What were you doing when we called? Eating lunch at Five Guys. They have a vegetarian option that I sometimes crave. Hardly starving: In his art Patrick Costello reflects nature’s bounty, including everything from free standing structures to canned foods (pictured). What are you working on right now? I’ve just started drawing a positive […]

After playing with fighter jets, race cars, submarines and subway trains in Top Gun, Days of Thunder, Crimson Tide and The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, respectively, director Tony Scott isn’t done hurling around huge, deadly vehicles. In Scott’s new action thriller Unstoppable, Denzel Washington, Chris Pine and Rosario Dawson contend with a combustible […]
“American Music Awards” Sunday 8pm, ABC You know who doesn’t get enough recognition? The pop stars, rockers, country crooners and rappers who make millions of dollars per year releasing chart-topping singles and albums. Well God bless Dick Clark for making sure these unsung heroes get yet more attention by creating this totally bullshit awards ceremony. […]
What are you working on right now? I’m trying to get some songs together for our next album. I’ve got something written and ready to go, and there are a couple of things that need a little fine tuning. There’s one tune in particular that I’ve been working on for over a year now. Actually, […]
What are you working on right now? I’m mainly working on my garden a lot, planting fall crops. I’m still doing a few house calls to do portraits. Portraits are the main thing I do, artistically, portraits from life, but I’m sort of taking a break. I was painting on the Downtown Mall, but now […]
The season of serious films is upon us. It’s time again for the earnest, honorable pictures that like to quiet the room, just when you’re in a good conversational groove, to say, “Ladies and gentlemen, may we have your attention, please?” Which means, “May we have your award consideration, please?” Zach Falifianakis (right) takes another […]

The major issue with the first season was host/judge Kelly Rowland, who, while very fashionable, had zero business judging a fashion competition, […]
I went to a boarding school in New England, much like the one in Never Let Me Go, but whose mascot was the pelican. The pelican, while not exactly an intimidator on the sports field, is a perversely charitable bird known to feed its offspring with its own blood when no food is available. That […]
“Kathy Griffin: Whores on Crutches” Tuesday 10pm, Bravo I have argued in these very pages that comedian Kathy Griffin isn’t actually all that funny. What makes her awesome is that she’s a normal person who clawed her way into the bizarre bubble that is Hollywood, and she delights in reporting back to us with all […]
