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.” The Cathedral Arts project hosted its eighth [...]

If you care about my opinion at all—or even if you think I’m nothing more than a snarky hack obsessed with D-list celebrities (which wouldn’t be completely untrue)—I implore you to do three things right this very second (unless, of course, you are at work; don’t need anybody getting fired on my account). 1.

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.” Country music legend Glen Campbell performed to a sold-out crown Sunday night. It was [...]
Earlier today, I read in “In the Know,” DJ Chill Will’s weekly e-newsletter about former Gator quarterback, Chris Leak, who recently signed with the Jacksonville Giants, being suspended. Normally, I wouldn’t care except for the fact that I just interviewed Leak not two weeks ago for Jacksonville Magazine, and he will appear in the April issue [...]
The Performers Academy (TPA) is hosting an open casting call today from 2-5 PM for models, singers and dancers ages 4-24 for an upcoming fashion show for Blessings in a Backpack (I call age discrimination! I happen to know some very cool 45-year-olds who use backpacks!). Casting director Gregory James Blount, whose “discoveries” have appeared in The [...]

Though I’m not a huge fan of watching the news, I do love me a wacky weatherman. So when First Coast News meteorologist/feature reporter Lew Turner sent out this Tweet earlier this evening, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it), I was sitting under a hair dryer [...]
Local musician Ace Cas needs your help. His band INFECTED FROM WITHIN (their screaming uppercase, not mine) is looking for a new guitarist. The qualifications are pretty minimal, judging from Cas’ Facebook message: ”If you know of anyone that is not a druggy, alcoholic or has a bunch of B.S. drama we would like to talk to [...]
“Believe: An Evening With Tim Tebow” was kind of like an episode of Inside the Actor’s Studio but with First Coast News sports director Dan Hicken playing the part of James Lipton, Tim Tebow in the actor’s seat (which, technically, was a director’s chair but whatever) and an audience of church members and football fans standing in for [...]
