But when the Sheen party train rolls into Dragonfly nightclub ... Carlstadt PD tells us they'll ratchet things up and put about 10 officers on the night shift. Despite the extra officers ... cops say they don't anticipate anything more than crowd control and traffic issues. more on this story

Kayvon Zand To Star in Caligula Maximus
Kayvon Zand will lead the cast of Alfred Preisser and Randy Weiner's Caligula Maximus at House of Yes, 342 Mauer St. in Brooklyn, New York, beginning March 31st through April 17th.

Described by the Village Voice as "a dirty-minded extravaganza," Caligula Maximus feat. Kayvon Zand combines elements of a musical with songs inspired by a pop icon, a high-wire circus and a nightclub installation.

A combination of nudity, frivolity and 70′s-inspired decadence, the show is set on the last night of the notorious emperor's life. Originally staged to critical acclaim at La Mama, the sold-out play with music has been overhauled as an all-singing, all-dancing spectacle in which audiences are encouraged to take off their togas for a dip in the Cosmic Pool. more on this story
