Model Gemma Ward and Jay Lyons from The City were supposed to be among the — ahem — celebrity D.J.’s at the Doe Fund’s charity event last night. However, neither showed. A source reveals Jay canceled minutes before the event because he had discovered the night before that Whitney Port and Olivia Palermo would be there shooting scenes for The City. Indeed, both Olivia and Whitney showed up, the latter filming with a “tanned replacement Jay.”

But what happened to Gemma? She had arranged to appear at the event personally, without the help of an agent or manager. It’s unclear why she didn’t show, but if we find out we’ll let you know. Maybe she was just shy about her D.J. skills?

Despite the fact that she was spotted in New York the night before taking in an Animal Collective concert with her brother and some friends, Gemma Ward failed to appear for her DJ gig at the Doe Fund’s charity event last night.  The weird part: She had personally arranged to appear at the event, without the help of an agent or manager, and it’s unclear why she didn’t show.

Jimmy Jack’s new zombie rockumentary project is set to entice model Gemma Ward back to the big screen and showcase the talents of a Perth band.

The Perth-based filmmaker, who wrote the AFI award winning 2007 film The Black Balloon which starred Toni Collette and Ward, is also hoping to secure former child star Macaulay Culkin to play a lead.

Jack finished the Zombie: Sex, Brains and Rock n’ Roll script on Friday – most of which he wrote while a writer-in-residence at city bar Tiger Tiger – and is now beginning the process of securing talent for the new project which he will film in some of his favourite Perth haunts.

There was a Gemma Ward sighting late last month at Penn Station – evidence the doll faced supermodel is actually in town and potentially ready and able to work. And work she will next week, behind the DJ booth at Doe Fund’s Embrace the Blue, Celebrity DJ Series night next week.

It’s not the first time Gemma’s spun the vinyl in front of a big crowd. She was the MisShapes guest DJ at a V magazine party in November 2005 where she reportedly looked very much at home behind the turntable dressed in a bleach-stained hoodie, tight jeans and boots spinning Killer’s and Scissor Sister’s tracks.

She reportedly had no nerves that night but the noise was loud and the crowd adoring.

Will it be the same when she joins the likes of Christian Siriano, Byrdie Bell, Richie Rich, Olivia Palermo, and Q-Tip at The Doe Fund? Buy your tickets now to find out.

Amidst all this model madness there’s one particular doll face we’ve been missing.

We haven’t seen Gemma Ward since, well, we didn’t actually see The Black Balloon, so since the preview for The Black Balloon. Sister Sophie popped up at Australia Fashion Week, but Gemma’s all but disappeared since an Italian Vogue editorial with Lily at this time last year.

Until now – she’s DJing for the Doe Fund at The Angel Orensanz Foundation next week. Tickets, $150 here, buy you a few hours of drinking and dancing to tunes spun by Gemma, Byrdie Bell, Richie Rich, Olivia Palermo and Christian Siriano.

When you see her, tell her fashion misses her.

None other than Gemma Ward ! She’s a total sweetheart!

I was standing outside of Penn Station finishing up a Nat Sherman when I glanced to my right and saw her standing there with her brother Henry & friends. I was unsure if it was her at first because it was just so…unexpected! We chatted for a bit (no juicy goss to report) then they hopped in a cab and I headed home. She also complemented me on my eyes haha!
