Kate Hudson looks absolutely amazing in this month’s Harpers Bazaar, but it is this photo that epitomizes why I love her (and so think we’d be friends, in real life). Just her, being goofy, with her kid, in Katz’s Deli wearing some totally fabulous dress. She’s just the kind of person I can’t help but always want to root for, ever since those Almost Famous days…

 Love everything about this photo, love her, love Almost Famous and love love Katz’s Deli.

Crazy Heart.

Great review by A.O. Scott on what looks like a stellar flick.  This and Emily Blunt’s “Young Victoria” are both on my to-do list for this weekend.  Has anyone heard anything on either yet? Or want to join me? :)

Last night I had the pleasure of dining with a girlfriend at the new Italian spot, corinso, owned by Lupa partner Jason Denton.  Not only is the ambience warm and inviting, located right on my dream block in the West Village (Hudson and Horatio) - but the food was outstanding. And best of all, the $10 glasses of wine were in fact really two glasses of wine…as they came with a full glass and a carafe to re-fill your glass after your first go-around.  Amazing! 

Also important to note - they played GREAT music, and you could enjoy it while still being able to hear your dinner companion well, despite it and the other diners.  It was a great spot for a catch-up dinner…affordable drinks and you can hear one another, two key factors which are often hard to find in this city at a downtown restaurant.

We started our meal with two of the crostini (one with brussel sprouts and pecorino, the other with cannellini beans and artichoke - both equally delicious) and a scrumptious parmesan risotto croquette, which I could have eaten a million of they were so good.  We then shared a side of brussel sprouts, Tagliatelli with lamb ragu and Heritage Brisket Meatballs with tomato and pecorino.  The portions for each were very large compared to some other Italian restaurants with similar menus in the city - and I couldn’t get enough of any of it. 

We finished the meal with the Tiramisu, which was some of the best I’ve ever had.  It truly melted in your mouth, YUM! 

If you’re looking for an Italian spot downtown where you can get a good glass of wine - that’s affordable and delicious, be sure to check out corsino ASAP.  You won’t be disappointed!

John Mayer ripping it on Human Nature.

The man can make the guitar cry.

It’s been like 6 months and I am still jocking this video. His expressions. His mouth. The fucking music. Lord Have Mercy. 

 This is amazing.  Don’t know why I haven’t seen this before.

Sing off.

I’m watching the first night of the four nigh special “Sing off” on NBC.  Anyone else watching?  As a Glee fan….I have to admit, I like it so far.

But I did manage to write the most vicious, hateful, and angry single chapter of my life. It’s like riding a bike. You never forget.
