We're not surprised to see Kim Kardashian and her fresh-out-of-jail sister posing for the cameras at a 40th birthday party for McDonald's Big Mac burger, because if anyone would actually RSVP to a stupid event like this it's them. But Common, Serena Williams and DJ AM? Call us naive, but we expected more out of you. Hope you enjoyed your free burgers and shame.

Which famous tennis player is teased by her friends for "being such a white girl" because of her fondness for the works of Miss Cyndi Lauper?

1. Why is this a blind item? Why not just come out and say which of the Williams sisters it is?

2. Even if it wasn't a blind item, why write about it?

3. Will every lucid adult please agree to stop considering some music "black music" and other music "white music"? It's offensive to everyone and an affront to everything music should be about.

That's all.

Of course, not everyone has the luxury of being able to step over Fashion Week as if it were an errant mess on a city sidewalk. Occasionally, notable people are present for – and even active participants in – the clamorous, glamorous hubbub. To these precious few (or is it gullible many) we briefly offer our attention and pity.

If you're wondering how a multiple felon gets prime seating at Fashion Week, you must remember that every show is held in a moral vacuum, similar to Hell and Congressional hearings. After the jump, more from Zac Posen.
