today's scoop might be the best i've read in months. first off we have craaaazy has-been tara reid, who's apparently decided a walk down the paula abdul path would serve her well:

The “American Pie’ star showed up at the famed Barnstable Brown party Friday night and tried to get in, even though she wasn’t invited. “A security guard kept her out, and she did the whole, ‘Don’t you know who I am’ thing, and then a whole crowd outside started chanting, ‘Let Tara In! Let Tara In!’” reports an eyewitness. “So they went ahead and let her in.”

Once inside, reports the source, Reid was an aggressive partier and was downing Grey Goose martinis. “She was going up to male celebrities and trying to cozy up to them, with little success,” says the insider. “She kept trying to talk to Usher, but he pretty much ignored her.”

The next day, at the Derby itself, a source says Reid showed up in a dirty dress “that looked like she’d been rolling around on the ground.” She went into a VIP room and knocked a woman over and — apparently not realizing her mistake — walked on. When she was informed what happened, she offered to give the woman an autograph.

then we have this d.c.-specific tidbit at the end:

Jenna Bush was spotted Saturday night at Cafe Saint-Ex in the Logan Circle area of Washington, DC.. “She was chain-smoking and dressed all in white,” says the source.

i wonder what the hipsters bitching about saint-ex being taken over will have to say about this? and can it be long before she hits wonderland?

update: wonkette's gossip roundup spells saint-ex as satin-ex.
