15

Raise your hand if you’re an Oscar nominee who’s skydived for our collective amusement. (Put your hand down, Judi Dench.)

Shortly after 4 p.m. EST today, Sneden’s Landing resident Bill Murray hopes to add his name to that very short list.

Working with the U.S.O. of Illinois, the Second City native will be doing a tandem jump [...]

Yes! Ed McMahon-sion to be paid off by Donald Trump

August
15

It’s like Ed McMahon won his own Publisher’s Clearing House contest.

To borrow his legalese from those old commercials, it appears the former talk-show sidekick “may already have won” freedom from immediate worry stemming from the foreclosure of his Beverly Hills mansion, thanks to Donald Trump.

Although the details were still being worked out, the Westchester real [...]

James Blake upsets bland razor spokesman at Olympics

August
14

Yonkers native James Blake needed only two sets to upset Swiss phenom Roger Federer in Olympic tennis earlier today.

It’s his first time beating Federer—the No. 1 player in the world—in nine tries.

Federer, who hocks five-bladed razors with fellow clean-shaven sports celebs Tiger Woods and Derek Jeter, is one of the world’s best athletes about whom [...]

The secret to surviving ‘I Want to Work for Diddy’? Be an embarrassment.

August
11

OK, I’ll fess up to this: I only saw the last few minutes of last night’s rerun of the premiere of “I Want to Work for Diddy,” the new Vh1 reality show in which contestants compete for the privilege of being Sean “Diddy” Combs’ personal assistant.

But even with eight minutes’ worth of data, I can [...]

Ralph Lauren designs USA’s attire for Olympics’ Opening Ceremonies

August
7

“Project Runway” is educational!

Sometime between watching Tim Gunn’s brave attempts to deliver the phrase “Holla atcha boy” and trying to determine if Bettie Page-lookalike Kenley Collins is really a villain or just a hot girl being made out to be one, I learned last night that Bedford resident Ralph Lauren is designing the Americans’ outfits [...]

LoHud rocks: Elliott Yamin to headline Playland, The B-52s open for what’s (allegedly) The Police’s final show

August
6

As I reported for sister-blog Remote Access late last night, Elliott Yamin—the super-likable “American Idol” underdog alumnus—will be headlining a concert at Playland in Rye tomorrow night.

Perhaps Yamin, who finished third ahead of superstar Chris Daughtry and just behind winner Taylor Hicks and runner-up Katharine McPhee, is headed to the Lower Hudson Valley in attempt [...]

‘Razzi Rundown: Where alliteration lives, puns are fun and timeliness is optional

August

Disclaimer: I’m an avid reader of BestWeekEver.tv, one of my favorite non-LoHud blogs out there these days. So if this quick-hitter format and source material looks familiar, it is, and I’m coming clean with that up-front. Plagiarism kills, kids!

Quake shakes up set of ‘Judge Judy’

July
30

Judge Judy Sheindlin—and her set—were all shook up during yesterday’s magnitude 5.4 earthquake impacted Los Angeles and its surrounding areas.

Check out the footage via this CNN link. I kept expected the feisty Sheindlin to quip something like, “Don’t throw a banana peel at my feet and tell me it’s an earthquake,” but she apparently cleared [...]
