Jesus Christ, GQ, just shut up already. Last week you declared Brooklyn "The Coolest City On The Planet" and name-checked a whole bunch of restaurants that waterfront trust-funders take their parents to when they're visiting from Westchester. Now—though we hoped against hope that they wouldn't—the magazine has released their "Nightlife" follow-up, in a bold bid to ruin the institution that Brooklynites hold dearest: drinking. more ›

In this month's hyper-cutting-edge GQ, food writer Alan Richman (and a few others) proudly announce "Brooklyn is the Coolest City on the Planet," (even if it's 11th worst-dressed in the U.S.) and offer an "Eater's Guide" to the city borough. Upon seeing the article, Brooklyn promptly curled up into a ball and drank itself into a blind stupor with handcrafted Negronis. more ›

An ideal listicle touches on matters of objective taste in an entertaining but also informative way, using credible evidence to back up an opinion. GQ's newest list of the "40 Worst-Dressed Cities in America" ignores this tenet and eschews photos of normal people dressing poorly for stills from movies, popular culture, and football stadiums. more ›

GQ Magazine has a surprisingly intimate interview with Mayor Bloomberg in their latest December issue, which celebrates their Men of the Year, including actor Jeff Bridges, Stephen Colbert and rapper Drake. While Bloomberg denies (yet again) that he's considering running for President, he does engage in a little Presidential criticism: "The president, I think, needs some better advisers. He campaigns "I'm gonna do A," and then he doesn't do it. Now he's pissed off the supporters and the opponents," he said of President Obama. And today, Bloomberg had a suggestion of who those new better advisers could be: Business people. more ›

Earlier this week Ralph Lauren was accused of some over-the-top Photoshopping in their ads, and now it appears GQ has given Betty Draper a digital boob job. Mad Men's January Jones graces the magazine's November issue, and NYMag accuses them of "artificial enhancement by way of Photoshop." What do you think? We don't want to know what they'd do if Joan Holloway were on the cover! more ›

Jets rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez's photo spread in GQ was released this week, and naturally his teammates couldn't pass up the opportunity to remind of it. The NY Times reports that images from the spread were plastered all over the locker room. "They particularly liked the shot of Sanchez on the beach, the rookie quarterback turned model lifeguard, and they decided to call him David Hasselhoff, a nod to the former 'Baywatch' actor." And tackle Kris Jenkins suggested that Sanchez and Kerry Rhodes do a male model walk-off a la Zoonlander, "We need to determine the prettiest male in this locker room." Even coach Rex Ryan was somewhat approving, "[Sanchez's photos look] much better than most of our guys would. Let’s just be happy it was him and not some of our linemen.” As for his skills on the field, Sanchez was 1 for 4 in practice yesterday. more ›

USC quarterback Mark Sanchez made a splash when he was the number 5 NFL draft pick last month—and now he's doing it this month with a photo spread in GQ magazine. The new Jets player is modeling swimwear (not kissing mirrors, the way A-Rod did in Details), though he did say about one pair, "I wouldn’t necessarily be caught in those shorts." more ›

When we were 12 years old all we cared about was our noble quest to rescue Princess Zelda from the evil Ganon; little David Fishman is already writing restaurant reviews for GQ. What is wrong kids these days? You may recall the bile that creeped up your throat when you first read about Richman's absolutely adorable habit of critiquing restaurants in his li'l diary. When your parents are well-connected Upper West Siders, it's the sort of thing that gets you a NY Times profile, a CBS Early Show segment (video), then a movie deal, then a beat down by frustrated bloggers still living with roommates in their 30s. Well, now Fishman's gotten published in GQ, in the column space where dining critic Alan Richman usually opines. Richman was inspired to take Fishman to four star seafood restaurant Le Bernardin after chef Eric Ripert talked a bit of trash about the precocious gourmand, saying, "Let's not glorify kids who are going to break our balls. This is not fair. Hopefully, when he's 18 and writing officially, I'll be retired." But despite being disappointed by the octopus, Fishman's guest-review is highly favorable, though he "realized with a pang how much it hurt to be mesmerized by a chef who hates me." Get used to it, kid. more ›

Reportedly the Hudson News shop in Grand Central Terminal has "censored" the latest issue of GQ, whose cover features a photo of Jennifer Aniston posing with strategically-placed hands and nothing but a tie. Folio reports, "The popular newsstand has placed a piece of paper across the issue in its window display. Copies inside the store, however, remain uncovered." They harken back to June of 2006 when the store covered up an issue of FHM featuring Brooke Hogan (incidentally the following 4 issue covers were also covered up). NYMag assumes in the most recent case that Hudson News is simply on Team Angie, but Folio points out that in the case of the Hogan cover, the issue "sold over 400,000 copies on newsstands, well above its 350,000 average." Perhaps Hudson News is just keeping in mind the kids visiting the Transit Museum annex's train show? more ›
