MOM SAYS IVAN NO!

 

December 26, 2006 — IVAN Wilzig, the New Jersey banking heir who likes to wear a cape with the peace sign and call himself "Sir Ivan," has been rejected by his septuagenarian mother, Naomi Wilzig. Ivan - who just bleached his hair a la Billy Idol - wanted to throw a New Year's Eve party in Miami at his mom's World Erotic Art Museum on Washington Avenue. But Naomi said no, fearing her collection of antique erotica - including the giant phallus from Stanley Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange" - would inflame Ivan's drunken guests into "a Caligula-esque frenzy." In recent weeks, some museum-goers have been caught on security cameras trying to replicate the positions and fantasies depicted in her priceless, perverse collection. Now Sir Ivan - who is about to launch his dance remake of the Buffalo Springfield classic "For What It's Worth" - is on the hunt for a new venue for his Dec. 31 bash.
