Dear Gossips,

There’s a direct flight from Vancouver to Newark and at that time of night it only takes half an hour to get to the city. When I arrived in Newark I loitered for a few minutes like Marcus Flutie in Megan McCafferty’s Perfect Fifths. Was also tempted to take the monorail and write haikus but it was late and there’s a lot to do today.

Will post my thoughts on Perfect Fifths and the entire Jessica Darling series soon but in short: McCafferty is criminally underrated. She is briefly featured in the book section on this site – click here – and will receive a proper asskissing now that Jessica’s story is complete.

As for being in New York – this day can’t pass quickly enough. Am here because etalk and I have been invited to an exclusive listening session tonight for Whitney Houston’s new album I Look To You with Clive Davis and…Whitney herself! Gah!

Not sure how to hold it together in the same room with Whitney Houston. I worshipped Whitney Houston growing up. Afraid I might do something really, really f-cking embarrassing. Like ask for a hug or something.

Ew!!!

No but seriously…why do people ask celebrities for hugs???

“Thanks God” there will be cocktails.

Am pretty sure they’re confiscating all gadgets and devices at the event. But if not, of course I will be on Twitter. And if so, will mad tweet about it right after and also blog about it tomorrow.

For now though there’s a full day of gossip ahead. Am posting til I have to do my hair and decide what to wear, which won’t be til early evening. Check back often! And scroll down for articles missed yesterday.

Yours in gossip,

Lainey
