A reader sends along this delightful, if brief, exchange in response to our earlier post about Heather Graham's suddenly tragic Life cover story:

Me to my boyfriend (who owns Akbar): ME: Hey, so have you heard anything new from Heather Graham's people about renting the bar for her birthday celebration? HIM: Not since the show was canceled.

You know what? Maybe she still wants to celebrate. We've worked on enough bad TV shows to know that a quick mercy killing is sometimes a pretty happy event (well, at least for the people on a show who aren't paid an hourly wage), and once in a while a girl just wants to take a break from obsessing about her next ill-advised career move.
