O’Neal was a sobriety success story, having written a successful memoir after apparently conquering a drug addiction so intense that it made Stevie Nicks's habit look pithy. But as the NY Post reports, O’Neal was arrested by the NYPD last night while allegedly buying crack and cocaine just blocks away from her luxury apartment in Manhattan's Lower East Side. When she was busted, the actress supposedly claimed she was pulling a Mendes and researching a bit for an upcoming junkie role. Apparently, her research was tres Method — she was even carrying a crack pipe on her (but it was “clean!”, she said). Even more embarrassing? She reached for the age-old and very dusty “Don’t you know who I am?” in an attempt to get the cops to look the other way. But the cops didn’t bite, and O’Neal, along with her dealer, were taken to the clink. After the jump, we scoured her memoir of recovery to figure out why she may have gone back to the "glamorous" world of drugs.

Another Uptown Big Money Gallery Hits The Skids

Choire · 10/03/07 04:56PM

Today's Page Six announced cheerily that uptown art dealer Larry Salander has put a $100-million price tag on a Caravaggio. But they don't mention that the old uptown dealership is in full-on crisis: At least 15 lawsuits have been filed against Salander O'Reilly in the last year. Even for a neighborhood filled with galleries that are accustomed to regular legal wranglings and late payments (and rents that run to $200K a month), this is nuts. How bad are things? Larry Salander got sued by John McEnroe, the godfather to one of his children. Youch!
