Dan Gross | Royal Ballet dancers get Kinky

A FUN-LOVING group of dancers from London's distinguished Royal Ballet kept a game of Kinky Quizzo going quite late Tuesday night at Valanni (1229 Spruce).

The company is here for the first time in 31 years performing "Romeo & Juliet" and "Swan Lake" at the Mann Center through tomorrow. After Tuesday's performance, the dancers and other company staff arrived at Valanni just as its weekly Kinky Quizzo contest was coming to a close. The group enjoyed the contest and begged Hostess with the Mostess Jen Karwoski to offer another round of the sex-trivia game for it and the other late-night tables. She obliged.

Some of the gang started asking each other their own questions and a good time was had by all. Karwoski gave the dance group gift cards for free-porn-on-demand from TLAVideo.com.

As for the ballet, the People Paper's Laurie Conrad, who saw Tuesday's performance, raves about the "astounding dancers, gorgeous sets, luscious music."

And speaking of dancing

15-year-old Sara Michelle Murawski, who has studied dance at the Rock School since she was 3, is one of three finalists competing to grace the cover of the next issue of Dance Spirit magazine. She's featured in the magazine's current issue. Murawski is homeschooled through the Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School due to the intensity of her dance training.

Taylor back at Q102

Angi Taylor has been hired to round out the lineup on Q102's Booker show along with Booker, Diego Ramos, and Blaire. The strange part is she'll be broadcasting from Chicago. Program director Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn says, "We'll use technology to assemble our dream team if distance requires it." Taylor formerly worked on the Q102 morning show under Chio, now at Wired 96.5. Taylor is excited. We reported first in May that Jil Crapanzano was let go by the station and that Taylor was auditioning to replace her. Taylor left Q102 in September 2004, after becoming pregnant and moved to Chicago with boyfriend Dave Kampel. Their daughter was born in April 2005.

Protesters provoke Perrier

Chef Georges Perrier decided he'd had enough of the animal-rights activists who regularly protest outside his Le-Bec Fin (1523 Walnut) over the use of foie gras.

Over the weekend, Perrier and staffers came outside to heckle the protesters and carried glasses of wine and held up pieces of the controversial duck-liver dish, made by force-feeding ducks until their livers explode.

Perrier did not return our call.

'Toastee' will attend Flav roast

Havertown's Jennifer Toof, aka Toastee on VH1's "Flavor of Love," says she and boyfriend, Joe Verzella, 28, of Liberty Builders, will attend the Comedy Central Roast of Flavor Flav July 22 in Los Angeles. The roast of the Public Enemy rapper premieres at 10 p.m. Aug. 12. Yesterday we reported on the contents of "Toastee Exposed," a new DVD featuring Toof, 23, and a mystery man in compromising positions. Toof swears she had nothing to do with the tape's sale to Vivid Entertainment and that she is not being paid by Vivid. Comedian Katt Williams serves as Roast Master. This year's Roasters include Carrot Top, Jimmy Kimmel, Lisa Lampanelli, Bridgitte Neilsen, Patton Oswalt and Snoop Dogg.

Stephon comes to sign stuff

New York Knicks guard Stephon Marbury will be at Steve & Barry's at the Franklin Mills Mall at 5 p.m. tomorrow as part of his Starbury Movement Tour. Last year Marbury launched a 200-piece line of affordable sneakers and clothing exclusive to Steve & Barry's. The centerpiece is the $14.98 Starbury II basketball shoe that Marbury wears during NBA games. *
