Knicks 113 Bobcats 89 Take a long look at this box score, because you probably won’t see another one like it this season. The Knicks won a laugher Wednesday 113-89, dominating Charlotte over the final three quarters of the game. Apart from Eddy Curry, who didn’t score a single point, everyone had a good time in this one. Nate Robinson had 22 points and 6 assists while Jamal Crawford had 20 points and 5 assists.......

MTV's Un-credible New Years The Time Warner on-screen guide simply said "Tila Tequila" on MTV when the clock struck midnight last Monday, leading a casual observer to assume they were blowing through a marathon of her depressing reality show. But oh no! The oddly shaped, elfish face of the network apparently gets sole, top billing over the biggest night of the year as the host of MTV's annual New Years Eve party. She was mostly......

Colorado 4 Rangers 3: Marc Staal made the best play he could, but his deflection into the neutral zone cost the Rangers the game. The weird part is that Staal should have been the hero of this game. Tied 2-2, Staal lit the lamp for the Rangers and gave them a lead in a crazy third period. But, Colorado tied things in the third and won the game in OT on the deflection. Charlotte 105......

Yesterday's lovely weather made the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade a big crowd pleaser. An estimated 3.5 million spectators watched as giant balloons, floats, and hundreds of parade performers sauntered from 77th and Central Park West to Herald Square. Some people waited since 4AM in hopes of catching a glimpse of their favorite performers, who included Dolly Parton, Wynonna, the cast of Legally Blonde, American Idol winner Jordin Sparks, Good Charlotte, Menudo (really!), the Rockettes......

We’ve been refreshing Ramblings of a TV Whore all day, hoping for some blogging scab to post something!

The Observer has an interesting piece on The New Victorians, who are apparently bringing monogomy and early adulthood back. To get a mental image, think: Michelle Williams and Heath Ledger in Boerum Hill, Jonathan Safran Foer and Nicole Krauss in Park Slope and Liv Tyler and Royston Langdon in the West Village. A new breed of 20-somethings in the big city, and apparently this new regime is more into nesting than late nights. The Observer......

Back in May we asked what you thought of a Sex and the City movie, 51% of you thought it was coming three years too late. Whether we like it or not, the movie is going to happen - after Kim Cattrall finally signed on. Word is that she wanted a higher salary and a deal for a future HBO show, both of which she got. Guess her post-Samantha days haven't been filled with great......

Just when we finally washed the show right out of our hair, it's being reported that the "long-awaited" Sex and the City movie is getting closer to hitting the big screen. Mario Cantone, who played wedding planner and fag-for-Charlotte-to-hag Anthony Marantino, is the only one talking details so far: "Hopefully the Sex and the City movie is going to happen this fall," he said. "If it does, I'm in it which would be nice so......

Yesterday, Mayor Bloomberg traveled back to his Massachusetts roots and gave the commencement speech at Tufts University. Bloomberg, who grew up in Medford, name checked various haunts in the hood, tried to seem with it by mentioning Busta Rhymes, Ali G, and Salma Hayek, and reminded kids to call their mother. He also discussed free speech, in what the Sun called a nod to the Minutemen incident at Columbia: The fourth lesson is, in......

Rangers 4 Atlanta 2: The Rangers finished off their sweep of the Thrashers in dramatic fashion, coming back from 1-0 and 2-1 deficits to finally take the lead on a goal that had to be reviewed for over five minutes. Five minutes into the third period, Matt Cullen unleashed a vicious slapshot that caromed off the top crossbar and appeared to bounce out of the crease. Replays showed the puck had bounced down into......

Charlotte 126 New York 110: How many ways can the Knicks let us down? Facing one of the worst teams in the league, New York allowed them to shoot almost 60% from the field as they proved once again that they are not ready for primetime. Eddy Curry had 27 points, but he could not overcome Emeka Okafor who had ten blocks. New Jersey 2 Atlanta 1: The Devils trailed most of the game, but......

Knicks 103, Bulls 92: So much for the Knicks' home-court woes. They beat Utah on Monday, squeaked by lowly Charlotte on Wednesday and tripped up streaking Chicago on Friday. A pair of ex-Bulls pitched in. Jamal Crawford netted 28, and Eddy Curry scored 20. Suddenly, New York's won three in a row. Last Saturday's brawl probably isn't as much to credit as people might think, but if that's the reason for their streak, the success......

When there's a bottle, there's a way to get nervous. Two separate incidents, one underground and the other in the air, involving bottled liquids caused diversions and stoppages. A flight from Atlanta to NYC was diverted to Charlotte, NC when a flight attendant was concerned about a strange-smelling bottle of water. Or make that "water." Once the plane landed, the bomb-sniffing dogs were brought on and crew and passengers were interviewed. But nothing suspicious or......

The Guardian is reporting that Cate Blanchett is one of the actors playing the role of Bob Dylan in Todd Haynes's biopic. This wouldn't, of course, be the first time that a woman has played a man, or vice versa. The Australian actress and the Duluth musician don't have that much physically in common, but that's no matter. There will also be a lot of other actors playing Dylan. The film, I'm Not There,......

Tonight, on the season finale of MTV's The Shop, NJ Net Richard Jefferson (or "R Jeff" as we like to call him in our house) will be appearing. Now, Richard Jefferson, who lives in Tribeca, doesn't really have hair, so we imagine he might be getting a shave (face or head) at the shop... or maybe he's just there for some old-fashioned conversation. We remember when Jason Kidd was on Cribs and we saw TJ......
