Some lament the absence of ridiculous, non-athletic celebrities in the fine, frigid city of Boston. An advantage of this, however, is that the chances of assaulting the said public figures for their offensively perfect crafts and obliviousness to the economic crisis.

This one couldn't be contained in the blotter … WBZ had the headline screaming "Dominatrix Mom Arrested on Prostitution Charge."
The Super Bowl is supposed to be a face-off between the two best football teams, but it's also a free-for-all among corporations as they scramble for your advertising dollars. This year seemed a touch uninspired, but a few ads were either funny enough or odd enough to stand out. Bostonist braved all the commercials and brings the best to you. We'd also like to hear your thoughts on the ads in the comments.
Rachael Ray will be at the Barnes & Noble at Prudential Center for a book signing at noon tomorrow - Wednesday, December 20. Then she'll be at the Sur La Table in the Mall at Chestnut Hill on the same day from 6:00 to 7:30 pm. A Globe article named "Hatred of Rachael Ray Can Be a Powerful Uniting Force" became one of the most popular articles on globe.com (not as popular as "Flatulence...
Dear Bostonist, I’m got a some holiday parties this month and I always show up with a random bottle of wine in hand for the party host. Do you have any creative, inexpensive gifts that aren’t alcoholic and not completely lame, to give to the party-throwers? Thanks! Sick of Chardonnay Bostonist has definitely been in that situation as recently as this past weekend when we showed up to a friend’s soiree with a 12 pack...
Ding dong the wicked Dawn is gone on The Apprentice: Martha Stewart this past week. After dodging a firing each week in the Conference Room with Martha, Dawn was given the boot after her team lost yet another challenge. This week, the kids had to create a "lifestyle suite" at the Westin Hotel in Times Square. Dawn chose not to join her Matchstick teammates with painting the suite through the night and to top things off, she overslept the next morning. Martha did not think Dawn was "a good thing" and she wrote her this ever touching goodbye letter.
Last week, before we started shedding tears of sorrow for the Red Sox, Bostonist had overheard some stuff in the city. We asked if you had overheard some things to. Apparently you had. Crazy guy sitting alone at outdoor table by City Hall Plaza Starbucks As ugly as I am, people still love me! I'm not angry. Two twenty-somethings walking down Newbury Street First Girl: I'd rather have cancer than be pregnant. Second Girl:...
After getting knocked around last week and twisting her ankle, Amy of Survivor:Guatemala was ready for some fun. Winning a chance to have a picnic lunch atop a Mayan Temple, Amy got her first taste of booze while reminiscing about Boston. The booze must have been good since after getting liquored up, she confessed that she'd kill Gary if she found out he was an ex-NFL quarterback. If that wasn't enough she let the F-bombs fly when she returned from her picnic to find several people in her tribe, Yaxha, had been swapped with Nakum. Amy seems like she would be a fun girl to go out to a bar with and Bostonist can't wait for her to come back.
Well, it's the second week of the new season of reality shows and Boston's two candidates are still standing after another elimination. Bostonist was sure that Dawn, the PR consultant/Emerson prof. was going to get the boot this week on Martha Stewart's Apprentice and she came damn close again this week, making it to the "conference room." It seems that Dawn and her creative-themed team can't get their acts together, losing another challenge to the corporate team with a task of selling flowers. Poor Dawn even put on a black cocktail dress and strolled the streets one night hoping to promote the opening of the flower shop. Bostonist was pretty confused on how this would be a good way to promote flowers and ultimately, the dress didn't secure a win. It was a showdown between Dawn and Jim, who was using his most manipulative ad exec skills to get her fired, but poor project manager Chuck was booted, saving Dawn's hide for another week. Of course, Bostonist learned a valuable lesson this week from Martha: "Women in business don't cry, my dear."
Now that the new fall season of reality TV shows has started up, Bostonist feels at home again. After a summer of Rescue Me and Laguna Beach, we are ready to go back to the network stations and their new round of awful (yet enjoyable) reality TV shows. As usual, the city of Boston has spread their seed into the homes of America with a new cast of reality characters. On Wednesday night, Martha Stewart's...
For a city that welcomes hundreds of thousands of college students each fall, Boston sure makes it hard for these students to throw a party. An article in the Herald today announced that a new “keg-tracking system” will be going into effect to keep tabs on all the barrels that kids are buying in the city. When Bostonist first read the headline, we expected to see tracking devices a la Martha Stewart’s ankle bracelet attached to our fine barrels of lager. But, this is Boston and technology is never as up-to-date as one might think; once given the okay from the Boston Licensing Board, the new tracking system will make every single liquor store call police and report who bought a keg. This phone call, e-mail or fax has to be made immediately after the sale of the keg and include the name, address, and D.O.B. of the buyer. (When Bostonist last picked up a keg at good ol’ Blanchards, we were waiting for a background check to be issued and list of references required before we could take the keg home.)
Since it is the day of chocolate and love, Bostonist thought you might enjoy a nice cup of homemade hot cocoa, courtesy of Martha Stewart Living's February 2005 issue. Even while locked away in jail, she still is able to make one mean cup of cocoa.
The Improv Asylum also has a midnight show on Saturdays for $10 where "all bets are off." They also offer corporate training events where you can bring the Asylum into the office. Having an actor play your boss? Now that is a company outing worth going on.
