He might be one of the highest-paid DJs in the world, but it seems Mark Ronson could take some disc- spinning tips from his sister Sam. The super-producer stopped by Chinawhite last night to check out his sister's skills ­behind the decks. All was going swimmingly until Mark decided to get up and have a go. Perhaps getting a bit over-excited to be playing for such a packed crowd, he appeared to forget to press the play ­button at the end of one of the tracks. Cue 30 seconds of silence in [...]

The vintage champers was clearly flowing at Karl Lagerfeld's after-show party last night . Lily Allen , who began her night at the fashion soiree, ended up missing her DJ gig at the Klaxons' end-of-tour bash at Kitts. She turned up two hours late and seriously the worse for wear. Lily was scheduled to mix from midnight, but stumbled in at 2.30am clearly unable to perform her duties. Her famous smile was nonexistent as she slurred her words and stumbled around. When asked if she would be taking [...]

Get your mind out of the gutter! We're talking about a party, not a penis. Arf. Karl Lagerfeld's Chanel dinner at Nobu was the hottest ticket in town last night. The rarely seen German designer threw the soiree in honour of the Chanel pre-collection show today. Flamboyantly dressed Karl also used the bash as an excuse to catch up with his impressive list of celebrity pals over an elaborate sushi supper. They included Kate Moss [...]

Sharon Osbourne forked out £23,000 for her daughter Kelly's 23rd birthday party at Maya in Soho on Saturday night. The star-studded crowd of Kelly, Sharon and Jack Osbourne, Kimberly Stewart, Agyness Dean, Mark Ronson, Jodie Harsh, Alex Greenwald and others took over the whole VIP area of Maya, downing bottles of Moët and Belevedere vodka in celebrations for the birthday girl. Kelly, who wore a tiara for the night and a necklace bearing the words "Smelly Kelly", blew out the candles on a giant pink birthday cake as part [...]

Last night I swung by the Sony Walkman hidden house party up in Dalston and ooooh - it was celeb spot central. The multi-story corner house with each fabulous room kitted out in vintage wallpaper, giant bird cages, mounted animal heads, fridges full of red bull and bathtubs full of beer was the perfect place to play host to secret shows from Dizzee Rascal , Hot Chip ,The Sugar Hill Gang and the tyrannically terrible XX [...]

The East End is today recovering from Friday night when it became momentarily infested by a non-indigenous species. No, not rats, but cats, Fat Cats to be precise. The historic Wilton's Music Hall near Wapping was beset by the moneyed and boring imported from their lush Kensington palazzos to "live dangerously" by taking in something artsy fartsy. Quintessentially, the "Bespoke Concierge Service" (i.e. a members club that gets you invited to parties, serves as your trendspotter and picks [...]

By Carrie Gorman, Fashion Editor New York played host to the 4th annual Fashion Rocks concert last night which saw an ecclectic mix of fashion and music royalty celebrate a collaboration of music and catwalk. Entourage actor Jeremy Piven played host to a crowd of style insiders at Radio City Music Hall. Mischa Barton, Ashlee Simpson and Avril Lavinge were among the stars entertained by a string of unlikely duets. Fergie from The Black Eyed Peas sang with Aerosmith's Steve Tyler, Teri Hatcher shared the stage with 50 Cent to introduce Jennifer Lopez [...]

The big event of London tonight is the launch of the Simpsons movie down at the Dome. They've turned the entrance area between the tube and the O2 arena into Springfield. Those clever clogs have even spurned the red carpet in favour of a yellow one. Expect celebs including Gordon Ramsay, Sara Cox, Lily Allen, Vic Reeves, John Terry and Richard and Judy to show up. To test your knowledge of Homer, Bart, Barge and Lisa check out our interview with Matt Groenig Plus: [...]

Wednesday night was celeb central as I partied with Dita Von Teese, Steven Tyler and Desperate Housewives heartthrob Jesse Metcalfe at the MAC Viva Glam party at the Bloomsbury Ballroom. The champagne flowed as Dita performed her risqué burlesque act, during which she straddled a huge lipstick. After her show, I chatted with the legendary Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler who was amazingly friendly and schmoozed with Jesse, much to the envy of the hordes of swooning women in the room – although I have to say he really isn't that attractive in the flesh! Headed from the party to [...]
