| Even from Behind Bars, Bernie Kerik Passes Along His Infection BY GRAHAM RAYMAN Rose Gill Hearn has been the city's top municipal corruption investigator for more than a decade. As commissioner of the Department of Investigation since 2002, the former federal prosecutor, who favors pearls and conservative suits, has caught corrupt contractors, bent tax collectors, bribe-taking plumbing inspectors, an extortionist city councilman, and a housing commissioner using city funds as a personal piggy bank. She has earned a reputation as an antidote to the poisons that seep into City Hall. But not even Hearn is immune to the forces of entropy that roil this town. The Voice has obtained documents that are part of an ongoing lawsuit that suggest that Hearn, early in her days in ... more >> | | | | The Men Get Out of the Gutter BY ERIC SUNDERMANN Five men walk into a Brooklyn bar. Some have beards. Some wear plaid. Some sport tattered leather jackets adorned with one-inch band buttons. Some have thick rimmed glasses. You know the type. One of the bearded men wearing plaid asks his bearded companion in leather (or maybe it's the other way around?) if he's seen the lineup for this year's Bonnaroo, the four-day music festival held in June i... more >> | | | | | Analyze This at The Marrow BY ROBERT SIETSEMA Harold Dieterle, champion of Top Chef's first season, is the rare veteran of the program who's fulfilled the promise of his victory—not as pop-up impresario, personal-appearance warhorse, or talk-show sidekick, but as a restaurant-empire builder. Even before Gabe Stulman dreamed up Little Wisco, Dieterle realized the neighborhood potential of the West Village for the sort of chain he wanted... more >> | | | | | Jack the Giant Slayer Is Fee-Fi-Fo-Fun BY SCOTT FOUNDAS To paraphrase Stephen Sondheim, there are big, tall, terrible, fleshy, bulbous-headed giants in the sky in Jack the Giant Slayer. And what would a big-budget, mildly revisionist, 3-D spin on "Jack and the Beanstalk" be if those fearsome beasties didn't somehow make it down to sea level, where a storybook British kingdom looms—given said giants' appetite for human flesh—like a medieva... more >> | | | | | Strippers, Topless Transsexuals, And Club Kids: Where To Find Them BY MICHAEL MUSTO Whoever took the life out of the nightlife should have bashed it a little harder because it's still out there and breathing, even if it's got a bit of a hack cough. A parade of gussied-up wackos, a hint of attention-craving misbehavior, and a thumping beat to vamp to is all we need—and they're all out there in some measure or another. And they're all legal, authorities! Don't shut anything... more >> | | | | | 'Prussian Blue': It's Not All About You BY CHRISTIAN VIVEROS-FAUNé The recent New Museum exhibition "NYC 1993: Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star" has launched a wave of multi-culti, identity-politics nostalgia that deserves a bracing antidote. That antidote exists, thank God, in a fantastic uptown painting exhibition at the Americas Society. If the first show carbon-dates our 20-year enactment of Freud's "narcissism of small differences" (from AIDS-era Ben... more >> | | | | Runnin' Scared A year removed from the murder of 17-year-old Travon Martin, hundreds of supporters took to Union Square yesterday, carrying candles and wearing hoodies, to stand in solidarity alongside Martin's...

(2) Audrey always seemed like more of a celery sticks and champagne kind of gal, not a chocolate-smeared oinkette. ... Sound of the City We could have stopped caring years ago.
