Chatterbox: Blake Shelton And Gwen Stefani Share The Stage For Surprise Duet At Apollo In The Hamptons

On Friday afternoon, Roger Waters of Pink Floyd was spotted having lunch at 75 Main in Southampton.

Usher stopped by Almond in Bridgehampton on Friday night in search of a late night meal, but unfortunately for the Hands of Stone actor, the kitchen had already closed. He was in luck though, as the manager gave him directions to Almond’s closely located new bar Zigmund’s, whose kitchen remains open until 1 a.m. Usher ended up at the new Bridgehampton locale, where he dined on bar menu items and even stuck around to hang out with a bunch of the crew afterwards.

On Friday, honoree Janna Bullock hosted a private Hamptons dinner party in support of Hour Children’s upcoming annual East End Dream Extreme Fundraiser on Saturday, September 17th. The gathering was attended by Brody Jenner and Kaitlynn Carter, Ramona Singer, Nicole Miller and many more.

It was a friendly battle of artists versus writers at Herrick Park in East Hampton on Saturday. Former New York Yankees manager and current MLB Chief Baseball Officer, Joe Torre, threw out the 68th annual Artists & Writers Charity Softball Game’s first pitch and former New York Mets reliever John Franco took the mound to pitch a few innings for the Writers team, who defeated the Artists team 9-6. Proceeds from this year’s game will be donated to the Eleanor Whitmore Early Childhood Center, Phoenix House Academy, The Retreat and East End Hospice.

Leonardo DiCaprio and girlfriend Nina Agdal were involved in a fender bender in East Hampton on Saturday. The Revenant actor’s Range Rover was rear-ended by a woman driving a Mini Cooper. Police noted that no one was injured from the accident, and an ambulance did respond to make sure everyone was fine.

Kelly Killoren Bensimon and fashion designer Jill Stuart enjoyed dinner on the deck at the Surf Lodge with Bob Melet of Melet Mercantile while Dan Auerbach’s The Arcs performed on Saturday night. Comedian Seth Herzog and Christie Brinkley’s son, Jack Brinkley-Cook, were also at the Montauk hotspot.

This year’s star-studded Apollo in the Hamptons – held at billionaire Ron Perelman’s Creeks estate in East Hampton – included a surprise duet from Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani, who treated the audience to Go Ahead And Break My Heart – a song that the couple wrote and debuted on their NBC show The Voice. Guests enjoyed additional performances from Lionel Richie, Jon Bon Jovi, Kimberly Nichole, Pharrell Williams, and Usher. Attendees included Jennifer Lopez, Katie Holmes, Jack Nicholson, Christie Brinkley, Don Johnson, Sandra Lee and Andrew Cuomo, Megalyn Echikunwoke and Chris Rock, John McEnroe, Donny Deutsch, Robert Kraft, Charlie Rose, Mayor Bill de Blasi, and David Foster. Stefani, who headlined the event, also performed Hollaback Girl and Don’t Speak. Richie sung Hello and All Night Long, and Jon Bon Jovi performed Everyday People. The event raised nearly $5 million for the Apollo’s arts education programs.

The Michael Bolton Charities held “An Evening Under The Stars” at a private residence in Bridgehampton on Saturday. Hosted by Bill O’Reilly, the intimate Hamptons fundraising dinner and auction honored Joe and Ali Torre, founders of The Joe Torre Safe At Home Foundation, with The Michael Bolton Charities Lifetime Achievement award. The evening, which was produced by Lawrence Scott Events, also included a live performance from the charity’s founder, Michael Bolton.

Rapper O.T. Genasis had the crowd at Richie Hosein and Zach Erdem’s A.M Southampton amped while he performed his hits I’m In Love With The Coco and Cut It on Saturday.

Bobby Flay stopped by Nick & Toni’s in East Hampton on Sunday night, where he dined on the patio with a friend.

