Over my head
I thought that last week’s “Top 10 things that could embarrass the stars at the Oscars,” list was really funny. Although, I didn’t get number 9, “Russell Crowe will confess that he’s in love with Dennis Quaid.” Will you explain why that’s funny. – Lester R., Weehawken
You see Lester, rumor had it that Russell Crowe and Meg Ryan hooked up when they were making Proof of Life. And Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid had been dating for years. So, we thought it would be hilarious if, during his best actor acceptance speech, the beefy, brutish Russell Crowe revealed that he was actually in love with Dennis Quaid.
You go, Mitch
I just wanted to lend my support to Union City’s Survivor contestant Mitchell Olson. I think he’s awesome. He’s my favorite Survivor! I hope he wins the $1 million. And I also hope he’s single. – Tracy, Union City
Well, he’s already lost, and we’re not sure he’s our favorite survivor, but he’s certainly more likeable than that Jerri from Hell!
Bad press
If the lead singer of Mojave 3, Neil Halstead, hates playing at Maxwell’s (“A talk with the main Mojave man,” Feb. 15) then why did he play there again last week? – Jeff, Hoboken
That’s a good question. Probably because despite the small stage, Maxwell’s is a cool place to play.

I was so sad to read that Joe Borzotta sold the Liquid Lounge. I love that place and I’ll miss it. – Heather, Hoboken
We’re sad, too.
