Remember Neighbors Helping Neighbors? No? That's cuz you don't watch CBS4. If you did, you'd remember Neighbors Helping Neighbors as the heartening charitable campaign that sprang up, seemingly fully formed, from the CBS4 studio in that terrifying first week after Hurricane Andrew and that somehow never went away. It's still there, doing all kinds of good work for families in need, lying in wait for the next crisis. Why not help 'em out Wednesday by throwing shade with a bunch of dirty-minded, drunken drag queens? You can! At Lips' "Dinner With the Divas" (1421 E. Oakland Park Blvd., Oakland Park), you can gobble a three-course meal and a coupla cocktails prix fixe for $50, plus diva-tippage, while watching Lips' lovely ladies do Diana, Reba, Tina, Madge, and more. Also -- you can meet Jorge Estevez from CBS! Visit neighbors4neighbors.org or lipsusa.com.
