Natasha Lyonne – remember her? – has resurfaced, and not at the morgue! In fact, the young hellion seems to be doing quite well for herself – at least that’s the portrait painted by this convivial Times profile, in which reporter Robert Simonson smokes Marlboro Lights with her on the roof of Theater Row, where she’s to appear in the new Mike Leigh play Two Thousand Years. Though off the horse, the actress isn’t all......

Surprisingly, TWU Local 100 president Roger Toussaint gets to keep his job. Speaking of getting lucky, remember when Natasha Lyonne got arrested for threatening to sexually abuse a neighbor's dog? She finally showed up for sentencing, and because she had already completed a rehab program and paid a $2000 fine, the judge dismissed the charges. Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: a jumper down in Brooklyn, a " Male Down Elevator Shaft" on 77th Street,......

Poor Natasha Lyonne. After she and her lawyer failed to appear in court for the fourth time yesterday a Manhattan Criminal Court Judge signed an arrest warrant for the former indie-actress. Just sad. Lyonne was due to appear in court concerning the continuing fallout from her famously disastrous stay in a Gramercy Park apartment owned by Michael Rapaport. Not only did she destroy the apartment ("It looked like a grenade had gone off") but......

Natasha Lyonne has become more famous for being a mess than being an actress, what with very public displays of seeming crazy and a dispute with her landlord, Michael Rapaport. But is it too embarrassing when you don't show up for a court appearance on Monday - for threatening to "sexually molest" a neighbor's dog - yet you're seen at Filene's/DSW on Sunday? Someone tipped Gawker about a bedraggled looking Lyonne ("She was wearing dark,......

Wow. If Natasha Lyonne were to write a book, it would have to include how to become a B-list starlet (maybe B+-list in the indie world) and a regular in the gossip pages (easy when you date Eddie Furlong and get into fights with others), rent an apartment from Michael Rapaport, trash it, get thrown in jail, and have your landlord write an article about you in Jane magazine. The Daily News has details on......

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......
