One of Scarsdale’s newest residents told People magazine she’s “definitely” going to be there already because “I want to be there to witness it.”
She was asked about performing and she said, “Of course I’d love to. Who wouldn’t?”
Beyonce also discussed the fun she had last weekend performing a sketch with Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg on Saturday Night Live.
Speaking of Beyonce, she’ll appear in the upcoming movie Cadillac Records with Adrien Brody, Jeffrey Wright and Mos Def. The movie is already getting Oscar buzz and I got word they’re auctioning off tickets to the premiere here.

Eastchester native Bobby Moynihan got one of his first true spotlights on Saturday Night Live over the weekend with a hilarious impression of the cartoon character Snagglepuss. The fruity feline discussed his opposition to California’s gay marriage ban
Tim Robbins tried performing his civic duty by voting last week, when he was told at his polling location that his name was not on the list.
“I had been voting there for years,” he told the Associated Press. “I have not moved, I have not changed party affiliations. There’s no reason why it shouldn’t be in the rolls. So I was given a paper ballot and filled it out, but I wanted my vote to be registered there — and I don’t trust paper ballots.”
So then, he asked to talk to someone at the Board of Elections and refused to leave until someone from the board came down to the polling place.
Go Tim!
Robbins was offered a paper ballot but he refused because “oftentimes those things get lost or thrown away.”
After hours of waiting, Robbins was told to go the Board of Elections office in downtown Manhattan to verify his voter registration.
A judge then issued a court order allowing him to vote, so Robbins went back to his original polling place and was allowed to cast his ballo
“This is just one example of how difficult it is to vote in the United States,” he said.
Wow, he fought for hours for his right to vote. And here I am throwing a hissy fit every time my Taco Bell order takes more than 3 minutes to make.
Right when I thought Beyonce couldn’t possibly be any hotter, I find out she plays Xbox 360.
The new Scarsdale resident apparently refused to fly to Monaco to the World Music Awards unless the organizers met her demands. According to a source, the demands were, a private jet with “14 seats, including two for herself. And staff were told to give her whatever she wanted – including an Xbox, PSP, Jacuzzi and a pizza.”
A jet with a jacuzzi in it? Spoken like a true diva.

Ok, so maybe you don’t. But in case you do, Mariah Carey shelled out some juicy details to the Mirror about her current marriage to actor Nick Cannon. The former Bedford resident explains how the two fell in love and why she made Nick Cannon wait until their wedding night to have sex.
The story mentions the two have tattooed the names of each other on their bodies. Hopefully Nick still has some leftoever Nickolodeon money to afford the skin surgery in a few months.
Ok fine, I’ll play nice today and leave the two alone. But check out the interview here.
“The second you sit in the chair, everything you know goes out of your head,” she said. “It’s one thing when you are sitting at home in your kitchen when you’re not losing anything, and another when you are trying to think (on the hot seat). It’s a lot harder to get your concentration. There’s the pressure, the music and flashing lights and there’s a special way you have to sit in the chair so you don’t fall over.”
Pretty interesting way to describe it. See how she does, Monday at 12:30 p.m. on ABC.
If you thought Hillary Clinton was the only chance of seeing a Westchester resident working in the White House, think again.
Now that Barack Obama won the presidential election this week, his aides are strongly encouraging him to bring in high profile figures into his cabinet. One of the people being considered for head of the Environmental Protection Agency is none other than Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who lives in Bedford.
RFK Jr. is a high profile environmental lawyer that has taken on big companies and governments in efforts to clean up the Hudson River and Long Island Sound.
He won’t be the only one in the White House with Westchester ties. Obama has already expressed giving his chief of staff position to Rep. Rahm Emanuel, a Chicago politician who did his undergrad at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville.
Emanuel is a pitbull politician that is not afraid to cuss up a storm (as I learned the hard way while working as a Capitol Hill reporter in Washington DC). But many people don’t know this, Emanuel was a ballet dancer as a child and turned down an invitation to join the Joffrey Ballet to study dance at Sarah Lawrence (hahaha!).
“It was a great liberal-arts school, and there were four women for every guy,” Emanuel told the Rolling Stone in 2005. “I was eighteen, so I’m allowed to think like that.”
During the first episode this season with Michael Phelps, Moynihan had his first break-out sketch about an overzealous pizza waiter, a character he formed during his days of being a bartender at Uno’s in Yonkers.
Most importantly, Moynihan talks about rubbing shoulders with the likes of Bill Murray and Sarah Palin, and most importantly, what it was like to spank Anne Hathaway (hay chihuahua).
Many of you still may not understand my obsession with Diddy. Hopefully his interview with the AP today will change that.
After voting for Barack Obama today, Diddy exclaimed “I felt like my vote was the vote that put him into office. It was down to one vote, and that was going to be my vote.”
Still not convinced? Read what he said next:
“I’m not trying to be dramatic, but I just felt like, Martin Luther King, and I felt the whole civil rights movement, I felt all that energy.”
This little tidbit isn’t exactly “new” by any means, but it sure is interesting.
Planet of the Apes (not to be confused with the lame 2001 remake) has Charleton Heston running around in the future in a monkey-run New York City.
Well according to this writer, the scene at the end where two Chimp doctors hold up a map to Heston, Heston points to the shore that he arrived at. One of the doctor’s responds by calling it the “forbidden zone.”
Well if you look closely at this map, the forbidden zone is none other than the Larchmont Harbor. Score!
Now you have something to chat about at your next party.
The suburbs are full of A-list (and plenty of B-, C-, and D-list) celebrities. Consider this a loving tribute to the beautiful, the wealthy, the talented, and the Baldwin of the Lower Hudson Valley.
