Since the value of the dollar is as weak as an American Idol judge's overuse of the word ''pitchy'', thank goodness for gold. And since gold is such a prized commodity, you know what that means -- there's a huge surplus of gold diggers out there. On Saturday, those miners will be a flocking to Set from 10 p.m.-midnight when professional matchmakers Torrie Tiernan and Sonja Capasso will conduct a search for a suitable suitor for a so-called ''handsome South Florida millionaire.'' According to the yentas, he is a ''30-something, hot millionaire real estate investor looking for the girl of his dreams and to start a family.'' That so-called millionaire is looking for a woman who ''fits into any social scene comfortably, is family oriented, wants kids, likes dogs . . . and is either a Floridian or willing to relocate.'' Oh, and she must be between the ages of 22-36. As for the yentas, they are also out to prove that you can, indeed, meet ''the one'' in a club. ''Who says you can't meet nice girls at the club,'' asks Tiernan. ''We are going to find our client the girl of his dreams.'' Skeptics may think they're dreaming but we kind of, uh, dig their optimism. Good luck girls -- and mystery man, who, incidentally, will not be there to endure the scrutiny. That's why he pays his matchmakers the big bucks. Says Opium Group VP of Communications Vanessa Menkes, ''The party is open to everyone, so frankly, if I were a single guy, I'd go there to see who turns up!'' Good advice!

Thanks Lesley, we love you!
