DAVID R. Gillespie, what were you thinking? Why, oh why, did you file a complaint in 1998 with the New Jersey Division of Civil Rights claiming a bar's "Ladies Night" promotion - free admission and discounted drinks for women - discriminated against men? Did you get rejected at the Coastline Bar, Dave? Did some awful woman hurt your feelings so much that you lashed out at having to pay a $5 cover charge and full price for drinks? The civil rights division agreed with Gillespie, and deemed "Ladies Night" unlawful.

"CELEBRITY CIRCUIT," a non-news division of CBS, reports that Adam Lambert and his Finnish "Big Brother" boyfriend Sauli Koskinen have made up after causing a gay bar brawl (that's a phrase you don't hear too often) in Helsinki. Both were detained by Finnish police early yesterday. There is no truth to the rumor that the fight started when Sauli mocked Adam's runner-up finish on "American Idol" when he won "Big Brother. " Adam tweeted the real reason for the incident: "Jetlag+Vodka=blackout," he wrote.

The mismatch was apparent to the judge and just about everyone else in the courtroom yesterday as Brian K. Jones pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and other charges stemming from a Dec. 13 attack on Robert Zokovitch. Jones, 23, of Morrisville, at 6-foot-5 and 245 pounds, stood head and shoulders above everyone else - even coming eye-to-eye with Bucks County Court Judge John Rufe, who usually seems to tower over defendants during hearings from the courtroom's elevated dais. Jones, a construction laborer, is the picture of health, with a solid physique, neatly trimmed beard, and long, light-brown ponytail.

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., dropped by a New York singles bar for an early- morning nightcap last week and ended up in a nasty altercation with a stranger. There were conflicting accounts about how much both men had to drink and who instigated the Jan. 12 incident at American Trash, a bar in Manhattan. A Kennedy spokesman said the senator had been approached by a man named Dennis McKenna, who "insulted the memory" of his slain brothers, triggering a confrontation. But McKenna, a former city hospital security officer and bouncer, charged last night on the Fox Network television show "A Current Affair" that it was a drunken Kennedy who had become belligerent and had challenged him to step outside after an exchange about Kennedy's behavior in the bar. Brian Woods, the bar manager, backed Kennedy's version of the events.
