If the rumor mill is to be believed (and in this case, I hope it is!), Kanye West & Jay Z will release Watch The Throne on July 4th. It has the potential to be epic – but at the very least, it will be something to talk about. It’s not, however, something new. Kanye has made a habit of working with different artists; some likely (see: Jay Z, Kid Cudi & Nicki Minaj) and some… not as likely. Let’s take a look at the best of the more unlikely Kanye collaborations (with artists outside of the world of hip-hop). Maybe ‘Ye will take the hint & become inspired by his past work with these artists enough to create whole albums with them. A girl can dream, right? Continue reading

A new season of Celebrity Rehab premiered on Sunday night featuring the likes of Michael Lohan and Bai Ling. Train wreck, right? Probably, but with the return of Steven Adler, one of the more relatable and heartbreaking cast members to appear on the show, it shows some promise too. Those extremes of the fame whores you love to hate vs the fallen celebrity you feel sorry for are what keep me coming back for more.
I’m not sure if it’s hormones (yes, boys, they’re not a myth!) or stress or maybe a divine enlightenment of sorts, but lately I’ve been more in tune with just how obnoxious citizens of this Earth are. In fact, the other night (while sipping on a big glass of red wine, natch) I was having a conversation with a friend when this topic came up. I was tired, a wee bit drunk and I needed to vent. I was getting very riled up and I remember my friend telling me to slow down because I was talking a mile a minute. I took a deep breath and that’s when the words slipped out of my mouth: “I swear, I like my pets so much more than people!”
I was dead serious …. and here’s why: Continue reading
Have political-sex-scandals always been this much fun, or is there just something about a Weiner joke in 140 characters or less? I’m going with the latter and I have a feeling you will too.
We all remember how it started – the simple, almost-scandalous-but-not-really tweet seen ’round the world. That, my friends, was just the beginning. Since the original tweet, Twitter has been all … a-twitter on the issue.
Stephen Colbert wanted to get in on the fun so much, he tweeted his butt cheeks! Continue reading
Sarah’s Magical Bus Tour continued today and, man, did she out do herself.
Today’s stop: New England! Home of the elitest of all the elites! And of course, those tricky Northerners asked her another trick question.
Just who is Paul Revere? Betcha haven’t heard his story quite like this before … Continue reading
It’s that time of year again, summer is officially (according to the unofficial calendar) upon us.
Can you sense my excitement? No? Have a seat, let me explain.
I grew up in, and currently live in a beach resort – America’s Favorite Family Resort, to be exact. It’s a small island where 9 months out of the year the population hovers around 15,300. The streets are quiet, the stores and restaurants (the few that remain open, anyway) are easily accessible (no wait times!) and you rarely hear a police or fire siren. The population trends older (or at least if feels that way) and sometimes, when the wind blows just right, I swear I’m living on the set of Gilmore Girls … just a little more Jersey-er. As boring as it can be – I have grown to really appreciate and enjoy it; and by the time the last weekend of May passes, I’m clinging to those “happy thoughts” with every fiber of my being.

On March 28th, my world changed forever. Four weeks after a car accident that left her in a coma, my Grandmother took her last breath (with the help of a ventilator) and went into the most peaceful sleep anyone could imagine. Or that’s how I think of it, anyway.
The events that led up to that moment are unchangeable. A woman drove through a stop sign going 40 mph and slammed into the side of a car that was driven by my Aunt. Her sister was in the passenger seat, while their mother and youngest sister sat in the back seat. They were driving my Grandmother to a doctor’s appointment. After the initial hit, the car driven by my Aunt flipped several times before landing on the roof. The police were called, ambulances came, the jaws of life were used and everyone was brought to the hospital alive. Continue reading
