Christian Siriano dresses up as The Little Mermaid’s Ariel as he hosts the “Heroes vs. Villains” Halloween party at Gramercy Park Hotel’s Rose Bar on Saturday (October 31) in New York City.

The 23-year-old fierce fashion designer was accompanied by his boyfriend Brad Walsh, who was Christian’s prince charming, Eric. It apparently was a Disney night as Ursula was at the party also!

The event was also hosted by PR gurus Lauren Auslander (Rosie the Riviter) and Bianca Bianconi (Cleopatra) as well as gallery owner Mazdack Rassi and Rose Bar’s creative director Nur Khan. Also pictured below: Alexa Chung and Agyness Deyn as Wayne and Garth from Wayne’s World.

Vanity Fair has charted the most influential blogs about politics, gossip, Hollywood, media, and miscellany, and located them on two basic continuums: tone and content. From “news” vs “opinion” and “earnest” vs “scurrilous”, Just Jared fell into the “Earnest and Opinion” category. Here’s what the mag wrote about JustJared.com:

“Just Jared: Kinder, gentler celebrity-gossip blog, chockablock with exclamation points!”

Score!!!!!! Interestingly enough, Vanity Fair chose Angelina Jolie as this blog’s icon. Hmmm, wonder why!!!!!

Also, JustJared.com is the only celebrity gossip blog in the lower right-hand quadrant (+X, -Y), alongside online news website Huffington Post, techie blog Boing Boing and fashion blog The Sartorialist.

Much love to all the “BAMPZS _ _” fans out there who have stuck around here for years. And to all the newbie readers who have tuned in recently! XXOO.

JustJared.com is mentioned in an article in The New York Times called “The Beautiful People, the Uglier, the Better,” which is about tabloid photographs and how they’re analyzed pixel-by-pixel. Unfortunately, the NYT did not link here. BOOOOOO!!!! But here are two snippets:

– “No question is too small or insignificant for Web sites like … justjared … where the sites’ hosts post photos with commentary (“Parasite Hilton: Her Face Is Growing Stuff”), and invite others to do the same.”

– “Jennifer Aniston looking pensive occasioned a headline on her misery since her divorce from Brad Pitt. The caption drew me to Ms. Aniston’s eyes. Interesting: those part-Greek eyes, darkened by experience. What was Ms. Aniston thinking, now that she’d been left for Mr. Pitt’s costar in an action movie, the tattooed siren Angelina Jolie? So human, her hurt and expression. And so recent, I thought. I bought the magazine.”
