A Flick for Mr. Spitzer? The Babysitters is a movie about a babysitter who bonks her charges’ father. When his married pals decide they, too, would like to bonk a babysitter, the babysitter does what any entrepreneurial lass would do: She starts a high-class prostitution ring! Expected to attend tonight’s screening are the film’s stars, John Leguizamo, Cynthia Nixon and Katherine Waterston. And then, in the latest chapter of famous people deciding they are also—who knew!—talented fine art photographers (see: Hedi Slimane, Lou Reed, Mikhail Baryshnikov), rocker Bryan Adams opens a photo exhibit featuring portraits of other frightening famous persons such as Amy Winehouse, Mick Jagger, Lindsay Lohan, Plácido Domingo and Michael Buble, all to raise money for hearing loss. (Well, if anyone can make us want to lose our hearing, it’s Michael Buble.)

[The Babysitters screening, Tribeca Grand, 2 Avenue of the Americas, 8 p.m., invite only; Bryan Adams’ Hear the World exhibit, 413-415 West 14th Street, 7 p.m., 800-503-6369]
