Eat, Pray, Love author Elizabeth Gilbert’s ex-husband, Michael Cooper, parted ways with his publisher, Hyperion, because of “eleventh-hour demands” to make his memoir of divorce (the other side of the Eat, Pray, Love’s story) racier.

Socialite Marjorie Gubelmann took Hills star Stephanie Pratt to The Extra Man premiere at Village East on Tuesday. Al Gore III, Al Gore’s 27-year-old son, won a boxing match at B.B. King’s this week.
