The Saturday-night millionaires crowd at Bob's Steak & Chop House on Lemmon was aglow from the Dallas Stars' Game 5 win in Detroit. As the $200 bottles of Meritage flowed, a spectral vision appeared.

Mike Modano, just off the plane from Detroit, walked into Bob's accompanied by his father, Mike Modano Sr. The diners leapt to their feet to applaud and give the Dallas Star a standing O.

Amidst the euphoria, there are some hard facts. No bookmaker would give short odds on the Stars winning the series. But reading the Detroit Free Press, one gets a taste for blood. "Marty Turco committed grand theft today," columnist Drew Sharp wrote Saturday, "stealing another 48 hours of playoff life for Dallas when there was no other alternative." It would be better than sweet to steal another 48 tonight at the AAC.

Many of the celebrated alums of the Booker T. Washington High School for Performing and Visual Arts are returning to campus for the gala opening of the school's new $55 million facility.

Grammy-winning alums Erykah Badu, Norah Jones and Shawn Martin all will perform at the June 7 gala at the arts magnet school. Fellow alum Elizabeth Mitchell (she plays Juliet Burke on TV's Lost) will emcee the evening. The word is that trumpeter Roy Hargrove and jazz pianist Frank LoCrasto will also appear.

Philanthropist Nancy Hamon gave $10 million toward the restoration and expansion of Booker T.'s 1922 campus in the Arts District. Believed to be the largest private grant ever made to a public high school, it has earned Nancy the distinction of being homecoming queen at the gala.

Dallas arts patrons Catherine Rose (granddaughter of former Neiman's chairman Stanley Marcus) and Sharon Young are co-chairing the benefit and have dubbed the event "Homecoming: Arts Magnet Returns."

Earlier this month, locally raised mega-model Erin Wasson broke her foot while running during the filming of a commercial in LA with Justin Timberlake. Whether or not the foot broke – as the New York Post speculates – because "the leggy mannequin's feet were so damaged by years of wearing only stilettos," well, let's leave that to an orthopedist.

But Erin does have some time off while she heals (heels?), so back she came to Dallas.

Erin – staying at the Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek – turned up Thursday evening at the Preston Royal needlepoint boutique Creative Stitches and Gifts to pick threads and stitches. She is on crutches and wearing a boot for the next three weeks.
