Katie Couric is entirely freaked out by Al Pacino's fame. His "iconic image" had crazed fans running up to the two during their interview session in the West Village (Are we that surprised?!).

We agree Katie--the image of Al Pacino snorting that MASSIVE line of coke or screaming "Say hello to my little friend!" is, INDEED, iconic. Al will always be known as the TRUE American gangster--so much so, that every teen-aged boy in America has a poster of "Scarface" hanging on his bedroom wall (much to the displeasure of his mother).

Katie, whom has recently interviewed Al for an episode of "60 Minutes," pressed the actor on his role in "You Don't Know Jack," a film which Katie will add to his list of classics.

Blackbook's nightlife blogger Steve Lewis offered this unflattering description of promoters in New York Magazine's latest cover story titled "Rachel Uchitel Is Not a Madam". Or, given Lewis's words, is she?

"Lewis will often get texts that say, 'I'll be rolling deep with about a dozen hookers.'"

What other light does this piece shed on the dark underbelly of New York's nightlife? Says "Kim", a former top-tier cocktail waitress (a.k.a. a "bottle girl"), who made "between $1,000 and $3,000 a night in tips", and who chronicles her exploits at a Tumblr called SexDrugsandBottleService,

"And that doesn't include what's going on behind the scenes. You're making hooker money, right? So if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck..."

Oy vey. Thankfully New York Magazine also breaks down the hierarchy of the clubs at which these bottle-girls-cum-hookers latch on to Tiger Woods wannabes - making it easier to avoid (or find) more of the same.

"The current clubs for the rich and famous and those who want to meet them are 1oak, Avenue, Provocateur, and SL. Rose Bar and Boom Boom Room don't do bottle service and are thus considered on the outskirts of its culture, though the latter, with its notoriously tough door policy, is the most exclusive late-night venue in town. Greenhouse, Juliet, Tenjune, and the rest are middle-of-the-road. Former hot spot Marquee is virtually off the radar for the cool crowd."

And to think we've been wasting all this time at Marquee.

The queen of quirky pop and the king of insult...One of the best LA couples to unite? ...Or is it a disaster waiting to happen?

Katy Perry's fiance, Russell Brand, is a hot mess. We can see why she may be a bit ashamed by Russy. On his first major U.S. television appearance, he managed to insult virgins, The Jonas Brothers (who may or may not still be virgins), Madonna, and President Bush. He's just that type of dude who doesn't care what he says or who he says it to.

Alas, there must be something enchanting about Mr. Brand. He managed to snatch one of the hottest pop singers out there, even with that shaggy hair of his.

Yet we can't deny, Katy and Russell do seem to somehow fit together! Katy may be a bit ashamed by her boy's actions, but what can she do? Boys will be boys!
