We know that Giants co-owner and movie producer Steve Tisch has been trying to ramp up the star power for the Giants sidelines. After Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore and Cameron Diaz were seen at a game last fall, Tisch told the NY Times, he brings "the spices, the taste, the flavor" to the Giants (if the Giants experience were a soup; the other co-owners, the Maras, would bring the meat and potatoes). This past......

After making a big, illustrated statement on his website yesterday about not speaking another word about his underground love, too precious for the press -- Patrick Moberg talked to the New York Post. People read that newspaper Patrick! And word is the Blackbook employee who found her is going to be on Good Morning America tomorrow. Could Patraussie be next up to hit the small screen? (UPDATE: both are confirmed to be on GMA tomorrow!)......

We doubt that Naomi Campbell eats a lot of doughnuts, but the supermodel is appearing in a television commercial for the Dunkin' Donuts chain. The commercial, that we first noticed at celebrity site IDontLikeYouInThatWay, plays up Campbell's reputation as a woman with a hair-trigger temper and a violent streak. Zach Braff directed the spot.......

THEATER: The ever-diminishing returns for theater producers have conditioned many playwrights to pre-emptively cut costs by keeping their character census down. So it's nice to see Tribeca's Flea Theater making room for Mark Greenfield's new play, I.E., In Other Words. "Using highly stylized language, this Boy Meets Girl/Horatio Alger tale-gone-wild" involves thirty-three characters played by a cast of fourteen. Greenfield's sprawling canvas, which is still in previews, is stretched to accommodate "adventure, love, songs, and......

We sort of slept through this season of Saturday Night Live. Sure it had its moments, but the show still isn't what it used to be (even Rainn Wilson couldn't revive it for a night). The best thing to happen in recent years has been Andy Samberg and the Digital Shorts (what did you think of last nights? Watch it here). These broke out in 2005 with Lazy Sunday, and kept going strong in 2006......

The Ex (directed by Jesse Peretz): A Zach Braff movie wherein shlubby Zach learns how to be a real husband and a real man—haven't we seen this before in The Last Kiss, Garden State or even on Scrubs? Though The Ex might seem like retread city, with the help of a strong supporting cast, a deft script and mostly tuning out on Braff's most Braffiness, it's actually quite an entertaining flick. Braff plays Tom Reilly,......

Dear lord, it's only mid-September but already the amount of new releases flooding theaters is getting a bit overwhelming. Brian De Palma's highly anticipated adaptation of James Ellroy's novel, The Black Dahlia hits theaters this Friday. Josh Hartnett and Aaron Eckhart are Los Angeles detectives investigating an extremely grisly Hollywood murder of a young starlet in the late '40s. Hartnett's real life Girl Friday, Scarlett Johansson's also in the cast, as is Oscar winner Hilary......

IFP’s Drive-In Movies Series at Rockefeller Center returns to showcase some of the best new films before their theatrical release. Each night this week at 9:00 PM, you can catch the free movies on the 40-foot screen above the ice rink (between 49th and 50th Streets, off 5th Avenue). Remember when your friends went to see Garden State at Rockefeller last year? They kept yapping about Zach Braff and the trailer’s Frou Frou song was......

And, no, the cats are not eaten. Gothamist knows how your mind has instantly made the leap to the Far East, but, alas, it's a Meow Mix store where cats can grab a nosh. On the heels of the NY Times article a few weeks ago that revealed the Fifth Avenue (between 41st and 42nd Streets) location and menu ("Cluck-a-Doodle Doo; Fillet Meow"), the Meow Mix Cafe has finally opened. Rules of engagement: No dogs......

Gothamist doesn't normally touch on subjects like, say, New Jersey. It's the nature of our being. However, last night we found ourselves staring wide eyed and drop jawed at the film Garden State. We would like to take this time to state that Zach Braff is a genius. We admit, we haven't watched more than 2 episodes of Scrubs, but we're going to start immediately. Braff, who we understand plays some sort of goofy doctor......

There's nothing Gothamist likes free movies and a gimmick, and Rockefeller Center has both next week: Rockefeller Center is turning into a drive-in movie theater for screenings of three anticipated independent films. Garden State, directed and starring Zach Braff, co-starring Natalie Portman and Peter Saarsgard, will on Tuesday, June 8th, followed by Napoleon Dynamite (you've seen the trailer with the extremely geeky and/or mildly autistic kid in it) on Wednesday and Danny Deckchair (Rhys Ifans,......
