this?” Finn challenged.
    â€œNo, but it didn’t stop girls from dating me. They knew what the deal was.”
    Finn took a generous sip of wine. “So explain this, super stud. How is it that you let women like Lara and Emma slip away and end up marrying the Aspens and the Tillys of the world?”
    Dean Paul groaned miserably. “Oh, shit. I can’t believe you just pulled the Aspen card. That’s cold.”
    Finn laughed.
    Aspen Bauer’s claim to fame was a stint on MTV’s The Real World . Her marriage to Dean Paul lasted only a few months, after which she served jail time for fleeing the scene of a hit-and-run accident that left a child in a coma.
    â€œThe last thing I heard about her was that she was doing that pay-per-view Lingerie Bowl on Super Bowl Sunday.” Dean Paul shook his head. “I can’t believe I married her. What was I thinking?”
    His attention faltered as a model-thin brunette sashayed past the booth. Dean Paul tracked her with a heat-seeking gaze until she was out of sight.
    â€œDo you know her?”
    â€œI’d like to. I bet she tastes good in all the right places.” He laughed and refilled his wine.
    â€œWould you ever cheat on Tilly?” Finn wondered.
    â€œShe takes Lexapro. The drive is still there, but it takes her forever to come, so she doesn’t want to be bothered most of the time.We’re a once-a-month couple at best.”
    â€œIs that a yes?” Finn asked.
    â€œHow long could you live on boring sex once a month?” Dean Paul countered.
    â€œI don’t know. Probably longer than you.”
    â€œAre you seeing anyone that I don’t know about?”
    Finn could feel his face grow hot. Whenever Dean Paul inquired about his dating life, he became instantly uncomfortable.“Not really.”
    â€œ Not really? Guess you’re still hanging out in the back rooms of clubs late at night.”
    â€œI’ve never done that!” Finn protested angrily.
    Dean Paul zeroed in with a ray-gun gaze. “ Never? ”
    â€œWell ... it’s been years,” Finn admitted.
    â€œWhore.” Dean Paul drank up and laughed.
    Finn glanced around the restaurant. It was past two o’clock, and the lunch rush had filtered out, leaving Balthazar, the French bistro on SoHo’s Spring Street, which was usually crammed to capacity, refreshingly near empty. “You never answered my question.”
    â€œI’m almost hammered. Refresh my memory.”
    â€œWould you ever cheat on Tilly?”
    Dean Paul gave Finn a tipsy stare. “You’re assuming I haven’t already.”
    Finn rolled his eyes. “Stupid me.”
    â€œI was in L.A. for Hollywood Live last May working the upfronts for the new television season. There was this hot young actress who’s on some CW sitcom that’ll probably be cancelled next week. I hit it. Couldn’t resist. But that’s the only time. Are you ashamed of me?”
    Finn raised up both hands in mock surrender. “No judgmenthere. It’s your life.”
    â€œThis is just between us, right? If you tell any of those bitches on that show, it’ll get to Simone and then back to Tilly.”
    â€œI know how to keep a confidence.”
    â€œGood. And don’t be jealous. Who knows? Next time I cheat, maybe it’ll be with you.”

    And you thought Kimora Lee Simmons was a vacuous glamazon in grave need of a tour of hunger-ravagedAfrica. Some say Kimora has the empathy of Angelina Jolie when compared to the latest shallowprincess on the scene. As she wrapped up her first week on that new morning gabfest—a surprise runaway hit—station e-mail boxes were cyber-stuffed with complaints from parents of less-than-beautiful babies, overweight people, Christians, lesbians with bad haircuts, women with more than one cat, and men named Chad. Who will she offend
