{blackbabes} Carter too square for Nicki

Graydon Carter said he had no idea who Nicki Minaj was before she took the stage at the Bid to Save the Earth charity auction at Christie's on Tuesday night. "I'm kind of square," the Vanity Fair editor, one of the co-hosts, joked to us. He credited Vogue's director of special events, Sylvana Soto-Ward, with helping to book the pint-size rap star to perform. Diane Kruger, Anna Wintour, Gayle King, Michael Kors, Rachel Roy, Lauren Remington Platt and Vivi Nevo (who told us he was a fan of Minaj) also attended the "green auction" to benefit several environmental causes, emceed by funnyman Seth Meyers and Christie's Lydia Fenet. Guests including Zani Gugelmann, Ted Danson, Karolina Kurkova, Tory Burch and Lyor Cohen then headed to the after-party at Monkey Bar hosted by La Mer.
