I miss the good ol days when Fabian was swinging from rafters and pitying the dead for having died in coach.

FABIAN Basabe wants you to know there's much more to him than his image as a pretty-boy party animal. The married socialite, who's been tagged "the male Paris Hilton," has his flacks planting the news that he's volunteering in Brooklyn for a program called Spirituality for Kids Outreach, which helps at-risk children in poor, high-crime areas. Could be Basabe's finally making up for his despicable behavior at the Star Room in Wainscott last July, when he made ugly remarks to the black bouncers who were booting him for being drunk and disorderly.
