Once upon a time there was a man named Cleveland Heep who worked at an apartment complex as a maintenance man. One day he found a girl from the blue world? and his life was forever changed.

T-Mobile continued to sell Apple's iPhone in Germany on Tuesday, despite a legal challenge filed on Monday by rival Vodafone. Vodafone charges that the sale of an unsubsidized, locked handset with a 24-month contract violates German competition law, said Simon Gordon, a Vodafone spokesman in the U.K. On Monday, a court in Hamburg granted a temporary injunction against T-Mobile, although the terms of that order do not stop the operator from selling the iPhone, said representatives for Vodafone and T-Mobile. European mobile phone operators typically subsidize the cost of handsets for customers who sign long-term contracts, but the handsets are locked and won't work on other networks. Some countries regulate such behavior. Customers can also pay full price for unlocked phones that will work with any network. T-Mobile refutes the accusation that its iPhone sales violate German law. "We have an exclusive device in our portfolio, but if you look at the market, that's normal," said a T-Mobile spokesman in Germany. "The main thing is we will sell the iPhone. There is no stop to selling the iPhone." Another court hearing will be held in about two weeks, although a date has not been scheduled. Vodafone did not ask the court to stop T-Mobile from selling the iPhone, Gordon said. Vodafone would like to see a court eventually mandate that T-Mobile sell an unlocked version of the iPhone for the same or less as today's locked version, he said. T-Mobile said it sold about 15,000 iPhones on Nov. 9, the day it launched in Germany, but has not released figures for sales since then. The 8GB iPhone sells for €399 ($589) including 19 percent value-added tax. The price in the U.S. is $399 excluding sales tax. Apple's tight control of the iPhone and the locking of the device to the networks of its chosen operators hasn't gone down well with users, either. Hackers have succeeded in modifying the firmware to let the iPhone run on other networks, but Apple has invalidated the hacks in successive updates of the phone's software. In France, Apple's partner Orange plans to release an unlocked version this month to comply with a law there that forbids tying a cell phone to a specific operator. The iPhone is due to go on sale in France Nov. 29. In its October earnings conference call, Apple estimated that some 18 percent of the iPhones sold by then, or about 250,000 of them, had been unlocked to run on networks other than that of its its U.S. partner AT&T.
MacGyver-esque inventory puzzles make this an acceptable, if exceedingly conventional, adventure.

The unattractive PR Girls at the rear entrance for press and celebrities didn't know Out editor in chief Aaron Hicklin said he'd bring wristbands for us. "I thought you didn't want to do red carpet," a senior UPRG said when we arrived un-RSVPed. We asked if Aaron had arrived. "He just walked the red carpet. I don't know if he's talking to websites, but I'll find out for you." Um, senseless meowery much? We caught Aaron on his way to the bar filled with all flavors of Absolut. "You're fine. They're fine, but I need a drink," he told the UPRG who scuttled back to her place in the cold doorway. We returned to the end of the red carpet, teeming with gays eating penne marinara. "Oh my God there's Jennifer Hudson!" one said. Ten yards away, she stood in a white dress with matching fur shrug. "Where? Where?!" "Right there! See?!" "Oh my God—I can't see her!" Recognizing is tough—especially Jennifer Hudson wearing head-to-toe white. Then we spotted Marc Jacobs talking to camera crews. When he finished with them he headed into the crowd on the heels of boyfriend Jason Preston, who was sporting super spikey hair and some sort of biker chic look. The print reporters started throwing noisy tantrums and Marc—smart businessman and nice guy—returned for more interviews. This awarded us closer inspection of Preston and his Louis Vuitton belt and faded black Bon Jovi tee shirt, which was made yet more offensive by a smattering of neatly cut holes. He stood scowling with his hip cocked to one side. We asked how he knew Marc. "I'm his boyfriend," he said with a pout. That was fun. He admitted it annoyed him when Marc did interviews. When Marc finished with some queer radio station, Preston grabbed him by the hand and they trotted to the upstairs VIP area. Not far behind we spotted a fauxlebrity moonlighting as a blue ostrich: Amanda Fields, model from Project Runway Season 3. We wanted to know which species of bird was now listed on the endangered species list thanks to her "I don't know what it's made of. Ostrich? I'm Amanda Fields, you know," she said. Silly, we already sort of knew that! She said Malan Breton, designer from Project Runway Season 3, made it. "If you want you can come upstairs with me and I can take you to him so he can tell you about it," she said. "If you're allowed up there." Before I could take up her offer she flapped away with a suit on her arm.
Mmm hmm. Beyond the VIP room and into the VVIP room we went. Marc and Jason pranced about. "Hi! I met you at the ACE Accessories Awards Monday night," a blond gay said to Marc. They looked good standing next to each other and Jason stomped off down the balcony. "Ohhhh. Right," Jacobs lied. He took a moment to himself to smoke cigarettes by the bathroom door, depositing four butts in someone's half-drunk vodka soda.
With Tori Spelling echoing over a microphone down on the stage, we did our best to eavesdrop on Jason's convo with the blond and a brunette. We picked out the phrase "little boys." As in: "He likes little boys," Jason said, tilting his head toward Marc.
Downstairs, Chaka Kahn was performing in the same awful black witch outfit she wore at the Angels Ball charity thing we saw her at a couple weeks ago. She exited stage right, and we exited stage left. By the way, no wristbands=no giftbag.
