Hmm. It appears that the movie My One and Only is now available on DVD at least at Target and from Blockbuster. Odd, since I just saw it on Veterans Day at the Spectrum Theatre and in fact it is STILL playing there once a day. The movie is about Anne Deveraux (Renée Zellweger) who, discovering her philandering husband, Dan (Kevin Bacon) in the act, decides to take her two sons, George (Logan...

After a tease earlier this week , Playgirl.com has posted 25 shots of Levi Johnston nude. So you can now pay $19.99 to see his butt. If you do, please describe it for us, 'cause with no full-frontal, that $19.99 buys less than we saw (unexpectedly!) of Kevin Bacon in Wild Things , and there's a recession on. [ Playgirl.com (NSFW) via Gawker ] Read more posts by Lindsay Robertson Filed Under: sex on...

So last week I went for a drink with some people I share a lab with. It was pretty cool, I enjoyed it, and got to know them a bit better - including some obscure "six degrees of Kevin Bacon" like bizarre acquaintance with one of the postdocs.Anyway, I had a little talk with a Medical student during that time regarding children and child-bearing. As in, in my future I don't see myself with...

In an unabashed attempt to cash in on two advocacy areas at the same time, UNFPA has just released a report linking climate change to HIV/AIDS. Whenever the global development agenda is dominated by “hot” issues, agencies and think-tanks have a direct incentive to play six-degrees-of-Kevin-Bacon and tie their work in directly with one of [...]

Call it "The Six Degrees of Nashville." Emmylou Harris' web of musical connections is so vast and intricate it shames even Kevin Bacon, whose eponymous "Six Degrees" game unites seemingly disparate Hollywood actors in six short steps.

This might be even more random than Kevin Bacon plugging vegan ice cream : Zach Braff shilling for Mermaid Oyster Bar on the PX 11 Morning News. Turns out Braff has known Mermaid chef Laurence Edelman since he was 13 and is an investor in the new restaurant. Watch as he serves up the obligatory double entendres (“I love to sizzle my garlic”) while Edelman prepares rock shrimp and crab...

Why Rumson, NJ has an extra $250,000 to throw around, we don't know. But what we do know is the Dad Vail has been raced on the Schuylkill River every year since 1953. Over those 50+ years it has become an integral part of Philly sports culture. To take it off the...

We haven't seen Chace Crawford on the party scene for months, and now we know why: Dude is training hard for his upcoming role in the Footloose reboot. Crawford took some time away from his training to spend a late night out at the Cinema Society screening of The Private Lives of Pippa Lee last night, which stars his Gossip Girl co-star Blake Lively. He was reticent at first, telling us that he's...

The readers' editor on … the familiar confusion between underestimate and overestimate Some sentences make you think twice. When Guiding Light, the world's longest-running soap opera, came to an end in September, a short piece in G2 solemnly declared: "Its role in US culture cannot be underplayed." Was the writer delivering, in the style of Dorothy Parker , a biting witticism about...
