(1995) will be playing tonight at 8 pm at the Clearview Chelsea (260 W. 23rd Street between 7th and 8th Ave.) in its unedited NC-17 "director's cut" version. An "interactive" screening, drag diva Cashetta will offer her running commentary during the film and there will be special appearances by Lin Tucci and the girls of Scores, according to the promotional website for the newly released V.I.P. Edition DVD set.

Gina Gershon is going to be on network TV this fall, too. She plays the wild and sexy titular "Hot Mom" with a conservative daughter (imagine that!), and somehow, Nick Lachey will be in the show as well.

Commissioner Raymond Kelly must be a forward thinking guy, or at least a guy with a forward thinking staff, as the NYPD embarks on a 60 day trial using the Segway Human Transporter. The NY Post reports that 10 officers were put on Segways last week to deal with areas of heavy pedestrian traffic, like Midtown and Coney Island; the USPS and Atlanta police have also been testing out Segways. Gothamist thinks that police officers on Segways will be helpful only as a commanding conceptual presence of authori-tay and technology, because while it elevates them to be taller than others in the crowd, Segways are slower (top speed - 12 mph) than bikes or motorcycles and the police look kinda funny on them. As Officer Chintua Alozie tells the Post, ""You park it and go after the criminal. It has a bicycle lock if necessary." Hmm, can't wait for it to be used in an episode of Law & Order!

The Daily News profiles actual Segway owners in New York City. As for using it in the city, the News reports:

Page Six says about Gina Gershon at an Oscar party: "[She] wore a painted-on, floor-length gown. 'I was going to wear a shorter dress, but my knees are banged up,' she confided. Gershon had taken a test-drive on the new gyroscopic Segway invention and managed to fall off."
