Artist, Montauk resident and director Julian Schnabel is receiving Oscar buzz for his critically acclaimed film The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. He was already awarded Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival for his complicated film about a blinking eye. * * * Saroosh Gull and Ojas Vaidya have produced two calendars featuring twelve American women of South Asian descent who they say are the hottest they could find. After shooting the 2007 calendar in and around Hoboken, N.J., the men decided to take it up a notch by moving the operation east. The second was created during a whirlwind series of shoots during a week’s rental in Westhampton Beach in August. They were so pleased with the beaches and friendly village officials that next summer they are looking to shoot even farther east, maybe in Amagansett or Montauk. The calendar is available exclusively at www.desiclub.com. * * * Last Sunday, Guild Hall began their Fifth Annual Winter Film Series, which runs through March 16. Kicking off the series was French film Dreams of Dust. * * * Auteur and Hamptonite Steven Spielberg has closed on the purchase of a three-acre lot on Apaquogue Road this week for a little less than its asking price of $19.95 million. The property, which includes a 4,500-square foot six-bedroom home — likely a tear down — will be added to his already impressive Georgica Pond digs. Spielberg is also in talks to purchase an adjacent lot owned by the estate of the late philanthropist Arthur Ross. Spielberg’s neighbors include writers Nora Ephron and Nick Pileggi. * * * Daniel Pelosi, currently serving twentyfive years to life upstate for murdering multimillionaire East Hampton financier Theodore Ammon months before marrying Ammon’s widow, has filed a $150 million federal lawsuit against the prosecutors who won his conviction. A psychiatric evaluation in which Pelosi admitted to having “defects,” including “anger and rage,” was illegally used by Suffolk District Attorney Thomas Spota and trial prosecutor Janet Albertson at his 2004 murder trial, according to Pelosi, who is his own attorney. * * * The Old Montauk Athletic Club Winter 5k Road Race through East Hampton will be held this Sunday. The event is co-sponsored by New Balance and Gubbins, and will have tournaments based on different age groups. This race marks the beginning of the Winter Series Run.
