Beauty and the Geek: For the next-to-last episode, the teams traveled to wine country for an "I Love Lucy" challenge. They had to pick grapes, stomp them, and bottle grape juice--while tied to each other. Despite the disturbing sight of Big Dave and Little Jasmine hunkered over each other while stomping grapes, the pair won the challenge, prepared three bottles of grape juice laced with Eau de Foot, and guaranteed themselves a spot in the...
PodCamp Boston 2 Friday, October 26 through Sunday, October 28 Boston Convention & Expo Center Free, but registration required Official Site PodCamp Boston 2 promises to teach you more than how to bedazzle an iPod, as witnessed on the reality-show I Love New York 2. The days are packed with practical seminars on creating your own web-media empire. Seminar titles include "Web 2.0 Tools That Are Actually Useful" and "Intellectual Property Law for the Creative...
In the bid to make 2007 the first season when all four LDS's were sweeps, the National League took care of business yesterday. The Rockies bid adieu to Philly, while the Diamondbacks went to Wrigley and broke Cub fans' hearts for the 99th straight season. Which, if you're a Red Sox fan, at least means that when we win the World Series, at least we won't do it on the back of long-suffering Philly or...
Ivy Gate Blog has been compiling videos of Ivy-League students acting like idiots. Harvard students produced a fine piece of work in which two shirtless male students make an "avant-garde peanut-butter and jelly sandwich" while chugging booze: The one on the right appears to channeling the accent adopted by "Mr. Boston," competitor on the dating reality show I Love New York. Video originally posted to YouTube by HarvardHooligan. His parents are proud....
Army sergeant Joan Duran, 24, of Roxbury, died in Iraq. A report on Fox 25 said that Duran was on his second tour of duty and was scheduled to get out in two months. He attended Boston Latin and joined the Army right after graduation. He was based out of Fort Bragg. Fox 25 interviewed his fiancee, Andrea Silva, who said he had plans to be a math teacher once he left the Army. The...
The Herald published a great article on the perception of Massachusetts natives on reality television. In general, they're perceived as tough guys at best and obnoxious at worst. Exhibits include Chris Tamburello of "The Real World," Mr. Boston of "I Love New York," Boston Rob of "Survivor," and John Lakness of "Pirate Master." (Where are the women here?)
Let's just tear off the Band-Aid and get to it: the Sox lost with Dice-K on the mound for the second time in a row, this time in a tough 2-1 loss in Toronto. We're sure that the WEEI phone banks will be full with callers today wondering what the heck's going on with our millionaire import, especially considering that Daisuke Matsuzaka forced in the game-winning run with a walk in the fourth (this is known in pitching circles as "the worst thing EVER").
Well, Bobby Brown doesn't have a clock, but he could use the money, and he's single. So it makes sense that he's pitching a dating show starring himself. Throw in some bikini-clad hoodrats, and you have something special! Or will you? Such a concept (faded musician, hoey babes) has already been done – and done right if you've seen Flavor of Love, in which rapper Flavor Flav selects one woman from a veritable buffet of...
We can't make fun of Senate President Robert Travaglini, lovingly known as "T-Vag," anymore. T-Vag (not to be confused with "T-Weed" of I Love New York fame) has announced that he's leaving that he is leaving the guv'mint for a higher-paying job. $90,000 dollars a year wasn't enough for him, so he's moving on to bigger and better things. The Globe says T-Vag will launch "a lobbying company that would help clients navigate the political...
Mr. Boston of I Love New York proudly refers to himself as a stud, but MIT alum Matthew Herman of Beauty and the Geek was called upon to transform himself from a "Geek" into a "Stud."
In the latest installment of Massachusetts Reality-TV men, Mr. Boston of I Love New York leapfrogs past Tim Urban of The Apprentice when it comes to shocking moments.
In the interest of keeping up with how our local boys are doing in Hollywood, Bostonist is going to check in with Tim Urban of The Apprentice: Los Angeles and "Mr. Boston" from I Love New York.
Perhaps it's because people from Massachusetts are larger-than-life. This television season has more than a few ties to the upcoming crop of reality-show debuts. Here a few notables from the upcoming schedule: Tim Urban, from Newton, will be on The Apprentice and runs the risk of sleeping in a tent outdoors if he doesn't impress The Donald. He's a pianist, he runs a tutoring company, and he is a Harvard grad. The Globe profiled Urban...
There was a time when Weird Al was an idol not to be reckoned with. In the mind of a pre-teen "Dare to be Stupid" was a masterpiece like no other. The parodies kept flowing for a while, and we started losing interest. We came back around to Weird Al when he made appearances on VH1's I Love the 80's 3-D. Now he's back with a new album. Straight Outta Lynwood is set to drop a week from tomorrow, though the first video from the disc is scheduled to be released at midnight tonight. The tubes must be flowing free today, because the latest parody video from Weird Al, "White and Nerdy" is already alive and well on youtube. We bring it to you with local relevance. MIT, one of our favorite local institutes of technology is represented. According to the song, part of being nerdy is holding the GPA to be "first in my class at MIT."
The rains come again this weekend and there's something that will keep you busy inside. VH1 and MTV won't be showing you non-stop videos like they once did. MTV2 doesn't even seem to have that type of programming – but the internets is not killing the video star. If anything the flame has been reignited (we haven't watched so many videos for years). YouTube plays host to myriad videos; live and production. Everything from Gnarls Barkley's Top of the Pops performance to Boston's More than a Feeling and just about everything in between is out there if you look for it. There have been a couple compendiums made of the available music videos, though none seem to be quite as addictive as the "I Love the 80's Music" list you'll find here. 1,500 videos from the eighties – you'll be busting out your fluorescent headband and rocking big socks pulled up over the cuffs of your jeans in no time. Well, that or watching Shannon sing Let the Music Play, the USA for Africa collaboration of We Are the World, Weird Al Yankovic's Fat, Wilson Philips and…oh, let's leave it at that, it's hard to stop once you’ve started.
The season finale has just aired for your favorite TV show. NBC hasn't run Must See TV on Thursdays for a decade. The sun is shining and temperatures will be perfect for showing up jacketless to the next performance. Something to do every night this week – and rock it out for free with the pop tunes from WBOS' EarthFest line up on Saturday, starting at noon. All this and we're tivo-ing the Sox/Yanks games...
Opening February 26 in the Gund Gallery at the MFA, David Hockney Portraits promises to make up for such recent disappointments as "The Things I Love: The Many Collections of William Koch" and "Style, Speed, and Beauty: Cars from the Ralph Lauren Collection." As much as Bostonist can appreciate the new audience that such exhibitions pulled into the MFA, it is more than a welcome breathe of fresh air to have British artist Hockney's portrait exhibition gracing our fine city for a few months.
Do you know what movie is being flimed on Charles Street (the Cambridge end)? The last block is filled with trailers and temporary tents. I saw some names on a trailer door - Lucy and Desi - which led me to believe it's an "I Love Lucy" remake. But a quick search on IMDB revealed no movie of the same title. So have you heard what it is? Or, more importantly, do you know what...
Occasionally Bostonist likes to hit our readers with a little bit of cul-cha (culture), but please don't think that this is your Granny recommending that you read some more Patricia Cornwell novels and join her for Bridge at the community center, or (in the case of some our readers) your professor forcing you to attend a production of "Midsummer Night's Dream" - no, no, no. Bostonist loves you more than that.
