Neal Medlyn is billing himself as the Paris Hilton of Performance Art. Well, I know Nicole Richie would simply agree! Neal Medlyn is a sick, twisted individual and funny performance artist. I am a witness and I willingly testify to

Neal Medlyn’s genius! He will be performing this Saturday January 17 at

Collective: Unconscious 145 Ludlow St. (between Stanton & Rivington) at 8PM. $7

Valentine’s Day is less than a month away. Forget chocolates, and roses are so suburban!

I recommend the fabulous Agent Provocateur store in SoHo (133 Mercer St). Their lingerie is lacy, racy and just plain HOT! Ladies, you may want to try on a couple of outfits for fun, and then subtly slip your measurements into your honey’s pocket. (Hopefully he’ll get the hint). Guys, if you’re too shy to go in person, you can shop online.

“My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.” The sexy song by Kelis comes to mind when my friend Chris tells me that Bellydancing is happening every Thursday at Lava Gina (116 Ave C between 7th & 8th streets). Don’t worry about the winter chill; all that shaking is sure to stir up some heat! So, “Shake a Tail Feather” and make you way over to Lava Gina to get a thrill. It starts at 10 PM, and there’s NO cover!

Lava Gina is the sexiest and coziest lounge in the very east of East Village. I have hosted a few parties there and it’s always a pleasure!

What happens when you finally have plans for a dinner date with the hottie you met over the holidays, but you don’t want to miss the “O.C.”?

What do you do when you’ve ditched your old VCR, but you don’t have TIVO yet?

Check out this site, televisionwithoutpity.com. They give recaps of some of your favorite dramas and reality shows.

Rumor has it that NBC has finally found a replacement for their obnoxious hit show “Friends”. There’s a deal in the works with the website, friendster.com. The Friendster show will be a reality show where six friends are connected to 176,482 people. I also hear that Kevin Bacon was considered to star in the new reality show but NBC could not afford his seven-figures which doesn’t refer to his salary but to his many connections! 🙂

Looking for cheap thrills on Hump Day?! Then take the L train to Bedford and enjoy good food and music. First, I suggest grabbing a bite to eat at Bean, 167 Bedford Ave at N. 8th.

This cute little spot that is just off Bedford Avenue

on North 8th Street is just the place to start your night.

Then for music, head around the corner to Laila Lounge, 113 N 7th St (bet Berry & Wythe). My good friend, Don McCloskey, will entertain you with his cuddly antics and folky funk acoustic sounds. It’s last minute but it’s free and fun on a Wednesday, January 7!

One of the best party bands in New York City, The Niagaras will be playing at the Cutting Room this Saturday, January 10. A bit of trivia for you–Chris Noth (AKA Mr. Big) on “Sex on the City” is one of the owners of the Cutting Room. The Cutting Room is located in Flatiron area at 19 West 24th Street between 5th & 6th Avenues.

Today, Katie Brown from A&E’s “All Year Round with Katie Brown” appeared on “Regis and Kelly” and demonstrated how to make a bed. The funny thing she said is that she likes something heavy on top of her in bed. I’m pretty sure she was referring to a duvet cover!
