COMEDIAN Andy Borowitz doesn't just make fun of the news, he "predicts" it.

For example:

"Former White House intern Monica Lewinsky will toss her hat into the ring for the Democratic nomination for president. Ms. Lewinsky will offer herself as an alternative to Hillary, saying, 'It worked before.' "

Sharing this kind of bold prediction as part of a live monthly stage show called "Next Week's News" - catch it this Thursday at 8 p.m. at Carolines on Broadway with special guest star Amy Sedaris - Borowitz offers juicy fake headlines from the week ahead. He also quizzes his guests to get their take on future events, as he did at the last show with Arab-American comic Dean Obeidallah.

"Dean's prediction was that Osama bin Laden was going to try to change his image in the West by appearing on 'Dancing With the Stars,' " Borowitz says. "That actually turned out not to be true."