Artist Robert Mojo Keeps It Moving With Kinetic Sculptures

  • When Jesse Bongiovi launched Hampton Water Wine Co. with his dad, Jon Bon Jovi, in 2018, he helped redefine what modern rosé could look and feel like—sun-soaked, effortless, and rooted in moments shared with the people you love.⁠
⁠
Now, with the growth of Lily Pond Group, he’s expanding that vision far beyond the bottle. Influenced by years spent in the Hamptons’ uniquely relaxed and refined culture, Jesse’s approach to brand-building is all about capturing a feeling: the blend of ease, taste, and connection that defines a perfect summer day out East.⁠
⁠
With Lily Pond Group’s emerging portfolio—including Hampton Water, Five Springs, and Mezcal Mezul—Jesse is shaping brands that stand for more than just good drinks. They’re grounded in storytelling, authenticity, and community, with the kind of cultural resonance that turns a product into a lifestyle.⁠
⁠
Jesse spoke more about how he got started, how the Hamptons informed his approach, and what he sees on the horizon for the next generation of lifestyle brands.⁠
⁠
When did you come up with the concept for Hampton Water and decide to move forward with it?⁠
⁠
JB: We saw an opportunity to change the narrative around rosé and the idea of “rosé season.” We wanted something sophisticated but still fun and easygoing, something that reflected the lifestyle we love. When we connected with Gérard Bertrand, it all clicked. The quality in the juice matched the story we wanted to tell, and that’s when we knew we had something special.⁠

  • What began as a shared dream between two young farming apprentices has grown into a year-round nonprofit that feeds, teaches, and welcomes thousands of people each season. Today, co-founders Amanda Merrow and Katie Baldwin continue to nurture the land while carrying out their mission to educate and inspire through food and farming.⁠
⁠
From securing ownership of their farmland to expanding their programs, opening a year-round market, and welcoming visitors to explore the property, Amber Waves has become an essential piece of the East End’s agricultural and cultural landscape. Amanda and Katie spoke about their journey, the mission that continues to guide them, and the vision behind one of the most meaningful community-driven farms on Long Island.⁠
⁠
What core mission drives the farm today, and how has that mission evolved since the beginning?⁠
⁠
Amanda & Katie: We met in 2008 while completing a farming apprenticeship at Quail Hill Farm where we both discovered our shared love of farming. By that July, we were already dreaming up ways to continue farming together in Amagansett. When we founded Amber Waves Farm, our vision was to build something greater than ourselves—something that would outlive us. Our original idea, the “Amagansett Wheat Project,” grew out of a daydream to create a “pizza farm,” and our name, Amber Waves, pays homage to grain production—a line from the song “America the Beautiful”. From the beginning, we chose to be a nonprofit because our mission—to teach and connect people through food and farming—has always been at the heart of what we do.⁠

  • Philanthropist, TV host, author and longtime supporter and chairwoman of the Viennese Opera Ball Jean Shafiroff hosted and underwrote a reception with over 100 guests at her New York residence to officially kick off the 70th Annual Viennese Opera Ball, one of New York’s oldest and most prestigious white-tie galas celebrating Austrian culture, diplomacy, and the enduring friendship between Austria and the United States.⁠
⁠
“The Viennese Opera Ball represents elegance, culture, and the timeless beauty of the arts,” said Jean Shafiroff. “It is a privilege to host this gathering in celebration of its 70th year as we honor tradition while supporting the next generation of artistic excellence.

  • On Saturday, December 13th, Heart of the Hamptons held its highly anticipated 22nd Annual Polar Bear Plunge at the famous Cooper’s Beach in Southampton. Nearly 300 participants cheered along with the countdown before plunging into the Atlantic Ocean.⁠
⁠
Some sported Santa hats, Santa overalls, team shirts, and of course, this year’s iconic Polar Bear Plunge cap or beanie. The plunge drew a crowd of over 600 people and raised over $350,000. ⁠
⁠
Heart of the Hamptons’ Executive Director Molly Bishop said, “The feeling of support and togetherness was so appreciated by the staff and volunteers at HOH. We’ve had a challenging year adjusting to the increased need for our help, and knowing we have this type of support behind us means everything! Thank you to everyone who came out!” ⁠
