42nd president of the U.S. Bill Clinton revealed his wish for 2011 during The Economist's "World in 2011" dinner Thursday: to become a grandfather!

"My personal wish for 2011 is that my daughter's first year of married life will be happy," he told NY Bureau Chief of The Economist Matthew Bish during the gala at Skylight Studios in New York.

"And that I will either begin the process of becoming a grandparent, or by this time next year have some vague idea about whether it will occur before I'm 90."

LOL!

"I'll get in trouble for telling you the truth on this," Clinton then added, referencing daughter Chelsea.

"I'm going to get killed for this."

Clinton also spoke openly about hot topics during his half-hour speech and Q&A at the gala, explaining why he believes Russia and Qatar were selected for the FIFA World Cup ("As [soccer] becomes the universal world sport, it actually gives a slight edge to places where FIFA is trying to penetrate and hope to expand the passion for soccer... They wanted to say, here's a good non-terrorist, non-bigoted way of embracing the modernization attempt of the Middle East,") also noting that "if the economy recovers, which I expect it to, I expect Obama to be re-elected."

Check out his ode to Chelsea, above.

"So Pink Friday under the 'HipHop/Rap' genre has the highest selling first week from a female in HISTORY. #cheers"

Poison Ivy was beyond honored to attend The Hollywood Agency's Night of Fashion for a Cause benefiting STOMP Out Bullying Tuesday night at the Ainsworth, where we watched the 2010 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show with sounds by DJ Jus-Ske and DJ Price.

We caught up with our pal Lance Bass, who spoke out about bullying others during his high school days.

"I was bullied and I was a bully," Bass told P.I.

"I was bullied for being 5'5 my whole life... And when bullies made gay jokes, I laughed along. I wanted to hide that I was gay."

Bass also chatted with us about super boy band NKOTBSB ("I think it's awesome... I think we're going to see a lot of boy bands reuniting these days") and what he's been working on ("I'm writing in the studio with a few artists that will be out next year").

Also in the house were Selita Banks (there earlier with boytoy Kanye West), performer of the night Tamar Kaprelian, and Tinsley Mortimer, who is hard at work on a new book (out in February via Simon & Schuster).

Runaway co-stars Kanye West and Selita Ebanks looked super cozy at the New Yorkers for Children Wrap to Rap benefit at The Ainsworth in New York City Wednesday!

"Kanye was here wrapping presents with his girlfriend Selita Ebanks," Tinsley Mortimer told P.I., putting all the "just friends" rumors to rest.

"You could tell they were being careful about not showing PDA in front of all the media," another attendee revealed.

"Their chemistry was undeniable. Yeezy was mesmerized by everything Selita said."

"Selita is a good girl," our source added. "This will be a nice change from Kanye's last relationship."

Congrats!
