Make Room for Park(ing) Day 2008 on Friday!
Map courtesy of the Open Planning Project. Friday is Park(ing) Day, when New York City's obscene surfeit of parking spots Will, for one glorious day, finally be put to good use! This year's Park(ing) Day Will see roughly 50 parking spaces—twice the number as last year—transformed into creative little urban oases. The whole thing started back in 2005, when Transportation Alternatives commandeered a parking spot and put out chairs so people could sit and gab. Now it's an international event in 50 cities

How is Mark NeJame helping Cindy Anthony?
Could it be that Cindy Anthony is beyond help when it comes to public relations? With great fanfare, Orlando criminal defense attorney Mark NeJame came aboard to advise George and Cindy Anthony, grandparents of missing Caylee Anthony. But Cindy Anthony's shouting match with protesters Saturday night suggested she isn't following NeJame's advice. Why can't she stay in her house? In television interviews last week, NeJame stressed that  George and Cindy are victims in this case: They're having troub

Hosting the Oscars bodes ill for Hugh Jackman
The Academy gives with one hand and it takes with the other. Good news for Hugh Jackman! He has just been booked as the official host of the 81st annual Academy Awards. Bad news for Hugh Jackman! This almost certainly means he Will not be nominated for his starring role in Australia (a film that this time last year, remember, was being tipped as the awards frontrunner for 2009). Somewhere in Beverly Hills the likes of Sean Penn, Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Mickey Rourke are breathing a quie

A completely permitted view
Consumed by what he calls his "beautiful obsession", John Ogden has trawled public libraries, galleries and museums and private collections in every state and territory in the past four years, poring over more than 300,000 images taken from 1847 to today. About 300 of them Will for the basis for what he calls the first book of its kind: a pictorial history of indigenous Australia, and a history of indigenous Australians' relationship with the camera. But perhaps Ogden's greatest achievement, and the reaso

Report: NBC unveils “The Jay Leno Show”…
Since the shocking announcement that Jay Leno is staying put on NBC, the peacock station just revealed more details on the new show. The name of the show is simply titled “The Jay Leno Show”. Like I said in a post before, the show will be basically the same thing as “The Tonight Show”. Making jokes about current news, two celebrity interviews and a musical guest. Guitarist Kevin Eubanks and the rest of the “Tonight Show” band will stick with Leno as well. Re

Once and future late-night afterthought Jimmy Fallon hit his stride on his second day of videoblogging, treating viewers to an early glimpse of the set of his show and reacting about as gleefully as everybody else to NBC’s retention of Jay Leno — a move essentially relegating him to the role of Rockefeller Center’s afterhours janitor.

TMZ Highlights Britney Spears’ MTV ‘Crockumentary’
Britney Spears' MTV documentary 'For The Record' touched on every part of the singer's life - except the parts people care about. TMZ listed some of those topics, like the string of pantiless pictures, the fake British accent, and those ambulance trips for mental-health evaluation, while blasting the "crockumentary" that was sponsored by her perfume lines. Watch the recap below. Tags: Britney Spears | Posted on December 3, 2008 at 4:45 am in Multimedia (No Ratings Yet) Relat

Tim McGraw hosts, and ‘SNL’s’ racy side vanishes
There are “Saturday Night Live” sketches that kill and those that bomb, but rare are those that leave the studio audience audibly horrified. That’s what happened this week, when the show reintroduced Jeff Montgomery (Will Forte), the escaped mental patient-turned-neighborhood nuisance. This time found Montgomery as the uninvited guest at a family Thanksgiving dinner (NBC.com has not yet put video of the skit on its website). When Forte delivered the kicker, a grotesque crack about the fami

Review: “Milk”
As a suited Sean Penn casually charms a disheveled James Franco in a subway station to the point where just moments later the two are alone in bed, eating cake and pondering their existences and Will for change, it becomes clear as daylight that “Milk,” directed by Gus Van Sant, is not a stiff period biopic as we have come to expect from the genre. Instead, the significant life of the first homosexual elected to major office - Harvey Milk – that ended tragically in 1978 at the hands of Dan

What new Jay Leno show will mean for late night music
In a post about the Roots accepting the house band job on the Jimmy Fallon show yesterday, I briefly mentioned how Leno was getting his own show on NBC, Monday-Friday at 10 p.m. EST. What I didn’t consider, until this post on Idolator, was what implications that development would have on the music business.   Leno’s show, at its current time-slot, is a prime destination for artists looking to promote their albums, and at a prime-time time slot, the impact of a booking on Leno&rs
