Pioneer Square art walk covers a lot of ground
Pioneer Square offers traditional to contemporary art exhibitions the first Thursday of every month, so why not venture out tonight?

You can start a mile to the east with a studio tour of the newly opened Artspace Hiawatha Lofts. Then head to the Square to check out photography by Gregory Blackstock, who is autistic, as he packs you along to vacations across 26 states. And stretch your definition of the environment with an abstract exhibition on space and planets at SOIL Gallery.
Finally, award your adventuresome art spirit with some home-style Italian cooking.
Artspace Hiawatha Lofts Grand Opening
A grand opening for a new affordable-housing project whose 61 units include space for artist studios. The celebration includes an exhibition of the resident artists' work, along with music, entertainment and refreshments.
The project's developer, Minneapolis-based nonprofit Artspace, also created the Tashiro Kaplan Artist Lofts, a 50-unit affordable-housing development in Pioneer Square.
Celebration: 4-10 p.m. today, reception 5-6 p.m.
Address: 843 Hiawatha Place S., Seattle; 206-709-7611 or www.artspaceusa.org/neighborhood/hiawatha
Garde Rail Gallery
In celebration of the gallery's 10 years, it is showcasing the photography of Seattle artist Gregory Blackstock. His work features images from vacations across the country, through amusement parks, county and state fairs and boat races. And, opposed to traditional vacation shots, Blackstock provides a different view by including strangers and passers-by in his pictures.
Reception: 6-8 p.m. today.
Address: 110 Third Ave. S., Seattle; 206-621-1055 or www.garde-rail.com
SOIL Gallery
An exhibition about personal perceptions of the environment, called "Deep Space Punctuated by Planets," featuring Matt Browning, Eric Elliott, Jonathan Hudak and Whiting Tennis.
The theme results in pieces in mixed media and found objects in rather abstract compositions.
Reception: 6-8 p.m. today.
Address: 112 Third Ave. S., Seattle; 206-264-8061 or http://soilart.org
Café Bengodi
Pioneer Square is inundated with pubs and fast eats, but this place and its sister restaurant next door, Denunzio's Italian Restaurant, will force you to slow down, sit down and savor the food.
Try the garlic bread, the pescatore seafood pasta (I don't usually finish my plate, but I was close to licking this one clean) and the homemade tiramisu. All without breaking the bank — entrées average $10. Pastas are about $13, large sandwiches (with salad) are $8 and a pizza (big enough to share) is about $12.
Dinner hours: 5-9 p.m. daily
Address: 700 First Ave., Seattle; 206-381-0705 or www.seattleslittleitaly.com/cafe-bengodi-restaurant.html.

Dr Phil scraps Britney Spears show
Television psychologist Dr Phil McGraw has scrapped plans to air a show about troubled pop singer Britney Spears after he was criticised for visiting her while she was in hospital.
McGraw visited Spears at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, after she was admitted for an evaluation following a custody dispute at her home.
Several other counsellors later accused the therapist of breaching the singer's privacy by visiting her at the hospital.
However, McGraw said yesterday, in an interview with 'The Early Show', that he visited Spears "at the request of her family".
He claimed that the singer's mother, sister and brother "were very frustrated that she apparently wasn't going to be held (in hospital) for a longer period of time."
McGraw said that he had planned to tape a show on yesterday, stressing that the show would not have explored the tabloid side of Spears' problems, but instead would have focused on other issues surrounding her case.
"Clearly, it is not just Britney's family struggling to find a way to protect adult children who cannot be ordered or compelled to seek help," he said.
The television psychologist also said: "Because the Spears situation is too intense at this time, and out of consideration to the family, I have made the decision not to move forward with the taping."
McGraw said that details of his visit to Spears would remain private.
The singer was released from hospital at the weekend.

Amy Winehouse chops off her beehive
Troubled star Amy Winehouse has shocked fans by chopping off her trademark beehive hairstyle.
The 'Back To Black' singer has had her hair cut into a short crop, and has swapped her formerly dark locks for a peroxide blonde hairdo.
The new style is reported to have been the work of her hairdresser Alex Foden, who lives in the same east London apartment block as Winehouse.
A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "She just said she felt like it. She'd thought about having a blonde beehive but decided on the shorter look."
A spokesperson for the star adds, "She wanted a new look for the New Year."

Is Mischa Barton Embarrassed By Her Lesbian Movie?
Mischa Barton’s bosses are not too happy with the star, after she failed to attend a number of promotional duties for her new film You And I.
In the movie, the actress plays a Russian lesbian who falls in love at a t.A.T.u. concert, however judging by Barton’s apathy she is not pleased with the final product.
When she failed to attend the film's premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in France earlier this month, the former O.C. actress insisted she "was never due to go".
But now You And I director Roland Joffe cannot locate Barton in London to complete promo duties in the British capital.
He tells PageSix: "She hasn't pulled out of interviews, she's pulled out of everything.
“Her room is here, she is here, but trying to get the two together has just been impossible. We just don't know where Mischa is."
