Film Fanatics... Superhero Sings Standards...

FILM FANATICS: The front row may be the coveted spot during a fashion show, but the action during Monday’s viewing of Matt Tyrnauer’s documentary “Valentino: The Last Emperor” was relegated to the middle section of the Bryant Park Hotel’s screening room. There, André Leon Talley joined his friends Rachel Roy, Samantha Rosen and Princess Gloria von Thurn und Taxis. The towering editor, who appears in the movie, which follows Valentino from June 2005 through his July 2007 45th anniversary couture bash, howled with laughter. And his seatmates were no less vocal. When Talley made his first of multiple cameos, von Thurn und Taxis yelled out, “You look beautiful!” And she didn’t stop there: exclamations of “We love the glamour!” and “I love it!” reverberated through the room for most of the 96-minute running time, much to the amusement of her fellow viewers. Guess she liked the film.
