Congratulations to my almost-husband Paul McCartney for marrying the nice-seeming and very attractive Nancy Shevell. I think she’s perfect for him because she: doesn’t have a resume of crazy. can presumably tolerate annoying thumb activity, pot and the word “veggie.” Speaking of Paul, the New York Times called him “impossibly charming” in the Martin Scorsese [...]

Yesterday, at the benefit luncheon for the Trust for the National Mall (to which I wore my Alexander McQueen suit), I had a enjoyable and completely biased chat with a woman at my table about how the third time’s the charm when it comes to wives. In our experience, men who have been married twice [...]

Well, well, well. John Lennon would have been 70 today. It’s strange to think that it’s been almost 30 years since he was murdered. I remember getting up for school that morning. My mother, who was in the kitchen surprisingly early, told me, “John Lennon was killed,” and I said, “WHO?!” because I was so [...]

On March 26, 2009, I posted about A Distant Mirror and told you to come back the next week for more. I wrote a long and [...]

They live in Vancouver but just happened to be visiting Paris at the right moment. Oddly, we all enjoyed discussing this episode of Family Guy over dinner. MrB took this picture of [...]

Gorgeous blogger Pretty in Black tagged me to write about five albums that changed my life. Trivia: I had the first four on vinyl. 1. Parallel Lines by Blondie was one of the first albums I ever owned. As I recall, my grandfather Sam got it for me when I was about 11. I can’t [...]

Got this song by the Kinks stuck in my head. “The tax man’s taken all my dough,And left me in my stately home,lazing on a sunny afternoon.”Speaking of ’60s bands, there’s a trailer out for America’s Lost Band, the documentary on the Remains.

I was wondering why it has been so windy and cold New York the past couple of days. It turns out that the weather gods are trying to blow Heather Mills home to England. This hasn’t done Heather’s craptastic new hairdo any favors. Photo of Heather’s bad hair blowing in the wind from the Daily [...]
