So now that Anthony Weiner has cast off the shackles of public office, and the tug-of-war for control of his old district has begun, what will the former Congressman do next? He may not be speaking at Brooklyn Technical High School graduation tonight, but he has already gotten a couple of tantalizing job offers: Entourage creator Doug Ellin has asked Weiner to cameo as himself on the final season of the HBO show. And Hustler impresario Larry Flynt very sincerely offered Weiner a high-paid position in the Internet group of Flynt Management Group. Just like he did with Carl Paladino!

You'll recall (because we wouldn't let you forget) that last December the Smokin' Aces star abruptly quit the Broadway production of Speed-the-Plow, claiming that excessive seafood consumption—not excessive partying—had left him exhausted with "dangerously high" mercury levels.
