NY Daily News Blind Item
What designer's grandson was a "tiny terror" at Super Saturday in the Hamptons last weekend? As Lorraine Bracco, Christy Turlington, Kelly Ripa and 1,500 others shopped at the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund benefit, "The kid was a category 5 tornado," one shocked shopper tells us, "knocking over clothing and displays." He then lifted a woman's dress, and, the source adds: "Neither his mother nor a nanny bothered to intercede. [The mom] didn't seem the slightest bit embarrassed." Finally, after several hours of misdeeds, the child was taken home.
Was this Billy Joel's kid? Hamptonites...
ReplyDeleteSounds like most of the privileged kids I've seen these days. I risk their parents' wrath by speaking up. I can't tolerate parents smiling while their kids tear things apart. I have 3 kids, and they turned out just fine while still hearing the occasional "No" and being led firmly away from a place where they couldn't control their behavior.
ReplyDeleteBilly Joel doesn't have a five year old.
ReplyDeleteDonna Karan seems to be well-liked by the stars, is she a Grandma?
How 'bout Ralph Lauren?
Billy Joel isn't a DESIGNER.
ReplyDeleteKid has obviously never heard the word no (or did his mother). It's a great word and it works - ask my kids.
ReplyDeleteYou're early Ent....got court today?
Aren't Joel's kids 'designers'? In that same way that say some celeb gets a honorary degree... anyway - going to go with a Lauren-ite...
ReplyDeleteRalph Lauren has four kids, three of whom are (cough) in my age range, which makes them plenty old enough to have kids of their own. I don't know whether any of them DO have kids of their own, though...
ReplyDeleteI can't think of any other well-known designers who could have grandchildren. Does Anna Wintour count as a "designer"?
GAWD, I wish people would control their children!
ReplyDeleteDon't know who this is, but they should punished. Maybe a pummeling with hundreds of tiny fists, while, "It's a Small World" plays in the background.
Donna karan.. Gabrielle pics are posted on the style.com at this event. Didn't see any other well-known clothing desginers there
ReplyDelete"several HOURS of misdeeds"??? who would have their kid out in the sun that long? that was by far the HOTTEST super saturday ever.
ReplyDeletecalvin klein...
ReplyDeletetommy hilfiger...
it was actually Tom n Katie. GMD forgot his lifts and threw a hissy.
ReplyDeleteDonna Karan has seven grandkids.
ReplyDeleteMy money is on Donna Karan or DVF.
ReplyDeleteBilly Joel has 1 daughter--Alexa Ray, & she is in her 20's.
ReplyDeleteBut why torture a kid at something like this? Get a playdate or something!
What everyone else said: And in the child's defense, he was probably bored out his skull.
ReplyDeleteI have two kids under five. I am a tough disciplinarian. But I also know that most normal children misbehave when they are hungry, thirsty, tired or bored. I will not tolerate meanness or disrespect, but I also cut some slack when they've had to miss a nap, or they've been confined to their carseats for three hours.
Still, I think more parents need to be tougher.
I can think of at least 20 designers that have grandchildren, but I am going with Betsy Johnson's little joy.
ReplyDeleteIt was a benefit, which is no place for small children. Mom gets a spanking.
ReplyDeleteUghhh the source is obviously uneducated.. "Category 5 Tornado"
ReplyDeleteTornadoes are rated on an EF 0-5 scale. Hurricanes are rated by Categories 1-5. Common knowledge people come on! LMAO
moonmaid, it's not just the privileged. doesn't seem to matter what class they come from. as someone who's not too steady on my feet (not to mention a fall could be pretty bad news for me) i'm constantly tormented by the monstrous behavior of other people's children. ESPECIALLY those wearing those damned roller shoes in markets and what not.
ReplyDeletei was raised to be polite and calm in public, as were my kids. i just don't get it.
