AMPED UP Wyclef
• ... Lionel Richie has hit on a brilliant tactic for keeping his daughter's painful-to-look-at eating disorder from interfering with his career revival: sheer, willful denial. "It's not anorexia, thank God," he says in the new issue of Star about Nicole Richie's fleshless skeleton. "It's just a matter of her relaxing and rolling with it."
• ... What was fueling Wyclef Jean's manic concert at the Toronto Film Festival's Premiere Lounge on Saturday night? Performing at a party for the documentary Ghosts of Cité Soleil, the Haitian singer hung from the rafters and did chin-ups. The stars in the crowd, including Samuel L. Jackson, Kerry Washington, Danny Glover and Lance Bass, took in the music while doing their best to avoid blog-stalker Mario "Perez Hilton" Lavandeira, according to an attendee.
•... As one of Hollywood's biggest producers, Brian Grazer would be front-row material, even if he weren't making a film about punk pioneer Vivienne Westwood. But Grazer's wife, writer Gigi Levangie Grazer, apparently doesn't merit the same status: at the Marc Jacobs show Monday, she was relegated to the second row while her husband sat in the first.
