Growing up with a famous last name is usually pretty helpful when it comes to forging a career, and none more so, points out the Financial Times, than in the beauty business, where you can either slot yourself into a cushy role within the family empire, like Aerin Lauder or Olivia Chantecaille, or use your ready-made brand identity to start your own company, like Vidal Sassoon's son Elan. More

» The scene at Michael Kors was inevitably the central portion of the fashion industry/magazine world/reality TV venn diagram: Nina Garcia, Rachel Zoe with her client Joy Bryant, Heidi Klum, Joanna Coles, and Joe Zee drew the limelight away from Kelly Killoren Bensimon, Aerin Lauder Zinterhofer, Blake Lively, Bette Midler, and Kors' mom Joan. On the runway the (smiling!) models, who were told "you are the most glamorous beach bums in the world," showed off middle-of-the-road, cheerful outfits with polka dots and gingham aplenty.

» Doesn't Harvey Weinstein have any clout in this town anymore? At the presentation of his wife Georgina Chapman's label Marchesa—as usual a load of frou-frou formal dresses with no connection to trends or the real world—A-list celebs were conspicuous in their absence. The lack-lustre guest list included Tinsley Mortimer, Fabiola Beracasa, Beth Ostrosky, Rachel Zoe, Joy Bryant, Guiliana Rancic, and Amanda Bynes (whose name we're even embarrassed to type). On the plus side, however, the new president of LVMH, Renard Dutreil, was there, raising the possibility that he's eyeing the label for his fashion roster. [Guardian, Wireimage, WWD]More

Eric Zinterhofer seems to have it all, huh? He's a Harvard Business School grad and a partner at Leon Black's famed private equity firm, Apollo Management. More importantly, he's married to Aerin Lauder, the billionaire heiress and daughter of Ron Lauder. But there's one little secret he may not be so quick to share with his friends and co-workers! Behind that sturdy jaw and perfect set of gleaming white teeth lies a man with a criminal past. Okay, so it's actually not all that juicy. Unlike his boss's close associate, Jeffrey Epstein, who is in prison for his dalliances with underage prostitutes, Eric's rap sheet consists of a reckless driving charge in Connecticut. Still, we wouldn't suggest drag racing the speed demon if he pulls up next to you at a red light in East Hampton. He's clearly fearless. Eric's rap sheet after the jump.More
