Our buddy Max called in from the road to chat about his new single “Still New York” and next album, “House of Divine.” The LP title comes from a lyric in “Lights Down Low,” an song he wrote for and proposed to his wife with. The single is a love letter to Max’s hometown with a number of celebrity cameos in the music video, including Lin-Manuel Miranda, The Chainsmokers and yes – even yours truly.

Dax Shepard recently revealed during an interview with my friend Leigh Blickley for AOL’s BUILD Series that he pitched Michael Peña to be his co-star in the movie “CHIPS” without even meeting, let alone consulting the actor first. That’s certainly a break from the Hollywood-norm; so were the comments Shepard made about Los Angeles while chatting in NoHo.
“No ma’am,” Shepard responded to Blickley when she asked if the two had met prior to filming the comedy. “But we did have a very romantic, blind date breakfast at Café 101 in Hollywood, if you’re ever there.
“I know you all hate Hollywood here in New York, but it’s a great place to woo an actor.”
I mean, it’s not that I hate Hollywood. It’s just that I’d rather have four seasons, more efficient public transportation, honest people, a faster pace, my bodega that’s open 24 hours on Seamless and the Yankees.
OK fine Dax, maybe I hate Hollywood too. But I appreciate your cognizance.
Paul Jason Klein, Les Priest and Jake Goss comprise LANY, a trio that formed in Nashville but is the namesake of combining the initials for Los Angeles and New York. Klein, in his other job as a model, lived in Brooklyn for 6 months.

Without further ado, the season one finale of “2 Slices & A Story” wherein I have a seat with… Chris Hansen, host of “Crime Watch Daily.” Thank you for all of your support with this project and stay tuned to find out what we have in store for season two!
East Brunswick N.J.’s JAX stopped by to chat about her new single “La La Land,” her trip to MSG to see Billy Joel, how she feels about her time on “American Idol,” and what she has planned for 2016!
I can’t thank Vinnie Politan and the crew at CNN Headline News “Prime News” enough for inviting me back for the second time within a week! Vinnie brings a new vibe to that show, one that I think is more conducive to having a younger guy like me on as a guest. Once again I helped to comprise a panel that gave it’s opinions on a number of different stories.
The topics ranged from the women pay gap to weight discrimination, and a new vodka/gym partnership.
