Oh, for the love of God. Really? Okay, we'll bite. Ahem: while some of us were going through a chemically-induced bender over the last few days, because that's why God invented the three-day weekend, celebrity couple Gavin Newsom and Jennifer Siebel were flying high as well. According to SF Sentinel (via Spaceref.com): Zero Gravity Corporation (ZERO-G(R)), the first and only FAA-approved provider of commercial weightless flights, welcomed San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and fiance......

The even will be held on the second floor of the Ferry Building, located at 1 Embarcadero, at 5:00 p.m. Members of the media must arrive for setup by 4:45 p.m. Rumor has it that Mayor Gavin Newsom will be joined by a "special guest star": former President Bill Clinton. But......

Says you! In an effort to diffuse to the sheer horror of being labeled a "dork," "techie," "queer," or even "local artist," recently San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom had this to say during a virtual chat. In a fireside chat in the virtual world Second Life, Newsom responded to a question from Philip Rosedale, CEO of Second Life publisher Linden Lab, about virtual worlds not just attracting geeks. The mayor laughed and offered a......

In a final tip of the hat that sums up this year's (disappointing) election, Gavin Watch has celebrity candidate Chicken John's surprise Saturday night debate with San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom. Not the real mayor, mind you, but Gavin in puppet form. (Kudos to those who created the puppet, though we would've have liked to have seen Newsom sporting a signature cold-blue tie. We digress.) It's a humorous bit, one that stretches on and......

Last night when we and a few of our more tolerably-alcoholic friends took a break over at the St. Regis (why not?) -- which included SFist emerita and SF Gate/Chron rescuer Eve Batey for a few, short seconds -- we were jarred to find former San Francisco Mayor Willie Lewis Brown kicking it right next to us. It should go without saying that insouciance was seeping out of William's ears, nose, and ass. What's......

Bravely risking horrifying pregnancy and/or breast-feeding remarks from multinymous Commenter Matt/Brunhilda/Saul, we'll report that the Guilfency nuptials may be of the shotgun variety, as Kim's five months pregnant with a son! According to Page Six, Kimberly Guilfoyle and Eric Villency actually got engaged "at the end of last year, but (Kim) kept it secret until her divorce from San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom became final." We'd given up on trying to find a registry......

Well, Randy Shaw apparently got the news that the Gavster's strategists are looking into the possibility of running for the Democratic nomination for the gubenatorial race next year. He writes in Beyond Chron: The prospect of a tossup primary followed by an easy general election victory is no doubt what is motivating the Newsom camp to look closely at the race. The Mayor’s ambitions for higher office have been no secret, and if he......

Spring is a time for love. The flowers bloom, the sun shines, and the little creatures copulate. Today brings us not one, but two reports from New York about the Gavster's ex, Kim-Kim. First, from the Post, which we'll just quote because, well, they're evil and they require registration now: Court TV's Kimberly Guilfoyle — who moved here in January after filing for divorce from her workaholic husband, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom —......
