Is Steve Sands a Crasher or a Celebrity Guardian Angel?

We recently lamented that party creatures (er, crashers?) like paparazzo Steve Sands were hoarding the food at the opening of Irving Mill, and like clockwork he turned up again at the opening of Bun last night. We’ve heard that Sands threatens to call the fire marshal on clubs that don’t let him in, but one PR company dared stand up to him: A knowledgeable source tells us that Hall Co. actually tried to boot Sands from the Irving Mill party when he started cornering more recognizable guests with a small camera. As they gently suggested that it was time to go, though, none other than John Leguizamo intervened on his behalf, saying Sands had arranged transportation for him after a recent party (what was there, a taxi strike?). That crasher who’s vacuuming up the tuna tartare may actually be a modern-day Clarence Oddbody.
