Update: Leave it to us to totally miss a key HUMAN in a photo, we’re always looking for the DOGS! Vanessa Carlton fan (or stalker, we’re not sure just yet), Casey Michaels just informed us that’s Irv Gotti behind Vanessa who is instrumental in getting her CD complete. Casey also informed us that Irv calls Vanessa “V” but the “V” necklace you see around his neck, doesn’t stand for Vanessa but rather for his late grandmother’s nickname. See what we mean? Stalker or fan? Either way, thanks Casey!

Residents and pedestrians in the area of Lafayette Street and Bond Street were disturbed today by a frightening scene as a New York yellow cab performed a burnout. It accelerated and then collided with a piano at high speed, sending debris and smoke flying down Lafayette Street.

No, this wasn’t a crazy New York City situation. It was a carefully orchestrated stunt on the set of Vanessa Carlton’s new video, Nolita Fairytale from her new CD Heroes & Thieves.

That’s her little dog, Victor walking near the set (or on the set, we’re not sure which) with her.
