I will admit: My taste in music has been called into question on more than one occasion (if being stuck in the ’80s is a crime, then book me, Danno). However, I feel somewhat vindicated with all of the bragging I’ve been doing about J. Dash’s Tabloid Truth, which is available right this very minute on [...]
Dear Guy at the Best of Jacksonville Party who looks like Dwight K. Schrute: In case you were wondering why some tall girl with lime green glasses kept following you around you all night surreptitiously(or not) taking photos of you, it’s because she thought you resembled Dwight K. Schrute from The Office and she wanted to [...]
Some people think the big event in town last night was the Republican presidential debate at the UNF, but those truly in the know were about 12 miles away at EverBank Field (yes, I did look up the mileage … I’m OCD like that) attending Jacksonville Magazine‘s Best of Jacksonville Party. For those of you who weren’t [...]
He’s back! Tim Tebow showed up on stage at recent Brad Paisley concert. Unfortunately, all those years of singing in church did nothing to help his voice.
According to Jacksonville.com, presidential candidate Newt Gingrich is opening his Jacksonville headquarters Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. Bill McCollum, former Florida attorney general and co-chairman of Gingrich’s Florida campaign, will speak on his behalf at 5 p.m. The headquarters is located at 1046 Riverside Ave. (pictured here … in all its glory) just across the street [...]
Last year, I decided I was done with American Idol, not just because Simon Cowell left (Randy’s my favorite anyway) but because it was getting to be the same old show season after season. Between the delusional contestants and singers with sob stories, not to mention that pedophile in pimp’s clothing Steven Tyler, I swore [...]
In an attempt to feed people’s insatiable appetite for celebrity gossip, The Specktator and my trusted panel of reporters, the Eye-Team, report sightings of local luminaries (aka J-listers) and “real” stars about town, in a segment we affectionately refer to as “Invasion of Privacy.” If you’re looking to have J-lister restaurant encounter, I can think of no place better than Taco [...]
It was a good news/bad news kind of day at Phoenix Lanes on Blanding Boulevard. The bad news is that I thought I had a big celebrity sighting when I spied who I thought was Dennis Franz (aka NYPD Blue‘s Andy Sipowicz) but turned out to be just some a random mustachioed, bespectacled, chubby guy on the Westside. [...]
Since TT’s “miracle season” has officially ended, I’ll be curtailing my obsessive coverage and will be leaving you with some of my favorite recent stories. 1. One word: Tebowie. P.S. I love you even more now, Jimmy Fallon. 2. ESPN breaks its own Tebow record. (Apparently, I’m not the only blogger with Tebow-related OCD counting issues.) [...]
Sun-Ray Cinema hasn’t been open two months yet, but genius owners Tim Massett and Shana David Massett are already attracting award-winning actor/directors to the 5 Points Theater as part of Tim’s über-popular film series brainchild, The Talkies (did I just use the word “über”?) First up is John Cameron Mitchell. To those of you who only [...]
