Pull(ed) Quote

Had my first (freelance) byline in the famed New York Post today, about Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand cleaning up on The Hill's 50 most beautiful list. Sadly, I wasn't able to include the hilarious Ben Widdicombe's take on the whole thing:

"Given that they say politics is show business for ugly people, a 50 Most Besutiful List for DC is a little like handing out prizes for the tallest gnome. Still, it's impossible not to be proud of our gun-lovin' junior senator snagging the third spot (even if we suspect that if Caroline Kennedy had gotten the seat, she would have come at least second)."

Why is the ridiculousness of "don't ask, don't tell" so painfully obvious to everyone except anyone who can get anything done about it?

Robby Ginepri: Grin and Bear It

Robby Ginepri hasn't had a lot of luck winning two matches a row this year -- he lost to Rainer Schuettler yesterday in Los Angeles, 6-3, 3-6, 6-4. But even so, I still can't get enough of his scruffy cuteness.

Passive Aggressive

Is This Completely Necessary?

It's bad enough Russell Brand is ruining a classic movie like "Arthur," but now we've got to look him parading around in his panties? If only he were caught between the moon and New York City ...

Thursday Ad Watch

Michael stumbled upon this old Equinox advertisement (framed!) on the sidewalk last night on West 21st Street. Not sure what the details are, but it kinda reminded me of those sexy Chris Evans photos from a few years ago.

'Rush' to Judgment

Joseph Gordon-Levitt, aka "that kid from '(500) Days of Summer" -- the only thing I've ever seen him in -- was spotted yesterday filming his latest movie, "Premium Rush," about a bike messenger who picks up a package at Columbia University and subsequently catches the attention of a dirty cop. He's cute, but that sounds like the worst movie ever.

The $102 Million Dollar Man

I have no idea if Russian hockey player Ilya Kovalchuk is worth his historic -- and now disputed -- 17-year, $102 million contract the New Jersey Devils. But I certainly wouldn't mind taking a crack at his stick.

Sunglasses (To Hide Behind)

The 2002 model, left, vs. the 2010

I want to send out a huge thank you to MAUI JIM, who read about my Lasik surgery online a couple weeks ago and kindly offered to outfit me in a new pair of sunglasses -- my first new pair since getting some throwaways at the Beverly Center back in late 2001 when I was still wearing contact lenses!

After seriously considering some aviators, I ended up picking the snazzy new ATOLL (in light brown with bronze lenses). I was told that "Maui Jim is like Xanax for the eyes" and I can't say I disagree. Even better, ever since I got my new shades I've had that fab old Tracey Ullman song "Sunglasses" stuck in my head, only now I don't have to be jealous that I can't wear a pair too!

Where Are They Now? Matt Moline Edition

Just wanted to give a shoutout to Matt Moline -- aka Kathy Griffin's former hubby -- to congratulate him on his recent graduation from Columbia University! He received his Bachelor of Arts degree with cum laude honors -- and although he's poking fun at himself for completing this task "22 years and two months later," I for one am duly impressed. Way to go, Matt!
