Unlikely Headline: There's Eartha Kitt News

I'm not sure it really qualifies as news, but here it is anyway.  It seems Eartha Kitt -- the now 80 year-old lounge singer, who may be best known for playing Catwoman in the 60s tv series Batman -- struck a blogger the other night prior to her show at The Carlyle, on 76th and Madison.

From Concierge.com:

I was minding my own business at Manhattan's Cafe Carlyle bar last night when the lights dimmed and I heard a deep purrrrrrrrrr behind me. Ms. Eartha Kitt was warming up her vocal chords inches from my ear. What do you say to the sexiest 80-year-old on the planet when she throws off her shawl and declares the room chilly?

"You'll heat it up right away," I said, of course. She let out a shriek, thumped me on the chest, and strode to the stage.
