More locals get into the act . . .

Posted in Celebrity, Film on Jan 21st, 2009 Comments

It looks like the film “Bride Wars” tapped a lot of local talent.
In addition to this Merrimac woman, and this cake maker, we’ve got two others confirmed in the film.
This is just from their mom, Nancy Chippendale, the legendary local dance teacher:
My daughters from North Andover, (Mass.,) Kelli & Kristina Carberry were in the movie [...]

I was little surprised [...]

‘Superstars of Dance’

Posted in Celebrity, Television on Jan 14th, 2009 Comments

To me, this reality show seemed like a bit of a train wreck. Some of these “superstars” seem a little less than stellar.
However, this show is growing me. First of all, Susie Castillo is a great co-host. She makes the shows. Yes, I am biased, because she a local girl — grew up in Lawrence [...]

This just in from my intern, Nicole Lonero:
Tuesdays, white tents always line the edges of Copley Square for the summer farmer’s markets held there — filled with vegetables, breads and even desserts.

Sex and the City

Posted in Celebrity, Comedy, Culture and Society, Film on Jun 2nd, 2008 Comments

Wow. What a great movie.
I was a fan of the show, in all its HBO glory. I thought network TV watered the raunchy out of the series on the WB/CW a bit much.
The movie bridged the two styles well, in a story that tied into the show well while also standing on its own.
I won’t [...]

The best American Idol ever

Posted in Celebrity, Music, Television on May 22nd, 2008 Comments

Mariska Hargitay people.
I thought last night’s show was the best “American Idol” ever, possibly the best concert ever.
I mean, pairing David Cook and ZZ Top? Totally brilliant.
Almost every moment of the show worked, from the performances of the Top 12 with stars like Donna Summer and (OMG!) Bryan Adams to the video presentations | from [...]
