I’m a little embarrassed to admit this, but I’ve been checking out Rosie’s video blogs, which she records right before taping The View, and I can’t get enough of her quirky stylist Helene. Ok, so that’s not Helene with Rosie—it’s Boy George—but how could I resist posting a picture like that? You can see Helene [...]

TV Guide cover boy Justin Chambers (a former Rocklander) told the magazine all about his brooding character on Grey’s Anatomy and about his every-man existence in real life (fun fact: his childhood nickname was “Juddybird�).
But, for the moment, let’s focus on his tats. That’s right, the 36-year-old former model has seven—count them—seven different marks. As [...]

Happy Birthday. From the folks who know you best (Chris, Danielle, Ted, Robert, and Erica)…

After the jump, check out our birthday greetings to Rosie.

Forty-five years ago, on this—the 21st day of March—a tiny star ignited in the magical kingdom of Queens. And this star was called, according to wikipedia.org, Roseann Teresa O’Donnell. Roseann drifted and flickered and faded poignantly, as sad celestial vagrants do until, 44 years later, a dazzling galaxy named Suburbarazzi emerged from the blogosphere and [...]

She turned 44 Sunday and looks damn good. How do I know? Because she’s going to be in Intown Westchester Magazine. No spoilers here, though. To see the pics and read the interview, get your hands on a copy of our May issue, which pubs April 26.

Butt been a bit droopy lately? Don’t worry, for a single payment of $2,300 you too can have a bottom as bouncy as Bill’s. Just slip into some sexy spandex and meet him at Manhattan’s SoulCycle Thursday night, where he’ll be speaking to a spinning class about the importance of affordable health care and—of course—raising [...]

My collegue Jeanne Muchnick just got word that Jimmy’s Great American Pancakes (925 Saw Mill River Rd.; Ardsley) may either be closing its doors or getting bought out. The retro diner, opened by Mitty Carpenito and my favorite 107.1 The Peak DJ Jimmy Fink, barely made it to its half birthday. Although I’m sad to [...]
