Artie Lange tried unsuccessfully to get four Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders to disrobe on the Howard Stern show. A lot of foodies showed up at the preview of Alain Ducasse’s wine-themed restaurant, Adour, in the St. Regis. Bruce Springsteen waited a half hour for a lunch table at the Turning Point in Long Branch.

Tracey Edmonds broke up with Eddie Murphy because, she said, he was “bossy,” “physically demanding,” and wanted to bring his mom on their honeymoon.
