Who will be the next Boston Rob? Who cracked us up as much as "Mr. Boston" did when he wooed Tiffany "New York" Patterson? A new season of reality television has started, and Massachusetts residents are on many of the shows, so we'll take a tour of how they're doing each week. --Kid Nation: A child from Upton is participating in Kid Nation, the reality show that has stirred up all manner of controversy regarding......

NECCO, the New England Confectionary Company in Revere, might get sued by a New Mexico family. The Tapias of Santa Fe claim their son bit into a NECCO chocolate marshmallow egg and cut his tongue on a razor blade. Of course, we've heard of all the urban legends about dangerous objects in food. They are often hoaxes, such as the legendary finger-in-the-Wendy's-chili incident. But we'll wait to see what the investigation reveals. NECCO isn't overreacting,......

It turns out that Souter is wanted for tax evasion, racketeering, embezzlement, and lots of other bad business stuff; he had started a business to help artists sell their work in New Mexico but ended up selling......

Bostonist wants to be in two places at once, and not in that wussy, standing over state lines ala Mandy Moore weepie A Walk To Remember, either.
