Garage Sale – Real Housewife foreclosure style

Teresa Giudice, the Real Housewife of NJ foreclosure princess who is $11 million in debt, is selling the overblown monstrosity of a house for a few dollars shy of $4 million. But if that’s out of your budget, can I interest you in her grill, her boat, her tractor, or her wedding ring? Gawker has [...]

Gossip! – Stream the New Los Lobos Album

Los Lobos, the band that brought the world La Bamba (you’ll know it when you hear it, even if you didn’t know the actual title) is back for more. The Chicano rock band is scheduled to release a new album on August 3. Los Lobos has been performing since the 70′s, but they’ve embraced the [...]

Pop Culture Pop-Up – ESPY Awards

Anyone who likes their sports stars coupled with the SNL cast (sports with a side of comedy!) was watching the ESPY’s, ESPN’s annual award show the other night.

Gossip! – The Green Lantern

Entertainment Weekly has a sneak peek at Hollywood’s next superhero, Ryan Reynolds as The Green Lantern. If I were a betting man, I’d buy me some stock in Green Lantern on the Movie Futures Market. It’s got SMASH written all over it. With Ryan’s power ring (and his six-pack abs) I’ll go out on a [...]

Gossip! – Lady Gaga Eyes

I love me some Alexander McQueen sparkly platforms and bubble dresses as much as the next Gaga fan, but I’m definitely not gaga over this new trend. Inspired by the singer’s creepy cartoon eyes in Bad Romance, teens across the globe are investing in circle contacts, contact lenses that extend past the pupils to cover [...]

Gossip! – The Internet is Over

Might as well trash my Macbook and iPhone, because according to Prince, the Internet is over. The pop star told the UK’s Daily Mirror that the Internet is like MTV-”At one time MTV was hip and suddenly it became outdated.” As for my now-outdated Macbook and iPhone (and the iPad…and iPhone 4…and all those other [...]

Pop Culture Pop-Up – Wonder Woman’s New Clothes

“What woman wears the same outfit for 70 years?” That’s the question DC comics writer J. Michael Straczynski asks us. The answer? No one, not even Wonder Woman. She’s got a whole new rough gal get-up–no more stripes and certainly no more glitter. We say: Ick. Some questions for you to ponder: Who is even [...]

Gossip – Quiet Hero party

The Polish Consulate just hosted a book signing for Quiet Hero, my new book with Rita Cosby. Pictures from the night are on James Edstrom’s great site Times Square Gossip-which celebrates stories from “the center of the world.” The wonderful Ewa Junczyk-Ziomecka, Poland’s Consul General in NY, threw the standing room only party for Rita [...]
