Katie Holmes and her new boyfriend Jason Bard Yarmosky<\/a> arrived hand and hand at the opening of the Metropolitan Opera\u2018s 141st season at Lincoln Center.<\/p>\n

The couple dressed to the nines for the black-tie affair and had eyes only for each other when they weren\u2019t looking at the new production of \u201cMacbeth\u201d starring the brilliant soprano Lise Davidsen and Quinn Kelsey, the baritone who played Macbeth.<\/p>\n

Gerber had gone to Mexico to try ibogaine<\/a>, which is not approved by the FDA in the US.<\/p>\n

Dr. Nicholas Kardaras<\/a>, head of the New York Center for Living said, \u201cIbogaine, ketamine, and ayahuasca are psychedelic treatments that have become increasingly popular. There is some research indicating potential benefits, but they remain largely unregulated.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are in rehab because they\u2019re struggling with addiction. It doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re cured of their addiction,\u201d Dr. Kardaras said. \u201cFacilities take great pains to make sure substances don\u2019t come in, but it\u2019s not a perfect system.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sharon Stone<\/a> famously went commando in \u201cBasic Instinct\u201d but she does wear underwear.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was on an episodic TV show, and one day I walked out and my underwear and bras were all for sale on a folding plastic table outside,\u201d she told Variety. \u201cAnd I was so embarrassed.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cI just went to my manager and I was like, \u2018Chuck, I want my costumes in my contract.\u2019 He goes, \u2018That is the weirdest thing I\u2019ve ever heard.\u2019 I\u2019m like, \u2018I just don\u2019t want them auctioning off my underwear anymore.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Oscar campaigns are already heating up with \u201cThe Odyssey,\u201d starring Matt Damon, Zendaya, and Anne Hathaway, and the Spanish language film \u201cLa Bola Negra\u201d leading the pack.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a lot of fun,\u201d says the seating sensation. His vocals and guitar are a regular holiday noontime event at Michael\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Now the whole band is playing Oct. 3 a little uptown from his regular midtown media hotspot. It\u2019s something called Dive 106 at Amsterdam and 106th.<\/p>\n

No cobb salad, just great music served. Tell him you want a good seat.<\/p>\n
