A body being found in the East River is nothing new, but as Gothamist notes this morning, the New York Post is reporting that this body could be that of Spaulding Gray. As I mentioned in my (overwritten) second post, Gray is someone I have long admired and often thought of and is a veryContinue reading “OH NO, SAY IT ISN’T SO”

Thank goodness nothing important happened this weekend. Here’s your AIM Morning Briefing of the top 3 things you need to know: Breaking News: Iraqis Sign New Constitution It seems that “Breaking” just means “really important.” Of course, this is a transitional constitution that doesn’t address several issues, and they don’t actually have a real government,Continue reading “ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW: THE “DAMN IT’S MONDAY” EDITION”

HBO has been making fantastic series television for the last several years. People mourned the passing of Sex and the City just two weeks ago, but never fear because a brilliant brand new series just premiered last night. It’s called The Sopranos, and damn that’s good television. I must admit, though … it seemed oddlyContinue reading “DID YOU CATCH THAT GREAT NEW SHOW?”

After $212-Million in 12 days, The Passion of the Christ is a bonafide blockbuster. There has already been merchandising associated with the film — necklaces and other kinds of trinkets — but I’m waiting for the Jesus, Pontius Pilate and Caiphas action figures. Now kids in the privacy of their own homes can flay aContinue reading “OBVIOUSLY, YOU WEREN’T PAYING ATTENTION”

If you missed Omarosa’s ouster last week, here’s another chance to join the celebration. And for even more fun, it turns out Miss Thang has her own website which is really worth checking out. There doesn’t seem to be much there, but in the short bio alone, we learn that she had a “humble youth.”Continue reading “IN CASE YOU MISSED IT”

I realized on Thursday night and again on Sunday that only one week into my life as a blogger, I had already failed you, my loyal reader. (If there are two of you now, YAY!) Thursday, in anticipation of the big opening of the movie Starsky & Hutch, TV Land had a little marathon ofContinue reading ““CARMEN ELECTRA CARRIED OFF BY RADIOACTIVE BUGS ON A TROPICAL ISLAND””

A friend of mine has recently decided to forward me numerous and often humorous missives with regularity. Why she doesn’t respond to my reply emails, who knows? But that’s neither here nor there right now. The email was a comment on a terrifying group of which I had previously been unaware: The Presidential Prayer Team.Continue reading “I’M DEFINITELY PRAYING FOR SOMETHING”

The delusional Omarosa finally got her comeuppance on last night’s The Apprentice. Her final words in the cab during which she prayed the others would open their minds a little was a perfect capper to her entire stay on the series. Even more amusing is her answer on the NBC website to the question: “WhatContinue reading “POT? STEP AWAY FROM THE KETTLE. YOU’RE FIRED.”

MUG provides its expert opinion today on what should have gone into the new Shops at Time Warner AOL Time Warner Time Warner Center, and really, who can argue with any of them? (Scroll down to “On the Radar.”) I’m generally a fan of Borders, even over B&N, but Coliseum Books is the best, andContinue reading “IF IT WERE A GOOD MALL, ALL DAY LONG I’D BIDDY-BIDDY-BUM”
