The cast of Jersey Shore—some of the most fascinating people of 2010 (we did it America!)—are in talks with MTV about another season of the reality show. According to the NY Post, "the cast are all about to start talks for a new season. Producers want to film in Miami again next spring, and they want to lock the cast down now." more ›

The Giants and the Jets will both play in their new stadium on opening week, though the G-Men will play first. After tense negotiations between the teams, Commissioner Roger Goodell flipped a coin and decided that the Giants will take the field first at the new Meadowlands Stadium on Sunday, Sept. 12, according to the Star Ledger. The following evening, the Jets will play the season's first "Monday Night Football" game in the stadium. The Giants wanted the first game because the Jets had the final regular season game at the old stadium, and the Jets wanted it because they felt like "second-class citizens in Giants Stadium," the Post reports. The stadium might host the Superbowl in 2014. more ›

The Met opened its season last night with Puccini's Tosca, by risk-taking Swiss-born director Luc Bondy. But opera is no place for risks, and according to the Times, the well-heeled audience booed the hell out of Bondy when he emerged at curtain call.

Broadway is suffering, people! This summer attendance was down 9.3%, compared with the same period a year ago. Even with more expensive tickets, box office grosses were down 2.9%, to just under $290.9 million. So producer Ken Davenport isn't just being a drama queen when he tells Crain's, "We have far fewer butts in seats, and that concerns me. This summer wasn't good, and we're on target for a drop at the end of this season." Davenport produced four shows on Broadway last season but this fall he's only doing one—David Mamet's Oleanna, a two-hander starring Bill Pullman and Julia Stiles. Other producers are hoping celebs like Daniel Craig, Jude Law, and, ugh, Catherine Zeta-Jones can bring the butts back. more ›

The Coney Island that you know and love, um, sans Astroland, is back for one more season.

New York is in the midst of graduation season, when freshly minted scholars don cap and gown to accept sheepskins and jobs they will probably remember as their most demeaning. But first they'll have the opportunity to ingest the wisdom of their commencement speakers. Also, it's an opportunity to get on TV and be tackled by security guards. David Letterman ran a top-ten list of signs that you have a bad commencement speaker. Shockingly, no mention of whether the speaker's name rhymed with Gov. Nelliot Schvitzer. more ›
