::Open Mic Night at the Laff Stop:: We gotta admit, we are a little curious how a smoky, comedy club will, ahem, "stand-up" without, well, the smoke. Isn't that kinda, like, part of the ambiance? Is it unhealthly to call smoke ambiance. Hell, whatever. Since the smoking ordinace was passed (and half-ass enforced) on Sept 1st, we've noticed a few changes in some of our usual haunts. I mean, who is used to seeing 3...

This week, Phillyist saw the waters of a landmark fountain run red for a Showtime marketing stunt, the Phils pull ahead, and some serious nostalgia. They also got a chance to review an awesome tribute album, reminded folks to see the King and appreciated their beautiful skyline. Chicagoist knows what it's like to like the Cubs. But naming your kid Wrigley Fields? At least they can breathe a little easier now that Grossman's out and...

Happy first weekend of September - and happy Labor Day weekend, too, for our American cities! Let's take a look at what's been happening around the Ist-a-verse.

Boston's firefighters bent over backwards all week long - first, they fought flames pouring from the Boston Tea Party museum, and then a restaurant fire killed two and injured many more. Their efforts make everything else - like Tom...

Houston, are you having the BEST Wednesday ever? Well, if not, maybe Christian Finnegan can help. The VH1 hit gossip round up "Best Week Ever" comedian will be performing tonight at the Laff Stop on Waugh, through Saturday. Besides his star-bashing behavior on BWE, he currently is the host of TV Land’s interstitial game show “Game Time.” You also might have caught him on Comedy Central’s “Chappelle’s Show” playing “Chad,” the only white roommate in...

Via HouStoned, we see that everyone's favorite corporate scandal may be coming to the big screen soon: Leonardo DiCaprio is planning to produce and star in a film adaptation of Conspiracy of Fools, Kurt Eichenwald's book about EnronEnron's collapse. Entertainment Tonight reports that DiCaprio will play a newcomer to Enron "who discovers the corruption that leads to its bankruptcy implosion in 2001." So that would make him, what, maybe a male version of Sherron Watkins?...

Valentine's Day is only a few days away, and we here across the Gothamist network wanted to express would like to tell you, in the spirit of the holiday, just how much we love you, our readers. Don't let it get to your heads, though. There are plenty of things we love, you included. Just be glad you're not amongst the things we hate. SFist saw their beloved mayor enter rehab, and they loved the...

Gossip website (and awesome time-waster) PerezHilton.com is reporting that Beyonce is the Got Milk? campaign's biggest star.......again. (Click here for a sneak preview of the ad itself!)

Insert your own snarky...

Houstonist prides itself on...well...actually, we're not sure pride's the right word, but we sure do waste a ton of time on the internet--even on weekends when we could be out enjoying the newly-saved park. Or buying some tasty pizza with the pesos we found on our floor

. Here's the item from the NY Post:

Wednesday's installment of the Ken Lay/Jeff Skilling trial focused on Sherron Watkin's memo to Ken Lay warning of an impending financial meltdown at Enron — a memo a Houston lawyer called nothing more than "office gossip."

Princess Diana fans, take note: There's a theory afloat in England (at least at the Inquirer) that someone — a certain royal someone with jug ears, we think — is trying to rub out the memory of the princess by removing her portraits from public view. At issue is a 1981 portrait of Diana by Bryan Organ that was on display in the royal section of the National Portrait Gallery in London. A couple of weeks before Prince Charles married Camilla Parker Bowles, the portait of Di disappeared, and officials at the NPG say it's probably not coming back.
