Gwyneth Paltrow, from Iron Man 2 to Country Strong!

November 12, 2010


 

 

Dear Gwyneth,

 

We saw you perform "Country Strong" on the CMA's and, at first glance, felt pleasantly un-offended and neutral about the whole thing.  See, we know how the country business works; we don't expect every country singer to actually BE country strong, growin' up on the farms, living for friday night lights, and letting their whiskey "make their babies, get a little frisky."

Interview with Vivo In Vivo's Creators

INTERVIEW

August 13, 2010

Vivo In Vino is an "intimate wine salon" started by our good buddies over at In Vino (who you have probably seen at all of our parties) on the Lower East Side.  The restaurant pairs some of NYC's most interesting musicians with inspiring wines for a night of listening, chatter, and... tasting.  We sat down with the brains behind the series to talk about the artists, how this all came to be, and what kind of wine they'd pair with Lil' Weezy.

 

Tell us a little bit about Vivo in Vino. Where did the idea come from? How did it all begin?

Frankie Cooks Returns, Introduces Mr. Basil

July 22, 2010

He cooks. He plays music. He dresses up. And he edited this entire video. You can't say the kid isn't talented.  It's been a while since a new episode aired on Frankie Cooks and You Can Too. Marking his return, in typical Frankie style, is an over-the-top video that you can laugh and learn from.  And you better believe that pizza tastes even better than it looks.
