With lower Manhattan crippled and locals evacuated from their homes, hotels outside of Ground Zero rose to the occasion, helping with accommodations, supplies and even

Everyone is gossiping about Kanye West sucking face with Mary-Kate Olsen during his birthday party at the Mercer Hotel's SubMercer club. We agree the ego-filled hip-hop star and one-half of Michelle Tanner is a bizarre pairing, but we're more interested in the fact that West has moved into the hotel.

And in a twist, we actually like what she's wearing, shoes and all. We're not sure if she's still <s>forcing</s> letting AB to comp her stay but if she'd like to be an independent woman, rates at The Mercer are firmly set at $595 a night this weekend.
