Because NBC just knew you couldn't stand the wait any longer, "Celebrity Family Feud" is now going to debut a week earlier than originally scheduled. The Al Roker-hosted show will launch on Tuesday, June 24, 8-9pm, says BuddyTV. And just to sweeten the deal even more, Week 1 will herald the showdown of Ice-T versus [...]

And the quiz—which, I might add, stumped Stacy-Ann (third week in a row!)—is as follows:

Which actor from the Lower Hudson Valley appears in M. Night Shyamalan's new thriller "The Happening"?

A. Joseph Cross, of Pelham
B. Bill [...]

The Screen Actors Guild appears to be having a hard time luring any A-list celebs to join their potentially strike-inducing cause. But one of the few who was happy to lend their name to the cause is Justine Bateman. It's just one of the many causes the Rye native has adopted lately.

SAG's main goal is [...]

Earlier this month I was emailing with the good folks over at Platial—the map tagging and social networking site—about becoming a tester for their new iPhone Beta viewer. And while I didn't manage to make the cut for that, Platial's Tracey Rolling knew instantly who I was and was happy to inform me that Suburbarazzi's [...]

It appears that Rockland Lake State Park is one of the filming locations for the new Sarah Michelle Gellar flick, "Veronika Decides to Die." Thanks to my ever vigilant colleague, Karen Croke, who tracked down last Saturday's New York Post, which had a pic of the actress in a Starcraft boat out on the water.

You gotta feel for Vanessa Williams. And I'm not referring to the diss she got from the other Vanessa Williams (the one from "Melrose Place") in Essence Magazine. Nor am I talking about the indignity of hosting Sunday's 2008 TV Land Awards (dedicated to honoring such 1980s fare as "Roseanne" and "The Golden Girls") [...]

So, how do you calculate "the top 12 most powerful musicians of today"? Well, according to MuchMusic.com, it's a careful scientific formula based on album sales, clothing lines, fragrances, sold-out tours, charities, endorsement deals, and relevancy—whatever that means.

And based on their calculations, New Rochelle native P. Diddy—labeled "The Unstoppable Entrepreneur"—came in right at No. 4, [...]

A lot of Lower Hudson Valley celebrities have been rumored to be romantically involved with Cameron Diaz in recent months. Can you guess which [...]

Back in April we first heard about Westchester resident Ang Lee's latest film, "Taking Woodstock," a comedy about the part-time hotel manager who issued the permit for the famous concert.

It seemed like a no-brainer that the movie would be filmed somewhere in the Hudson Valley, either in Bethel, where the events in question took place, [...]

Having just finished a feature for the July/August issue of InTown titled "Extreme Car Makeover," I've still got the whole "pimp my ride" thing on the brain. Which is why I had to link to this story from the Customized Girl blog, breaking down the 25 most "stupid-awesome" cars driven by megacelebrities.

While none of our [...]

It's been a little over two weeks since Bonnie Fuller's abrupt departure from AMI and still no news on what her next move will be.

Today's Kieth Kelly column in the Post says that she was "trying to hook up with 3i, a global private-equity and venture-capital firm with more than $5.6 billion in assets," [...]

Speaking of Susan Sarandon, I just can't seem to get that image of her brand new back tattoos out of my head. Is it still a "tramp stamp" if it's on your upper back? What's the projected lifespan of a tat on a 61-year-old before it begins sagging? Will Tim Robbins get his own ink [...]
