Swine Flu and NYC Subways

Vice president Joe Biden said today he would tell his family members not to use subways in the U.S. and implied schools should be shuttered as the swine flu outbreak spread to 11 states. His remarks quickly caused a stir, leading his own office to issue a clarifying statement and drawing a rebuke from New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg.

PLAYBOY ARTICLE:

#1 UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI
When you combine weather and women, no city in the country is hotter than Miami. That’s why the U garnered our highest Bikini index score. Although Nikki Beach is the most beautiful topless seashore in the country, a recent grad raves about “hard-bodied coeds laying out on the campus lake between classes.” Frat parties rage, but you don’t have to know a secret handshake to stay out late; some clubs and bars in South Beach are permitted to stay open 24 hours a day. The University of Miami is the only private school to crack our top 10, and while its academics are in no way close to those of the Ivy League, you can get a great education here without skimping on fun. In the future Miami’s number will rise in the sports category, thanks to Randy Shannon. One
simple statement solidifies the University of Miami as 2009’s number one Playboy Party School: Other colleges come to its city for spring break. Nuff said.

DVF Fan of the Week

My friend Emilie won fan of the week for DVF....haha I had to post this!!

Don't Eat at Domino's...

This is probably one of the grossest things I have seen in a long time. Luckily, these two morons have been fired and arrested for this. They claim its a prank, but this little "prank" is going to cost Domino's ALOT of money. I know I won't be ordering from there for a while...that's just nasty.

John Madden

John Madden, legendary football coach and broadcaster has announced today that he will be retiring. The 73 year old Madden who took home 16 Emmy awards for outstanding sports analyst/personality, is most famous for being a football commentator and was a Hall of Fame coach for the Oakland Raiders. "It's been such a great ride ... the NFL has been my life for more than 40 years, it has been my passion -- it still is," he said in a statement released by NBC Sports. I wonder if this retirement means he wont be launching any more Madden videogames. I was looking forward to a Madden 2k95.

Brangelina Sightings

As expected, there have been more Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie sightings on the North Shore of Long Island. I was home for Easter last weekend and stopped at my local bagel store to pick up breakfast. Plastered on the glass bakery case was a newspaper clipping announcing to all Bagel Works customers that Brad Pitt was in there ordering an onion bagel the week before. One source claimed to see Angelina stepping out of a limo in Llyod Harbor while another say they saw Brad in a black infinti on Centre Island Road. It is rumored that Brad and Angelina are staying at Rosehearty, an 11-bedroom Centre Island estate owned by media mogel Rupert Murdoch and his wife, while work is being completed on the Sassafras Estate in Llyod Neck. I believe that report may be to throw off paparazzi since most of the sightings have been in or around the Huntington area. I have heard from multiple sources and magazine articles that the couple dined, more then once, at Cassis, next to Bagel Works in Huntington Village. It is reported that the owner shut down Cassis just for them but the owner has refused to confirm or deny that report. Reports of Brad picking up Pizza at DiRaimo's in Huntington and frequenting local bars have been flooding in. It is even rumored that the school aged Brangelina clan are attending East Woods School, Oyster Bay's private elementary and middle school. While I have yet to see the Jolie-Pitts around my hometown, I will certainly keep my eyes open while I am visiting home.

XOXO,

Cristina

Lillie's on E 17th is OPEN

This Victorian pub, which opened last week, has as many personalities as whiskey offerings (44 is the current count, so we're talking about a downright schizophrenic little establishment). Part sports bar, part elegant eatery, part pub—with all the requisite grub—Lillie's is too young to quite decide what it is. For one thing, it's being swiftly colonized by those sports-rooting guys we love to hate (only time will tell whether the football being watched will hear European- or Brooklyn-accented cheers), but the owners seem to aim for a more serious ambience: They brought the pub's antique bar and furniture over from Belfast, following in the footsteps of turn-of-the-century actress Lillie Langtry, a renowned beauty rumored to have had lots of lovers who emigrated to the U.S. Who knows, maybe she's haunting the place? That would make all those jocks happy. -Sheckys

iPhone Application Revolution

My latest addition? the iPhone. One of the best things I did was switch from my Blackberry Curve to an iPhone 3G. I cannot put it down and have been more attached to it then ever lately upon further investigation into the applications available to iPhone and iPod Touch users. What's a better way to pass the time on a subway, train or plane then by un-jummbling words, playing air hockey, having light saber fights and stimulating your mind for very little or no money at all? If you haven't found your favorite game yet or are just looking for another application, check out Hint Sprint by SoBits. You play by finding a two word rhyming solution to the clues given. If you get stumped, there's a hint button to help you out a little. To stimulate the economy and your mind check out the SoBits website at http://www.sobits.us . You can download it directly from iTunes by following this link http://www.itunes.com/apps/hintsprint or by searching for Hint Sprint by SoBits on your iPhone or iPod Touch in the app store search field. Let us know what you think after you've played!

Erin Williams in Love

I came across this picture of Erin Williams from "The City". I gotta say, being a single girl in New York City...I love her care-free attitude. However, giving up a great guy like JR and crying over her "long distance" boyfriend makes me wonder...is she really happy?

At the end of the Season Finale I loved when DVF said that you must love yourself. That is so true in all relationships!! Yet, I still believe Erin and Whit are still looking for love.

Thoughts??
