Everyone who’s anyone attends fashion’s biggest night on the first day of May in New York City.
And, you know, Madonna is someone.
So, obviously she’d be climbing the grand staircase at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the 2017 Met Gala. Sarah Paulson was, clearly, just unaware of that fact.
Hahaahhahahhaahahha Love you Sarah! ♥️
A post shared by Madonna (@madonna) on May 1, 2017 at 8:50pm PDT
The Emmy-winning actress fangirled out when she spotted a camouflaged Madge on the carpet, pointing at the singer with her mouth agape.
Luckily, Madonna loved it.
Following the photobomb, Madonna enthusiastically took to Instagram to share the image, writing, “Love you Sarah!”
These two shared the moment of the night.

Going public has helped many companies grow and create jobs, so why has the number of initial public offerings (IPOs) decreased in recent years? What are the consequences of this trend on investors? The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and New York University’s Salomon Center will tackle those questions next week in New York City.
The Commission’s Division of Economic and Risk Analysis (DERA) is partnering with NYU’s Salomon Center for the Study of Financial Institutions to bring together regulators, practitioners, and academics for a half-day symposium on May 10 at NYU. Panelists will take a look at data and explore the economic causes and consequences of the perceived weakness in the IPO market, and discuss ways to encourage more capital-raising through IPOs.
“IPOs can play a critical role in fostering long-term economic growth, but as we see less and less companies taking advantage of the public markets, we could be missing important opportunities,” said Acting Chairman Michael Piwowar. “We are excited to collaborate with NYU in this event focused on the potential causes of the current state of the U.S. IPO market, as well as possible solutions to IPO decline driven by the needs of market participants.”
Attendees can expect discussions focusing on what has led to the existing condition of the IPO market, including changes in technology and funding sources, regulatory and institutional influences, and the challenges that these issues pose to firms seeking to raise capital.
The event is free and open to the public, and will kick off with welcoming remarks by Acting Chairman Michael Piwowar at 9:15 am at NYU’s Salomon Center located at 44 West 4th Street, New York, NY. Information about the event agenda and webcast will be available at DERA Events. The public is welcome to attend, and are asked to register in advance.

Ryan Reynolds really loves Blake Lively. How much you ask? Well, enough to wax poetic about her virtues during the Met Gala on Sunday night, when he could have easily spent the extra three minutes gawking at Rihanna’s dress.
The couple was stopped for a photo by Brandon Stanton, the photographer behind Humans of New York, a wildly popular photo series that collects portraits and interviews of New Yorkers around the city.
Stanton typically elicits powerful and revealing statements from his subjects, whether they be a former president of the United States or the pharmacist at your local CVS.
Reynolds took the opportunity to praise his wife and the mother of his two children for living her live with a deep compassion for humankind, which he says has changed him for the better.
A post shared by Humans of New York (@humansofny) on May 1, 2017 at 6:33pm PDT
“She always responds with empathy. She meets anger with empathy. She meets hate with empathy. She’ll take the time to imagine what happened to a person when they were five or six years old,” Reynolds said. “And she’s made me a more empathetic person. I had a very fractured relationship with my father. Before he died, she made me remember things I didn’t want to remember. She made me remember the good times.”
The actor’s father, James Reynolds, died in October of 2015 after a 20-year battle with Parkinson’s disease. Reynolds had paid tribute to his dad with an old childhood photo of his father holding him as an infant.
The couple’s first daughter James, who they welcomed in 2014, shares the same name as Reynolds’ father.

After booming for several years, setting sales records in 2015 and 2016 with over 17 million new cars and truck rolling off dealers lots, the US auto market now looks as if it’s flattening out.
Automakers will report their April numbers on Tuesday. They’re expected to show a sales pace of about 17 million for 2017, slightly below the last two years.
The so-called “replacement rate” in the US is about 15 million in annual vehicle sales, so the pace is running well above that. And both Ford and General Motors have said that they can be profitable in a market that’s undergoing a deep sales decline.
Instead of backslaps and high-fives in the auto industry, a robust round of fretting has been set off by this news. The good times are coming to a close, according to the naysayers. Get ready for a fall!
This negative view hinges on the probability that there isn’t much additional growth in the US market, if any — a confounding notion because the US auto market doesn’t really need growth above a certain level of steady profitability, which is where we’re at now. The latest outlet to worry about the sales trend is Bloomberg, where an analysis of weak car buying by driving-age Americans suggests that the market should be at 20 million in annual sales.
Over the past 36 years, the pace of sales has on occasion spiked to 20 million or higher. But the market has never wrapped up a year at that level, which would be a whopping 2 million to 3 million above the records set in 2015 and 2016. And throughout the industry, the verdict on the past two years is that a market running at 17 million is a very healthy market indeed.
If there’s another three million in new-car sales out there, it could promote some potentially disastrous moves. At the moment, car companies in the US are running at or near full manufacturing capacity to serve the current level of demand. If they were to add factories, they would be in for trouble when a sales downturn arrives.
The Big Three US automakers — General Motors, Ford, and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles — have also been racking up money quarter after quarter, as trucks and SUVs continue to be snapped up by consumers. GM, Ford, and FCA collectively brought in $100 billion in revenue for just the first quarter of 2017, with much of it coming from the US market. To varying degrees, the Big Three have an almost ideal mix of vehicles on sale; SUVs and pickups are major profit-drivers.
Unfortunately, the economic outlook for business generally has become enamored with growth as a be-all and end-all. A market that isn’t growing is a market that’s doomed, the thinking goes. It’s a gold-rush mentality that makes sense in consumer electronics and retail, where goods and services are mutable and disposable.
But when you’re talking about cars, you’re talking about a major purchase — on average in the US, around $35,000 — that has to be financed over a lengthy period of time. As long as the mix of vehicles is profitable and the US market is running a sales pace of about 15 million per year, with flowing credit, the automakers will do fine.
With a market running 2 million to 3 million above that level, as it is now, they will do better than fine. The strong cash positions of Ford and GM bear this out — their balance sheets look very solid now.
It’s hard for any modern business leader to make, if not an anti-growth case, then a sort of “steady state” argument. And to be sure, all the world’s major automakers are starting to explore new lines of business, ranging from electric cars and ride-sharing to self-driving taxis.
But these are currently all experiments. The automakers’ core business supports them. But if a preoccupation with core-business growth persists — and takes on a negative dimension, should growth disappear — then car companies will have to abandon their more ambitious plans and devise ways to amp up their core businesses, in the US, and elsewhere.
It’s a toxic formula, leading to production increased for demand that doesn’t exist. Growth is good, but so is a strong US business that meets everyone’s needs, without unrealistic thinking.
