Saturday Surprise: Page Six!
How fun to have this gossip page mention appear today.
Here's what it says under the "We Hear" section: "THAT Nicky Hilton will host a clambake at the Grey Goose Manor in East Hampton tonight. . . THAT John Ventimiglia, who played Artie Bucco on "The Sopranos," is taking over the male lead opposite Meital Dohan in the off-Broadway play "Stitching," starting Wednesday . . . THAT Page Six gets a nice mention in "Violet in Private," Melissa Walker's new novel about the fashion industry, when 19-year-old heroine Violet Greenfield finds a photo of herself leaving a hot Manhattan club splashed in our column the next day."
It's no clambake in the Hamptons, but I'm so glad I can be a bold-faced name on Page Six in a way my mom can be proud of. Phew! I think Violet should be a bold-faced name, too, but I guess fictional characters don't get all the perks.
Happy Saturday!

Now you can describe yourself as "the notorious Melissa Walker, who appeared on Page Six."

That's awesome! I can't believe it comes out in 16 days! I found a copy of Flowers in the Attic at a half price books tent sale, i wasn't even looking for it really and there it was waiting for me. So i canceled my mooch request, felt bad about it. It was that exact same version.
