I'd been looking forward to going to The Ted and Amy Supper Club , as in Ted Allen from Queer Eye , and Amy Sedaris from Strangers with Candy . But its not their supper club, its Kara's super club in ode to them, which is so hilarious. I figured the Halloween Dinner, with the scariest menu I have ever seen would be a perfect. I came in costume, which can be a little weird when meeting people for the...
I'm at a stage in my life where dressing up and hitting several Halloween parties is but a mere memory; Halloween now means trick or treating with my kids, greeting about a hundred princesses, goblins, and caped crusaders at my door, and then overdosing on bite-sized Snickers, which I quietly purloin from the boys' sweet haul. This Halloween, however, we will be at Disney World, as I've been invited...

Don't ask me why, but I watched Dance Flick last weekend. The latest edition a seemingly never-ending series of spoof movies made by the Wayans Brothers. Dance Flick takes its aim at, well, dance flicks and is directed by a Wayans family member that I had never heard of before. As it turns out there are a whole lot of Wayans involved here that I had never heard of before. Watching Dance Flick is an...
Google's bot crawlers apparently think I'm a porn site or something and killed the ability of writers, visual artists and others to find information on my blog through Google. This is the much milder form of the Soviet gulag, I suppose. I don't think I'll be writing a Solzhenitsyn-heavy novel about the experience. But who knows. Pain sensation varies greatly from person to person. One man's athlete's...
FRIDAY (DAY OFF) When I asked my adorable niece what kind of cake I should make for her mama’s birthday she answered “chocolate with chocolate frosting.” I showed her this picture (thank you Amy Sedaris) and she approved. I’m not a fan of trying a new recipe for a birthday, but what the hell it’s been a [...]
Daily Intelligencer - New York Magazine (Free subscription) | 10/09/2009
Last April, New York published a special Arrivals issue, in which notable New Yorkers like Cindy Sherman, David Dinkins, Amy Sedaris, Keith Hernandez, and others reminisced about their first few days in the city . It was fun, which is why we're now expanding it into a book. That's where you come in. We're looking for nonfiction, first-person stories from brand-new New Yorkers about their lives since...
Okay, this is kind of awesome. Second City has posted an excerpt of “Talkin’ ‘Bout The Balkans” featuring Fran Adams, Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, Paul Dinello, David Razowsky, Ruth Rudnick and Amy Sedaris on its website (”Celebrating 50 Years of Funny”)! The video quality isn’t great, the audio is muddy, and the camera [...]
Esquire has named Kate Beckinsale "The sexiest woman alive." Granted that she's a MiLF, she's still never really "rung my bell" all that hard. So you know what's next... Women Who Are Sexier Than Kate Beckinsale : anna faris Originally uploaded by indoloony Lauren Graham; Rosamund Pike: Megan MullallyBebe Neuwirth These unknown young women, their names are Megan Aniston and Jennifer...
Okay, do we have to talk about this David Letterman thing? Okay, I guess we do? I really don't want to because Mr. Letterman is like an imaginary father to me. For those of you too busy searching the internet for screencaps of nude Big Brother contestants to keep up on your current events, here's the basic rundown: David Letterman is a hopeless lothario who sleeps with all his female staffers. Everyone...
Filed under: News , Celebrity , Entertainment , Video Last night, watching an incredibly unfunny episode of "Glee," it was hard not to notice Amy Sedaris in a commercial for the new Sony Reader. After all, she's only, like, the funniest person ever. Amy Sedaris, in case you don't remember, is the ... Read more Read | Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
Last night's Glee featured the Tony and Emmy Award-winning Kristin Chenoweth as April Rhodes, who reminded me a lot of Jerri Blank (Amy Sedaris' character from Strangers with Candy ). Both are boozers, users and losers who return to high school at an advanced age. The only differences are that April is much prettier and can sing the hell out of a song. Now don't get me wrong, this is not a criticism....
Can Kristin Chenoweth be on Glee every week? Pretty please? Last night's episode of Glee ("The Rhodes Not Taken"), written by Ian Brennan and directed by John Scott, saw the diminutive former Pushing Daisies star guest star as former high school singing sensation April Rhodes, a woman now reduced to squatting in a bank-owned home and working her way through a box of wine on her lonesome....
