...Versace in mid-life, it turns out, was a tempered bon vivant, a high-glitz homebody. After occasional major bashes, like the New Year's Eve soirees he threw for the past two years in South Beach (where guests included everyone from Calvin Klein to Rosie O'Donnell), he might decamp to a gay club called the Warsaw Ballroom with a small group of friends to watch male dancers perform. But he was known as a quiet purveyor of the scene, a man who avoided drugs and heavy drinking. "I once proposed that we go out," recalls his friend Janie...
...fully appreciate "Les Mis," one must be fairly familiar with the plot, which revolves around Jean Valjean (Gregory Calvin Stone), convict number 24601 in 19th-century France.

...sense of humor is always on the prowl, even in person, but he is an equal-opportunity lambaster. He moves from a hilarious sendup of an anonymous schmooze at the New Yorker Christmas party ("David daaahling you must meet Calvin!") to a gleefully cruel assault on an innocent Au Bon Pain patron. Nor does he spare himself...
