“I Mean…What?!?” – Abe Gurko

Here’s what Tyra Banks needs to do in order to revive her signature television show, America’s Next Top Model, the project that put her on the top of the reality television heap along with Heidi Klum’s Project Runway. But like all good things, and I include both of those shows, they die out. If Seinfeld and Mary Tyler Moore can overstay their welcome, believe me, these gals have too. But since Tyra is a fighter and since she is all college graduated and shizz, you can bet someone else’s bottom dollar and Miss Tyra is not going to go down… Read More »

For those of you that do not remember, today is Festivus, the non-denominational holiday made famous by Seinfeld. So… Happy Vestivus for the rest of us. Be sure to stand by a solitary empty pole and pray for the airing of the grievances as well feats of strength. If you are feeling charitable, be sure to make a donation to The Human Fund, started by George Costanza. It is money for people, after all. Right, Sarah Anderson?… Read More »

Spring is in the air which means that the Tribeca Film Festival is in full bloom.

And if it is not going to be Barak Obama, not that he doesn’t have good reason, since all our troops are in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Border of Mexico  and looming large over North Korea, then who? ‘Cause, girl? They are really pissing me off. Case in point: In the 1970’s, I was bussed to a really, really dangerous high school, and these Somali pirates remind me of the kids who bullied me and my friends. When I had finally had enough, I… Read More »
