INTERVIEW: Benicio Del Toro on ‘Escape at Dannemora’ and Ben Stiller

It’s tough to put my finger on exactly what it was — but for some reason, I found myself rooting for “Escape at Dannemora” to take home an Emmy last month. The limited series was nominated for 12 but came away with none. Was it because I covered the New York premiere and spoke with… Read more »

INTERVIEW: Kevin Bacon Talks Boston and ‘City on a Hill’

“Mystic River,” “Patriots Day” and now the Showtime series, “City On A Hill.” All three are set in Boston and all three include Kevin Bacon.

VIDEO: Nick Jonas Told Me 2018 Would Be ‘A Really Good Year’

Nick Jonas told me in Times Square on New Year’s Eve that 2018 would be, “a really good year.” But clearly the talented artist, who is navigating between the silver screen, the radio airwaves and the fashion runways, couldn’t have seen an engagement to Priyanka Chopra coming.

VIDEO: Why I Can’t Listen To Amy’s ‘Rehab’ The Same Way [Video]

It has been seven years since Amy Winehouse’s death and after speaking with her first manager three years ago, I can’t listen to “Rehab” the same way again. Turns out the hit was quite autobiographical; the manager, Nick Shymansky, along with others believed the artist needed help. Shymansky actually tried to admit Winehouse; the singer… Read more »
