Dennis Farina, two seasons as Detective Joe Fontana on Law & Order, was arrested at LAX Airport when security found a loaded .22-caliber pistol in his briefcase. Oops!

add to facebookNew York City, which has very high cigarette taxes, has filed a complaint against Otamedia, which has had trouble with tobacco giant Philip Morris for selling cigarettes online. Mayor Bloomberg wanted people to "blow the whistle" on the local bodegas that sell them ciggies without tax. And here's the city's Everybody Loves A Quitter program to stop smoking.

The new fall TV season has started, and it's almost as if Gothamist didn't notice. We can't say for sure if it's that we're used to the hundreds of cable channels that are catered to our whims, our love for DVDs, or spending too much time blogging, but the new fall season just seems like a formality. Seinfeld came on in the midseason, as did Twin Peaks; Melrose Place was the first big summer premiere in the 90s, and now HBO has taken the idea of seasons and thrown them out the door. Nah, what we liked best about the new season so far are the withering reviews, like this bit from Brian Lowry's Variety review of Jack and Bobby (registration required): "Jack, it becomes clear, will toughen Bobby, while Bobby's gentleness provokes warmth and protectiveness in his older brother. (This will come as news to younger brothers such as myself, who were regularly used as circus props and battering rams.)" Surprisingly, the Washington Post's Tom Shales liked Heather Locklear and Blair Underwood in LAX, calling it "good trash." Gothamist preferred low culture's take on other venues for airport TV drama.

How to pack for a trip and how baggage handling works. Plus, there's been other thieving at the airport.

The new line-up also includes a boxing reality show (zzzz), a show starring Melissa Etheridge's wife, the Americano version of The Office, a sitcom with John Cho (starred in Better Luck Tomorrow but is better known as one of the MILF guys from American Pie), and a show called Medical Investigations with a young and sexy cast but it just sounds like Diagnosis Murder to us. And while Friends spin-off Joey seems dubious (in spite of the good buzz NBC is trying to "leak"), we must give NBC's marketing department for releasing this photo from the show, to help American think "Well, it's Matt LeBlanc as Joey Tribbiani - and there will be hot girls in a tight clothes - we're on board!" Actually, NBC showed an entire episode of Joey, which surprised the Daily News' David Bianculli with how good it was; apparently Drea de Matteo, as Joey's sister, makes him feels her boob job. Even if it's good, it's going to be a long fall. But in the good news, Scrubs was renewed for another two seasons, and there's a new drama, LAX, starring Heather Locklear. For that, Gothamist is thankful, because TV without Heather Locklear just doesn't seem like TV.

We didn't want it to be this way, but Gothamist must post this photograph of Renee Zellweger at LAX that was in the Post today. The Post notes that she seems perhaps "voluptuous", making us all the more crazy that our society is obsessed with celebrity weight and that we are contributing to that. But our stance is that Renee should keep some of the weight that she's gained for the second Bridget Jones movie that she's filming now. She looks good now, versus skeletony and totally flat at the Oscars. We're wondering if the Thai prison subplot of the book is included and worry that she'll waste away into nothingness for that part.
