Madonna, Instyle, AND BJØRN MELHUS all in one?!? No reason to stay in your hovel this weekend. There are happenings all over NYC. I will definitely be at PS1 on Saturday. Read on for more information (thanks to the Velvet list). Friday, July 27 HAROLD PINTER Interviewed, 5.30pm Walter Reade Theatre, Lincoln Center Info: Elaine McMahon, 875 5391 *The man of many pauses speaks with New York Times guy. Should be… challenging, if not sexy. Why bother? This English playwright wrote The Birthday Party (we think), and besides, The Lincoln Center is an easy blag. MADONNA Madison Square Garden *Now, who can resist a 42-year-old "Virgin"? We have two record company-area (that’s near the stage, not puckering-up beneath Ms. M’s ass) tickets for tonight. Material Girl: They’re a fat $250 each (that’s face value). No one gets a freebie with Madge. Borderline: The first person to guess which hackneyed trend Lady M will be touting as the "hot new craze" in her next video- and has 500 bucks to spare- can have her...errr, them. Saturday, July 28 Put on yer Banana Republic chinos and tee—it’s the HAMPTONS SPECIAL! SUPER SATURDAY/INSTYLE MAGAZINE Designer Garage Sale The Ark Project, Water Mill, The Hamptons, 3pm INFO: Keesha, 646 658 8300 *If there’s ever been a reason to leave Manhattan, it’s Long Island Garage sales: somewhere amid the porcelain milkmaids and the Jordache handbags, there’s an old Donna Karan. In fact, it’s her sale! Expect bargain mirrors, scales, and those long tiny spoons coke heads use. ART FOR LIFE Schmoozy Rap Get-together, 6-10pm Russell Simmon’s house, East Hampton, address by phone. INFO: Holly Taylor, 843-9220 *Martha Stewart (or an imperceptibly realistic Paper-mache facsimile) and Russell "the Oreo" Simmons co-host. Martha’s ingenuity strikes again as she instructs guests how to recycle "used poor kids" into charming lawn ornaments the whole family can enjoy! Admire the irrepressible generosity of the rich as disadvantaged kids from Harlem are paraded in front of them—and sent home with a shiny dollar. Jay-Z and Queen Latifah join the polo set at this feel-good event of the season. BJØRN MELHUS and MIKE JARMON CD Release Party, 8pm International Studio, 323 West 39th, 7th floor (212) 643-9163 (studio) (310) 497-8444 (cell phone) *If you’re staying in town, you’re stuck with the Eurotrash, so learn to enjoy it and come celebrate a CD! We don’t even know its name but it probably rhymes with our favorite cheese and sports an umlaut. Whatever…the space is nice. Go straight down from PS1. Door opens every 15 min. until 9.30pm. Sunday, July 29 CHICKS COOK. Sunday Night Dinner 353 Broadway [the old Luvvyplex], 8pm Reservations 917 3733734 (say you’ve been before) *Digestible Art: Contrary to popular belief, there are New York girls who’s cooking doesn’t involve a take-out menu. Despite the highly indigestible art at most galleries, you’ll be able to taste the creativity in the air: a six-course meal that includes gustatory delights from caviar and cheese to pyrotechnic bananas as well as indigestion-worthy side dishes such as smutty apron fashion shows, poetic diatribes about meat and veganism, and the lighting-shooting lobster. If you’re familiar with the Josh Harris-y antics that are Luvvyplex lore, you’ll not be surprised that that the theme is Alice in Wonderland: $20 w/out costume and id="root"5 with a Chesire-cat-stole...
