IF you’re looking for ghosts, head to the Chelsea Hotel. “It’s definitely haunted. If there’s one place that’s haunted in Manhattan, it’s there,” Abel Ferrara, director of the new documentary “Chelsea on the Rocks,” told Page Six. “We were five months making this movie, and we could feel spirits all the time. They were all over the place.” The flick, featuring Ethan Hawke, Grace Jones, Bijou Phillips and Dennis Hopper, plus archival footage of Sid Vicious and Andy Warhol, is critical of the new management that is running the hotel, so don’t expect the premiere party there. Executive producer Jay Kubassek said, “There was constant friction between Abel and management, in particular when he tried to film in the lobby with Milos Forman. We assume they do not want us.”

In a recent piece in one of my favorite mags, the New Yorker titled “The Sure Thing,” Malcolm Gladwell, the king of countering widely held American assumptions, wrote that risk taking is not actually a widespread quality among hugely successful entrepreneurs. In fact, it’s just the opposite. Major entrepreneurs like Ted Turner and John Paulson are in reality so risk averse that they take—or took, when accumulating their massive wealth—all possible precautions to reduce risk. Big-time entrepreneurs, Gladwell suggests, are not the kind of wild gamblers who, because they have the courage to take big risks, eventually make a lot of money. They are more akin to the MIT Blackjack Team, from the book “Bringing Down the House,” or the movie with Kevin Spacey “21,” who discovered the game of blackjack was legally beatable, if you applied certain mathematical principles to it.
