The 84th Academy Awards are just around the corner, and that can only mean one thing: socially acceptable Sunday night boozin’. After all, real film fans don’t casually sip champagne as Hollywood’s biggest night winds its way to its inevitable conclusion sometime around midnight. They pound their drinks to dull…

Admit it: You have a weakness for The Biggest Loser. It’s only natural. The show’s a perfect blend of schadenfreude and fitness inspiration. But when the show ends and you’re still comfortably wedged into your couch with a bag of Cheetos next to you, that inspiration disappears into thin air.Why…

Witty banter: It’s what keeps Bruce Vilanch employed annually, and the rest of us entertained during awards shows between our own snide remarks about the stars’ hideous fashion choices. But presenters don’t always stick to the script, and some winners can get a bit too excited. Before you know it,…
Even if you don’t support President Barack Obama, it’s pretty obvious the man loves you — along with the rest of Miami. The Prez touches down in the Magic City today, marking the second time this year alone and the soulful serenader’s 14th stop in South Florida since his inauguration.Hey,…
When Joe DeSena started the first “Spartan Race” in Pittsfield, Vermont, about eight years ago, he had no idea it would become an international phenomenon drawing 300,000 plus people.Nor did the former Wall Street exec/pool cleaning company owner/exercise fanatic know he would be jamming Oleta River State Park this weekend…
