Uninvited Party Report

Granted, through some mix up with the courts we're still not allowed within 50 feet of Arianna Huffington. But that debacle was several years ago, and we long ago trapped and removed the chimps from her guest house.

So either she holds a long grudge, or Franklin Avenue was accidentally left off the invite to Wednesday night's Huffington Post/Yahoo!/Gawker Media shindig at her house. Either way, after checking out coverage on other sites, we'd be remiss not to mention the Blogging Event of The Year™ and even provide some coverage. (And memo to Arianna: No hard feelings. But seriously, don't expect an Evite to next February's Franklin Avenue Race.)

Some highlights:


Mickey Kaus (r.) warns Defamer's Mark Lisanti to steer clear of the alley behind Arianna's house. Apparently he heard from the guy standing in front of the woman with salsa on her chin -- no, the other woman -- that gangbangers carrying baseball bats and chains had been spotted rumbling near the porch.


The party's surprise musical entertainment, proud new papa Kevin Federline, sneaks in through the back of Arianna's estate; Federleezy -- who nearly stormed off the stage after Bill Maher introduced him as "Kevin Federline" and not the preferred "K-Fed" -- previewed a few more new tracks to a thrilled aud. Arianna even stepped on stage to provide backup on the show-stopping encore, "Bitches Be Frontin'."


Gawker Media bossman Nick Denton reveals the company's next big blog: The religion- themed site www.crucialfix.com. (Wait a sec... that's actually not a bad idea. Nick, call me.)


Blood is shed as the east coast/west coast battle between FishbowlNY and FishbowlLA finally boils over. Michael Sonnenschein, your death shall be avenged.
