The entertainment industry is unique and thrilling

David Chase, the mastermind behind “The Sopranos,” initially underestimated the show’s potential, questioning who would be interested in a series about his own mother. However, with the introduction of the tough guy Tony Soprano, the iconic character was brought to life. This Saturday, HBO will air a two-part special titled “Wise Guy: David Chase and ‘The Sopranos,’” delving into the behind-the-scenes of the show with plenty of action-packed scenes. It’s a must-watch for fans. And while you’re at it, why not whip up some delicious red sauce to enjoy during the show? Kelsey Grammer, known for his role in “Cheers” and “Frasier,” recently made an appearance as a guest bartender on Long Island’s North Fork to promote his beer brand, Faith American Brewing Co. The name of the beer might be a mouthful, but it’s worth a try if you’re in the mood for a cold one. In another unexpected turn of events, rumors are circulating about the eccentric artist Salvador Dalí bringing his pet ocelot to the St. Regis King Cole Bar. The ocelot even drank less than Dalí, adding to the allure of the artist’s unconventional lifestyle. Meanwhile, Bill Maher has been hosting podcast sessions from his basement, featuring esteemed guests like Martin Short and Richard Dreyfuss. With a glass of Scotch in hand and perhaps a little something extra, the guests, including Quentin Tarantino, share anecdotes and insights. In a humorous moment, Tarantino had to excuse himself to use the restroom, shedding light on the human side of these Hollywood personalities. After his enlightening break, he joyfully returned to indulge in a delicious steak, proving that the entertainment industry is full of unexpected surprises and memorable experiences. TO take holiday time off I first informed our NYP’s warm, fuzzy editors. Deeply involved in our paper, one’s schlepping through Greece, the other’s swanning out West. Me, I’m back. Them? The paper’s either creating a Missing Person flyer or Thursday they’ll be on a milk carton. Also, while internationally known is how I’m never, ever, wrong, I need to state here that in my slightly limited, skewed, marred opinion, only his dead bear would ever vote for Robert Kennedy. FOOT doctor Rock Positano. Grand Central. Westchester-bound train. A nice gent took a nice pretzel out of a nice pocket. Homeless gent comes over, says, “I’m hungry. Nothing to eat.” The gentleman offered his prized pretzel. The homeless man says: “No, I can’t eat this pretzel because that good Samaritan touched it with his hand.” Sinless, foodless, pious. TODAY’S Broadway Theatre stage hit reincarnates F. Scott Fitzgerald’s famous “The Great Gatsby.” Upgraded seats even for floppolas cost maybe $150. During intermission this guy buys two drinks. For himself and lady. Two drinks.
