Oh yeah, that’s right. I got my big interview with Bruce Springsteen. Okay. It wasn’t big. I snuck in one quick question. And he answered it. But it was very exciting none-the-less. He, along with Tony Bennett (totally different outfit than Bruce’s) and slew of stars, came out for the premiere of “Lilyhammer” a Netflix Original Series.
Champagne and popcorn, classic combination, were served pre-screening and crab cakes and… Continue reading
I’m a ghostwriter so I’m asked often how one goes about putting a book together. If it’s a memoir and your name isn’t Snooki, you might have to write the entire book in order to shop it. With fiction, you have to write the entire book. But for non-fiction, generally speaking, you have to write a solid proposal. From there, you have to find an agent who likes it… Continue reading
I haven’t stepped foot in a library in, well…I’m going to say a decade, but I think it has been longer than that. Today, in between meetings and deadlines, however, I was in need of some wifi – stat. As I bolted up and down the streets looking for a not-so-crazy-crowded Starbucks I spotted the New York Public Library near Bryant Park. Not the giant, beautiful building on Fifth, but… Continue reading
So, I’ve come to accept that I live on a street that is constantly full of litter. I watch in horror people who throw Coke cans or empty coffee cups on the street as they walk by. In the morning, if it’s pre-super- sweeping-time, the street is littered with the remnants of last night’s dinners – boxes, containers, napkins, chicken bones, empties, melted ice creams (reserved for my stoop it… Continue reading
When I lived in London, pre-DVR days, pre-online viewing options, I had someone taping – on VHS tapes – Sopranos, Sex and The City and Law and Order. They used to ship them en masse to me there from the states and I’d dedicate a full day to watching back to back episodes of one particular show. It was my own personal marathon. I loved and still love watching TV… Continue reading
As a self-diagnosed TV junkie, I admit, most Mays are spent sitting in front of the tube nightly. Social life be damned, I usually need to watch my shows and see how they wrap up as the networks bring their seasons to a close. We can’t say tube anymore can we…in front of the…uh..screen. Anyway…with so many season finales and series finales, May is usually filled with suspense, anticipation of… Continue reading
Actually, let me back up a bit. I shouldn’t have bought the Pop Chips. They are simply too good to resist. I’ve got no clue what they’re made of, “chemicals” as my dad would say, but whatever is in them, they are fab. Staring them down unopened is one thing. A challenge, but easier. Now that I’ve opened them, I’ve basically doubled my intrigue for what’s inside the bag… Continue reading
As an objective observer, I’m not supposed to have a favorite while covering my yes-I-take-it-seriously beat American Idol for WSJ. But I do/did. I had a not-so-secret-crush on Paul McDonald. His raspy voice and cute and perfect smile. Good thing he’s the oldest of the crowd this season or I guess it would be extra weird. I interviewed him yesterday and well, there will be no KutcherMoore match-up here because… Continue reading
Hey Skinny Set – This is the guide book for you. It’s 500 calorie dinner picks (and some lunch) at 100 NYC hotspots. We went hood to hood, cuisine by cuisine…developing a little booklet to tell you what you should order. Tough job, but someone had to do it.
It hits the shelves in December 2011. It’s… Continue reading
If you’re reading this posting, you must be facing the same issue I am. You’re procrastinating. You’re looking for something to do other than the stuff you really should be doing. You’ve already cruised Gilt.com for sales, watched all your DVR’d shows, filled in the blanks on your upcoming week’s calendar so that you don’t procrastinate this week, checked Facebook and Twitter and your LinkedIn profile (yup..its still there.)… Continue reading
