Do you think the Williamsburg population loves the Spin Doctors ironically, or unironically at this point? Like, probably some of the people who moved in to the fancy waterfront condos brought Pocket Full of Kryptonite with them, right? Either way, the Spin Doctors are coming for you, Brooklyn, with a show at Brooklyn Bowl where they'll play that very album in its entirety. more ›

Director Alex Gibney's untitled, work-in-progress Eliot Spitzer documentary will be screened during the Tribeca Film Festival this weekend, and the movie's star may be in the audience, the film's publicists tell Politico. We can't imagine why he'd want to sit through an exposé on the prostitution scandal that ended his administration, but then again, we can't believe he agreed to talk about the scandal on camera for the documentary, either. But sources close to Spitzer say it's all part of his plan to run for office again. more ›

Former NY1 political pundit Dom Carter has started his comeback. After being convicted of misdemeanor assault for "punching, choking, and kicking" his wife, getting hit with a 30-day sentence, and losing his TV show, the newsman has begun blogging. more ›

Former Giants star Plaxico Burress swears he will return to the NFL after he is released from prison, and insists "it will be like I never left." During his first interview since being sentenced to two years in prison for shooting himself in the leg with an unlicensed handgun, the wide receiver stated: "Being in here I have time to think about how I want to be seen when I get out. I want to be better." more ›

Call it a comeback. Following the announcement that Polaroid cameras and film would be gone forever and ever and never return; and following every hipster in town eating up the film on eBay to document their party nights ever-so-nostalgically; and following Urban Outfitters temporarily stocking them... Polaroid is returning! Cameras and film will be on sale by mid-2010, or you can try to buy this special kit on the 16th for the not-so-old-timey price of $430. more ›

Eliot Spitzer may not be calling his recent forays back into the public sphere part of his comeback campaign, but now he's on the cover of Newsweek (cover headline: "How Could I?"), so it's official: The Steamroller is back. more ›

Politico tackles former governor Eliot Spitzer's recent forays back in the public and declares, "If there’s a textbook for scandal-scarred politicians on the art of the recovery, Spitzer has surely read it; if there isn’t, he might consider penning one." A Democratic consultant, Celinda Lake, explains, "The American public really believes in second chances [as long as you] don’t argue with them about the fact that you are guilty — and you pay a price," while Republican strategist Mark McKinnon says, "The truth is, voters are actually pretty forgiving. As long as you fall on your sword, crawl over broken glass and wear black for a year." Eh, maybe, but Hookergate aside, there was still Troopergate. more ›

Board up your windshields and lock yourself in the trunk: The squeegee men—those Giuliani-era poster boys for quality-of-life crime—are making a comeback according to the Post, which has an alarming article about the "pests." Of which there are four. But be afraid! They're congregating near the entrance to the Lincoln Tunnel, and a Hells Kitchen elevator manager tells the tabloid, "They get very aggressive. I was like, 'Dude, don't even think about it!'" The Post finds business booming, even though police have arrested several squeegee men at the location. But at least one of them is still haunted by Giuliani's crackdown (which actually began under NYPD commissioner Ray Kelly during the Dinkins administration); he implored the reporter not to publish the article because "Giuliani will lock my ass up. There will be 30 cops up and down this street." more ›
