Once in a while you'll even find blurbs in gossip columns which brings me to today's bit: on Page Six of January 2nd's New York Post, there's an entry regarding Lindsay Lohan's latest conquests while in Italy and one involved the son of Giuseppe Faiella, better known as Peppino di Capri:
"January 2, 2008 -- LINDSAY Lohan certainly ended her year with a bang, making out with three different guys in less than 24 hours while in Capri for a film festival. She was first caught snuggling on a sofa, kissing and holding the hand of waiter Allesandro di Nunzio, shortly after arriving on the island, reports Britain's Sun. A few hours later she was at it again with handsome older actor Eduardo Costa. And last, she was seen smooching long-haired hunk Dario Faiella, son of Italian music legend Peppino Di Capri."
Faiella, a jazz musician, had recently been dating the daughter of Al Bano and Romina; I doubt they're still together - Dario was reportedly the luckiest of Lohan's trio of dates as he was seen entering Lohan's hotel room. Regardless, this publicity must be pure gold for him.
Hopefully these reports of Dario's adventure also give his father a bit of a boost in google searches.

Several years ago, I remember something on Page Six about Kevin Costner being enchanted by Laura Pausini's music at a party and persuaded her to perform a song in English for the soundtrack to his film "Message in a Bottle."
More recently, I remember seeing a local story about a dinner Toto Cutugno had in a restaurant on Staten Island. If there's one Italian pop star that could command that kind of attention in Italian, or even Russian, areas in the States, it would be him.
