Insanely addictive.
On Monday night I headed over to my favorite bar, 15 Romolo, to be a guest judge for a Gong-Show Karaoke competition. The event was sponsored by Chartreuse, an aromatic French liquor with a vibrant green color. It just so happens that my current favorite cocktail — The Last Word — uses Chartreuse. I ordered one and asked my bartending buddy, Aaron how to make it. The Last Word is a classic Read more
Yesterday I proved to myself that I really could spend an entire day watching movies and not get tired of it. In fact, it started to work like a drug — the more films I took in, the more I wanted to watch. So, maybe it's a good thing that I leave Park City today! Check out my third collection of thoughts on this year's Sundance Film Festival: Watching four movies in a row on Tuesday, I really Read more
Last week, the internet was abuzz with these pics of Winona's Ryder's Bosom and judging from the way she was yanking up her top on set yesterday, she wants to make sure the girls don't make another web-ready appearance. Well, at least (as I can only assume she wants, though I don't know her personally) she's helping move away from Winona Ryder: Petty Thief, even if the next stop is Winona Ryder: Read more
Even though Winona looks pissed off on the set of her new film The Last Word, she's still pretty darn cute. Glad to see her out of head to toe black and into something a little more - okay it's not colorful per se but it's a good look for her. The film itself, however, seems to be pretty dark. It stars Wes Bentley as a man who makes his living composing other people's suicide notes. Winona Read more

Dealnews, a site that scours the web for the best deals, gives the lowdown on the best and worst deals to expect this Memorial Day weekend. Best Deals: Apparel. Spring Read more
Famous for its five-word acceptance speeches, last night's Webby Awards honored Steve Jobs in its perfectly succinct fashion. Actors John Hodgman and Justin Long — of the PC and Mac commercials — took the stage, along with Richard Dreyfuss — narrator of the "Here's to the crazy ones . . . " "Think Different" Apple ad — to introduce the video of Hollywood heavyweights, politicians, and Read more
Ready or not, James Bond is back! The first teaser for Skyfall is here, and while there's only a small bit of dialogue and not a lot of hints about the plot (though a word association game makes it sound like the title "Skyfall" is a mission that Bond has no problem completing), there is enough of star Daniel Craig looking slick and sexy to get me excited about this installment. The ominous Read more
Marion Cotillard is at Cannes this week chatting up her latest movie Rust and Bone. She wore Dior last night for the red carpet premiere of the film, and posed alongside costars Matthias Schoenaerts, young actor Armand Verdure, and director Jacques Audiard. The picture is ready for audiences after Marion and Matthias worked on it together last Fall in the South of France. Marion plays Stéphanie Read more
