< BACK TO Fresh Intelligence Voters: Derek Blasberg is SocialiteRank![]() TOP RANKED Blasberg Mystery solved! You've voted, and you believe (55 to 45 percent) that the mystery writer behind Park Avenue society blog SocialiteRank is scenester Derek Blasberg (not fashion scribe Peter Davis). Oh, sure, Blasberg has denied it. And the twittering we hear from uptown suggests Isaiah Wilner might have some other ideas when his New York magazine article hits newsstands. Radar contacted several subjects who contributed to Wilner's piece, and if they are to be believed, he's nowhere near as in touch as you people. Says one interviewee, "Wilner didn't even seem to know who these girls were a few months ago. I can't imagine he'd figure out who's behind all this drama." Then there's People's Revolution überflack Kelly Cutrone (publicist for rumored NY mag story subject Olivia Palermo), who had this to say about the allegedly dubious tactics employed by Wilner to get his story: "I think it's pretty pathetic when you [Wilner] have to trick people into getting in your story. It's like giving a girl Rophynol so she'll fuck you." As for those of you already jonesing for your daily post about the status-obsessed stars of SR, the anonymous—and nominally nicer—site ParkAvenuePeerage has already picked up the baton (and inherited SR's ragtag group of catty commentators). We even spotted an outtake from our own spring fashion shoot on the home page. In the comments, the following obit for SocialiteRank was posted yesterday: Paid Notice: Deaths SOCIALITERANK.COM Blasberg did not immediately respond to requests for comment on our poll.
