Damn it, Janet, Rocky is no longer the champ. These days, a new sing-a-long sensation is slaying the nation – it’s Buffy! At the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Sing-A-Long, kazoos, bubbles, streamer explosions and Fabio all add up to an unforgettable evening of homage to the show’s legendary musical episode, “Once More with Feeling.”

When I arrived at the West Village’s IFC Center at 11:20 p.m. (45 full minutes before the screening), about 25 hardcore Whedon enthusiasts were already queued up. Twenty short minutes later, Sing-A-Long Xander, a.k.a. Joshua Ziesel, was passing out (free!) blood-red gift bags with all the tools necessary to enjoy the night—kazoos for the dramatic climax, bunny pencil erasers in honor of Anya’s irrational fear, monster finger puppets, and, of course, vampire teeth.

Ewan McGregor stepped out of his limousine onto the red carpet for his new movie, Alex Rider: Stormbreaker. I caught my breath as our eyes locked. He walked up to me and said hello, that he would only be in New York a bit, and asked if I would like to grab a drink or three with him…Actually, that was more how it happened in my imagination. Sadly, the truth is Ewan walked right past me without even a glance, but a girl’s got a right to pretend. He was too short for me anyway.

Since nothing turns me on more than men sticking leeches to their eyeballs and stapling their own butt cheeks together, I thought missing the Jackass Number 2 party would be pure blasphemy. Apparently not. What was tragic was dancing at Crobar amid a bunch of dolled up girls that looked more like clowns than porcelain figurines. Making matters worse, there was a plasma screen that had a doll engulfed in flames. Can you say “Creep me out” 10 times fast?

Imagine you’re in Cleveland, and you can’t even come. What could be worse? According to Billy Kent’s The Oh in Ohio, 30 million American women suffer from sexual dysfunction. Accounting for statistical probability, Kent figure at least one of these women must live in Middle America. I entered **snicker, snicker** the film hoping to get a chuckle from seeing Parker Posey in Cleveland; 88 quivering minutes later, I emerged calling Danny DeVito a sex bomb. If seeing a film is a journey, this movie was an intergalactic orbit to Mars.

A group of New York City artists and socialites have put together Gala - a semi-monthly event combining an art show, a concert, and a party. Gala features upcoming talent to support New York City’s underdog artists. This particular show featured six artists and one screening. The six artists consisted of Felix Olivieri, Ryan Myers, Joshua Barash, Landen Brasseur, Kim Ibricevic, and Keila Diana Sone. All doused with talent…some more than others, and all of completely different mediums. From etching, sketching and skate board design, to artistic interpretation of pornography…this show will leave you wondering if these kids have made this their living or just their hobby…or maybe just an excuse to throw a party. Either way, between the $4 Bud Lights and the company of good-looking people you’ll find at Snitch EVERY Saturday night, I was managing to have a good time.
