Bravo's had a rough time recently: the complete FAIL that is The Fashion Show and far too much Real Housewives of Wherever made us wonder how the network that brought us The Rachel Zoe Project, Project Runway, and perennial favorite Top Chef could fall so low, so fast. Things (maybe) change this week! Make sure to catch the premiere of Bostonist favorite, Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D List tonight at 10 PM. Stay tuned for our Top Chef Masters rundown on Wednesday.
Did you know that there's another Dave from Somerville on reality television this season? Well, somewhat. This Somerville Dave left Massachusetts for Los Angeles, made his fortune in sex toys at sextoy.com (find it yourself), started wearing a semi-faux-hawk, and installed a stripper pole in his home.
By now you've probably noticed that we're tracking Tommy Grella's progress in The Next Food Network Star because we're still annoyed that Boston wasn't represented in Top Chef (you hear us, Bravo?). And we like the fact that Grella breaks the "Boston tough guy" reality-TV character.
It was only a matter of time. Our favorite local celebrity in trouble, Bobby Brown, got picked up today on an arrest warrant in Attleboro.
Not feeling up for First Nighting? Unable to get to New York City to watch the ball drop in person? As usual, the TV networks are more than willing to provide you with the kind of entertainment that will drive you to drink. Here's the lineup: WGBH 2 (PBS): Garrison Keillor's New Year's Eve Special. 10 pm. This one's for those of you who are feeling civilized. WBZ 4 (CBS): Local First Night Special. The...
Every once in a while a webcast comes around that Bostonist just adores. Of course, we want to share this adoration and what better way to accomplish this than to drop a review on the intertubes for your consumption? This week we review a 'cast that is produced by the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum: The Concert.
Got $8 bucks in your pocket and a bus transfer that will get you to Allston? Great, see you there. Tonight New York City rockers Bravo Silva play a value added show with local boys The Debutantes (formed right here in Allston in '02) and Oakland's The Cuts and The Time Flys. Call them all hipsters, call them all stoners, doesn't matter what you call them as long as you're listening - the music rocks.
Bostonist has always been honest about its reality-TV obsession, but when we heard about the newest one this week, we were a bit skeptical. One of the original boy bands of the 1980s, New Edition, hailed from Boston and included Roxbury boy Bobby Brown. In the days before he was arrested for drugs, not paying child support, and even a Disney World brawl, Brown was pretty famous in Maurice Starr's New Edition and then branched out with a solo career, which included "My Prerogative" (Bostonist had the cassette tape. Jealous?). So Brown was hot for a while and then got cold like most teen stars do. He was back in the spotlight once he married pop queen Whitney Houston in 1992 and the two of them have been in and out of court and tabloids ever since.
A few weeks ago, a story that Kevin Millar was going to be made over by the Fab 5 from "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" surfaced and now it appears to have been true...and he's not alone in wanting to get in touch with his feminine side. The Bravo show arrived in Florida today to begin their transformation of six of the World Champion Idiots of Fenway Park. Millar has been joined by fellow...
News last week is that the Big Dig was getting closer to completion, albeit a little leaky. The fourth lane will be added to the Zakim Bridge, a new tunnel configuration will be implemented, and the southbound Congress street onramp will be opened. The Rose Kennedy park in the North End will also begin construction as soon as the weather permits.
