--Graffiti artist Adam Brandt, who may possibly be "Spek," was arrested and "charged with 16 counts of tagging and 16 counts of malicious wanton destruction to property." [Boston Globe] --Two college students, one of them a junior at Bridgewater State College, have been missing since Valentine's Day. 22-year-old Daniel Querzoli, the Bridgewater State student, and his girlfriend, Amy Scott, a Johnson & Wales student, went out in Providence and haven't been seen since.

--Matt O'Malley offers a ward-by-ward breakdown of how the city of Boston voted in the Democratic primary. [Matt O'Malley] --Barstool Sports is calling for a boycott of the Boston Herald "except the Inside Track" because of sportswriter John Tomase's story about the Patriots videotaping the Rams. [Barstool Sports] --Massachusetts will be representing on reality TV when Big Brother airs--but will they be representing well? [Third Decade] --Valentine's is coming up, and one local website offers......

Both the Herald and Globe wondered today about whether and why Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks was booed during a promotional appearance Sunday night at Gillette Stadium. Could it be that a stadium full of "red-blooded American football fans" (as the Herald's Inside Track ladies put it) actually booed any model, let alone a Victoria's Secret lass? Bostonist was there, and we heard all the boos. And much as we give credit to anyone speaking......

We weren't surprised to see Manny Ramirez selling a car on eBay, but the news that someone was selling Red Sox manager Terry Francona's chewed gum on eBay thoroughly disgusted us. The fact that people were bidding on it disgusted us even more. And how are you going to know it's Terry Francona's gum, anyway? That's like selling Britney Spears' Dorito Dust. The seller told the Inside Track that she got it from the dugout......

Actor/comedian Jimmy Fallon went a little "play some Skynard!" at a Bang Camaro gig at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City. According to the Inside Track, Bang Camaro had to talk him down a little when he "demanded" that they play some Doors: “All was going fine until halfway through the set I hear some idiot bellowing into one of our mikes,” said Bang Camaro guitarist Alex Necochea. “I look up and see Fallon......

We caught wind of Manny's grill auction yesterday afternoon. Bidding was up around $4,300 when we first checked. My midnight it was already past the million dollar mark, even higher overnight, an early morning check revealed that $99,999,999 was the current high bid. The early afternoon came a few emails letting us know that the auction would be no longer. eBay had closed the auction down. The Globe splashed the mention on the front page,......

Let's just set aside the Celtics current troubles and cheer for Gerald Green, who won the NBA All-Star Slam Dunk contest with skill and some serious showmanship. Green needed to be flashy because the All-Star events were already set in the shiny, sparkly city of Las Vegas, and he lived up to the landscape. With Paul Pierce as his set-up man, Green competed against Orlando's Dwight Howard, Chicago's Tyrus Thomas, and last year's winner, Nate......

Last night was the last call at The Rack. The Hard Rock Café is moving from their Back Bay location where they've been neatly tucked away from most of the foot traffic only blocks away to The Rack's location near Faneuil Hall. What Bostonist will miss most about The Rack isn't the overpriced drinks or pool tables – it's the column inch upon column inch of content they've provided for The Inside Track over the......

We're sure there are high school girls with Tom Brady's name penciled into the backs of their notebooks. Who are we kidding? There's a guy in the next cube who's got a framed picture of the QB sitting on his desk obscuring the pictures of his kids. There's a lot of love for the man who's helped elevate the Patriots to (at least talk of) dynasty status around New England and even across the country.......

When the cast and crew of the latest Scorsese flick, "The Departed" descended on Boston last year, Bostonist was excited to see some real movie stars film in the real streets of Boston (and not Toronto, Vancouver, or any other more affordable Canadian city). Unfortunately, they were only here about a month before heading down to New York City to use it as the backdrop for what is supposed to be an entire story......

Bostonist loves the Inside Track ladies at the Herald. They’ve got their finger on the tiny trickle of celebrity and athlete gossip coming from the Hub. As was pointed out earlier this year, they were the only ones who could keep track of The Departed. But this morning they’re knocking on the Internet and Bosonist’s “Weather or Not” man Todd Gross. Set to make an appearance this morning on WAAF, before Todd went live, the......

Nomar Garciaparra, former sox shortstop and local sports icon, was reported to have saved two women from drowning after they fell into Boston Harbor late last week. Without bringing an entourage with him for the rescue (like some people we know) the story is only breaking now, thank you Inside Track ladies. Nomar was back in the Hub visiting his uncle, Victor Garciaparra and on Friday when the two heard a scream, and then......

This isn’t a retraction. We still like teasing the Boston Herald as the number two paper in the two-paper town. But we’ll take a minute to turn away from the teasing and tip our hat to the Herald. It’s not just the Inside Track we enjoy but the photojournalism that David Goldman is bringing half way across the world. From the Gaza Strip the images from the Herald better illustrate than words alone. Bostonist......

Boston Herald "Sweet Shot"Perhaps the Herald is feeling a little pissed this week after their neimesis, The Boston Globe, launched their new feature, Sidekick, a tabloid-styled What's Happening section. The Herald's Inside Track ladies always have the top gossip on celebrities, athletes, etc. The Globe living section focuses more on things to see, do, etc. around the city than the "who" to see, do, etc. The Herald threw a few jabs at the Boston Globe......

Bostonist always loves a bit of gossip now and then, so when the Boston Herald had a front page mention of a cheating Johnny Damon, we just had to read the blurb. Golden Boy Damon is loved for his playing out in the field and for his appearance by the female fans, but his ex-wife, Angie Vannice, is not loving him at all. The couple were high school sweethearts down in Orlando, and were married......
