We were flipping through the NY Post this morning, and of course the headline "MCG FINDS HIS INNER KERMIT" jumped out at us. What? Is he going to be on Sesame Street? No, it's better: Apparently former governor James McGreevey "sobbed in therapy while clutching a Kermit the Frog stuffed animal." And what kind of therapy? To battle his addiction to be loved by the public and to "have a public." Well, writing a book and going on tour is certainly a way to feed the addiction! McGreevey went to the same Arizona clinic that Kate Moss and Whitney Houston went to for their drug issues, and that Eric Benet - Halle Berry's cheating ex - went there for his sex addiction.

This week the box office juggernaut that is the new , there's still tons of repertory to take in instead this weekend.

JC: ALL RIGHT! I just took extra Vitamin C - I'm waiting for some food delivery.

You know it's the Oscars when P. Diddy busts out the velvet suit! Gothamist loves the Oscars, and we're going to attempt to do a little liveblogging. We might need to order a vat of caffeine and an EMT team at the ready; not because Chris Rock will be boring, but because we think that Gil Cates might kill us with his newfangled ideas and because we're meh about this year's nominees in the big categories. Anyway, onto the show.

The NY Times' A.O. Scott wrote about how Harold & Kumar "revitalizes" slacker comedy while also "persuasively, and intelligently, [engaging] the social realities of contemporary multicultural America." Okay. Rotten Tomatoes says it's pretty fresh and Roger Ebert gives it three stars. And Karen at Gothamist Arts & Events saw the film and gives her thoughts (it's fun).

This could mean millions would be paid out to agencies' models, and one concerned modeling agency head tells the DN, "It could break all of us totally and it would mean the end of modeling in New York." Maybe then modeling could turn into a cable channel, the America's Top Model channel. While the Daily News treats this as bombshell news, it doesn't seem that surprising. Aren't there always reports of models being flown to foreign countries to be used by various wealthy businessmen or sultans as playthings?

CZJ talking about "eating your way to oblivion?" (See it here.) Gothamist isn't going near that one. We will, however, bring up "to zeta-jones," the memorable catch all (literally) created by Elizabeth Spiers during her Gawker reign.

Britney Spears is making good on her mission to kiss every single at least semi-famous woman when the cameras on her from now till doomsday. There was Halle Berry on Saturday Night Live last week, and now there's Madonna (again!). In the video for Britney's "Me Against the Music," she goes head to head with Madge. Britney says, "The video is more sensual than I’m used to and I’m touching on subjects I would not normally touch on." What, pap smears?

Gothamist thinks the costume designer for Catwoman got the wrong directions. This Catwoman get-up is so in-your-face it's not sexy. Think cat suit. And sure, Halle Berry looked great in a bikini in Die Another Day, but Catwoman is not some undercover government operative trying to seduce someone on Her Majesty's Service. Here, this outfit is clearly trying too hard. And also, Catwoman is catlike, not attacked by cats. Gothamist is not understanding.

Adrien Brody, Oscar-winning boy from Queens made good, got into a car accident Saturday at Orchard Street and Delancey. According to the Post, he tried to switch lanes quickly, crashing his rented Chevy Tahoe into a Nissan Altima. The other car's owner, Heidi Hong, said that Brody was annoyed and asked her, "Didn't you see me? Why didn't you make room for me?" Brody then tried to get Hong to exchange information, but Hong called 911 and the police came to the scene.

Steve Martin's novella, Shopgirl, will start filming in mid-October, with Martin playing Ray, Claire Danes as glove salesgirl Mirabelle, and Jason Schwartzman as her feckless but like-aged suitor, Jeremy. Originally Jimmy Fallon was mentioned as a possible candidate for the role of Jeremy, but may have had to drop out, due to his Saturday Night Live commitments as well as filming Taxi with Queen Latifah and Gisele Bundchen here in NY. In this case, Gothamist is pleased with the casting Schwartzman, because it means that Max Fischer meets Angela Chase. [Via Variety]

You have to hand it to Sharon Stone. She might be crazy, she might be annoying, she might make really stupid movie decisions, she might be emasculating, but she is a dame through and through. Like wearing a dress to throw out the first pitch for a Dodgers game. She knows how to work the press, and for that, we applaud her. When Gothamist worked on a press junket with her, where various press outlets interview stars, averaging at least 50 five minute interviews a day, she came with a different outfit for every single interview, so she could give the interviews a more personalized touch.

but Gothamist suspects Shirley is either blind or prone to hyperbole - Lenny Kravitz is hot.

Adrien Brody will be hosting Saturday Night Live on May 10th. Gothamist guesses that there were be some bit about him kissing...he'll kiss Maya Rudolph, Amy Poehler, Rachel Dratch, Tina Fey, then the "funny" comes in when he kisses the SNL dudes, like Jimmy Fallon, Horatio Sanz, and Chris Kattan, maybe even Lorne. Gothamist won't bother to find any of the latest slash fiction about Adrien Brody and [insert actor here] but we will develop a drinking game.
