Perhaps it was the near-freezing temperatures at yesterday's Jets-Browns game that kept breasts covered, but that weather didn't stop crowds from flocking to Gate D at Giants Stadium for a halftime ritual - men yelling at women to expose their breasts and throwing bottles or spitting at them if they don't. Despite an attempt to shut down rowdy fan behavior at Gate D, things didn't seem to change that much at all since new procedures......

D is for drunk and disorderly, not boobs and breasts. At least according to New Jersey State Senator Richard Codey. The Times first reported yesterday on the halftime events at Gate D at Giants Stadium during Jets games. Hundreds of fans gather on the exit ramp, chanting at women and encouraging them to expose their breasts. If they don't lift their shirts, the women are met with boos and sometimes are spit at or have......

In 2005 Barbara Walters mentioned her distaste for public breastfeeding on The View and was met at the show's studio with "lactivists" protesting her statement. The NY Press reported that the "lactivists" (the New York City Breastfeeding Promotion and BABE - the Brooklyn Alliance for Breastfeeding Empowerment) were back Friday packed in to a southbound A train at noon. The groups carried signs that read “La leche materna es el mejor alimento” and “Breast milk......

The nicer the weather gets, the busier we get across the Ist-A-Verse. But we like being busy. Here's a peek at what we've been up to since last week! Chicagoist had an interview with Audrey Niffenegger, whose popular book, The Time Traveler's Wife, was based in their fine city. They also had a heated discussion about Rush Limbaugh's controversial Barack Obama parody, talked about whether Uncle Julio's Hacienda is a good place to get......

Grindhouse (directed by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino): Directors and friends Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez really love old movies, particularly the exploitation B movies of '70s with their silly fake violence and boobs galore. They've crafted a three hour, double feature homage to their favorite genre called Grindhouse, which starts with Rodriguez's chemical weapon zombies on Planet Terror, takes a brief intermission with some fake "prevue" shorts and ends with Tarantino's car chase/girl's revenge......

Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: "crack in wall of building" in Williamsburg, three alarm fire on West 65th, and an overturned truck on Park Avenue. Just what the meatpacking district needs: dirty bingo. "A Queens man is suing his ex-girlfriend for $1 million, claiming she just used him to get pregnant before running off with a man who was better endowed." Like that's never happened to you! Is Matzoh made in a converted schoolbus......

It's that time of the year again: When Hollywood honors its moviemaking the way it knows (and not always in equitable ways, given that Alfred Hitchcock nor Robert Altman, to name a few, have never won Directing Oscars) and America gets to watch hours of pre-show hosted by idiots. Giving commentary for Gothamist this year, Karen Wilson, Margaret Harper, and Jen Chung. 7:06PM First thoughts: Gael Garcia Bernal is so cute. Ryan Seacrest is an......

A lawsuit claiming a hostile work environment at NY1 makes the station sound more like a frat house and not the scrappy channel New Yorkers know and love! The Post reports that Adele Sammarco claims she was fired after numerous complaints about being harassed. Here's a rundown:- Former reporter Jeff Simmons (now press secretary for William Thompson) "manipulated a picture of her by adding giant breasts, and the photo was then plastered all over the......

Walking to the post office this afternoon, we noticed that the huge Michael Chemiakin sculpture in front of the Mimi Fritz gallery was gone, leaving only a rusted square on the pavement to mark its passing. The sculpture, "Cybele, the Goddess of Fertility", had been in front of the gallery on Prince between Greene and Wooster for as long as we can remember. On the weekends it is a huge hit with tourists-- who......

Ever since the Apple store on Fifth Avenue opened its glass doors to the public we knew that eventually somebody was going to throw a story around about its similarities to the Kaaba in Mecca. And so we weren't really at all surprised when we saw this story in the Post today. We were, however, impressed with whomever wrote the articles hed: "QAEDA CUBE BOOBS 'MECCA' BIG STINK." Sadly, the story is pretty much......

If you have a weak stomach, feel free to move along. Star Jones allayed the fears of her numerous fans yesterday when she called into The View and told her co-hosts that she's doing OK. For those of you that don't know, Jones had a breast lift and implants on March 17th. The 44 year-old Jones said her "boobs think they're still 20." Excuse us while we wipe the vomit from our mouths. Since Star's......

One of our readers left us a link to the picture above on our Contribute page, along with this comment: Can you start a campaign encouraging coke whores like these to leave the homeless alone? Or at least call out these stupid girls like peter bruanstein or the subway flasher. Your wish is answered: we are calling these girls out to explain themselves. And come on-- to the nice people behind Last Night's Parties,......

Just in case you had to actually go to work today (shouldn't Halloween be a national holiday?) we've taken the time to screencap the annual Today Show halloween buffonery. Award for best costume definitely goes to Ann Curry, who makes a fairly convincing Audrey Hepburn. Note to Katie Couric: you need bigger boobs to pull off Marilyn Monroe! And we think it's demeaning that Al Roker has to be Robin-- why couldn't he have......

Gothamist hates the NY Post just a little more in our love-hate relationship with the dishy tabloid, because of this story:The demanding diva announced yesterday on live TV that she's willing to undergo elective surgery to have her breasts enlarged because her new husband, Al Reynolds, "cares about boobs." She wants, "a little lift, they're saggy," Jones told viewers on yesterday's edition of "The View."It's NOT news, unless the Post is trying to make sure......

A Manhattan judge ruled that an insurance company had to pay the $5,000 it cost to reduce an 18 year-old's breasts. The decision was made public yesterday, giving the Post and Daily News opportunity to look up "bilateral gynecomastia," the hormonal imbalance the boy suffered from. The judge wrote, "In order to avoid the great embarrassment and suffering he endured when ridiculed by his peers, [the teen] never swam, went to the beach or engaged......

This past weekend was the Mermaid Parade in Coney Island, and the weather held out for the wild creativity of slinky sea-inspirsed couture. NY1 had a great quote from one onlooker: "The costumes are crazy. There are boobs everywhere. It wouldn't be the Mermaid Parade without them. Newsday leads their article with a chesty description: "Marlena Zaps and her two friends sloshed along Surf Avenue yesterday, their breasts covered by an elaborate contraption: clear fish......

If it involves movies or television, Gothamist is interested. And if it's the tiniest bit related to the Oscars, then we're all over it. That's why Gothamist has produced a Golden Globes commentary similar to our Oscar commentary from last year. Yes, awards shows are self-congratulatory and ridiculous, and the Golden Globes are not a reliable predictor of the Oscars (which aren't that great anyway but their usefulness as a marketing tool cannot be denied),......

All the talk about Charlie's Angels Full Throttle being about female empowerment is a joke, because it's just about a bunch of girls being silly and their T&A. Of course Gothamist knew that, but the evidence is too overwhelming not to comment on. For starters, a painful-to-read interview by Sean Smith of Newsweek, with the Angels, Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, and Lucy Liu. Here's a sample: BARRYMORE: It is gold. DIAZ and LIU: [Loudly, imitating......

According to Page Six: "Our item about low morale at the Wall Street Journal hit a nerve. One staffer e-mailed us: "To say that morale is low here is an insult to companies with bad morale. I think you'd be hard pressed to find an employee happy to be here.
