The Annual McCarthy Memorial Gala is always one that leaves the city talking, and this time it was no different.
Many of the most well known members of the Upper East side arrived to the Gala with gorgeous dates on their arms and even better looking jewels on their neck. Of course, not everyone seemed to get the dress code in the invitation. Jake Puckerman arrived slightly underdressed for the occasion, his younger sister and newcomer on the scene, Sarah Puckerman, on his arm. We’re writing his outfit choice off as a way to stir the pot, where as we’re willing to bet Miss Stacy Evans is just clueless when it comes to how these functions work, since she arrived to the gala in a New York taxi cab. How tragic.
While guests and dates are often the talks of our blog, the pairings for this event were rather dull. Frannie Fabray attended the party with a rather yummy male model, but we’ve heard since that night she’s filed at restraining order so we’re willing to bet it wasn’t all heart eyes and rainbows between the two. Her ex, Duke Wilde, brought a date of his own, but seemed to disappear from her arm early in the night. Marley Rose attended the party with her step brothers best friend, Hunter Clarington. At first we hoped a scandal was on the horizon, but many sources heard Clarington state he brought Princess Peach as his date because her new step brother dropped out at the last minute. Not very brotherly, Sebastian. The only other notable dates were the hosts themselves. Mason McCarthy brought long time date, Kitty Wilde with him, not too shocking, but his sister Madison McCarthy brought Ryder Lynn. Quite interesting considering the past between Wannibieber and Kit Kat, especially since Ryder Lynn has been seen out numerous times, before and after the Gala, with Marley Rose.
The dateless includes Stacy Evans and Scout Lynn. Sorry ladies. Maybe next time just go with each other, it’s always less pathetic then going stag.
It seems the Gala itself was boring, many of the guests leaving the main hall when Michael McCarthy began talk about his war days. His daughter Madison was seen fleeing to the garden after being turned down for a drink by the bartender. Of course that clearly didn’t deter the girl, because she was seen trading drinks with the likes of Jake Puckerman, Ryder Lynn and Frannie Fabray. It seems she was quite drunk later in the evening. So drunk in fact, that she kissed ex-whatever, Hunter Clarington. Right after leaving a slap on his cheek. Interesting foreplay, McCarthy.
Her twin brother was probably one of the only people who spent most of the party at the party. Fluttering around between guests and girls alike. While Kitty was his date, it seemed that she wasn’t the only one on his radar. Boy McCarthy spent most of his night chatting up Stacy Evans, before she eventually ditched the event all together to get burgers with her drunk twin. Oh the parallels. Once Stacy was gone for the evening, Mason moved onto the other dateless girl, Scout.
Who probably deemed the party as a bust, considering she also left early and was spotted partying it up throughout the night. She did however, spend a bit of time with Baby Puckerman while at the Gala. We’re not totally sure what they talked about, but one observer swore the word marriage came up during the conversation. Hey Girl Scout, maybe you can plan your wedding once your birthday party ends? Although we doubt your big bro will be happy with the groom, especially after he hears what Jake was up to later in the night.
If anyone should get the award for most entertaining, it should be Jake Puckerman. Not only was he practically chased throughout the house by a rather clingy ex of his fathers, but he had a bit of lady drama. Of course we know about his talk with Scout, but apparently at one point throughout the night, he stumbled upon Marley Rose and admitted to having feelings for her and then the two shared a dance? Are we hearing this correctly? We thought she had a thing with his best friend? Either way, no one here at gossip girl is exactly shocked, since we all remember the night he spent at her place. Puckerman wasn’t done with Ryder’s leftover though, because one source claims to have seen Baby Puckerman and Kit Kat leave a secluded office together later in the night. Who knows what went on in there? Well... we have a few guesses, especially after the pictures that surfaced earlier this week.
We’re both wondering how Ryder Lynn will feel about all this, especially since it all seemed to happen under his nose. His sister, his ex-girlfriend and his new beau all in one shot? Could this mean the end of a life long bromance? We’re dripping with anticipation. Especially since we know that Lynn left the event with Marley Rose. We doubt he knows about the conversation, since Marley was seen later in the week buying some lingerie with friend Madison McCarthy, and we’re sure the only person she’d be buying that for is for Lynn himself. Will he see it, though, is the question? Especially with this new information.
Not much was seen of Duke Wilde during the party, but that could be because he slipped off into the library rather early in the night. We thought that boy was all about a good old fashion party? But maybe being in the same room as long time ex girlfriend, Frannie Fabray was too much? We’ve been told they did seem to have a rather cordial conversation, but for all we know that was the alcohol. Or maybe they’ve agreed its time to get back together? Fingers crossed it’s the latter, because we’ve placed bets.
What we at Gossip Girl find most interesting is the fact that Quinn Fabray and Sam Evans weren’t even in attendance to the party. We figured as much from Fabray, what with the clear tension between her and Madison earlier in the week, but we expected Trouty Mouth to show up and watch over his younger siblings. Instead they were spotted together, even taking a dip together in the Fabray pool. But we’re a tad confused. We thought Barbie 2.0 and Hunter Clarington were on track to become a thing? Clearly we were wrong, and she’s decided to downgrade.
That’s all the information we have for now, boys and girls. But our favorite Upper East Siders are currently in the Hamptons and we know that will call for plenty of drama, especially after they all read this.
Our sources have been pretty mute when it comes to hook ups, which makes us think the kids of the UES are all sleeping with each other in some strange, rich orgy. Or they’re all lonely and using their toys. Either way, it’s totally boring.
Fingers crossed something happens soon.
Here’s what we do know. Jake Puckerman and Brittany Pierce are dating? Who knows really. I can’t remember the last time we actually saw them together, let alone exchange words. And while Quinn Fabray continues to deny that she did anything with Hunter Clarington, her most recent instagram seems to tell a different story. I’m willing to bet money that they’re doing something, especially with Madison McCarthy’s completely 180 regarding Hunter in the past few days.
SPOTTED: MORE THEN ONE WALK OF SHAME WAS MADE ON THE UPPER EAST SIDE THIS MORNING
Looks like sleepovers were all the rage last night, too bad most of the Upper East Sider missed the memo. While we’re sure Kitty and Stacy’s was nothing more then completely platonic, stocked with every sleepover trope you could find in a late 90s teen movie, we’re doubting the same can be said for the likes of Jake Puckerman, Marley Rose, Hunter Clarington and Quinn Fabray.
We’ve been told by a number of sources that both Baby Puckerman and our very own Henry VIII were spotted sneaking out of penthouses before the sun was in the sky. It seems Jake made a visit to newcomer Marley Rose’s town home last night. We’re not told what went down between the two, but here at Gossip Girl, we’re a bit confused. Last we heard Princess Peach was all about the Justin Bieber Wannabee, the two were even spotted in central park last night on what we assumed was a date.
Seems like we were wrong. She definitely does get around.
As for Hunter Clarington, he was spotted late last night using the back entrance to the Fabray household. One can only assume why he wasn’t hoping to be seen using the front door, and we have a feeling it was because the meeting between him and Barbie 2.0 was supposed to stay a dirty little secret. He emerged this morning, wearing the same rumpled clothes as last night before rushing into a dark limo. While it’s not confirmed, it’s not hard to imagine what those two were up to.
Tsk tsk, boys and girls, you know you can’t hide anything when it comes to us.
