Robin Leach, big macher.

Vineeta

That doll-faced boy, when I sent him on his way with Franny, I could’ve just pinched his cheeks. He was so excited about being on stage as a speaker and completely wide-eyed about the splendors of AshramLand and our adjacent natural wonders. And I know he’s going to just have a birthday blast at dinner. Top of the World at the Strat, if you please, 845 feet above the strip with Robin Leach, Mr. Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous himself. P.S.: The dining room revolves! I’m hoping Robin will take an interest in Pluto and feature him on his website, and maybe open some doors. I’ve also asked Celine Dion, who she and I go back so far I don’t want to admit, and of course also her husband René. But she plays her theater at Caesar’s, and doesn’t eat before performing. For $100 million over three years, I’d skip a meal, too. But she’s a wonderful lady. I love her to death.
