THE PARTY SLATE AT THIS DECEMBER'S Art Basel in Miami was so full that celebrities and artists ended up dining in a parking lot. It had been cleared of cars, luckily, and a carpet had been laid down to create an all-white extravaganza for Moncler at Miami's landmark Herzog & de Meuron structure. (Party favors were white capes, in case guests got chilly.) No momentos, not even photos of the sculptures in his batting cages, could be taken at A-Rod's bash at his art-filled home (on the market for $38 million). And the only thing trumping the news that Jeff Koons left gallerist Larry Gagosian for David Zwirner was the gossip about the stray kitten temporarily adopted by Demi Moore.
