Gavin's New Date

GavJenRedTie.jpg

After vetoing Mirkarimi's foot patrol proposal on Friday, Gavin Newsom skipped on over to the Red Tie Gala at Neiman-Marcus, to benefit St. Anne's Home for the elderly poor in the Lake District, run by the Little Sisters of the Poor. Hope those Sisters don't need foot patrols!

And sad news for young Brittanie Mountz -- Gavin's got a new plus-one on his arm. Our source identifies her as actress Jennifer Siebel. According to IMDB, Ms. Siebel is above the drinking age (32, to be precise), is a Stanford Business School grad, and is breaking out with small roles in major films (playing "Younger Woman In Market" in Something's Gotta Give, and "Receptionist" in Rent.) Here's her bio if you're interested.

We look forward to our intrepid readers finding out more about Ms. Siebel (a MySpace page? Voter registration forms? Haircut status?) -- and meanwhile, we'll ready up the Name That Couple contest surveys one more time! Gaviffer? Siebelsom? Oh, the possibilities!

We're pretty sure they were at Icer Air on Saturday but trying to confirm. Let's just it's good to be the Mayor-- taking dates up to the photo plank along the ski jump is always a date pleaser.

And Pat Murphy has pictures of Jennifer Siebel at the Saturday morning GOTV rally for Rob Black. Walk of shame! (different outfit, though.)

Well she looks all grown up!
(I guess there's always Thailand)?

This one is too old for him. She dated George Clooney in 02 She is out for fame, not Gavin. Poor guy never learns. NEXT?

She's probably too old have a MySpace or Facebook page. That's more fer the youngins.

Ofcourse she dated George Cloney. Would Gavin date anyone who didn't have a connection to acting or modeling.

At least he is moving in the right age bracket (28-38).

he needs to pull a Bill Clinton and fall for someone for their smarts, not their looks. Yes, it is possible to find an average looking but very intelligent woman in this city. Or in any city.

Please Gav, I beg you. Find some credibility on this one.

I actually like the gloves. Are there other pictures?

Gaviffer!

Like Beniffer but less catchy.

Suzeqzee,
it says she's a Stanford business school grad. Sounds smart to me.

I am happy to see he is no longer dating Brittanie, if he was ever dating her at all. It is possible Jennifer is using Gavin for the publicity but for all we know he is doing the same thing with her. His affair with Sofia Milos got both of them lots of media attention and Gavin probably got some connections in Hollywood. Its possible this thing with Jennifer is the same thing all over again. She's an actor and he's a politician so would it be that surprising?

A source passed along an article by Leah Garchik about the George Clooney connection.

Can we get a Visu poll for the name contest? (easier to embed and provides fancier presentations than the one you've been using) Just a request from a humble tech dummy.

I guess if they don't need foot patrols in the Marina, why the eff should they need them in the Loin.

Wanker.

Steaky - never said she wasn't smart. was suggesting that Gav should go for less stunning looks with smarts. Like Bill. You know, our former president? Or like Paul Newman - you know who he is, right?

In case you get all weirdly offended again, I am certainly not saying that there is not a plethora of very beautiful and very intelligent women available, simply that Gav might be better served by being the pretty one in the relationship.

I wasn't weirdly offended. Although I do admit I might have missed your point the first time around.

Paul Newman? He's the salad dressing guy right?

Suzeqzee,

Are you saying that when both people in a realtionship have great egos, ambitions, abilities, goals, looks, etc. and both want to be the superstar and center of attention it usually doesn't work? Do you mean usually one person should be in the support role in the relationship while the other is the star? I have to say I kind of agree with that although I don't think the woman should necessarily be the one in the support position (i.e. note Margaret Thatcher and her husband). Who knows, if Gavin does end up with Jennifer long term the attention she gets as a politician's wife will make up for the attention she loses by sacrificing some of her acting ambitions.

Dave,

Newsom firmly believes that Pac Heights and the Marina should have foot patrols. He not only admits that Union St. gets foot patrols while the rest of Northern District languishes, he uses them as justification for opposing foot patrols in areas where actual crime occurs:

In the Northern Station for example, this legislation requires that foot patrols must be prioritized in three neighborhoods"Hayes Valley, Lower Haight and Western Addition" at the expense of current foot patrols in Van Ness, Civic Center, Duboce Triangle and Union Street.

In six years of attending the Northern Station Police-Community forum, this is the first time anyone from the city has admitted that all these neighborhoods get foot patrols while we get zip. The cops always avoided bringing these up, but Nimby let the cat out of the bag.

All this, while people are being held up--unexpectedly, b/c what crime?

Another trust fund baby: http://www.lucire.com/2004a/0525ll1.shtml ("she was born to two well respected parents: Ken Siebel, entrepreneur and investment manager, and Judy Siebel, co-founder of the Children’s Museum of Sausalito and a board member on various charities. This explains some of her own character and concern about social policy.
‘My parents are true philanthropists, [she said.]"

Must be nice!

Jen has always looked pretty darn good - we knew each other for a brief period. Not surprised she's now dating the mayor, she's always had a thing for the limelight. We'll have to find out from her if he's actually gay or not.

I saw the Gav and a blond at Luella on Saturday night (also there was Mick Jagger). Not sure which blond though...

So Brittanie Mountz states on her facebook page that she is in an open relationship. Then there is that one in New York he sees also. Does Miss Jennifer Siebel have any idea? Someone needs to warn her to stock up on pennicillin, but fast!

Which one in New York does he see? I guess I'm not up on all the news. Also, Jennifer Siebel probably doesn't care if he has lots of "friends". If she was willing to date George Clooney and probably knew that relationship wouldn't go anywhere why wouldn't she date Gavin? The publicity will only help an ambitious acress.

The one from New York is Erin Brodie from The bachelor show. The publicity is good because people will look at Siebels website, but not good because they will see all her moles and flaws and Gavin will dump her soon because she is boring and very desparate for the limelight, as George Clooney knows. She would be better off trying to make it on her talent, but that's impossible.

Maybe Gavin realized that he is up for re-election and must change women?

Well this is not the woman. She is borrrrrrrrrrrrring!

Wondering why spy thinks she is boring? She seems to be the best of the bunch so far.

Maybe Spy is a tad bit jealous? If you read closely, you can actually see the claws baring...

Maybe Spy is a just tad bit jealous? You don't have to read too closely to see the claws baring themselves... And doesn't everyone have some flaws? Seriously, what's wrong with a few moles? That's kinda shallow.

how is she boring? do you have some info about her?? If not, lets not prejudge.

For some reason, I think she appeared on some reality show awhile back. Can anyone confirm?

Doesn't anyone think she looks a bit like Olivia Newton-John? Too bad she can't sing - well, it's not listed on her web site in her loooong list of talents... - she could get gigs in Grease plays and remakes.
