You could tell Mayor Gavin Newsom came in expecting the full costumed brigade this morning at Fourth Fake Question Time-- we definitely saw Gavin flinch when SFist Elaine saw him coming into the Excelsior Boys and Girls Club right at 2 p.m.. this morning and shouted out, "Holler!" -- but it was as chicken-free as a lunch at Cafe Gratitude, for the latest installment of Gavin Newsom's town hall meeting, this one on the......

"Matt Gonzalez is a wonderful man for a nice girl like me." - SFist Elaine, wiping away a tear. ...

Matt Gonzalez: "I'm sorry, SFist Elaine, but I've gotta run." SFist Elaine: "We've only been dating for five minutes, and you're already breaking up with me?" Matt Gonzalez: "No, I just can't stand how Luke Thomas is always crashing our dates." Luke Thomas: "She's mine, Matt!"...

Here's todays wrap up of the news...

Univision: "You okay, Gavin?" Gavin: "Imo get to that question when I get through this door!" KGO: "Did your hair get bigger, or is the doorway getting smaller?" Gavin: "Why's everybody gotta hate? I killed that town hall meeting. I'm the best mayor in the world!" Pat Murphy: "Is it true you got rid of your entire blue tie collection to quell the wrath of SFist Rita?" Gavin: "SFist Rita wasn't even here. What's up with that? They sent that creampuff, SFist Elaine, instead." SFist Elaine: "Whatev, Gavin. You are so DTM!*" ...

To paraphrase an old joke about hockey, we went to a Town Hall meeting last night and a protest broke out. Case in point, the above photo of an attendee making a calm and rational point about the meeting by first shouting at Gavin and then approaching him while Gavin filibustered. We'll let SFist Elaine describe the scene. If you want more eyewitness accounts, Fog City has a recap as well as official Editor in Emeritus, Jackson West. ABC 7 has a video of the scene ...

Here's today's wrap up of sports news...

Last month's winner, San Francisco Magazine: Cover: Spring '07 Style Forecast. Is it just us, or does the model on the cover look a whole lot like Carmen Electra? Sadly, it's not, but we love the orange Prada dress she's sporting. Short Stories: spring's super-short dresses are fabulous, and inspire us to do more squats. (But we think we'll stick to knee-length, because the world has seen enough hoo ha lately to last a lifetime.) href="http://sanfranmag.com/home/view_story/1534">Deconstructing Eco-chic: Tips on how to dress green, and still look good. Style Counsel: An interview with Mellisa Ceria, the founder of ShareYourLook.com, a personal style website for anybody too shy to ask a stranger, "Cute bag. Where did you get it?" Not that anybody ever asks us that every day. ...

As promised, Naomi Campbell came back to town for her very first San Francisco runway walk for our city's night of Fashion Week Live last Thursday -- and as noted by SFist Elaine, she brought Australian model Gemma Ward with her. And Tyson Beckford too! Drew Altizer, as always, was there on the scene, and sends along these pictures from the scene. We're running out of laudatory adjectives to describe Drew (we've already used......

It's our de rigueur day-after-the-scandal post, where we compile all the links we can find about the thing we were all talking about yesterday and turn it into a post for the next day! For those of you just tuning in -- here's the link to our original story, and here's a link to Jennifer Siebel's infamous comment (the one that the Chron has chosen not to print). So before we get started, we just......

Hooray! Noise Pop is finally here! Keep that radio dial locked in on SFist as we feature music and movie reviews from the local indie rock scene throughout the weekend. And hey, check this out! Looking for a light buzz before heading out for the evening's musical guests?

Dan Noyes: Is it true that you're leaving your position to start a hyphy group with your brother and John Nelson called the Ragone Clown Posse? ...

Last week's winner, the Bay Guardian. Tim Redmond says the progressives need something to do (so why not run a mayoral candidate?). Too many skyscrapers. Wi-fi and sunshine laws, Ruby Rippey-Tourk, cars in Golden Gate Park, and SF is totally unprepared for global warming. The gay porn Oscars! Cover articles: Noise Pop! SFist Elaine says to check out Scissors for Lefty. Dude, there's like a review for every band playing! Yay Noise Pop! L.E. Leone......

Peter Ragone: "Too bad I threw away my BlackBerry. I could be using it to comment on SFist right now."...

Way back when, in days of yore, Alex Tourk and Gavin Newsom were friends and worked on projects together, like San Francisco Connect. And so they decided to that in order to get people to join in and volunteer, they needed to come up with an advertising campaign. Which they did. And guess what tag line they came up with for Project Connect? "Volunteering is Sexy." Guess what new advertising campaign is going live this week?...

...But we couldn't resist posting this excellent YouTube of Justin Timberlake's "What Goes Around (Comes Around)" set to the movie "Closer." When TourkGate 2007 broke out, we were at home listening to our Justin Timberlake CD. We waited with bated breath until the video co-starring Scarlett Johansson premiered, but we were underwhelmed with the result - too much talking, we didn't get the whole concept with the dancers, and JT's acting kind of sucks. (Plus, we like Natalie Portman in this movie because she totally stole our old haircut.) ...

"Hilary's totally witholding until I pitch a shutout." By SFist Elaine......

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......

Gavin fleeing The Press Conference. Better add some Hail Marys to that latte, playboy. By SFist Elaine......

We know we've been talking about the Traina sisters quite a bit lately, but we can't help but comment on the mostly fierce but somewhat questionable fashion sense of the closest thing we'll ever have to the Hilton sisters. (Even though the Traina girls, like, hate being compared to the Hiltons.) This is another photo from New York Fashion Week, and, frankly, we're at a loss for words. ...

The other Vanessa socialite, Vanessa Traina, showed up to New York Fashion Week looking very chic but a kinda rexy. Maybe she should stop hanging out with the Olsen twins? By SFist Elaine Photo from Style.com......

We don't mean to pour on the haterade, but we couldn't help but dedicate Amy Winehouse's "Rehab" to Gavin. In a perfect world, he would dance around to this song every morning while he picks out ties and logs onto SFist. Work it, Big G! By SFist Elaine......

We finally got around to watching MTV's "I'm From Rolling Stone", the Almost Famous-meets-The Hills-meets-The Apprentice reality show about six twenty somethings who get "the internship of a lifetime": a summer associate position at Rolling Stone. One lucky hopeful will win a year-long contributing editor position. Um, does anybody still read Rolling Stone? ...
