Last night, Rachel, Christa and I made it a socialite kind of night. We headed over to the Cole Haan store at the Shops at Columbus Circle to help raise money for the School of American Ballet. Well, really I went there for the 15% discount, oh and some of the money did go to SAB. So I feel really good about buying those cute Mary Janes. We also got to see a 15 minute ballet performance. After this event, I realized, I was not cut out to be a socialite. So much pressure. What should I wear? Who am I allowed to talk to? How can I be photographed the most? The event was hosted by Town & Country Magazine, so look out for pictures in an upcoming issue.
Premiering tonight:
8-9PM
Smallville (the CW)
Ugly Betty (ABC) Must watch pick

Braves Update:
The hits just kept on coming for the Braves as the beat the Mets 13-1. Jeff Francoeur and Brian McCann hit back to back homers in the third and Frenchy and Scott Thorman hit back to back homers in the sixth. Chipper Jones also homered in the game. Chip has only played in 106 games and he’s amassed 25 homers and 83 RBIs, not bad at all! Most players would take that as their full year stats. Hudson allowed only one run in six innings pitched and even picked up a RBI. The Braves finish up their series with Kyle Davies on the mound tonight at 7:35 on TBS.
Games to .500: 4
Games behind Los Angeles Dodgers: 7
Games behind New York Mets: 16
Braves notes: Jeff Francoeur tailed his 100th RBI of the season last night…Andruw Jones says that he wants to stay in Atlanta. Cross your fingers on that one, he’s got one hell of an ass as an agent.

Chicago Bear, Ricky Manning, Jr., plead no contest to a felony assault charge from an April 23rd incident involving himself and two former UCLA players, Tyler Ebell and Maurice Drew.
