December is here, and the responsible citizens behind National Drunk and Drugged Driving (3D) Prevention Month have their work cut out for them, because this month is also National Egg Nog Month. On Monday night the fabulous folks at Mount Gay Rum (no comments, please) will be kicking off the month-long nogathon with an eggsellent event at the swank World Bar, former home of the world’s most expensive cocktail, located in the Trump World Tower....

The holiday-time movie releases are starting to pile up with their usual feverish frequency. Some have Christmas themes, like the widely reviled Vince Vaughn vehicle Fred Claus that’s already roadkill on the lost highway of cinema history; others, like Ridley Scott’s American Gangster, are timed to make an impression as close to Academy Award-voting season as possible. Here are some of the biggest gorillas set to dominate New York’s screens in the next six...

It was an enraged fellow spin class member that knocked him and his exercise bike into a wall at the Equinox Gym on East 86th St. in August, but now it's Stuart Sugarman who is very angry!

Plenty of people go through painful break-ups, but it takes a special talent to turn the experience into a career. Brooklyn-bred Anita Liberty, whose boyfriend Mitchell left her for another woman shortly after he and Anita moved in together, has that talent: rather than sitting around moping, she wrote a book, called "How to Heal the Hurt by Hating," filled with poems, diary entries, and diatribes against Mitchell and the new girlfriend, and developed a live show, short film, and TV projects based on it and her bitter self in general. The dumped everywhere roared their approval, and now she’s back, but what’s this? Success, happiness, and a new man? In "How to Stay Bitter Through the Happiest Times of Your Life," which opens today at HERE and just came out in book form, she describes in her characteristically caustic yet hilarious way how she has tried not to lose touch with the anger that was her raison d’être. We asked her some questions about the show, her art, and her life in New York.

After last week's huge box office take for , you know that we're in it: the bang-up summer blockbuster season. However, even with all of this energy of over the top new releases in the air there's still some amazing old movies screening this weekend too. So you better get a watchin'.

Oh, he’s amazing. [laughs] But my thought was that what works so well about the first two is the mundane-ness of it all. So my notion was that Hell exists simultaneously, and in the same place as our consensus reality. But it’s like a film shutter — it’s the darkness between the 24 frames. When we’re blinking on, they’re off — so we blink alternately with this other reality, which is Hell.

In the Post's latest "My Favorite Place," two of Gothamist's favorite actors, Frances McDormand and Steve Buscemi, give their picks. McDormand mentions East Village cafe Podunk, which Gothamist visited and enjoyed very much. We'd also like to note that McDormand likes to conduct many interviews at the Fairway Cafe, above the supermarket. Buscemi's favorite place is Prospect Park, that jewel of a park in Brooklyn. We also know that Steve likes the Haagen-Dazs on Seventh Avenue in the Slope; in a very Fargo moment, a friend wondered who that freaky looking guy who looked all messed up was before realizing it was Steve Buscemi, after being attacked when he tried to intervene in one of Vince Vaughn's bar brawls.

Even though its release is months away, Gothamist is excited for Will Ferrell's next movie, Anchorman. Watch the "trailer" (really early clips from Dreamworks) and see Ferrell play a pompous, chauvinistic anchorman from the 70s. He battles with a lady reporter played by Christina Applegate, and has a crack Action News team that includes Steve Carrell and Paul Rudd. The rest of the cast is pretty star-studded - Vince Vaughn, Fred Willard, Chuck D., Tim Robbins. Can't wait until July 9, 2004. In the mean time, our favorite favorite favorite 70s new anchorman, Ted Baxter, will have to do.

After being caught in development hell for three years, it looks like Dave Eggers' autobiography, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, is on its way to the big screen. Universal Pictures is picking up rights to the book from New Line, and Kimberly Peirce (Boys Don't Cry) will be developing the project. Interestingly, Nick Hornby and D.V. DeVincentis (screenwriter of Grosse Pointe Blank, High Fidelity) adapted the book.
