If 'crazy' could be bottled up and sold Ms. Courtney Love would be the Evian source, spouting seemingly endless amounts of pure, undiluted insanity every hour of every day. When she's not Tweeting sociopathic (yet utterly hilarious) rants at ex-lover Billy Corgan or soon-to-be-hugely-famous ex-daughter Frances Bean, Courtney can be found yelling at the very crowds that pay her bills. This time, she focused her vitriol at a young Brazilian fan who waved a Kurt Cobain poster at her gig, refusing to play and then storming off the stage. Because that's what a sane person would do. 

As 2011 winds down, it’s time to look ahead to our travel planning for the next year. The travel experts at Cox & Kings have been planning luxury trips since 1758, when Richard Cox was appointed to the post of regimental agent during the British Raj. Responsible for outfitting and arranging all travel for the foot guards, he became known for his reliability and honesty, which formed the basis for his business serving most of the regiments in India. These are their picks for 2012 trends.

Yes, we know: Le Jules Verne at the top of the Eiffel Tower. But assuming you’re not proposing this time around, here are eight other international top spots to enjoy breathtaking views while you fill your belly.

With the celebrities out of the way, Sao Paulo Fashion Week could focus on what's important, namely, the fashion. Piercing, bright colors, seductive transparency, extravagant headwear, futuristic cuts, and powerful women were the trends that dominated over the last three days. Take a look at the second installment of exclusive photos by Tayon Braatz and Christian Pielow.

When I was king of the forest, and a young bright person would come to me with aspirations of a career in nightlife, I would make them listen to a little ditty: "I will hire you, but you must understand that nightlife is like a roller coaster. You spend a little money to get on the ride and the first thing it does is it takes you up a great hill from which you think you can see the whole world. It broadens your horizons, and the anticipation of what lies ahead is a huge adrenaline rush. Then you plunge headlong into it—fast and fun, steep curves, and drops and spills, and you have barely enough time to catch your breath or see much else. Suddenly it's over, and you basically went around in a circle and didn't get anywhere, and the only person to really make any money is the guy who owns the thing." For the great majority of aspiring Steve Rubells or Noah Tepperbergs, that's all she wrote. Some are satisfied with the gal above their pay grade or the recognition at the club du jour's door, but few make a real career from it. I was very lucky to have worked for so many brilliant men who did, and Rudolf Piper was as good as they get.

Last night at Milk Studios saw the debut announcement of the Creators Project, a massive worldwide digital arts event put on by Vice and Intel. It's easily the most ambitious thing Vice has ever attempted in terms of event packages, and that's saying something. Curated by Mark Ronson among others, the stellar cast of participating talent covers artists and creative nerds coming together for events in New York, London, Sao Paulo, Seoul, and Beijing. The launch event--in New York, also at Milk, on June 26--promises a total takeover of the building for a variety of panels, installations, and of course parties in the inimitable Vice style. Quite likely to be among the summer's top events in this town.

There's a dangerous dichotomy at work in the fashion industry these days and Sao Paulo Fashion Week is the latest culprit. Just yesterday the Associated Foreign Press pointed out a growing concern among Sao Paulo's fashion set about ultra skinny models on the catwalk. "The organizers of Latin America's biggest fashion show raised the alarm Thursday over emaciated Brazilian models apparently following unhealthy US and European trends," reports read. Paulo Borges, the creative director behind the biannual fashion week claimed that the emaciated models in question "are based most of the year in Europe and in the USA where they work majorly." (Basically Borges is implying that it's expectations further north and east that are encouraging Brazilian models to trim down to unhealthy weights.) But that debate in Sao Paulo specifically is nothing new.

David Graziano and Corey Lane are becoming moguls. David is a fantastic hospitality/interior designer with home runs like Pink Elephant and the Kiss & Fly/Bagatelle/RdV complex to his credit. Corey comes from an operations background but is well grounded in promotion, especially when it comes to South American house fests. I don't know one person that doesn't like or respect them. In an industry which sometimes creates tensions, that's a mouthful. I caught up to them (and their new publicist Steve Kasuba) at their new restaurant, Ganesvoort 69, where the old Florent restaurant used to be. Florent was in the Meatpacking District when men were still packing meat while other men dressed as women were also packing meat. Late night, a scene of running mascara and sex workers of every persuasion had a bite after a long night. For club operators and staff, it was one of the few places always open where you could get an intelligent late-night meal. It was an after-hours club affair or someplace to fuel up before taking the party to the late afternoon at one of the great house meccas. They kept a lot of the charm and some of the fixtures as Ganesvoort 69 pays its respect to its vaunted past.
