"He" being Mick Jagger. So it's kinda like the love/hate (but mostly hate, on a personal level) Lennon-McCartney relationship. Cute.

Evidently Halloween came early this year when Lady Gaga joined Yoko Ono on stage for a performance at L.A.'s Orpheum Theatre on Saturday. Yoko dressed up as the missing sailor member of the Village People, while Gaga--never one to embrace convention when it comes to style--wore a sheer bedazzled jumpsuit that exposed her ass, naturally. It was like a Bob Mackie wet dream. More»

New York is often called the Capital of the World. But for all its gravitational pull, NYC loses some of its brightest lights to ostensibly lesser cities (even Boston). Let's look at notable members of the New Yorker diaspora, and where they landed. More»

New York inspires reinvention. But sometimes a man falls for New York and leaves as big a mark on the city as the city left on him. John Lennon was one of those men. And Michael Epstein's LennonNYC, playing at the NYFF, is a documentary about the artist and city's sadly truncated love affair. More»

The very commercial Shrek: Forever After opened the Tribeca Film Festival. But programmers didn't forget scrappier movies, including several about the artsy downtown scene. Visionaries, featuring Andy Warhol, Norman Mailer, David Lynch More»

[Bette Midler, Jann Wenner, and Yoko Ono. Photos by JIMI CELESTE for PMc] Last night, John Lennon's friends celebrated the life, music, and art of the late Beatle at the opening of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Annex NYC's "John Lennon: The New York City Years" exhibit. The show, created by Yoko Ono and curated by Jim Henke, boasted a guest list of musicians, journalists, and artists, including Bette Midler, Jann Wenner, and Bing Bang designer Anna Sheffield.

As I will be gone in PA for the wedding of New York City Ballet's Principal Ballerina Abi Stafford, I decided to come enjoy my house just for Thursday night. Since I hadn't been to Nick & Toni's in awhile, I found myself craving their famous roast chicken and zucchini chips! The service was particularly bad which was very out of character, and it wasn't long before I realized why! All attention was being paid to one large table where sat Gwyneth Paltrow and her friends! And a friend informed me that she graced The Laundry with her mother the night before...

No surprise... This weekend Miss Paltrow with friends Madonna and Steven Klein and Detail's magazine from 8-11 on August 9th will be hosting a benefit for Amaryllis Equine rescue at Steven's estate. The tickets are a pricey $500 however, so I hope you've been saving up!

Ben and Jerry's hits us with yet another clever pun as they prepare to introduce their new flavor that honors John Lennon. Hmm. Anyway. The new flavor "Imagine Whirled Peace" (get it?), hopefully out in time for summer, will be a caramel and sweet cream whirl with toffee and chocolate-covered peace signs. How cute! (Of course, will anyone notice they're peace signs when they're covered in ice cream? I usually don't care that the chocolate in my Phish Food is shaped like fish, mostly because that's a little weird to me.)
