Here's Oscar-nominated artist/director Julian Schnabel with Ed Burns and Christy Turlington. He's hot shit because he's nominated for an Oscar this year for his movie "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly". But he's also hot shit because he received AmFar's Award of Courage for selling millions of dollars of his artwork and donating it to AIDS research, etc. AmFar had a gala the other night, hosted by Marc Jacobs, Kenneth Cole and Lou Reed. Barry Manilow played! I'm not a Fanilow, but others are and hearing "Mandy" while getting drunk on expensive champage sounds like a good time to me. Other Award of Courage recipients included French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld and Bobby Shriver, chief executive of RED.

Schnabel is also hot shit because he heckled Sean Young very nicely when she (drunkenly) tried to heckle him.
DK says:
Schnabel is insanely talented
and hot--if you don't know what
he's all about you're missing out.
Any Hunky sexy artist who walks around
NY in bathrobes, skirts, jackets, and
surfs and directs and makes all of us think
in new ways is THE MAN .
Yummy.
