After a pleasant weekend of playing tour guide to two of the most down-to-earth people on the face of the planet, I found myself Sunday evening suiting up to spend a long sober evening surrounded by the entire cast of every Law & Order ever made. Yes, folks, it was time once again for the Entertainment Weekly Oscar viewing party at Elaine's. (For those of you unaware of this shindig, it's one of

by Ken WheatonI'm sitting on a wet rock somewhere near Waimea Bay, pouring beer on my feet. For some reason, it makes perfect sense to me. And when it's empty, I'll probably stumble up the broken steps, sneak into the house and bash the bottle over my little brother's head.He'd been calling me Francis all night. "Hey, Francis, tell 'em about the time you got the DUI." "Hey, Francis, what about

So now that I've paid service to my masters and the column is in print, I feel at liberty to regale you with the tale of how I became the Grand Prize Winner in Lotus and The Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa's First Annual NYC Poker Championship. This all came about when a coworker was invited to the event by someone at Absolut, one of the sponsors. She figured I might get something there for my column

[Ed. note: This is from a friend of mine who asked me to use the name I.M. Obsessive.] So I watched the Democratic presidential debate on CNN tonight. What a cosmic freak show that was. This thing made Springer look high-brow. About half-way through, I was sincerely hoping one candidate would have the decency to lean into the microphone and start making those farting sounds with his armpit,

[Written Tuesday, March 25, 2003] Howdy folks. As some of you may have known, Sunday night I attended the Entertainment Weekly Oscar Party at Elaine's in Manhattan. This, apparently, is a big deal. It's THE New York Oscar party, I was told, invites are hard to come by and the place would be crawling with celebrities. To be honest, I almost passed on this. The invite was for one person only (so
