The Sunday Styles section of the Chronicle does it again! Not content to rest on its laurels after watching poor Jennifer Bumblebee Siebel decimate herself, Styles next turns its gimlet eye on two other prominent members of the Swells set: Denise Hale and the inimitable bicycle-intimidator Dede Wilsey. Sunday Styles RULES. more ›

Fog City Journal is reporting that Matt Gonzalez has been in talks with a campaign manager, Nicole Derse, about running. We're all guessing it's for Mayor but who knows with Matt? We've heard speculation that he might be going for Kamala's job. Or maybe he's doing his patented "wait for the right moment" thing to try and snag a spot on "American Idol?" We hear his rendition of Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful" is pretty amazing.

Last week's winner, the Bay Guardian. Tim Redmond handicaps the SF mayor's race (they're becoming disenchanted with Matt Gonzalez?). It's the all Chris Daly news section: Chris on the How Weird Street Faire, Chris on campaign finance reform, Chris and the ethics commission. Why didn't they also ask Chris for a quote on the Mission street cleaning proposal? Cover article: "Where do stolen bikes go? Can they find their way home? Back to the open arms, of a love that's waiting theeeeeeeere?" (YouTube clip of the Whitney Houston version here.) Former Examiner writer Justin Jouvenal goes on a quest to find his stolen Fuji bike -- they need to option this article for a movie, it's really good. Also -- Chris Daly's had six bikes stolen. Events listings: why not just print Chris Daly's schedule? Kimberly Chun goes to the Grammies and reports that people asked Christina Aguilera about crotch shots. Hey, our own SFist Elaine has a blurb about Ralph Nader! Too bad the Guardian didn't let her Caption Action the picture of Ralph. (We'd go with "Cannoli, anyone?") And Gavin Newsom's horoscope: "You're exhausting yourself trying to shake this monkey off your back." Team Rippey-Tourk! more ›

Before we begin, we'd like to extend our deepest sympathies to the family of James Kim. We are not, by any means, trying to discount that tragedy by juxtaposing posts about the Kims with more light-hearted posts. It's the nature of doing a compilation such as this one: we're trying to give a full slice of the goings-on in the Ist-a-Verse: the good, the bad, and the ugly. more ›

These shows prove that the realm of divahood doesn't just consist of hissy fits and Botox or even transvestites. more ›

Reading that Daily Dish feed on the 'gate is always such a guilty pleasure. And today is no exception! Top on the Dish is the revelation that Not Britney Spears (i.e., Christina Aguilera) and her fiance Jordan Bratman are getting married in Napa this weekend. Those of you loopily wine-biking up and down Silverado Trail this weekend, be on the lookout for a tent on the edge of a forest, or a pair of buttcheeks flapping up and down out the window of a white Rolls Royce with a big JUST MARRIED sign. Aguilera and Bratman are having a rehearsal dinner tonight at "an acclaimed local restaurant." (How much you want to bet it's French Laundry? And they're staying at the Auberge du Soleil?) And please, Xtina begs you, no gifts: donate money to Katrina relief instead. Free SFist t-shirt to any reader who sends in a picture of Fred Durst in Napa this weekend! more ›
