To die by the hand of an enemy must be hard enough, but to be one of eight insurgents to reportedly lose lives at the expense of a bomb signed by Baba Booey? "Embarrassing," according to stand-up comedian and northern Westchester resident Nick Di Paolo.
While flipping through photographs of his recent USO trip to Afghanistan, [...]

Yesterday, I had the chance to interview one of my all-time favorite stand-up comedians, Nick Di Paolo.
The northern Westchester resident spent about a week with the USO touring with other regulars from Howard Stern's radio show: comedians Artie Lange, Dave Attell and Jim Florentine and producer Gary "Baba Booey" Dell'Abate. And just minutes after performing [...]

On the show this week: A former director and a stranded motorist—both from Larchmont—praise the late Heath Ledger, and a David Lee Roth impostor fools Canadian cops.
At the end of the video and after the break is the answer to this week's quiz: The twins of Brad Pitt and former Sneden's Landing resident Angelina Jolie [...]

Some things in life just make me smile. Beagle puppies. Deluxe cheeseburgers. Amy Adams. Anything Bunk says on "The Wire." And funny commercials.
But amusing ads inspire a wider grin when it combines a Yankees broadcaster (YES Network play-by-play man, Michael Kay), a rising comedy star (Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre icon Bobby Moynihan) and legit connections [...]

Bill Murray is gonna jump. And it's not because of those "Garfield" movies, either.
(Just kidding, Billy. You're still one of my all-time favorite actors. Truth.)
On behalf of the U.S.O. of Illinois, the Sneden's Landing resident and Second City native will be doing a tandem jump with the Golden Knights skydiving team at the Chicago Air [...]

This is precisely why journalists are taught to source their material.
On July 9, Suburbarazzi linked to a Toronto Sun story, one of many media outlets to report that Canadian police pulled over Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth because he was speeding and suffering from a peanut allergy.
Roth, through a statement, said Thursday that the [...]

Like pretty much everyone else in the country this weekend, I caught "The Dark Knight." Beyond the gripping action sequences, moody ambiance and stellar special effects, the haunting performance of the late Heath Ledger is what makes the movie a must-see.
True to the accounts I'd heard and read prior to seeing the movie, he disappears [...]

OK, so the former Bedford resident and her new-ish husband were at DisneyWorld on Tuesday and the mice were Mickey and Minnie. Headlines, people! Headlines!
Good to see Nick's ready to offer the Heimlich in case Mimi chokes on those ice cream bars with the Mickey ears on them.

Actress Kate Mara has it all: Stunning natural beauty. Legitimate movie career ("Shooter," the underrated "We Are Marshall" and the upcoming "Transsiberian," for examps). And, of course, a Lower Hudson Valley pedigree as a Bedford native and Fox Lane High School grad.
So I'm hoping she can use her high-profile powers of persuasion to convince her [...]

It's the new math.
Comeback kid Josh Hamilton of the Texas Rangers crushed 28 homers in the first round of last night's Home Run Derby at Yankee Stadium—20 more than any other player in that frame—but lost the doggone thing because the Minnesota Twins' Justin Morneau hit more in the third and final round.
Never mind that [...]

Big secret: I'm not big on celebrity baby news.
I know, I know. What kind of Suburbarazzo am I? Oh, that's right. A single dude without kids. So, there's that.
But before you complain about my indifference, consider all the hype leading up to the birth of twins in France by former Sneden's Landing resident Angelina Jolie [...]
