Stars of stage and screen will be rearing their boldface names on April 9th to blow out 443 candles for the boldest face of all: Billy Shakespeare. Broadway’s Michael Cerveris (Sweeney Todd), Debra Messing (Will & Grace), the esteemed Philip Bosco (Copenhagen) and other notables will perform scenes from the Bard’s plays at The Shakespeare Birthday Marathon at Hunter College’s Kaye Playhouse. But perhaps the most anticipated star at this free event is TV’s Rainn Wilson – who embodies the obsessive Dwight Schrute in The Office – as he unleashes of his Shakespearean side. (Safety goggles recommended.) Details.

Fire and Rainn on SNL
Last night Rainn Wilson (aka Dwight Schrute) hosted SNL with Arcade Fire as the musical guest (if there was ever a night to wait in line for tickets...). The two converged in the Digital Short, which took place in...an office - one of the (few) funny sketches of the night.
Video of the Day: Arcade Fire @ Judson Memorial Church
The week of Arcade Fire shows at Judson Memorial Church is over, and mostly everyone who didn't have a ticket and showed up at the venue that night, got in.
Oh, Boya, a Stolen Goya!
A painting by Goya headed to the Guggenheim from the Toledo Museum of Art was stolen last week. A "professional art transporter" was couriering the painting for the Guggenheim's "Spanish Painting: From El Greco to Picasso" show when it somehow disappeared in Scranton, Pennsylvania. If he existed, you know Dwight Schrute would be all over this.
Bobble On... Bobble On
We don't want to be collectors of knick-knacks, lest we develop a Collyer Mansion situation, but we are totally pre-ordering this Tim Gunn bobblehead. While the bobblehead does not capture Tim Gunn perfectly, the purchase is necessary in order for our Dwight Schrute bobblehead to have a friend. Plus, the bobblehead being put out by Project Runway season two Emmett McCarthy, who we will alway think of as wearing in a hot pink skater's shirt.
