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......

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......

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."
