A very sincere thank you to the reader who forwarded along this picture of former Mrs. Gavin Newsom Kimberly Guilfoyle with her baby boy Ronan Anthony Villency. All together: awwwwwww! And this got us thinking: what's going on with the rest of Gavin's squeezes these days? Here's the results of our Google searching! Sofia Milos: The Scientologist girlfriend! Sofia (watch out, the site plays execrable music when you load it up) was recently spotted at......

What is it with all the hapless criminals and would-be criminals in Fremont? We should do an all-Fremont edition of the Blotter one of these weeks. Well, today's Fremont Blotter entry involves an attempted robbery of a Quiznos by a man wearing a straw sombrero, sunglasses, and gloves. The man walked in, "simulated a handgun" under his sweatshirt, and asked for cash. The employees told the man they didn't know how to open the register......

If you're man enough to go to the Fake Question Time townhall meeting this Saturday at the Richmond Recreation Center (281 18th Ave., between Geary and Clement), you're man enough to pop open a beer or three at 10 in the morning and play the Question Time Townhall Meeting Drinking Game with SFist! And you know who's really gonna want to play this drinking game? The star of the event! See you guys there --......

We came across this video on GooTube for Propaganda New Year's Eve Party at Laszlo, featuring SFist fave Brittanie Mountz doing what she does best. Love the stunna shades, Brittanie! No confirmation on whether or not Mountz was actually there. And no word on what Gaviffer did for NYE, but we're guessing they probably went to bed at 1:30am with the rest of the over-25 crowd. Yawn. Special thanks to Peter Ragone for successfully breaking up Mountsome and ruining the best bit of blogging gold in 2006. We hate you, Peter! ...

We got a sneak preview of the Jan. 2007 W Magazine article about the San Francisco social life of the Gettys and the Trainas that's referenced in this week's Swells society column. Of course we're giving it the trademarked SFist Society By The Numbers treatment! The article's not online but you should be able to buy it on the newsstands by next week. The number of ramekins Ann Getty is filling with souffle batter for......

Now that Gavin has stopped playing coy and moved ahead with his re-election plans, the question is who will step up to run against Mr. 80% Approval Ratings? It's the parlor game anyone can play! So far, the question has been pondered in the Bay Guardian, Beyond Chron, and yesterday's Matier & Ross column. And the answer, so far? Nobody has the cajones to. ...

The polls are closed on our Vote For Your Favorite Gavin Newsom Date election and the votes are counted! And your winner, by a commanding lead, is..... BRITTANIE MOUNTZ! Your results are in pie graph form above -- but if you can't read the names and numbers in those little wedges, here they are in legible form: --Brittanie Mountz -- 68.3% --Sofia Milos -- 10.5% --Erin Brodie -- 9.4% --Kimberly Guilfoyle Newsom Villency -- 6.1%......

It's our new occasional column, about the trials and tribulations facing Mayor Gav! So.... who's attacking Newsom now???? --...CBS 5!: KPIX aired a segment (video) detailing all of Newsom's recent woes. The clip includes an interview with Art Bruzzone about how Gavin's busy delegating everything to other people but doesn't actually know what's going on, a quizzical eye about Gavin's professed ambivalence about running for reelection, and footage of Gavin complaining about the excessive focus......

....for your favorite Gavin date! As you'll see, Brittanie Mountz has a commanding lead (perhaps with some assistance from her sorority?), but that shouldn't discourage you from sounding off with your opinion either! Links to (at least some) of our coverage on these women here. We'll tell you right now we voted for Kimberly: 'cuz she's the OG -- the Original Gavin-Girl. No one does it better! Who's Your Favorite Gavin Date?Kimberly Guilfoyle Newsom VillencySofia......

It's been awfully quiet on the Gavin Newsom dating front, hasn't it? Well, if our mayor won't create gossip for us, we'll have to do it ourselves! So we're announcing the official Favorite Gavin Newsom Date poll! Whom did you like the best? Was it loose cannon Kimberly Guilfoyle -- or maybe you preferred the devoted Scientologist Sofia Milos? What about barely-legal Brittanie Mountz, or the current (for now) and fully-legal Jennifer Siebel? Or maybe......

There's lots to be said about this election (we won the House!), and lots to be learned about local politics (YouTube -- the wave of the future), and that's for political scientists that are sharper than us to figure out -- but the one totally obvious point that this election's highlighted is that Gavin Newsom can't get his friends elected. Take Doug Chan in District 4, for example. Newsom was the conservative (for SF) Police......

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......

Yay, Civic Center Mike's back from Palm Springs! And what should he stumble upon while wheeling his suitcases out of the BART station but Bill Clinton's Yes on 87 Rally! (87 is the tax the oil companies for alternative energy proposition. Yes arguments here, No arguments here.) You have to check out Mike's post from the scene, it's hilarious. Here's some of our favorite Mike-style zingers (we're leaving a bunch of them for you......

Remember when the only reason we'd talk in the comments around here was when we found new pictures of Brittanie Mountz? Well, let's let the healing from Halloween begin, and bring back those good ol' times! About half of these pictures are from Brit at the V415 Halloween party at Frisson (no, we don't know why the Sonoma State '08 student is wearing a UCLA cheerleader costume either), and the other half are from......

