While Wes Welker visited a North Attleboro school with a real hero, a bunch of Patriots, including Tom Brady, visited Henry Grew Elementary School in Hyde Park. Brady brought Robert Kraft, Deion Branch, Patrick Chung, Brandon Merriweather and Zoltan Mesko with him. We don't know who drove.
The Pats visited the school to promote the NFL's Play 60 program to get kids to exercise for at least 60 minutes of a day. The school got a $10,000 grant to buy gym or recess equipment. The highlight was Brady showing off his now controversial hair.

If Randy Moss can't talk smack about Tom Brady's hair, then Justin Bieber needs to shut up fast. Brady's hair experiment is a growing concern taking on a life of its own as Bieber took a shot at Brady in a YouTube rap.
Tom Brady was unhappy after the Patriots lost to the Jets on Sunday, 28-14. Brady even went so far as to say his team "sucked." Since then, Brady has kept producing quotes worth talking about.
This photo reminds us a little of Walker Evans's old storefront shots. It has a lot of strong geometric elements—the rectangular door, signs, and window frames, the long panels on the building facade and along the roof. The contrast is great, and we like how the person in the frame gives it some vitality and motion. Taken by photographynatalia on a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi at 1/160, f/10, 40 mm focal length, ISO 200.
David Ortiz is back! That guy who went to Japan, kind of looked like Papi, swung with a handicap, and made lots of outs was replaced by the confident slugger we all know and love. The real Papi singled in the fifth for his first hit of the year, then put the Sox on the board with a 2-run homer in the seventh.
First, there were the rumors about Tom Brady getting hair plugs. Now, our Governor shaves his head. The state of the Commonwealth's hair is in flux.

There's so much to say about former Massachusetts governor and Republican presidential aspirant Mitt Romney's looks. His political views may be ever-changing, but one things for certain--some people find him attractive. And some people like to get a little closer.
Enza Sambataro may not be a household name, but she inspires a passionate response from baseball fans. She's about to marry the beloved Red Sox player Kevin Youkilis.
Former Massachsuetts governor and Republican presidential aspirant Mitt Romney has been at the center of Bostonist's thoughts. That's not because of his freshly minted ultra-right politics or the cute way he pretends not to know Massachusetts when the state comes up in conversation. It's because his previous official portrait as governor makes for some really funny photo mashups.
A 25-year-old woman was nearly raped after leaving a Green Line train from the Brookline Village stop early this morning. She told police that the man followed her from Government Center to Brookline Village and attacked her on Cypress Street. When he attacked, she managed to get away and run home.

Josh Ritter Tuesday, December 11 Club Passim, Harvard Square 7 p.m. and 10 p.m., $35-$75 (SOLD OUT) When Josh Ritter closed his most recent Somerville show with a rambled monologue in which he dispensed impractical driving directions from Davis Square to Canada (via the Fresh Pond Whole Foods) and plugged his two upcoming benefit concerts at Passim, Bostonist jumped at the chance to see him in such a cozy, acoustic-friendly venue—and so did everyone...

Many women get close to their hairdressers, whether they're forking over too much for a haircut or going to SuperCuts. But have you been worried that your hairdresser might hate you? Kayleen Schaefer at the New York Times did a trend piece on how the most successful hairstylists don't gossip with or barely even talk to their customers. The first hairstylist profiled was Mario Russo of Boston: “I’m not in a position to give you...
If you see something, say something! Especially if it's a middle-aged man with white hair and a long beige coat packing a newspaper and an exposed pee-pee. For the past several months, a man fitting the above description above has been getting grabby and flashy with high school students on the Green "E" Line between Brigham Circle and Government Center. Oh, man -- skeee-eee-eeeve. If you have any info about the Green Line Groper...
The Five Brothers, aka Mitt Romney's kids who all blog for Dad, are toothy, cute, and so wholesome it could make your brain bleed. They strike us as mostly harmless sorts who just want to tell the world how cool their Dad is. But they do not, under any circumstances, need to be playing touch football with streamers dangling around their butts. The Team Romney football game marks the second time that Bostonist has seen...
Other -ists, such as Chicagoist, Houstonist, and Austinist, regularly peruse Craigslist's "Missed Connections" for the good stuff. Boston's Missed Connections have been fairly straightforward, with the exception of the guy who thought he found Fung Wah Love. But this has been a good week for impressive Missed Connections. First, a love note to a "meter maid" caught our eye: You waited until I backed into the parking space to tell me that in the future...
Now that Donald Trump is eyeing Massachusetts for a new casino, what would life be like with Donald Trump sightings? Pretty cool, actually. The Track Girls can cover incidents in which the wind blows back his hair and shows what's underneath that critter sitting on his head. Maybe we'll get a taste of the Trump shenanigans that Gothamist sees on a regular basis, such as when Trump defied the ghosts of SoHo to build a...
Everybody's favorite mustache month is wrapping up nicely, with some film stars ostensibly in town to shoot movies but succeeding mostly in displaying some fine facial hair. Both William H. Macy and Steve Martin rocked the 'stache in Boston recently. We like Martin's dapper style, but Macy wins for volume. (The bathrobe is a nice touch, too.) And with December looming, Santa brings out the beard 'n mustache combo, much to the dismay of some...

On Saturday night at the Paradise, UMass alums Dinosaur Jr. brought their intense melodies and insane guitar work back to Boston for the first time since the release of their latest album, Beyond. For a show featuring dudes old enough to be your dad, it rocked much harder than most indie bands do today. Satisfying both longtime fans now in their forties (or beyond), twentysomethings who felt the pain in middle school, and XX-handed minors...

Not only does Project Runway Season 4 feature a contestant named Sweet P (was the "ea" part of "pea" that intrusive?), it also has the requisite dude with whack hair, dude with whack facial hair, and a fabulous first episode title: "Sew Me What You Got." Sweet! None of the designers appear to have Massachusetts connections, but models Lauren, Marcia, and Wendi are all from the Bay State. Lauren started modeling in Boston, and Marcia...

The Veterans for Peace responded by blocking the official ceremony podium with gags in their mouths and...

I would say to take everything seriously except for yourself. There is so much to learn and so much to...
We wondered what happened to Peter Berdovsky and Sean Stevens from the Aqua Teen Hunger Force incident. Berdovsky, also known as "Zebbler," has made lemonade out of the experience. After the Cartoon Network and viral-marketing company Interference, Inc., hung him and Sean Stevens out to dry, Berdovsky made a comeback and has been named one of the top 20 VJs in the world by DJ Magazine. No doubt a little ATHF publicity helped to...
