Members Of The Media Live "The Good Life" In Bridgehampton

Members of the media, including on-air talent from all three cable news networks, lived the good life in the Hamptons this past weekend — quite literally. At a sunset cocktail party dubbed "A Taste of the Good Life, with BEST LIFE," hosted by Fine Living's Eric Villency and his wife Kimberly, MSNBC's Dan Abrams, Fox News' Geraldo Rivera, CNN's Alina Cho, and ABC News' Gigi Stone were all spotted rubbing shoulders with the likes of Men's Health editor-in-chief Dave Zinczenko and Page Six's Richard Johnson. Thankfully, PatrickMcMullan.com's Neil Rasmus was there to capture it all. Below, a selection of photos from Saturday's Bridgehampton gathering:

LMAO! Life in the Hamptons isn't as rosy as this article leads one to believe. Try reading the latest Vanity Fair on real estate in the Hamptons. McMansions are vacant and on foreclosure lists! They can be had for less than half what they went for merely a year ago. Only the VERY rich who can afford $50M+ are living there. I'm not crying for any of these people but just pointing out these articles are half-truths masking the real situation. The economy is in the tank!

That's why the John Edwards implosion is such a loss for the 2 Americas.

He would have been there for these poor revelers.

Feeling the pain of the loss of the federally funded $400 haircut (which is now only $200 I hear).

Journalistic integrity just oozes, don't it?

[Moka11]

Media elites at play stroking each other while simultaneously having a tax-write-off social gathering. They are all so pretty and clean and represent the lack of diversity of the country they report on.

Dan Abrams is so hot!

[JScott]

The hair is a hairpiece!!!!!

[FdeBear]

If so, it's an expensive one. You could have fooled me.

MAKE MAKE OUR LIVES BETTER.. VOTE YOUR INTEREST PEOPLE... THE REPUBLICANS HAVE HAD POWER FOR THE LAST 8 YEARS.. AND LOOK WHERE IT'S GOTTEN US..

[shengirl]

well this certainly explains why the media is so in touch with the concerns of average Americans. And then they sneer about O being "elitist."

[SpaceyG]

Yeah, so what? Atlanta media party down like that all the time. Thing about us though, we do it with lots more diversity. Politicians too.

How come every time I see Geraldo, the term "reach around" comes to mind, especially in that first photo.

[DaOne]

No fkn kidding, what's that all about!

[drjay79]

boring article.........boring people

[JScott]

It's all about rich famous pretty people gathering at PRESTIGIOUS events.
Essentially saying to all the folks who make them money (aka viewers, subscribers etc.) see I'm famous, pretty, rich and prestigious and I get invited to these events AND YOU DON'T!!!!!

[marymansour]

Geraldo has a pretty wife and the host, Villency, is a hunk.

[robXdion]

Yoooooo!! Geraldo is standing way too close to Dan Abrams. Did he hump his leg?

[donorman]

They looked like they were REALLY enjoying each other's company.

[luvangelHussein330]

Explains alot...why tell the story correctly in an unbiased manner when you can get paid to live it up in the Hamptons...gotta love it

[Opt1musPr1me]

Doesn't this get boring for these folks? The same people the same conversations, the same everything?

[BlueZoo]

Just look at that last photo! They look like they're SO enjoying themselves, don't they? For the life of me, I don't know why these people even bother. None of them is having any fun!

[honeydiva]

a bunch of tang drinkers.
