I love watching Regis & Kelly. It’s sort of like an out of body experience where I get to see what a conversation between my grandma and myself would look like. Anyways, while I dressed for work the other day, I heard Kelly discussing the latest permanent addition to her skin. Kelly had just got [...]

For some reason, I’ve had a difficult time capturing what I thought of The Boys are Back. It was a subtly emotional film, and for one that centered around the death of a mother, not your standard Hollywood fare. The film, which is based on Simon Carr’s 2001 memoir of the same name, stars Clive [...]

I have been holding off all day to write something about September 11th. It’s one of those things, as a New Yorker that is difficult to move past and yet even more of an obstacle to delve into. I have read some truly amazing and personal pieces online today from news sources and Tumblr [...]

Summers used to be spent drunk on the streets of NYC with friends stirring up trouble. Since I am now officially old, they are spent on my couch, in A/C, watching horrific reality TV. Sad, yes, but unfortunately true. Anyways, this reality TV induced coma I battle through can explain my recent appreciation [...]

The following story is one of a personal nature to me and does not involve any funny celebrity quotes nor casting news. A few years back in my neighborhood, a woman was raped on a subway platform. While waiting for a G train, which are notoriously late and slow especially late night, the [...]

So it’s been brewing for a bit, and believe me I have been fighting it with all my energy, but I think I am beginning to seriously fall for Zac Efron. Zac has seemingly been working over time to get into my good graces and after seeing the commercials for his upcoming film [...]

If you do one thing this weekend, head to the movies to check out “Adventureland”. While some of the trailers might make you think this is going to be another raucous teen comedy, much like Greg Mottola’s previous directorial effort “Superbad”, this couldn’t be further from the truth. I was able to catch [...]

Not to sound like a fan girl, but “Adventureland” was nearly pitch perfect in my eyes. As a Long Island girl who grew up in the 80’s, there couldn’t have been a more perfect resemblance of the place I spent many a summer night with friends and family when there was nothing else to [...]

Here we go. I have had reservations on getting into this topic here on Spielster. I discussed it briefly after The Grammys because it was way too big of a story to just let slip by. Personally, the heaviness and reality of this story is one that can no longer be skirted [...]

A picture has never made me happier. Today, as history is being made in Washington, D.C. we are finally able to say goodbye to the Bush family! To reuse a pun that I have heard nearly every day this past weekend, “Here’s to the END of an ERROR!”
Can’t say I am [...]
