Yesterday afternoon, President Bush's daughter Jenna was married in a sunset ceremony at the "Western White House" in Crawford, Texas. Her groom, Henry Hager, is from a "well-connected" Virginia family and had worked for Karl Rove. Bush told reporters today, "The wedding was spectacular. It was all we could have hoped for. We're mighty blessed." The White House released a few photographs and few details (it did confirm there were over 200 guests). It's......

Who knew that Laura Bush and daughter Jenna Bush's children's book tour would prompt violence? The Post reports a wheelchair-bound girl was assaulted by a Bush protester after the Bushes' 92nd Street Y appearance on Tuesday. Apparently German Tallis, 22, was protesting about Iraq and Iran, and John Lovetro said to him, "What are you doing? Shut up. This is about a child and books...Get out of here! You're being a moron!" But instead of......

Photograph of President Bush, with Vice President Dick Cheney and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi in the background, delivering the State of the Union by Ron Edmonds/AP President George Bush gave his final State of the Union address, sounding positive about his leadership but also noting that there's still more to do: "From expanding opportunity to protecting our country, we have made good progress. Yet we have unfinished business before us, and the......

Sometimes you need to clean yourself up, get serious, and move in with daddy for a few months before you head to Latin America for a new gig. The District bids Jenna Bush adios. D.C.-based television shows have an elderly audience and DCist has some suggestions to fix that. They're also throwing Butterstick the panda bear a birthday bash. Yeah, we may have a few issues with our World Cup broadcasters here, but this guy......

Houstonist reports on cross-dressing thieves and undressing educators this week. A Peeping Tom defends himself with a papaya and an outraged onlooker asks Ken Lay, "TATER TOTS OR FRIES?" Also, FEMA wants it's money back. LAist are a bug bunch of geeks. They're Star Trek geeks, David Duchovny geeks and Frank Gehry geeks. During their Cochella preview their readers reveal themselves to be Depeche Mode geeks. Seattlest saw their basketball team preparing to leave for......

December is a special time for comedians. Not only are they trying to scrape together enough money from the commercials and VH1 shows they booked this year to buy presents for their family, but it’s also Aspen audition time. The U.S. Comedy Arts Festival held in Aspen is a Mecca for comedians. Auditioning and being chosen for the USCAF and mingling with the comedy elite (past performers have included…basically everyone famous) is a career maker......

Somehow the Fringe Festival is over, though we’re not quite sure how so many shows could have flown by so quickly. Gothamist isn’t quite done with it yet, though – we still have a couple of reviews from the final weekend, plus some musings on the festival as a whole and how it’s looking at the advanced age of nine (keep reading after the jump). And before we launch into that, let’s give a......

As we head into the final weekend of FringeNYC, Gothamist finds ourselves thinking two things: First, we're incredibly surprised at how enjoyable so many of this year's Fringe festival shows have been. Certainly we have managed to attend only a fraction of the complete offerings, but as samplings go, we have to give this year's organizers some props. The second thing? We're tired. The Fringe is long festival, and we imagine the staff manning the......

As the Fringe Festival reaches its halfway point this weekend, Gothamist continues to do its best to find the shows that are actually worth your time. We would truly love to be all-Fringe-all-the-time, but it's just not possible to get to everything. Still, we persevere. We started with our preview, and then we gave you a whole slew of reviews on Monday and Wednesday, suggesting you make a concerted effort to see The Miss Education......

Gothamist spent the weekend hanging out at the Fringe. With over 1200 performances of somewhere around 180 productions happening between this past Friday and Aug. 28, there's more than enough for us to se. We caught seven shows this weekend, and the good news is, Gothamist can actually recommend over 50% of them. We know --- we're shocked too! But the fact is, if this somewhat random sampling was any indication of what the quality......

The Ninth Annual NYC Fringe Festival is now in its second day and it's probably time you took advantage of it ("But its 98 degrees outside," you say, to which we respond: its much cooler inside most of the theaters). Gothamist already gave you a peak at the shows that caught our eye, but seriously folks there are a lot of shows going on and at least a few of them are definitely worth......

Gothamist used to remember when we'd have a good idea of who would be president around dinner time. However, the very special episode of "America Picks A President" in 2000 had special guest appearances by "Hanging Chad," "James Baker," and "Overanxious Journalists Who Wanted To Call The Election." So this year, we must wait before we know who will be kicking his legs up in the White House come next January. Will it be......

It's official: Harlem is the new it-place for politicos or people with political connections. First Bill Clinton moves to 125th Street, and now Jenna Bush is applying to teach at Harlem Day Charter School on 123rd Street. No word on how the neighborhood feels. Gothamist would recommend that Jenna visit the Lenox Lounge first, as she gets acquainted with area bars. For more Harlem nightlife, here's Citysearch on Harlem bars. Also, Jenna and twin Barbara......

The Post reports that First Twin Jenna Bush will be taking a class at NYU this summer. Nice! Gothamist guesses this is will be the first time Jenna interacts with a multitude of liberal Jews and Asians, having been at UT Austin, but don't worry Jenna, like Austin, there are tons of struggling musicians here looking for girlfriends. Gothamist does feel empathy for Jenna, as she's like any young person horribly embarrassed by her father......
