That's why the 45-year-old real estate saleswoman and mother of three is propped up on a gray surgical chair at the posh Upper East Side Manhattan office of Dr. Rhoda Narins, professor at New York University and president-elect of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery. Narins wields a slender hypodermic needle filled with a whitish slurry. After marking the laugh lines and creases around Weissman's mouth with a rust-colored disinfectant, she steps out of her high-heeled pumps to get the angle right and sets to work. Fifteen minutes and perhaps two dozen injections...
...night without their dogs. At Completely Canine in Miami, Tuesdays and Thursdays are Yappy Hour (find a dog lover and you've found a pun lover). "Dogs need parties as much as we do," says Linda Monterrey, who attends with Gidget, a scrappy, petite Chihuahua mix. At Manhattan's Doggie-Do salon (seriously, they love puns), owners can hold dog birthday parties and bark mitzvahs (you believe me now?) with printed invitations, gift registries and a game called ice hockey, in which dogs chase a slippery liver snack frozen in a block of ice across the floor.

...Monday's NBC upfront, at Manhattan's Metropolitan Opera House, you could see the stars of "Will and Grace" trotted onstage like so many singing bar-mitzvah dancers, performing a "rock opera" that twitted executives and sang the network's praises. At one point, the prerecorded music crapped out, leaving the four singing a parody of "Dancing Queen" a cappella - and let's just say it revealed that Debra Messing is, um, not a professional singer, a fact underscored when she sang a duet with costar Harry Connick Jr., who is.
