· Radar publisher Maer Roshan, among others, appears at Spike Gallery tonight to discuss "The Art of Collaboration," a forum in which creative people discuss how they work with other creative people to have their goals realized. We're pretty sure that $25 million checks from Mort Zuckerman can't hurt, either. [NYFA]
· Calling all insecure, "independent women!" Recently dumped and in need of consolation? Mandana Hoveyda discusses her new book, "I'm Fine: A Really Helpful Guide to the First 100 Days After Your Breakup," at the Barnes and Noble in Park Slope tonight. Thanks but no thanks, honey—we'll cope with prescription drugs and guilt-free bathroom stall hookups for now. 267 Seventh Avenue, 7:30pm.
· Those sputtering, socially inept buggers in the National Spelling Bee, as it turns out, are all pretty damn smart. Not sure we can say the same about The Devil Wears Prada author Lauren Weisberger. In any case, Ms. Weisberger, along with Jonathan Ames, James Frey, Sunday Styles columnist Alex Kuczynski, and a host of others all take part in a charity spelling bee at NYU tonight. Proceeds go to the Council of Literary Magazines and Presses. [CLMP]
