English-Wang Party Can't Be Stopped!

After Olives and Libertine owner Todd English bailed on his wedding at the last minute, friends and family of the jilted bride-not-to-be decided to party on, making the most of the celebrity chef's leftovers. The Post reports that 150 guests of Erica Wang decided to forge ahead with the fancy affair at the the St. Regis Hotel, enjoying a five-course dinner on English's dime. The scene sounded similar to the non-wedding bash had at the Mandarin over the summer when baller Richard Jefferson left his fiance at the altar.

I guess some other guy will be checking the "floral pattern" in her panties to see if it's registered.

Wasn't she the one that he was having an affair with while he was still married to his wife, Olive, back in Boston?

After reading the headline, I was really, really, really hoping this was about some British gay club party or something...

Mr Mel

I'll bet the pre nup wasn't strong enough and he bailed.

Marriage isn't for everyone.

Maybe he saw L&O's Hipster Grifter episode this week and got spooked about "Yellow Fever."

I saw that episode too. They got 2 Asian NY stories for the price of one in there - hipster grifter and forensic worker murder.

The classy thing to do would be to go through with the ceremonies and then not sign the legal documents. I feel bad for this biddie, unless she cheated on him or something. Hopefully he wasn't just like "fuck this I don't want to get married anymore"
