Drama At The Met: MIA Wedding Rings, Honcho Snubs, And Catfights Galore [Drama Kings And Queens]
Mixing two high-profile sects like A-list stars and fashionistas will inevitably result in a bit of drama, but at Monday night's Costume Institute Gala, drama took on a whole new meaning. Catfights! Divas! Public Displays Of Aggression! All were more rampant than ever. From Christina Ricci's early departure after discovering where she was seated to Pea Prince Jeff Zucker's bitchy and ostentatious avoidance of Darth Weinstein on the red carpet, the claws were out, fights ensued from call time until the wee hours, and one married actress' decision to show up sans wedding ring amid rumors of a pending divorce did little to lessen the tense night. All the details, including Jennifer Aniston's fling-of-the-week's comments on whether or not the whole mushy affair is for real, after the jump.


As the NY Post reports, Ricci worked the red carpet like a pro, but as soon as she saw that hostess Anna Wintour, Vogue EIC and most feared woman in New York, had opted to seat Christina nowhere near her boyfriend Kick Gurry (our new favorite "celeb" name, by the way!), turned on her heels and skipped the event entirely. And before the Gala even began, pissy Zucker reportedly made a very showy point to avoid Project Runway usurper Weinstein on the red carpet. Says a Post spy, "It was awkward." Awkward? More like the single most awesome sight we regret not seeing for ourselves.

As for the missing wedding ring, Liv Tyler allegedly did without it amidst rumors that "She told friends that she and Langdon...married too young and that she'd started looking for a new apartment," according to the NY Daily News. But one bit of gossip from the drama-packed evening managed to put a smile on our face, courtesy of none other than John Mayer. After being accosted by questions regarding the status of his beachy fling with Jennifer Aniston, he told reporters, ""This is not a scandal...This is not a problem. This needs no spin control. This is me living my life!" And on goes his recent trend of forcing us to like him however hard we fight it.
