In case you hadn’t heard, I’m officially in my Jim Parsons era. We’re basically destined to be BFFs…We were born at the same hospital in Houston on March 24 (exactly 7 years apart) and both went on to graduate from the University of Houston. Our lives obviously took very, very different turns from there. Like…

While I still haven’t fully recovered from the unbelievable lineup of shows I hit over the course of one jam-packed week earlier this month, I need to share the highlights with y’all right now. My winning streak started with the first preview of Summer, 1976, starring Laura Linney and Jessica Hecht. The draw for me…

Prepare yourselves for one of the most Jason Bateman-centric weeks we’ve had on deck in a long time! We’re in for a super stacked lineup in the Jason universe (think of it like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, only revolving around Jason and his work), ranging from screen to stage.

While I waited outside the Good Morning America studios in Times Square almost a year ago to stake out a pre-work Jason Bateman sighting as he promoted the final season of Ozark, I had a lot of time to myself and my thoughts during those wee morning hours. As I listened to Smartless to set…
If the month of February had a color palette, I think we can all agree it’d be 50 shades of red…the color of love. Walk into any store leading up to Valentine’s Day, and you’re bombarded with red decor galore and heart-shaped versions of everything from candy and cookies (of course) to makeup (sure) to…
Happy New Year! Hard to believe it’s already February, and I’m just now sitting down to reflect on my 2022. It’s my own fault, of course…there’s always something happening somewhere in NYC, and it’s hard not to get caught up in the constant FOMO of it all. So this year, one of my goals is…
Jason Bateman hit the NYC talk show scene hard last week to promote the upcoming Ozark series finale. Starting with an appearance at Good Morning America, he unexpectedly ended up at The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon later that day. And then the cast and crew of Ozark gathered at Paris Theater for a premiere event Thursday night.
Last month, I snagged a rush ticket to one of the many, highly anticipated shows hitting Broadway this spring, Second Stage Theater’s production of Take Me Out. A revival of the Tony-Award winning play by Richard Greenberg, I wasn’t overly familiar with the storyline beyond the blurb I read online while grabbing by ticket. Even…

At this point, I’d label myself a Swiftie. Taylor Swift definitely has my heart. Not only are her melodies catchy little earworms, but she’s also such a phenomenal lyricist. I’m constantly in awe of the way she puts her thoughts and feelings into words. Here are a handful of my favorites: “And you call me…
Don’t sleep on your local bookstore for author events and book signings! I attended two memorable events last month through bookstores, big and small. Earlier this week, I went to the first in-person event since Covid at the Barnes & Noble in Union Square…and y’all, it was a winner! The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon…
