Save your Yum-o T-shirts and ideas for 30-minute meals for another day: It appears Rachael Ray’s tasty production crew will be the only ones tramping around NoLibs this April. This is the official word Michael Klein received from a production rep:
The High Noon rep says that because of Ray’s busy schedule, only production people will visit the restaurants and that this had been the plan from the start.
So, why even send out a press release for that? It’ll be interesting to see if Deuce has any cancellations due to the lack of Ray-ness. And, also? These FHM photos of Rachael are just downright disturbing. Even the wooden spoon looks awkward and uncomfortable in that photo.
On April 4th, ubiquitous entertainment food varmint Rachael Ray will bring her blinding choppers and pedestrian culinary tastes to Northern Liberties restaurant Deuce to film a segment of Rachael Ray’s Tasty Travels. (For those unfamiliar with the concept: Ray swoops into town, samples the local fare, gushes about it, has trouble containing her excitement over modestly priced fried cheese. Lather, rinse, repeat …)
Deuce is taking reservations for the date, which will most likely fill up very quickly. NoLibs will officially be overrun by packs of 40ish Talbot’s-wearing women that day, so local merchants selling beaded jewelry or knockoff handbags should make an absolute killing.
Just as soon as you thought the latest Barack Obama controversy would die down a little bit, some enterprising young fellow with the ability to type decided it was worthy of its own Cafe Press gear. (You know: T-shirts, panties, coffee mugs, etc.)
Clearly, the only truly effective way to protest the re-racialization of American politics is the purchase of this “Typical White Person” tote bag. Its roomy interior can fit six months’ worth of irony.
Angelo Cataldi and his 610 morning team one-upped Booker’s Hillary Clinton get by scoring a call-in interview with Barack Obama this morning.
Although Cataldi didn’t ask him anything incendiary or challenging — “So, why should we elect you president?” “How are you handling the stress of campaigning?” — it was interesting to see just how Obama-centric WIP is. At the end of the interview, Cataldi gushed, “You have a lot of fans here, and if we can do anything to help, you let us know.” Obama thanked him but really gave no indication whatsoever that he had any idea whom he was talking to, addressing Cataldi as “sir” the whole time and kind of going through the motions of a radio interview as he’s probably done 4,000 times in the past 10 months.
Here’s an interesting little twist on NCAA from the fine folks at Inside Higher Ed. The site takes the field of 64 and does its own mock tournament based on the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate, which is apparently a new tool used to show “real-time performance of teams and colleges” that “gives teams points for the extent to which their athletes stay in good academic standing and remain enrolled from term to term.” Each school’s Graduation Success Rate is used as a tiebreaker.
Villanova went to the Elite 8 before getting bounced by eventual national champion, the calculator-toting juggernaut that is Davidson. St. Joe’s got past the first round, but got quickly bounced by Boise State’s farm-raised bookworms.
Then there’s Temple, which failed to make it out of the first round against the cerebral-monsters at Michigan State. We have a feeling Fran Dunphy’s team will make it a little deeper next time around.
This week’s not beginning well for cuddly hometown hero Will Smith. Just as everyone has finally forgotten about that whole Hitler fiasco, he’s been associated with that other 20th-century horror: Scientology.
Radar magazine’s April cover story suggests that both Smith and his wife, Jada, have been secretly courted by the church for years in an effort to bring in more African-American members. Some suggest that the Smiths are already knee-deep in it thanks to their cozy couple-friendship with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes; the Fresh Prince’s reps are already denying the story.
Also, it seems Smith’s Hollywood success did not impress hip-hop producer Dr. Dre very much. In a new memoir by a longtime Dre confidant, it is revealed that the former N.W.A. member may have indirectly referred to Smith by disrespectful term that rhymes with “ditch digga.”
A former aide to Jim McGreevey and his estranged wife is claiming that he engaged in sexual relations with both of them before McGreevey was elected governor. This claim flies in the face of the $600,000 lawsuit Dina Matos McGreevey has filed against her ex-husband, which claims she was defrauded by his sexuality. It’s tough to feel that defrauded if you willfully engaged in a kinky sexual activities with McGreevey and another man, though, isn’t it?
For a second, just ignore the amateurish Blogspot platform and focus on the philosophy behind the “Local Hotties” site as explained by one of its “founders,” Rob, a 26-year-old real estate agent from Holland, Pa: “The site really came about after I was drinking with a buddy and we started realizing that we miss a lot of opportunities to talk to girls. Either by drinking too much or just plain not saying hi to them. So I was explaining this to Kevin and we realized … who better to get advice from than the girls themselves?”
Oh, the joys of quasi-entrepreneurial internet voyeurism.
Last week, nosy NBC 10 reporter Lu Ann Cahn donned a skullcap and went undercover to enter the dark and nefarious world of a local rave called “God’s Basement,” exposing the not-so-shocking truth that some of its attendees are A) underage and B) “getting high.”
