Little known fact about Defamer Videographer Molly McAleer … she is a Barbara Walters superfan. When she decided that she couldn’t choose between putting together tonight’s To Do’s and reading Babs’ new book, Audition, she pulled a page out of The Hours and did both. Take that, Stephen Daldry!
For those of you that are video-averse, here are tonight’s To Do listings in handy dandy print form.
· Atmosphere (the band, not the layer of gasses that surround the Earth) is going to be performing at The Henry Fonda.
· When it’s $5 drink night, everyone feels rich. If you bring a fat roll of Abraham Lincolns to Rage tonight, you’re bound to make some new friends.
· Human Giant’s Rob Huebel and Paul Scheer will be playing host at UCB for the venue’s popular MySpace night, in which three audience members are plucked at random and mocked mercilessly based upon whatever appears on their MySpace page. We have never been more glad to be Facebook users.

Someone, apparently a fanatic fan of Jolin Tsai, has paid NT$40,200 to get 23 sesame seeds she was alleged to have dropped off on a paper napkin while she was munching her Kentucky Fried Chicken burger, the United Daily News reported yesterday.
Jolin is a very young pop singer, who has acquired a sizable following over the past five years.
But she denied through her agent she never ate at the chicken-burger outlet as was claimed. "It’s a fake," Jolin was quoted by her agent as saying. "They (sesame seeds) are not mine. I never visited that Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet."
The sesame seeds were put on an auction on Yahoo Kimo on March 17. The seller, identified only as qqboya, only showed the 23 seeds on a paper napkin online.
The floor price was NT$1 a seed. In its sales pitch, the seller claimed he saw Jolin at a Taipei Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet on March 14.
He took a picture of the paper napkin with the sesame seeds and told would-be buyers he watched Jolin munch the chicken burger with gusto.
Are they the seeds Jolin actually dropped?
"I am an honest dealer," said the seller. "I didn’t take a picture of Jolin eating the chicken burger," he went on, adding: "I can only swear that Jolin dropped them."
The seller also recommended that Henry Lee, a Chinese-born forensic expert in the United States, be asked to run a DNA test on the sesame seeds in question.
Lee was invited back to Taiwan in 2004 to run a series of forensic tests for the mystery-shrouded shooting in Taiwan. One homemade bullet grazed President Chen Shui-bian’s abdomen in what police described as an assassination attempt on the eve of the 2004 presidential election. Chen was reelected, thanks to sympathy votes cast on the following day.
