[Update Below] Last night the new Disney cruise ship "Fantasy" made its New York City debut, so of course lots of Disney stars showed up. Bloomberg was there, naturally, Jerry Seinfeld did standup ("Oh my god, I'm on a boat. Finally, I get to see what the end of my career will be like.") and Mariah Carey played fairy godmother (why not?). But the treat of the night was surprise host Neil Patrick Harris, who showed up to sing some snarky songs. And not just an obvious "Under the Sea" spoof ("At The Buffet") but also a Mary Poppins-inspired "Super Splashy Synergistic Glitzy Celebration" aimed directly at Disney.

Earlier this week, Whole Foods yanked GT Synergy Kombucha from its shelves, and the Federal Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau [TTB] has launched an investigation into the nascent yet booming kombucha industry. Pretty soon you may need to show ID to buy your six pack of Guava Goddess!
