Photos by G. Gary Oldman and Geoffrey Dicker Gary Oldman is a class act! The actor was in New York to speak at the Walter Reade Theater for "An Evening With Gary Oldman" on February 8, 2012. He's been in so many great movies and his versatility as an actor shines through in every performance. He spoke about how he finds the rhythm of the characters he portrays, which he said is very musical to him as he figures it out. He also spoke about being in the Batman [...]

Photo and autograph courtesy of the G in person autograph archives. Ted Danson Happy 63rd birthday to actor Ted Danson who was born on December 29.

Thanks Ted, and I hope you have a great birthday! <!-- [...]

Photo and autograph courtesy of the A2G archives. Ricky Martin According2g wishes singer/actor Ricky Martin a happy 40th birthday on December 24, 2011. It came as no surprise when the babe from Puerto Rico came out of the closet earlier this year. In fact, the part that was surprising is that he managed to live in denial in the public eye for so long. Perhaps that'll encourage a bunch of A-list actors to do the same - everyone already knows anyway... just saying! If you are out there Ricky, I'm [...]

Photo and autograph courtesy of the G archives. Dick Van Dyke Happy birthday to Dick Van Dyke. You knew he was destined for fame by having the words "Dick" and"Dyke" in his name. I can somewhat relate! The legend turns 86 today and we wish him a great one and many returns! <!-- [...]

Photo by G. Hunter Parrish and Geoffrey Dicker I love Hunter Parrish. If you ever have seen the show "Weeds," you will recognize Hunter Parrish as Silas, the only person in the Botwin family that has any sense! Hunter is currenty starring in "Godspell" on Broadway. When I met the gorgeous actor, he was extremely nice and as you can see above, he had extremely good hair too! Thanks Hunter! Love ya, man! [...]

Photo by G. Tracy Morgan and G File this one under totally random! I was coming home from a night out on the town (a total shock, I know) when I was passing Subway sandwich on the corner. I looked in and saw 30 Rock's Tracy Morgan sitting inside. So of course I walked in and said hello! He was sitting inside with a bunch of people and they were all talking. He invited me over to his table and filled me in on the conversation he [...]

Autograph and photo courtesy of the G Archives. Jonathan Winters Happy birthday to actor and comedian Jonathan Winters. He is one of the few people that has consistently made me laugh out loud every time I see one of his appearances. His zany characters and genius facial expressions are one of the many reasons, he is considered to be one of the funniest people of all time. Also born on this day of great numerical structure: actor Leonard DiCaprio, actress Demi Moore and writer Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. [...]

Autograph and photo courtesy of the G Archives. Lou Ferrigno The Hulk, actor and body builder Lou Ferrigno is 60 years old today. I've met Lou many times and don't let the tough guy exterior fool you, he's a very nice guy! Happy birthday, Lou! Also born today: singer Mary Travers (of Peter Paul and Mary), astronomer Carl Sagan and actress Hedy Lamarr (and in this case it's in fact, Hedy and not Hedley!) [...]

Heavy D, actor and musician, has died in Beverley Hills. Born Dwight Arrington Myers, as leader of Heavy D & The Boyz he was the 90s go-to guy at the poppier end of hip-hop for those times when you couldn't afford Will Smith. The Boyz were the anchor group for Uptown Records, finding success almost immediately with the album Living Large and the platinum follow-up Big Tyme. D landed a number of lucrative collaborations - rapping on Michael Jackson's Jam and working with BB King, but a cooler reaction to third album Blue Funk saw him [...]

Sometimes it's fun to see some of our favorite rappers take on acting roles outside of their music videos. At other times, rappers taking on movie roles can end up being horrible idea. Not every... Continue reading "Five Rappers Who Should Be Actors" >

I have been a moderate St. Vincent fan since her 2009 release of Actor , so when I saw that her highly anticipated new album Strange Mercy dropped in September, I immediately downloaded it. Since my purchase (in mid-October, again as I said I am only a moderate fan), I have listened to the whole thing through at least twenty times- and every time it gets better. I became a true St. Vincent fan. So, when my friend Dawn (another WQHS DJ and all around knowledgeable music connoisseur) asked if I wanted to go with her to [...]

A preview of great shows in San Francisco this week...(with videos and shit)...

John Doe, the guy who formed one half of X's front line next to Exene Cervenka more than 30 years ago, is still on the scene, doing what he does best on his new solo album, Keeper (Yep Roc). With all four of its original members (Doe, Cervenka, guitarist Billy Zoom and drummer D.J. Bonebreak) [...]

Autograph and photo courtesy of the G Archives. Tim Robbins The Player! Actor and musician Tim Robbins is 53 today! If you've never seen "The Player," I highly recommend it. It's a movie (within a movie) about Hollywood and some of its many facades. I am very happy that I've had the chance to tell Tim Robbins how much I loved that film and he was very cool. Tim shares the same birthday as some other cool people including Red Hot Chili Peppers bass player Flea, The Grateful [...]

Autograph and photo courtesy of the G Archives. Roger Moore I grew up watching Roger Moore on the big screen as secret agent 007, James Bond. It may not be the popular opinion (but is anything I ever do in the popular opinion – NO! and good for me!), but Roger Moore is my favorite James Bond! Don't get me wrong, I love all of the films. Because my life is crazy and amazing, I once worked for MGM Studios managing the James Bond film franchise in regards to worldwide [...]
