I just spent three days in Rome for a massive celebration of Valentino's 45th anniversary. In Italy, there are two people with stature: Valentino and the Pope. I don't know what kind of parties Benedict throws, but if you're ever faced with conflicting invites from those two Himbos, go with Valentino's. (The New York Times estimated yesterday that the festivities cost 10 million.)

For every event (there were four big ones), Valentino and more Valentino... My date was my friend Natasha Richardson, who's movie "Asylum" just opened there to great acclaim.

The evening's dinner was in a private park overlooking the Coliseum that belongs to the Pope, who'd never let any mortals on the grounds. Valentino is not a mortal, so permission was granted.
