Miles Fisher Covers Christian Bale, David Byrne, Tom Cruise, & Kills Lydia Hearst

Miles Fisher Covers Christian Bale, David Byrne, Tom Cruise, & Kills Lydia Hearst If there's one thing Miles Fisher is undeniably great at, it's attracting attention. The 26 year-old actor rocketed to "viral sensation" status for his spot-on Tom Cruise impersonation in Superhero Movie. He's done it again, recently, though with slightly more artistic intent, self-releasing a music video starring former BlackBook intern Lydia Hearst, another spot-on impersonation (his take on Christian Bale's American Psycho performance), and his slightly unorthodox take on the Talking Heads' "This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)." The entire affair turned out quite well, and got some decent attention, piquing ours, too. We talked to Miles about his music, the unique nature of his fame, his Harvard lineage, Mark Zuckerberg, and of course, what it's like to work with Lydia Hearst in one of the more visceral ways possible.

Pop Quiz: Lydia Hearst & ‘The Last International Playboy’

Pop Quiz: Lydia Hearst & ‘The Last International Playboy’ Lydia Hearst is the picturesque, partially nude poster girl for the Steve Clark film The Last International Playboy (drops June 12). In the New York-based film, the model/actress/philanthropist/heiress (not to mention former BlackBook intern) plays a bombshell model who meets protagonist Jack Frost (played by Roswell's Jason Behr) during a hedonistic/self-destructive phase of life. Her topless scene in the flick has been a topic of conversation, and luckily, the media favorite had time to answer our Pop Quiz in between fielding calls.

Summer Nights: Changing of the Guard

Summer Nights: Changing of the Guard A game of musical chairs is being played by most of the major promotional entities as the summer roof season is upon us. While the highly successful 230 Fifth will still dominate this market just as the Empire State Building dominates its incredible view, some places remain unsettled or don't have a clear opening date due to a myriad of problems. Highbar is getting a quick polish, while the roof at the Stay Hotel is still under construction. Mixed reports come from Cabanas and The Park, and the highly-touted Above Allen will finally get to open its windows amidst hopes that the sound spill doesn't disturb too many hotel guests and nearby residents. Daemon O'Neil, Rose Bar's patient, sweet, and very good-looking door guru (not to be confused with Damion Luaiye), is packing his clipboard and heading over to the Bazaar Bar at the upcoming Trump Soho hotel. The economic downturn, a weak dollar, and a laundry list of safety issues make travel abroad a lot less attractive this season. I hear reports that Hamptons summer rentals are sluggish, yet the Surf Lodge in Montauk is riding high.

Lydia Hearst & Crazy Eddie

Lydia Hearst & Crazy Eddie So, I finally met Lydia Hearst -- she was interning at BlackBook on Monday. I’m still on site at Webster Hall finishing it (something that may still take some time); the world is in turmoil when I get a "celebrity intern" messenger with a photog. I texted BlackBook and asked if I had to be nice; no one responded, so I was sort of nice.

Lydia Hearst: Intern at Large

Lydia Hearst: Intern at Large Yesterday, supermodel/heiress Lydia Hearst served as BlackBook intern, laboring on a variety of in-office and extramural activities. We had her review restaurants, shops, and bars for the BlackBook guides, but that was just the beginning. Lydia stuffed holiday gift boxes with guidebooks, then delivered them to friends and colleagues around the city via taxi and subway. We had to remind her to return the loaner Metrocard, as oddly enough, she didn’t have her own! Lydia even delivered a very important envelope to our beloved nightlife columnist Steve Lewis at Webster Hall, where he was recovering following an arduous redesign of the historic club. The envelope was actually empty, but we figured we’d reward Uncle Steve with some supermodel eye-candy after all the hard work he’s done for us this year (apparently he has a thing for youthful model types).

Our New Intern: Lydia Hearst

Our New Intern: Lydia Hearst UPDATE: See the report of Lydia's day o' interning, plus photo gallery.

Ever since Ryan Adams got promoted, our office has been crippled. Celebrity intern duties -- showing up, performing menial tasks for the camera, blogging about it, et cetera -- have ground to a halt. James Frey wouldn't return our calls after he landed an internship at Gawker. Fortunately, today, supermodel super-heiress Lydia Hearst has stepped into the breach. Why, she's done more intern work before 1 p.m. than most interns do before 2 p.m., and she's not stopping anytime (real) soon. Full report tomorrow, but after the jump, more Lydia as Intern, plus more Lydia as Lydia.

Page Six Replaces Lydia Hearst with Struggling Actor

Page Six Replaces Lydia Hearst with Struggling Actor Second only to the race to the White House, was the race to find Lydia Hearst's replacement as a guest columnist at Page Six Magazine, after her dramatic departure from the weekly gossip rag. Well, the race is officially kaput with the hiring of Liam McMullan, son to event photographer Patrick, to chronicle his meaningful life and sober encounters with New York's sort-of elite. His godfather Michael Musto is responsible for breaking this breaking news, and for that, we thank him.

Lydia Hearst: Fame Fatale

Lydia Hearst: Fame Fatale So tonight at 6 p.m., hie thee to Norwood to witness heiress-model Lydia Hearst in "Fame Fatale," a short film directed by designer/auteur Tara Subkoff for clothier Bebe ... and it was co-written by Princess Leia, er, Carrie Fisher. Plus there's a voiceover by actress (?) Jana Adams. That's all we got, other than a suspicion that miniblinds are involved. Atmospherically speaking.
