SCENE! HEARD!

MEANWHILE:

Toronto’s Niagara Street last week was a parade of nondistressed damsels and Edward Cullen types, plus — look up! — that extra-tall, super-star industrial conjurer Karim Rashid. Lightform — the “It” light-fixture store in the city — was like a scene right out of the Milan Furniture Fair, as the scene played out at the party for the Toronto Design Offsite Festival. AND, YEAH:

So tell us what you really think, Kelly Cutrone. While in Toronto recently guest-hosting Global’s Morning Show, she spewed fire where Lance Armstrong is concerned. “Buy a house in Costa Rica and become a surfer,” the woman behind the New York PR firm People’s Revolution, said, advice-wise, for the bicyclist non grata. (Meanwhile, Cutrone, and local PR sparkplug Deb Goldblatt, were spotted power-PR’ing and having dinner together while she was here! At Sotto Sotto!) OK, AND:

A friend of a friend spotted Scott Speedman on Friday at Campagnolo, on Dundas. The stud-next-door, back at home working, has been making the restaurant rounds. FINALLY:

How do you say “hotcakes” in German? Shimmers of hope for Thorsten Heins, the Teutonic CEO of Research In Motion. Several months after specialguesting at the Porsche Design showstopper opening, here on Bloor, I hear the store is sold out of his company’s just-out, all-black, all-sexy Porsche Design P’9981 BlackBerry. Retailing at $2,050, the luxury smartphone is, so far, exclusively sold in Canada at the one store, and there were so many pre-orders that the first shipment went lickety-split. The next order, my spy tells me, is expected in two to three weeks, and already has 50-plus names on the waiting list.

The future looks bright.I hope.
