Actor James Marsden has made a career out of portraying the "Ralph Bellamy" role, as the guy who every leading lady dumps or treats as second banana: he was dumped by Rachel McAdams in The Notebook, he was jilted by Amy Adams in Enchanted, he was forced to raise Superman's kid in Superman Returns, and even as Cyclops, he was a background player in his featured love triangle with Jean Grey and Wolverine in the original X-Men trilogy (though we have been told that he did get Katherine Heigl in 27 Dresses). But at least he has one thing to fall back on: he sings ok! more ›

Earlier this month, five Brooklyn high school girls were accused of beating up a fellow classmate with a padlock inside a sock. According to 17-year-old victim Shacara McLaurin, the vicious beating was fueled by jealousy over an upcoming talent show. Now a few weeks later, she's talking about the un-Gleeful experience: "I had a knot in my head. A gash in my head. A gash by my ear which caused me to get six stitches. And I suffered a lot of pain and now I'm not able to hear well," she told ABC. more ›

Last year, nine Massachusetts teens were hit with a variety of felony charges after they cyber-bullied a girl who committed suicide. But when NYC teens want to bully each other, they skip the computer and go straight for the padlock inside a sock. Five Brooklyn high school girls are accused of beating up a fellow classmate in a Glee-Gone-Wrong attack: "I wasn't able to open my jaw. I wasn't able to talk. I wasn't able to sing," said 17-year-old victim Shacara McLaurin. more ›

With the return of Mad Men not happening for at least four months (they're not even in production yet), we'll take any shred of the Sterling-Cooper troupe we can get... even if it comes in the form of a drunken, out-of-tune, cast and crew sing-a-long of "Bye Bye Birdie" (a song featured last season). Sadly, as NYMag points out, Christina Hendricks and Bryan Batt don't make an appearance... which is possibly made up for by Elisabeth Moss texting in her Peggy Olson wardrobe. more ›

Heads up, delivery men and women: It's not enough anymore to just dash up the stairs to our apartments (being careful not to get mugged or killed on the way) and deliver our food in a timely manner. These days, people expect a little more show biz, a little more razzle dazzle. (In the musical theater world, it's called "eyes, tits and teeth.") Well, whatever you call it, this kid's got it. China Fun singing deliveryman Yang Yu Bao may be serenading Upper West Siders now, but it's only a matter of time before he's delivering dinner to the biggest theaters on Broadway. more ›

If you spend enough time in Williamsburg, sooner or later you'll be passed by a man driving a red Subaru, blasting oldies and singing along at the top of his voice. That's just how Anthony Delia, aka Subaru Dude, rolls. Filmmaker Russel Fong recently rode around with Delia for Free Williamsburg, and the guy is exactly as ebullient as we always hoped. Take a look at Hipsterville through his happy eyes: more ›

Zoe no! Today the Times talks to Zooey Deschanel, along with her 500 Days of Summer co-star Joseph Gordon-Levitt, whom the paper says really "enjoy one another’s company." What do they share in common? A desire to shit on the Big Apple apparently! Zooey tells the paper, “I think there are so many films that romanticize New York in that way, but it’s not like a perfect city. It’s dirty, and if you blow your nose, there’s dirt coming out.” Apparently the smog sneezes are squeaky clean in Zooey's hometown of LA, where the film is set. Up next is Gordon-Levitt, who says, “I didn’t really start to appreciate what was beautiful or aesthetically pleasing about L.A. until I moved to New York when I was 19. I’d come back to visit, and I’d be like: ‘You know what? There’s something really nice about driving through the canyons and singing as loud as I want, alone in my car.’ ” Well who's stopping you, ya alien twerp? Back when Zooey talked to Gothamist, she told us, "I love New York. I've worked there a lot and I feel really comfortable there." Maybe reenacting famous local bloody death scenes has made someone a little Gotham germophobic. more ›

Someone's been bringing their parrot to Riverside Park, near the 79th Street boat basin, to entertain passerby—and one spectator has just posted this video! more ›

At least it's not the Scientologist's with their stress tests. This group of Mennonites were spotted singing to straphangers at the Broadway stop today, and it's not the first time. They've been singing down there for years, here's a video from 2007. The group is most likely local and from the Manhattan Mennonite Fellowship... but do they have a permit? more ›
