The Pines Party — the annual Fire Island extravaganza that draws 3,500 people to the beach — nearly went off the rails when its producer walked in on his entire staff at a surprise sex party the night before the event.
Guy Smith, who has produced the Pines Party since 2013, reveals the behind-the-scenes chaos in a new episode of Finding Fire Island, the GLAAD-nominated documentary podcast series now streaming.
Smith tells host Jess Rothschild that one of his volunteers threw a sex party in the staff house last year — without telling Smith, and without inviting him — while the rest of the crew was supposed to be getting ready for the next morning’s load-in.
“I walked in with my assistant,” Smith recalls. “It was like the Deadwood Saloon. Suddenly, everyone froze. It was like tumbleweed.”
Smith says he calmly confronted the orgy organizer:
“I don’t know where you got the unmitigated gall to think that you could throw a sex party in my house that I rented for my staff. But if everyone that’s here is not gone, and everyone that is supposed to be here is not in bed, when I come back in 30 minutes, I can’t be held responsible for what I do to you.”
They complied.
The Pines Party benefits Stonewall Community Foundation, The Pines Foundation, and the Seashore Defense Fund and has raised $4.8 million for its beneficiaries over 27 years.
The next event takes place July 31–Aug. 2.

Batman used to be rich, the alter ego of Bruce Wayne, a wealthy playboy, philanthropist, and industrialist in Gotham City. But he’s being reinvented in “Absolute Batman,” an animated series from DC Studios and Warner Bros. Animation.
Now he’s “a working-class hero … on a mission to prove that even in an era of wealth, power and corruption, one good person can change the world,” the studio says.
I guess the part of his butler, Alfred, will have to be reworked.
“No manor, no money … all Batman. When you take away the manor, the money, the advantages, what you’re left with is something absolute.”
Mayor Mamdani might approve.
DC Studios is also launching “Krypto,” a cartoon for kids based on Superman’s dog, who “tags along with a gang of misfit criminal wannabes … they soon discover he’s a ball of destructive, lovable energy worse than any of them!”
Finally, there’s “Joker: Laugh Riot” that has Batman murdered and his greatest adversary hunting down the killers. “Joker is forced to confront the truth that without Batman, he doesn’t know who he is.”

Politicians love smoke filled rooms. But so do tech gurus.
Jack Brown lives in Philly and Florida but came to the Carnegie Club in the shadow of Carnegie Hall for his 70th birthday. And so did a lot of his friends.
“I’ve been coming here 25 years,” Brown said. “It puts ‘Cheers’ to shame.”
“This is the last surviving cigar boom era establishment that opened in the ‘90s to capture that passion,” said George Brightman, an events planner from Washington, D.C. “All the others are ngone.”
New York Hall of Fame boxing ring announcer David Diamante says, “Carnegie is all about great stories, great laughs. It’s a slice of old New York. And in boxing terms, it’s still punching.”
Brooklyn’s Chris Corbin was a bartender here and got recruited to represent Angel’s Envy bourbon. “There’s no place like it on earth. The networking, the friendships, it’s insane. The cigar is the common denominator. And the Sinatra show on the weekends.”
Steve Maglio packs them in on weekends. And you can bump into George Hamilton or Steve Harvey. But on this Wednesday night, the main attraction is Brown in a white linen shirt and Panama hat.
“He’s the real puff daddy,” quips PBS film critic Bill McCuddy. “I want to be him when I turn 70. I gotta hurry. That’s in six months.”

“Full House” star John Stamos — who appears in Danny DeVito’s upcoming horror comedy “Drag” — had a bad nose job in the ‘80s, and went to Michael Jackson’s surgeon, Dr. Steven Hoefflin, to get it fixed.
“I was on ‘General Hospital,’ and I just didn’t like the way it looked, and so I got it done, and it didn’t look great,” he told Bobbi Althoff on The Really Good Podcast earlier this month.
The actor has also said, “Who better to handle the delicate task of resculpting my nose than the man who created a whole new face for M.J.?”
Stamos’ confession has brought the issue of rhimnoplasty, one of the country’s most popular procedures for people as young as 16, back into the spotlight.
Dr. Luis Macias, who practices in Marina del Rey, CA, says, “Most revision patients aren’t looking for perfection. They’re looking for restoration of balance, function and confidence.”
Dr. Asif Pirani from Toronto, Canada, where surgery is generally more price-conscious than in the US, told me, “What works well for one person may not be appropriate for another, and the best results are individualized rather than based on celebrity trends.”
Dr. Rozbeh Torabi, who practices in Arizona, summed it all up, stating, “Patients see a celebrity nose job and assume it’s a one-time aesthetic tweak, but in reality, rhinoplasty is one of the most technically unforgiving operations in facial surgery.”
Stamos said he’s finally “happy with my nose.”

Golf champion and native New Yorker Cameron Young, who won the 2026 Players Championship in Florida, took a quick break before the US Open to go to a party that society swan Jean Shafiroff hosted for him at her waterfront mansion in Southampton.
The handsome pro, whom Jean called “very cute,” offered to give her golf lessons after Jean confessed, “I can’t hit the ball, I don’t know how to swing.”
The next night, Jean stopped traffic when she tripped on the hem of her retro Oscar de la Renta gown and fell while crossing the street on her way to the Morphew Vintage shop, where she was hosting a party for her daughter’s charity, Global Strays.
Luckily, two Good Samaritans rushed to her rescue. Jean said, “I think my brightly colored dress saved me from being hit by a car.”
The event raised funds for dog rescues and veterinary care around the world.
