Samantha Ronson’s secret talent? Bowling. The deejay took a break from manning the decks at a party for sister Charlotte’s JCPenney line, I Heart Ronson, and turned the music duties over to Danny Masterson so she could hit the lanes at Hollywood’s Spare Room. “Samantha bowled about six or seven games,” said a spy. “She loves to bowl and was pretty good.” Zac Efron rolled up on his long board and bowled with Rashida Jones. Ashlee Simpson, Paris and Nicky Hilton and Nicole Richie all picked out I Heart Ronson pieces from a gift area.

It feels like just yesterday we were celebrating last year’s CFDA nominees and winners in the Alice Tully Hall at the Lincoln Center. The ceremony—then in its 9th year—honored Marc Jacobs as Womenswear Designer of the Year, Menswear Designer of the Year went to Rag & Bone, and Iman was the recipient of the Fashion Icon Award. Tonight marks the event’s 10th year of recognizing the outstanding contributions made to American fashion by individuals from all areas of the industry and related arts.
Twitter has been buzzing with CFDA news, with the @CFDA team live-tweeting the behind-the-scenes excitement. Perhaps buzziest news of all: the fact that Lady Gaga will receive the Fashion Icon Award. Just a preview of what she’ll look like, consider this tweet:
Getting ready with my sister for the CFDA Fashion Awards. Eyebrows burning with bleach. I should just friggin shave them. Amen, Fashion.
Aside from a big dose of Gaga, awards will be given for design excellence in womenswear, menswear and accessories as well as extraordinary accomplishments in journalism, creative vision and lifetime achievement. Below is the list of this year’s nominees. We wish you all the best of luck tonight!

Follow @CFDA for their live Tweets and pictures of the event tonight. Here are a few from today:
Last night we headed to Tiny’s and the Bar Upstairs in Tribeca to join Catherine Keener, Public Art Films, the Common Good, and Levi’s Film Workshop to support the benefit and auction they had put together to fund the restoration of the 1983 documentary Style Wars. The film was the first of its kind; an unprecedented look at early ’80s street culture and graffiti. It was responsible for bringing the concept of street art to the mainstream, and would emerge as a powerful and iconic snapshot of city life. The event not only honored “Style Wars” producer Henry ChalÂfant and director, the late Tony SilÂver, with the AmerÂiÂcan Spirit Award, but also raised money to restore the film’s original negatives (which are unfortunately damaged). Joy Bryant, Mary-Kate Olsen, Entourage‘s Jerry Ferrara, Spike Jonze, Beastie Boys’ Adam Horovitz were among the many who came to show their support—Horovitz DJed as well. Charlotte caught up with producer Henry Chalfant, who noted that he was hoping to come out with an HD release in order to share the film with future generations. They have been able to raise $19,384 of the $500,000 needed to restore the film. If you’d like to donate, you can make your contribution to the Style Wars restoration project here.
