J.LO'S GRAFFITI BUST
2011-11-30 18:56:00 Bronx native and internationally-revered songstress/actress, Jennifer Lopez, is under major scrutiny for a recent Fiat commercial that she appears in. First, the ad was criticized when it was discovered that J. Lo's parts were actually shot in Los Angeles and not the New York City streets that the producers would actually have you believe (Brooklyn Bridge and the elevated 6 Train). Now, the ad is under more fire as a copyrighted graffiti mural (I Heart The Bronx) by the infamous Tats Cru was used without permission. Ms. Lopez and Co. can definitely expect a call from their lawyer. Yikes!

Population control, mind control, presidential bloodlines, you name it, he disscusses it!
NEW YORK, PHEW YORK
2011-10-11 06:36:00 Hotel concierge, Amber Jones, knows a thing or two about getting around The Big Apple. But it's not the sights and sounds that she concerns herself about in her upcoming children's book New York, Phew York--it's the smells! Jones says that she got the idea for creating the scratch-and-sniff storybook about the different aromas (and stenches) of the city after she found herself walking towards the scent of nearby pizza, only to accidentally step in horse manure. A slew of publishing proposals and fundraisers later and she's getting ready to release the title this coming November. With 450 pre-orders already placed, we think it's pretty safe to say that this idea smells like success!

Fans can expect an official release of the t90 Laser IV on October 1st, 2011. But until then, just rest assured that Nike pulled out plenty of stops for this one.

For instance, I was eating outside a café when who should walk by but the guy who raped Ving Rhames in "Pulp Fiction"!That's right, the guy who played Zed, who kidnapped Butch Coolidge and Marcellus Wallace and then buggered Wallace in some kind of torture chamber basement while the Gimp looked after Coolidge, was just walking down the street talking on a cell phone. Because he looks like a creepy dude anyway, I was not too surprised when he spotted a good-looking girl walking the opposite direction and turned to watch her ass, making some kind of...

Roger Nygard goes where no docu director dares: 'The Nature of Existence'
2010-07-02 02:39:00 By BOB ANDELMAN Roger Nygard has come back to Earth?or has he? The highly regarded documentary filmmaker went to the outer reaches of the galaxy a few years ago when he profiled Star Trek fans?and a few actors from the show?to make Trekkies and its sequel, Trekkies 2. Somehow, he made fun of Trek fans at the same time he captured the essence of the beliefs and devotion to the world of Gene Roddenberry. -------------- LISTEN TO ROGER NYGARD INTERVIEW! -------------- Now he?s back trying to make sense of a much greater challenge, The Nature of Existence itself. Nygard?s The Nature of Existence premiered in New York City on June 18, at the Quad Cinemas, 34 West 13th Street, and opens on July 2 at the Sunset 5 Theaters @ 8000 W. Sunset Blvd. in Los Angeles: One of the boldest characters in Nygard?s Existence is someone whom I instantly remembered from college in the early 1980s: Brother Jed Smock, the self-appointed campus evangelist at the University of Florida. ...

Roger Lowenstein takes Mr. Media to 'The End of Wall Street'
2010-04-22 22:15:00 By BOB ANDELMAN The sky is falling! The sky is falling! What?s that? The sky has already fallen? Damn, I hate being late to the party. Apparently, it?s old news that the world financial system was on the edge of collapse over the course of recent years and those fat, rich bastards on Wall Street?and President Obama?s right, it is fun to hate on them?nearly sent us all into oblivion. But what you may not know is who and what brought this mess upon us. That?s where financial journalist Roger Lowenstein fits in. Lowenstein?s new book, The End of Wall Street?which entered the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists at #1 upon publication?is a perfectly timed dissection of what happened and who?s to blame. Lowenstein even starts the book with a handy roster of the play?s characters so it?s easy to keep track of the villains. And his timing on this show is perfect, since less than an hour ago, Obama was at Cooper Union in Manhattan, addressing the titans of W...

But this is, like, 2010, and I couldn?t be further from knowing who?s hot, who?s not?or why it matters. Sometimes, though, it?s not about me?hard t believe, I know?it?s about you, beloved listeners. So I?m delighted to welcome Devorah Rose to today?s show. Devorah is the editor-in-chief of Social Life Magazine in the Hamptons and, more germane to being in the moment, she?s a star of The CW?s new reality TV series, ?High Society.?
