Holding a dinner for VIP guests after a movie screening is standard these days. Yet some questioned the choice to do so after a viewing of the new documentary "Food Inc." on Tuesday night. After all, the film does investigate how big factory farms raise and slaughter livestock and poultry — and it ain't pretty. "If I see chicken come up on the menu, I'm going to run screaming out of this place," said Regis Philbin as he arrived at L'Ecole, the restaurant of the French Culinary Institute.

The party, hosted by Quintessentially, was filled with the converted: chefs including Blue Hill's Dan Barber, Laurent Tourondel and Drew Nieporent; writers Michael Pollan and Eric Schlosser, and director Robert Kenner. Even the fashion crowd is on board this new food revolution. Daisy Lowe shops the Union Square greenmarket when she cooks for her boyfriend and David Lauren has started growing strawberries, potatoes and arugula at his home in Westchester. "If you didn't [see this film] because you were interested in learning, you come out feeling like you're on a mission now to eat differently," Lauren said.

"My kids planted a garden with their grandmother for Mother's Day," said Jeffrey Wright, who was there as a fan of the chefs and hoping to get some pointers for the kitchen. "It's a very hopeful film because a lot of this stuff is policy driven and consumer driven. I think we all have a sense of empowerment that we can do something about our own health."

Kirsten Dunst has stopped eating meat at fast food restaurants, but it seems that some habits die hard. "I'm a Del Taco girl," she said. "I like a bean and cheese burrito."

With many rumors still circulating around "Spider-Man 4", producer Todd Black has come up to set the record straight on Kirsten Dunst's status and which villain won't be featured. In the interview with The New York Post for "The Taking of Pelham 123", the producer first confirmed that Dunst is definitely set to return for the fourth film.

His declaration put down the rumor that the actress might be replaced. Furthermore, though revealing the absolute involvement of the 27-year-old actress, Black declined that the fourth movie will see a wedding between Mary Jane Watson and Peter Parker. He said that he "had no knowledge of that subplot", so wrote New York Post.

On the occasion, the "Knowing" producer also nixed the possibility of Morbius being the newest Spider-Man's foe. Instead, he came up with a few hints for which villain to be featured. "We're just coming up with who the villain's going to be now," he stated. "We'll be shooting in New York again. Trust me, people will appreciate who we pick, because it'll be a big part of New York." He then added that "the villain will be one of Spidey's foes from the comic, not a character invented for the film."

"Spider-Man 4" will see once again the teaming up of director-actor, Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire. Produced by Avi Arad, Grant Curtis, Laura Ziskin and Todd Black, the script will be provided by David Lindsay-Abaire, the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright for 2006's Broadway stage production "Rabbit Hole". The superhero movie itself is slated for May 6, 2011 U.S. release.

At this point, Kirsten Dunst’s involvement in the Sam Raimi-directed “Spider-Man 4” is tenuous at best. But if you haven’t been reading the comic books lately, you might not be aware that Mary Jane Watson is on the outs there, too.

After a shady deal with Mephisto to save the life of Aunt May, Peter Parker and Mary Jane’s marriage was no more, rendering the arachnoid hero a bachelor after years of upholding his vows — and needless to say, fandom wasn’t wild about the sudden change in status quo. Now, it looks like Marvel might be paying attention to the bullpucky calls from their readership with a recently disseminated wedding invitation for the Spider-Man universe!

Clearly, the knee-jerk reaction is that Peter’s days as Marvel’s most eligible bachelor are at an end! While the names on the invite are obscured, you can plainly see that one half of the marrying parties has Parker as their surname. Furthermore, the last three letters of the other participant is “-son,” which fits with Mary Jane Watson. Are they finally going to make nice and return to one another, devil be damned?
