Nealon at the comedy altar: SNL vet filming special in Colorado
No need for sneaky messages from Subliminal Man to convince me that Kevin Nealon is one of the funniest dudes out there. With his honed wit and trademark dry, straight delivery, Nealon has made a name for himself as an understated observational comic who still comes off as the nice guy you’d want as your...
Sundance Spy: The End
Sadly, time at Sundance flies fast and I crammed as much as possible into the last 36 hours of my festival. Many of the stars fled to their Hollywood habitats by Monday and the glitz factor on Main Street returned to a semi-normal level. The A-list exodus lets the diehard cinephiles do more of what...
Sundance Spy: Day 4
Please forgive my mid-festival hiatus…the Sundance shenanigans are nonstop. I’m back in blogging action and day four in Park City was just my type of “Sunday Funday.” After mingling with industry types and patrons the night before at the official “Late Night Lounge Hosted by Sundance London,” I missed the early morning premiere of Madrid,...
Sundance Spy: Day 3
It’s a good thing we were snowed in today since we called it a night around 4:30 a.m. and needed some serious R&R. The exclusive late night after-party of Tim & Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie at the Blue Iguana was filled with Sundance shenanigans with open bar, loud beats, and cameos by Parks & Recreation’s...
Sundance Spy: Day 2
6:30 a.m. was way too early for our iPhone alarms to go off this morning. But, catching the premiere of Your Sister’s Sister was well worth the lack of sleep. The sold out film was at the top of our list and we were sadly sans tickets. Luckily, there’s still a way to get a...
Sundance Spy: Day 1
303 Magazine headed even further west today and is live from Park City, Utah bringing you insider access from the Sundance Film Festival. We’re rolling through town with the Denver Film Society (DFS) for the next five days and have a jam-packed schedule of film premieres, A-list events, and after-parties. I know…it’s going to be...
Hump Days: The Mythical Tebow
Do other people call him the Teebs or is that just something between the two of us? Between me and my television set on Sunday evening when he threw the longest overtime touchdown pass in the shortest amount of time ever (11 seconds) and I screamed out “YES! YES! YES!” from the couch while...
MpFree: Jay-Z feat. Blue Ivy Carter – “Glory”
As everyone knows, (and if you don’t, let me break the news to you), Jay-Z and Beyoncé had their child, Blue Ivy Carter, over the weekend. If you need to know all the celebrity news, it happened on Saturday, the 7th. She was a “healthy 7 lbs”. Regardless of the complaints coming in from other...
Cockpit Kingpins: Manufactured Superstars
The camera opens on what appears to be an “astronaughty” slumber party. Hotties in orange spacesuits gradually begin to stir and propel themselves toward the walk of shame. The naughtiest one pulls a pair of salmon panties from her pocket and dangles them near the nostrils of a curly-haired man passed out on a life-sized...
Boob Tubin’: Stephen Colbert Wears Tin Foil Hat at DIA
I knew this was coming, but I missed the actual air date by a few days. Those of you who “eyeballed” it Monday night know that Comedy Central anchorman Stephen Colbert strapped on a tin foil hat and rode DIA demon steed “Blucifer” all the way to the end of times. In a segment called...
The Ritz-Carlton, Denver Shines Again
Diamonds are a hotel’s best friend too and The Ritz-Carlton, Denver has a lot of friends – ten to be exact. Last week the luxe property celebrated its 2011 AAA Five-Diamond rating with a fancy schmancy reception for hospitality and tourism industry-types. It’s the second year in a row that the hotel has received such...
