When RENTheads Unite: Midnight Show at the Ziegfeld

Tonight I went to the 12 midnight showing of RENT. Yes, that makes this the 2nd time I’ve seen this movie in one week. The first time was at the world premiere.
But this time was just as fun. It was great to see it with such a responsive crowd. The most fun thing was seeing [...]

This Year I Give Thanks to Drunks

Check out Tricia Romano’s clubber/nightlife personalities rundown of who is thankful for what this Thanksgiving. Karen and Sarah are thankful for each other, Jessica Coen is thankful for Adderall (I’m sure TomKat is thrilled), music producer Gordon Raphael is thankful for being “sent home” from the new Strokes album, and the only thing I could [...]

Jailbirds in Needlepoint

Check out the latest show by artist Maria E. Piñeres entitled “A Rogues’ Gallery”, which features needlepoint versions of celebrity mugshots. Above you can see the one she did of Jack White from the infamous Jason VonBondie incident. The show stays up at DCKT Contemporary until December 17, 2005.

The Return of the SuperHot Supermodel

Holy moley! I just got a lady boner looking at the new cover of Maxim with Cindy Crawford. She looks great!
More pics here and the whole interview (and even MORE pics) here.

Was Sony BMG Purposely Punishing Listeners of Bad Music?

Taking a look at the list of titles which Sony BMG used XCP technology which installed a rootkit onto consumer’s computers, I can’t help but wonder if they intentionally put XCP as a punishment for buying crappy music like Celine Dion, Our Lady Peace, and Switchfoot. Talk about insult to injury!
The latest update to the [...]

Kate Moss: Still Prettier Than You

I’m totally against drug abuse and all that, but I can’t help but feel that Kate Moss is still one of the most beautiful women in the world and I’d still love to see her looking gorgeous in advertisements and magazines. She’s such a great model. Take a look at her being attacked by ‘razzi [...]

Motor City Residents Must be Psyched…Real World: Detroit

I can’t remember if I’ve already written about this or not, but I don’t remember reading lots of emails saying “gag” or “oh shoot me now,” so I’m assuming I haven’t. But according to rumors, MTV’s “Real World” is currently setting up house in the decidedly “not really Detroit” suburban area of The D–Royal Oak. [...]

For Ryan Adams, the Hardest Part Is Finding the Venue

Ryan Adams played TriPAC tonight as part of the Wall Street Rising free concert series. As per usual, the show was a brilliant comedy of errors. First there was a false start to the show, where the band was announced but no one could find Ryan. About 10 minutes later Ryan Adams had apparently [...]

Just Take Me…Out Tonight!

As you may already know, I LOVE RENT! Like, a lot. Through the kindness of a really sweet person, I was fortunate enough to attend the world premiere of the movie at the Ziegfeld Theater tonight and the after party at Roseland.
I was a little nervous about seeing the movie because I’m such a HUGE [...]

Night After Night

After filling myself up to my eyeballs with Rent, I headed over to Hiro to catch The Sounds previewing songs off their new album, Dying to Say This to You. The crowd up front was totally into it, jumping around, punching their fists up in the air, and flickering their lighters. (But according to reports, [...]
