It was just another day on the town for Taylor Swift, Calvin Harris and a dozen or so photographers. The pop-star pair grabbed a bite in the West Village with their pal Ed Sheeran on Thursday, shortly before Sheeran put on a two-hour concert in Queens.
BAILEY SURPRISES HIS HUBBY
Preston Bailey has thrown parties for Oprah Winfrey, Uma Thurman and Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones, but Thursday night, he got to mix work and pleasure by throwing a surprise birthday bash for his husband Theo Bleckmann. “Bailey spared no expense bringing in a mariachi band, sombreros and guitars made completely of roses,” said one of the 30 guests at Hell’s Kitchen’s Cantina Rooftop, which overlooks the Hudson River. We’re told guests sampled Cantina’s pineapple frozen margaritas and ceviches.
LILO FREE BUT STILL OBSERVED

WHO WAS THAT UNMASKED MAN?
Rangers fans had several reasons to watch Friday night’s game — especially if they’re friends with billionaire Stewart Rahr. The self-proclaimed “Lone Ranger” sent an email blast to all of his friends saying the first 10 people who spot him on TV will get $5,000 each donated to the charity of their choice if they correctly emailed back his location in the stadium when he appears on TV. He also planned to give $25,000 to the first person in the stadium who came over to say hello and had a charity in mind. We’re guessing Rahr had good seats.
GAGA OVER FIDO FASHIONS
Call her Lady Bow Wow. Pop star Lady Gaga is creating a clothing line for puppies.

I love to eat while I sketch my ideas for the fashionable puppy line I’m starting!” After touting how beneficial organic food has been for her own body and brain, Gaga further wrote “That’s why I’m inspired to also create A Pet Food Line (sic).”
