Dunkin Donuts is giving out free iced coffee all day today to celebrate the arrival of spring. So get out there and enjoy sixteen ounces of the cold, caffeinated stuff! Yesterday they had Vanilla Ice (or Rob Van Winkle, as he prefers to be known) and actor Lenny Clarke from The Winner hosting a karaoke contest in Copley Square. Whoever could create a Dunkin' Donuts themed rap to "Ice Ice Baby" would win all sorts......

It was only a matter of time. Our favorite local celebrity in trouble, Bobby Brown, got picked up today on an arrest warrant in Attleboro. He was nabbed for not paying child support - yet again. His own attorney said he's having trouble making the child support payments. Couldn't he just call up Bravo and sign on for another season? Or is the umpteenth season of VH1's the Surreal Life hiring? He must really not......

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." The Ashton Kutcher-produced Beauty and the Geek is a competition in which several teams of "beauties" and "geeks" try to teach life lessons and social skills to each other.

He's a pianist, he runs a tutoring company, and he is a Harvard grad. The Globe profiled Urban......

Animal Collective, Avalon, 2.21.06 Avoiding misnomers and labels and subverting expectations, Animal Collective performed a mix of sounds and songs that were incredibly familiar to Boston fans in attendance. Last year at the Middle East downstairs, the foursome worked through material that would become one of the finest albums of the year, Feels, as well as a choice or two from Sung Tongs. That show was veiled in a blanket of shadows and sweat, with......

Even if (as is our dream) Bostonist were the scriptwriter for an absurdist political sit-com, we could not have come close to crafting the amusing scene that unfolded around Mitt Romney as he actually rode the T yesterday to prove to all of us that orange-plus ain't that bad. First, he couldn't say how much a subway ride costs. Then he was harangued by a man (unnamed and homeless, according to the Globe) about his......
