Can stop, will stop: Gas prices ground Diddy’s private jet

August
30

Diddy Force One is grounded indefinitely, thanks to gas prices that are putting even the blingiest of celebs on notice.

Sean “Diddy” Combs isn’t feelin’ the quarter-million-dollar round trips he’d been making on his private jet. So he opted instead to be Something Special in the Air, flying American Airlines with the people. Quoth the Diddy:
“Gas [...]

Chevy Chase backs buddy Bill Clinton at DNC

August
28

While watching the Democratic National Convention last night—because, let’s face it, the Yankees are done—I spotted Bedford resident Chevy Chase in the stands. As seen in this photo, he was there cheering on Chappaqua resident Bill Clinton and waving the American flag during his speech.

Unlike most fairweather celebs who every few years show fleeting support [...]

At The Movies with Aman and Chris: Denzel Washington’s rant inspires Russell Crowe conversation

August
26

Even at the end of a long work day, we Suburbarazzi talk about things. Y’know, everyday stuff. Socioeconomic development in Uganda. Fluffy bunnies. And movies, I guess.

So when I asked my fellow Suburbarazzo via Facebook chat tonight about today’s appearance by Denzel Washington in Mount Vernon, it segued into a discussion about former Nyack dweller, [...]

Wanna be on national TV? It helps if you’re from Westchester. Just ask Kara DioGuardi and Bobby Moynihan.

August
25

August has been a good month for Westchester natives who seek a national network TV audience.

Today it was announced that Kara DioGuardi, who grew up in New Rochelle, was named the unprecedented fourth judge on “American Idol.”

I spoke this afternoon with her proud papa, Joe DioGuardi, an Ossining resident and former U.S. Congressman. He told [...]

No, YOU’RE fired: Ed McMahon nixes Donald Trump’s offer to buy McMahon-sion

August
23

I can’t say I’m surprised Donald Trump was yet again speaking too soon and with too much self-assurance, but still.

Despite previous reports to the contrary (sorry!), Ed McMahon agreed to sell his house to a private buyer but reportedly not to the Westchester real estate maven, who said he was in talks to buy the [...]

Dave Matthews’ saxophonist dies from ATV accident complications

August
20

From bands that have been popular in my lifetime, there may be about three rock saxophonists I can name off the top of my head. Clarence Clemmons (Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band), Kirk Pengilly (the hugely underrated INXS) and LeRoi Moore (Dave Matthews Band). In part, their names stick out not only because they’ve been [...]

If DMX and Lucky Me met in jail, what would happen?

August
18

DMX is slated to remain in jail through his court date in October—the same month when fellow LoHud rapper Lucky Me is expected to be sentenced.

This begs the question: If the Yonkers-raised, Bedford-dwelling Ruff Ryder and the Central Nyack icon met behind bars, would the encounter more likely spawn a triple-platinum collaboration or rap’s best [...]

Confirmed: Laurence Fishburne joins ‘CSI’ cast

August
18

The rumor is now true. New Rochelle’s Laurence Fishburne will be joining the cast of the original “CSI” in the upcoming season’s ninth episode.

Despite Aman Ali’s reservations about “having Morpheus on the show,” I think my fellow Suburbarazzo is focusing on the wrong Fishburne character. What the CBS melodrama could use is a little more [...]

Un-Bill-leap-able! AP posts video of Bill Murray’s skydive

August
18

If Suburbarazzi’s photo album of Bill Murray’s skydive Friday afternoon didn’t have enough frames or sound for your liking, click here for the Associated Press’ two-minute YouTube video of the Sneden’s Landing resident’s leap over Chicago.

Just before his jump, two-and-a-half miles above his native city, Murray was asked by a videographer if things could [...]

Un-Bill-leap-able! First photos of Bill Murray’s Chicago skydiving adventure

August
15

Bill Murray flew into Chicago today. And, boy, is his tandem parachute partner tired.

With Army Staff Sgt. Joe Jones of the Golden Knights skydiving team strapped to his back, the Sneden’s Landing resident found a safe landing on North Avenue beach in the Windy City just after 4 p.m. EST today at the Chicago Air [...]