Well, we suppose it was inevitable -- a sharp-eyed reader has found mayoral consort Brittanie Mountz's Facebook page. (You need to be a Facebook member to view it, which is why SFist is now the newest member of the Facebook Nation. Be our friend!) We've saved the page as a screen grab so we can prove it existed when mayoral spokesperson Peter Ragone inevitably makes her take the page down. In other Gavin Facebook news,......

We're not calling this an "Everybody Hates Chris" post only because we're starting to think there are too many posts on the SFist front page that bear that title. This week's episode: Everybody Hates Critical Mass. Flickr user and bike rider DainaBeth sends along her picture of Chris Daly at last week's Halloween Critical Mass ride. Here's the caption to her picture: I actually wasn't sure at first if this was my supervisor Chris......

We've got a winner in our Second Gavin Couple Naming Contest! We've heard rumors that the are-they-or-aren't-they May-December relationship is back on the aren't, but you know we never let the facts get in the way of poking some fun at our mayor's expense. And the winner is...... (if you haven't seen it in the title of this post): MOUNTSOME! Mountsome wins with 47% of the vote! The naughty Brittanie Mountz Newsom comes in second,......

Last week's winner, the Bay Guardian. Save Chris Daly! Rob Black's dirty Swift-Boat campaign tactics. PG&E (sigh). Cover articles: What's happening with Halloween this year? TELL US! Also, where'd our fun gay Halloween go?, and (non-SF) themed costumes. What, no Alix Rosenthal costume? Maybe Steven T. Jones edits the costume section. Sonic Reducer's days behind the counter at Tower. Lit section: books about seedy SF, and Michelle Tea's interview with the editor and publisher of......

Alright sports fans, here it is, the moment you've all been waiting for, the official SFist "Name the Couple Contest!" And even if they are broken up (as has been rumored), well, why let a little facts get in the way of all the fun-- it works for the White House. We thought we had come up with some good names ourselves, but you, you people...we want to party with you (and yes, that somehow makes this the second Stripes reference of the day). Below are the selected winners which were chosen by careful SFist selection procedures (what struck our fancy after half a bottle of wine and some xanax). Special SFist shouts go to the people who came up with this: readers Ian (mazel tov on the engagement, Ian!) for Mountsome, our very own Sarah L for Lost in Translation 2, Tanjay with Mayor Mountz, and the really on top of things Olivia for Mountsome and Mayor Mountz. So here we go, it's votin' time. We'll announce the winning name on Friday. ...

Total number of people pictured in this week's Swells society column: 73. Total number of people pictured whom we recognize: 11. Minority count: 11. Not the same 11 whom we recognized. (15.3%) Getty v. Traina: 6-1. Some Gettys went to two parties. Hats, capes, tiaras: 2, 1, 0. This doesn't count the mention of Brittanie Mountz in a newsboy cap, accompanying Gavin to Denise Hale's Ritz-Carlton party. Number of times Brittanie was caught drinking: 0.......

Last night we featured the cross bay rivalry of Taste events, and tonight, we've got two art auctions. When we see things like this, we wonder whether the organizers of said events check each others' calendars, as we have learned through painful experience that we can't be everywhere at once. Perhaps an evite is called for in these circumstances. First, in the East Bay, The Oakland Art Gallery's DRAWN, a fundraiser sale and art......

As we think fondly back on our college days, we've come to the conclusion that alcohol is never going to taste as good as it did before we turned 21. That, however, may not be true for poor Brittanie Mountz, who just got busted by the Chronicle's Cecilia Vega for possibly drinking with the mayor while underage. According to Sunday's Matier and Ross (posted on the 'Gate Saturday evening, which is why this is going......

This month's Zelda Fitzgerald, mayoral paramour Brittanie Mountz is not only flitting about town in true flapper style (and who knows -- if she's in fact under 21, she might be drinking some forbidden gin as well), but has gotten a gamine haircut to match. We think it's kind of cute! Freelance photographer Drew Altizer was kind enough to let us post some of his pictures from Thursday night's Lucky/Levi's party -- check out......

It's like the Age of Aquarius around here, with all the hair-related news we're getting about town! And it's not just Gavin (new pic!) either -- several tipsters write in to let us know that Gavin's teen girl Brittanie Mountz was seen last night (sans mayor?) at the Lucky Magazine event at Levi's, with a new, very short, Sienna Miller-type do. The mayor seems to like his lasses long-tressed -- so we'll see what happens.......

Oh, you know how teenagers love to shop! SFLuxe found this picture of our mayor taking his 19-year-old (or is it 26?) squeeze of the moment, Ms. Brittanie Mountz, to the grand opening of the Westfield mall. "OMG, Gavin, let's stop by Claire's Boutique!" We can't wait to read the transcripts of Gavin's text messages to the city hall high school interns next. "Do I make you horny? Also -- why don't we have solar......

Total number of people pictured in this week's Swells society column: 74. Number of people pictured whose names we recognize: 12. (representative sample: Jonny Moseley, the omnipresent George and Charlotte Shultz, Gavin and child model Brittanie Mountz, Stephan Jenkins of Third Eye Blind.) Minority count: 1 (1.38888%.) Getty v. Traina: 5-30. This week's event is a party at the DeYoung museum thrown by Dede Wilsey in honor of her son Trevor Traina's recent marriage! (30......
