Beyonce and Jay-Z took in a Celtics game last night in Boston. They were spotted (and photographed) by staffer Tim Jean.

Rob Lowe, shooting a film locally here in the Merrimack Valley, was also in attendance — unfortunately not in the front row, like the newlyweds.
According Tim, the pair — rooting for Cleveland (ouch) didn’t seem to be that interested in the game. Jay-Z spent a lot of time texting and … continued »

Last night, I went to the Border Cafe in Burlington as a guest judge for the latest meeting of the Hello Stiletto Shoe Club.
If you haven’t heard about the club, let me spread the word: It’s fantastic. Women (and men) who love shoes meet up regularly around the Boston area (or Atlanta and Chicago for those chapters) and celebrate footwear while eating, drinking and chatting.
Here are some highlights from last night’s meeting:
From Georgetown, Mass., native … continued »

Hey theater junkies.
If you’ve been waiting with baited breath about what shows are coming to Boston this year from Broadway, well, here’s the scoop (the stuff in quotes is my take):
A CHORUS LINE – Longest-running American Broadway musical ever!
September 11 – October 5, 2008
The Opera House
In an empty theatre, on a bare stage, casting for a new Broadway musical is almost complete. For 17 dancers, this audition is the chance of a lifetime. It’s what they’ve worked for - with every drop of sweat, every hour of training, every day of their lives. It’s the one opportunity to do what they’ve always dreamed— to have the chance to dance. This is A CHORUS LINE, the musical for everyone who’s ever had a dream and put it all on the line. Winner of nine Tony Awards®, including “Best Musical” and the Pulitzer Prize for drama, this singular sensation is the longest-running American Broadway musical ever. Now A CHORUS LINE returns. Come meet the new generation of Broadway’s best. “A CHORUS LINE is back, and it’s thrilling!” - John Lahr, The New Yorker.
I think the was the second Broadway musical I ever saw. I loved it instantly, though it’s weird experience seeing it at 13 with your parents.

I hear there’s a movement to save the show and I want to write about it.
If you’ve never heard of “Jericho,” it’s a CBS drama set in a small Kansas town that survives a severe nuclear attack on the United States. Great ensemble cast. One of the best dramas on TV.
Would love to talk to some local, Eagle-Tribune circulation area fans who are passionate about seeing the show return for a second season.

I love Kathy Griffin.
For this reason, I was totally excited to see her perform last night in Lowell, Mass. The comedian did back to back shows, with barely a rest in between.
Her act was a typical one for Griffin | telling the audience tales from her life in Hollywood.
However, I was particularly amazed by the fact that she was so current in her stories — she tackled Paula Abdul’s gaff this week on “American Idol” … continued »
