A few days ago they gave us a list of romantic NYC movies, and now The Daily News delivers a list of romantic songs. One hundred of them, to be exact, so if you wanted a last minute gift for your valentine, you could make them a mix cd for just 99 bucks and change (if you used iTunes). Just like with the movie list, however, this one is lacking. No Tupelo Honey, Enless Love......

Wouldn't it be funny, Mayor Bloomberg and his girlfriend Diana Taylor, and Ice-T and wife Coco, enjoying a meal out? Alas, it's just a fantasy inspired by the Mayor's and the rapper-actor's appearance announcing that VH1 Save the Music and Time Warner Cable had donated $1 million of musical instruments to NYC public schools. Studies have shown that music education can positively impact children's lives, which raised some questions about the Mayor's musical abilities:Reporter: Did......

The big season premiere for today might be Weeds for adults, but for kids - and their parents - it was surely this morning's Sesame Street season premiere. And we've been eagerly awaiting it, as it had the "Law Order: Special Letters Unit" segment! We bring you the clip via YouTube, and boy, is it great. Not only is there a funny looking duck puppet, the characters totally refer to the Law & Order......

Now, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit has used guest star stunt casting pretty well - Amanda Plummer as a disabled rape victim, Matthew Modine as a suspected pedophile, Ludacris as Ice-T's nephew - if the plotlines are over-the-top. But news that Jerry Lewis will appear this fall, as a homeless man suspected of murder who just happens to be Detective Munch's uncle? That is GOLD - we cannot wait for some Munch and Uncle......

Gothamist is very grateful that we didn't have to witness Bloomberg's Hip Hop Press conference yesterday. OK, well, actually we kinda do wish that we'd been there, if only to see Bloomie chatting it up with Ice-T and Russell Simmons, but considering some of the soundbites that made it into today's papers we suspect that even that charm would have quickly worn off ("Welcome to City Hall, or my crib, as I like to......

Sure, you might think of Christopher Meloni as the always angry Detective Eliot Stabler on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, but he's also had some indelible roles in The Runaway Bride, Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, Wet Hot American Summer and, of course, Oz. We were perusing the official Christopher Meloni website when we found this great speech that Oz (and Homicide) creator Tom Fontana gave for him at a Human Rights......

Police are still looking for Peter Braunstein, the man suspected attacking a former co-worker in her Chelsea apartment as he disguised himself as a firefighter. Police continue to say that they believe Braunstein "is enjoying" the attention, but are concerned he may attack again. The Post reports that security at Fairchild Publications, where WWD, Details, Jane, W, and other pubs are headquarters and where he used to work, has been increased, with extra guards "at......

Various stars were at City Hall, stumping for a city tax break on film and TV production. Well, maybe the stars were more B-list, as they were Joey Pantoliano and Ice-T. But Gothamist will let Ice-T speak for all of us:"It's kind of really wack to be in Toronto shooting a New York movie. It's not cool at all."Totally not cool at all. And it's a great day for the American dream when one day......

NBC has announced that Chris Noth will be on Law & Order: Criminal Intent this January, reprising his role as Mike Logan. The last we saw Detective Mike Logan, he was investigating a murder in Staten Island that led him back to the 2-7 and Profaci, in the 1998 TV movie, Exiled, which is the only Law & Order movie to date; plus, there was Nicole Ari Parker as the murder victim's twin sister and......

Ice-T has gotten himself into a paternity suit that would be appropriate for any one of the Law & Order and programs. Remember, Ice-T played a pimp in the only Law & Order TV-movie, Exiled, that followed Detective Logan's attempt to get back to the beat in Manhattan, so Ice-T's no stranger to both sides of the law. A great Law & Order fan page. Ice-T's official website.......
