Now, I am by no means a professional mixologist, or even an amateur bartender, but as Liz can attest, I’ve had my share of drinks. And I love experimenting with new ingredients, especially flavored booze. I haven’t gotten around to trying bacon vodka yet, but you dear readers will be the first to know when [...]

If you love drinking and reading about drinking (and for shame if you don’t), check out The Dizzy Fizz, one of our new favorite drinking-related websites.

Susan Sarandon has been involved in some mighty interesting projects lately. First there was Exit the King, the Broadway farce starring Sarandon and Geoffrey Rush. I’ve heard it’s good, but unless it’s free, I’ll just have to wait for the TONY highlights. Then there was her infamous appearance in Saturday Night Live’s “Motherlover,” which proved [...]

This site not only provides readers with [...]

Far from the nauseating experience you might expect after seeing Johnny Depp try in vain to disembark from the crazily rotating bar at Circus Circus in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, actual [...]

I thought I was going to die yesterday. I mean I really, seriously didn’t think I was going to make it. I told Laura she could have all of my stuff.The night before, we had attended what at first seemed like it was going to be an unfortunate party. It was located in some warehouse [...]
