SURFING THE TUBE.Byline: TOM HOFFARTH TODAY ``Go To Hell, Mike Piazza.'' That's the name of a comedy flick Ben Stiller is trying to get made, about a hot dog vendor who believes his childhood friendship with the Mets catcher has caused all that's gone wrong in his life. Funny, but it's also what the New York media was saying in effect after it found out Piazza stayed around Shea Stadium until 1:30 a.m. after a Mets-Giants game to film a scene for a movie with Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant - Piazza went 0 for 4 the next night. Just wait'll they hear about how Piazza plans to spend his down time this week in L.A. No doubt he'll sneak out to some Hollywood sushi bar for another commercial shoot with Alf.
