00:06Helena Bonham Carter.

00:07Helena Bonham Carter.

00:08This is a high-end affair.

00:10Where were all these people?

00:11They're all in one page six item,

00:14and they were at the Frieze Art Fair in London.

00:16Yes, which happened.

00:17It's that time again.

00:18It's art fair time.

00:19It is art fair time.

00:21Frieze was in London this weekend,

00:23and it brought out all of the megawatt star power.

00:26Madonna was spotted.

00:27Madonna, how could I forget Madonna?

00:29Madonna was walking around with a gallerist

00:33and checking out the stuff.

00:34A source told me that she was talking

00:36to all the different gallery owners,

00:37and she seemed really knowledgeable about art.

00:40Now, if you're not a fan of the contemporary art scene,

00:44maybe you will be after watching this,

00:46Frieze is a London contemporary art fair.

00:50It also has another section called Frieze Masters

00:53if you're into older stuff,

00:55where Leonardo DiCaprio was apparently looking at some pieces.

00:58And it has spawned, it has a New York version

01:03and an L.A. version, and it's actually now owned

01:06by Hollywood agent Ari Emanuel.

01:09Yes.

01:09So it helps get a lot of stars.

01:11Was there a lot of art, were a lot of sales

01:13being racked up at this opening VIP day?

01:15So yeah, there was a $6 million Basquiat and Andy Warhol picture sold,

01:21and then there were some $1 million sales.

01:24It was Rene Magritte, Marcel Duchamp, and some other big ones.

01:29So it was like a good day for art sales, yeah.

01:33Now, of course, this being page six, we don't want to make this too dry.

01:36There was also some gossip going on at the art fair.

01:40I noticed that Lily Allen was there,

01:43and that was right on the heels of an interview she did,

01:47a cover story with a magazine, I think called Perfect,

01:50where she was talking about how hard it is to be back in the dating world

01:54after her split from Stranger Things star David Harbour.

01:58Yes.

01:58So she was at the VIP Center, but she was spotted talking to Jack Guinness,

02:03who is the founder of something called the Queer Bible.

02:06So I don't think that that was a love match.

02:09They were palling around.

02:10I think they're friends.

02:11Yeah, they're buddies.

02:13But she did look happy.

02:14She looked in good spirits after telling this magazine basically that,

02:18you know, how sort of disastrous it was going back into the dating world,

02:23and she felt that it was kind of a defeat and demoralizing.

02:27But she seemed to be rebounding pretty well.

02:29Yeah, she's out and about.

02:31She's out and about.

02:32She also moved back to London.

02:34She had been living in New York with David Harbour.

02:37They split after four and a half years together,

02:40and she's back in London finding her.

02:44I don't know if it was their L.A. house or their New York house,

02:46but there is an Architectural Digest video of their place,

02:50and I highly recommend watching it because it's like there's a lot of pink.

02:54It's great.

02:55Oh, that's amazing.

02:56It's a really interesting home.

02:57Maybe she was looking for some pink art.

03:00So now Leo, he is an avid art collector.

03:03He's at all the fairs.

03:04He's at all the fairs.

03:05He usually shows up in a ball cap and a mask.

03:08Which he did.

03:08And what was he up to at Freeze?

03:10So we hear that he was spotted walking around with Vittoria Sretti,

03:14his girlfriend, but also with her whole family,

03:16which was kind of like a cute thing, especially for him.

03:20He's usually like partying at the nightclubs or whatever.

03:23So he got some family time.

03:25He was also seen.

03:26He has a very good friend named Hallie Ahmad, who was also a gallery owner who was also pardoned by Trump.

03:31He was part of the big poker poker ring that that movie Molly's game is about.

03:37Yeah.

03:37And he was talking to they have an exhibit now.

03:40So he was talking to the artist.

03:42And it's funny because you kind of I don't know what Leo would be talking about,

03:46but I wouldn't think it would be Renaissance art.

03:48And apparently he has a very good grasp of it.

03:50And they were discussing the piece, the flagellation of Christ.

03:54Heavy.

03:55All right.

03:55So now you mentioned there are a whole bunch of other celebrities there.

03:58Rachel Weiss was there.

04:00Yes, love her.

04:01Rachel Weiss, Emma Thompson, that I mean giant British actress.

04:04Yeah.

04:06You had Princess Eugenie, who is very big in the art world.

04:10Yeah.

04:11She worked at a gallery when she lived in New York.

04:13Yeah.

04:13I think at Hauser and Worth.

04:15There was also a lot of fashion names.

04:17You had Rick Owens, Raph Simons, the new Balenciaga guy whose name I can't pronounce.

04:23Oh, yeah.

04:23Yeah.

04:24Yeah.

04:24Pier Paolo Piccolo.

04:25Yeah.

04:26Yeah.

04:26Piccolo.

04:27Yeah, that might be right.

04:29So yeah, it was like a big turnout.

04:32And like you said, it's probably because Ari Emanuel is now involved.

04:36It's just the start of art fair season.

04:39So maybe if you're new to the art world, I don't know.

04:42You know, you don't need to you can you can read art news and those things,

04:45but you can also stick with page six and find out what celebrities are doing.

04:48Art Basel coming up in Miami Beach in December.

04:52There he is.

04:54Let's go see.
