We almost thought that the NY Post website was offering a game of "Which one of these things is not like the other?" But it turns out that celebrities Christina Aguilera, Nicole Richie, Courtney Thorne-Smith and David Alan Grier all had babies. The four babies - two boys (from Aguilera and Thorne-Smith) and two girls (Richie's and Grier's) - were born at Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai, the hospital where Britney Spears was recently hospitalized and......

Professional golf is coming to Manhattan. Of course, it's on Governor's Island, only 9 holes, and it's a pro-am tournament which will feature professional women and Hollywood actors. The tournament, dubbed The Manhattan Golf Classic and scheduled for October 22nd, will be on the only golf course in all of Manhattan. Scenes from the tournament will surely be beautiful. With the historic buildings on the island, the Brooklyn and the Manhattan skyline as backdrops, the......

International cinema circles may be buzzing today about the announced line-up of films at this year's Cannes Film Festival but for those of us who won't be walking the Croisette in May, there's still plenty to be excited about movie-wise. Here's a few suggestions for your moviegoing this weekend. Mandy Moore, Dennis Quaid and Hugh Grant yuck it up in Chris Weitz's new satire American Dreamz about an American Idol type competition and the bonehead......

Gothamist was a bit underwhelmed by this year's Golden Globe nominees, and we were thinking of not liveblogging. But, gosh darn it as we watched the E! preshow and saw the starlets sparkle their way down the red carpet, we realize it was hopeless, so here we are. Let it be known that: - Keira Knightley looks gorgeous in her white Valentino - and there's something surprisingly youthful about the dress, even though there's that......

At the end of the year, some distribution companies will sneak a movie into one or two theaters in New York and Los Angeles to make them eligible for that year's release schedule before they're released nation-wide in January. Thus, New Yorkers get our very own extended advance screening of little gems like the Weitz brother's newest In Good Company, where we can say "nyah-nyah" to the rest of the country, because we saw it......

The Hollywood Reporter is running a series of articles about how great New York is for film and TV production. One of them, Location report: New York, gives us some interesting information: "The original "L&O" has contributed more than $650 million to the city during 672 weeks of regular production spanning nearly 15 years." Wow! And that's just ONE of the Law & Order shows. Katherine Oliver, the Film, Theatre and Broadcasting Commissioner, says......

Thermometers have only been around for about 300 years. How do we know what the climate was before there were meteorological instruments? Paleoclimatologists, whether played by Dennis Quaid, Randy Quaid or someone else, need to study natural phenomena that depend on climate and preserve the climate dependency in their structure. When it snows, it is not just snow that falls on the ground. Dust, pollen, the constituents of the air such as carbon dioxide and......

Gothamist admits to being part of the mass of unwitting Americans who decided to see The Day After Tomorrow two days before yesterday. And, yes, it might be the stupidest movie since the Roland Emmerich Godzilla. Besides getting distracted by the usual the moviemakers-are-deliberately-making-this-annoying-for-NYers moments ("Why are Dennis Quaid and Dash Mihok, former boyfriend of Alanis Morrisette, suddenly on the frozen-over East River, when they were just near the Statue Liberty - wouldn't it have......

First things first: you could still probably brunch today without getting wet. Weather.com says the showers won't start until around 1PM. Plus, there don't seem to be any thunderstorms headed our way; "few showers" will become "showers" that give way to "rain." So if you've been following the wild Midwest severe storm outbreak with pangs of excitement, today will probably disappoint. This should be a pretty big week for Gothamist Weather. Hurricane season starts tomorrow,......

Gothamist can't help it: News that Ken Watanabe is joining the cast of Batman: Intimidation as villain Ra's Al Ghul does make us excited, as does the news of the rest of the cast: Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Michael Caine as butler Alfred, Katie Holmes as childhood friend "Rachel," Liam Neeson as Wayne's mentor Henri Ducard, Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox, "a former board member and sidelined employee of Wayne Enterprises," Cillian Murphy as......

You have to hand it to Sharon Stone. She might be crazy, she might be annoying, she might make really stupid movie decisions, she might be emasculating, but she is a dame through and through. Like wearing a dress to throw out the first pitch for a Dodgers game. She knows how to work the press, and for that, we applaud her. When Gothamist worked on a press junket with her, where various press outlets......

With last week's release of Seabiscuit, the Palm Beach Post's sports writers come up a list of the best sports movies ever made. Not surprisingly, the list skews towards more recent films, but Gothamist was surprised to see how much we agreed with the selections. We were especially glad that Hoop Dreams, one of the best films ever made, period, made the list, thereby not getting the short shrift for being a documentary. The top......

This is actor Dennis Haysbert, President Palmer on the Fox TV show 24 and in the upcoming "Far From Heaven" with Julianne Moore and Dennis Quaid. He has some resemblance to Chief Moose. http://us.imdb.com/Name?Haysbert,+Dennis......
