Last month we all got to see Lindsay Lohan play dress up for NY Mag as she posed as Marilyn Monroe. Michael Musto wasn't about to let her steal the show though, he's now topped the troubled tart by posing as Lindsay posing as Marilyn. He tells his loyal readers how he prepared for his own "Last Sitting":The slinky Lindsay said she did 250 crunches the night before her shoot. Well, I did 250 Nestlé......

MOVIES: A lavishly restored print of Chilean director Alejandro Jodorowsky’s visionary film The Holy Mountain has been making the rounds this year; it’s back again this weekend at IFC Center for a pair of midnight screenings. First released in 1973, The Holy Mountain has grown into a cult classic for its surreal, psychedelic imagery and a serpentine, metaphysical storyline, which takes as inspiration, among other things, "The Ascent of Mt. Carmel" by St. John of......

READINGS: Papermag points out an interesting reading tonight for "Queens of the Kingdom: The Ultimate Gay and Lesbian Guide to the Disney Theme Parks."

Tonight’s reading is hosted by Michael Musto and......

ART: Yesterday we mentioned a few friends who spend their time making hamster nests, art and apparently making people very upset by merely existing. Anyway, one of them, Ryan McGinley, had an opening last night for his new show Irregular Regulars. His photographs of Morrissey were taken at shows from the past two years, and seem to depict Moz as God. Tuesday through Saturday, 10am to 6pm // Team Gallery [83 Grand St] READING: Village......

THEATER: Dance-theatre maverick Pina Bausch returns to the Brooklyn Academy of Music with Nefés, which is described as an ode to Istanbul, 'the city of water'. Originally conceived in 2002, Nefés (Turkish for "breath") “quickly became a life-affirming response to Istanbul's bouts with political upheaval. But rather than echoing the violence, Bausch invests her signature humor and emotional pathos with an acute sense of calm. Set to an eclectic score featuring Turkish songs, tangos from......

Gothamist loves that “before they were famous” kind of celebrity trivia. The jobs that pre-celebrities held down, the apartments they lived in, that meager road they traveled on their way to the paparazzi-and-Bungalow 8-filled highway. We love knowing that maybe some of the performers we watch in the back of a bar or in a theater above a sushi restaurant might someday be propelled to that level of success and we are lucky to have......

John Hodgman is everywhere! Not that we are complaining of course, but Gothamist has already seen his interview from the Daily Show repeated, he was at Mo Pitkins earlier this week, and tonight he will be a guest at How to Kick People. Surely there will be talk of hobos, but there will also be other guests, including Onion editor Carol Kolb, comedian Susie Felber and Andy Friedman & The Other Failures. If you aren’t......

After getting yourselves a coffee or some brunch this morning, which we currently need...desperately, you may ponder what to do with the rest of your Saturday.

For those of you who like awesome music, for free, we suggest heading over to Sound Fix in Brooklyn. They'll be......

Today marks the first year New York City's smoking ban has been in effect, and the Post reports that health inspectors swing by bars past midnight to make sure ban-flouting bars get nabbed. Famous smoker Fran Leibovitz scoffs, "[The ban is] riddled with hypocrisy...If you're really concerned about air quality and you're living in New York City, then you're an idiot." Yeah, Gothamist gets the idea, but then we're happy to be idiots for being......

According to The Sun, Justin Timberlake was given a hard time by some shock jocks. He was asked, among other things: who was better in bed, Britney or Christina (or is that X-tina, 'cause she's dirrrty!); did he fool around with Kylie; and did he have a fling with anyone from *NSync. The last one drove Justin over the edge, as he freaked, "Any fan of mine does not want to know a dumbass question......

The news about the new film "Party Monster," which premiered at Sundance is especially big in NY, because it caused the downfall of a certain kind of club lifestyle. This predated the gansta rap bling-bling lifestyle. The Post gives a primer on the characters in the affair. Michael Musto's column from a year ago talks about it. And Michael Alig himself writes about prison. [J, 12pm]: This case was always of special interest to me......
