Remember that whole Hep-A scare at West Village bar Socialista? Reports came in this week that the whole thing may have been a joke -- but who's laughing? Probably not the owners of Socialista. Word is that Ashton Kutcher has a new show coming out called Pop Fiction, which has thus far been kept under wraps. Not straying far from his Punk'd roots, the series (which will air on the E! network) is a prank......

We know that Giants co-owner and movie producer Steve Tisch has been trying to ramp up the star power for the Giants sidelines. After Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore and Cameron Diaz were seen at a game last fall, Tisch told the NY Times, he brings "the spices, the taste, the flavor" to the Giants (if the Giants experience were a soup; the other co-owners, the Maras, would bring the meat and potatoes). This past......

A special panel of magazine editors have decided the top 40 magazine covers of the past four years, and the selections are a mix of shock and artistry. Here's the top ten:1. Rolling Stone – Jan. 22, 1981 – John Lennon and Yoko Ono laying in bed 2. Vanity Fair – Aug. 1991 – Nude pregnant Demi Moore 3. Esquire – April 1968 – “The Passion of Muhammad Ali”: Ali with arrows in his body......

The groans you hear are from newsstand owners and the super stylish, trying to carry the new fall fashion magazines. Plus, it's the only time of the year Vogue wants to be fat. The Daily News has a rundown of them, and depending on how you swing, we recommend you check out or avoid Vogue for Sarah Jessica Parker's gushing, Harper's Bazaar for Demi Moore's confirmation that she likes to snuggle up with Ashton naked......

The BBC reports that Warburtons graciously asked 2,000 filmgoers what the cheesiest movie lines were, and their answers are this: 1. "I'm the king of the world!" - Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio) in Titanic 2. "Nobody puts Baby in the corner" - Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze) in Dirty Dancing 3. "Is it still raining? I hadn't noticed." - Carrie (Andie MacDowell) while standing in a downpour in Four Weddings in a Funeral 4. "Ditto" -......

HarperCollins has paid Jack Welch, former GE CEO, $4 million to write a how-to business manual. Welch's fiancee, Suzy Wetlaufer, former editor of The Harvard Business Review, who looks like Tina Fey's older sister, will help him write it. HarperCollins told the Times, "Young people grow up today wanting to be a policeman, a fireman, a C.E.O. Jack can teach to all of that." Here are some things both Jack AND Suzy can teach young......

All the talk about Charlie's Angels Full Throttle being about female empowerment is a joke, because it's just about a bunch of girls being silly and their T&A. Of course Gothamist knew that, but the evidence is too overwhelming not to comment on. For starters, a painful-to-read interview by Sean Smith of Newsweek, with the Angels, Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, and Lucy Liu. Here's a sample: BARRYMORE: It is gold. DIAZ and LIU: [Loudly, imitating......

Demi Moore has carved out a niche with the 20-something men. Not only is she, uh, "dating" Ashton Kutcher, 22 year old designer Zac Posen loves her. (Luckily for Posen, he is gay, so he doesn't have to be Demi's lapdog...he just needs to give her free clothes.) In Vogue, where she is photographed with Posen (left), he says ''She's my idol, she's so sensual and strong. I loved that she took on all of......

Whoa, Meghan O'Rourke, an editor at Slate, gave a really devastating review of Liz Phair's new album, Liz Phair, in the New York Times this past weekend. O'Rourke calls Phair's album an "embarrassing form of career suicide." But when Gothamist read further, the review was more a lament about the Liz Phair of Exile from Guyville, tough and take no prisoners, not tarted up like Britney and using Avril Lavigne's songwriters: "You half expect the......

Demi Moore is being accused of sexual harrassment by a man who worked on her estate in Idaho. The Smoking Gun has more on the man, who they think is crazy for complaining Moore groped him. Gothamist tends to agree. She's very hot. The Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle site, which Demi Moore will star in this summer.......

NY Post follows up the birth of Carys Zeta Douglas with wondering about the insane names that celebrities give their children. They offer up: Jett Travolta (John Travolta and Kelly Preston), Speck Wildhorse (John Mellencamp), Diezel and Denim (Toni Braxton), Casper (Claudia Schiffer), Romeo and Brooklyn (David and Victoria Beckham), Hopper (Sean Penn), Salome (Alex Kingston), Sailor (Christie Brinkley), Zephyr and Lyric (Robby Benson), Aurelius (Elle MacPherson), Rumer, Scout and Tallulah Belle (Demi Moore and......

Madonna is going on be on Will & Grace, and Hilton and I discussed how Will & Grace pretty much sucks, except for Megan Mullally, aka Karen, and Sean Hayes, aka Jack. Gay joke, straight joke, sex joke, Grace-ugly-clothes joke, lather, rinse, repeat. And we hate it when they get too emotional - keep the comedy, folks, light, fizzy, silly, bawdy - no marriage or baby crap. Okay, sometimes Jack's kid is funny, but not......
