In the NY Times' Styles section, there's an article about how there may actually be a three-year itch when it comes to relationships. Divorce lawyer Raoul Felder chalks it up to various technological changes in society: "We’re all addicted to a television-clicker lifestyle." Dr. Ruth, though, cautions against believing in a three-year itch, "How dangerous it is to say something like that. From now on, everyone who’s getting married will say it will last......

Rolling Stone has officially turned 40! We can't honestly say it's aged very well, but it sure is partying like it's 1967. Last year, at 39 and issue number 1000, Jann Wenner wrote, "The fact that we had John Lennon on the very first cover [pictured] was serendipity. We had a publicity photo from his role in the anti-war film How I Won the War. That photo, we now realize, speaks so clearly to the......

The two page blackmail letter that Yoko Ono's driver, Koral Karsan, wrote in hopes of receiving $2M from her, was released yesterday. Karsan's lawyer, Robert Gottlieb, filed it with Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Daniel FitzGerald. In the letter, Karsan accused Ono of sexually harrassing him, and vowed to call Sean Lennon (along with his ex, Bijou Phillips), "Paul", and Rolling Stone's Jann Wenner to testify on his behalf. He also wrote down that Sean Lennon......

Did you see the season premiere of "I'm From Rolling Stone"? A combination of job interview, intership and reality tv...the show didn't disappoint with its "oh no (s)he did not!" moments. Jann Wenner was rarely thanked for giving them the opportunity, instead the contestants say things like "For reals?" and "Should I bring clothes and condoms?" as a reaction to his call. And then contestant-number-whatever told Joe Levy he was drunk when he wrote his......

Way back in June we went to enjoy Band of Horses at the Bowery Ballroom and had the unfortunate luck of being at a show where Jann Wenner's future reality show rejects were sent "on assignment". They were loud, drunk and in the above clip you can catch a glimpse of their venue manners, and much more. Best part of the series trailer? Possible future RS writer #1: "Can you think of a better......

No one will ever be able to truly replace Jerry Orbach on Law & Order, but the casting folks are definitely working in the right vein to maintain the aura of wise-cracking, seen-it-all detective if early reports are true. Apparently, Dennis Farina is in talks to join Law & Order. This is fabulous, as Dennis Farina is one of the greatest character actors around. Disregarding the stupid NBC sitcom and work-for-hire roles, his bread and......

Rolling Stone's Jann Wenner gives $200,000 to Salon and Salon's David Talbot says, "Even though we are an Internet company, we realize that print is not dead. Rolling Stone has a lot of readers who we are interested in reaching." Really? We guess eyeballs are eyeballs, but who really reads Rolling Stone anymore, unless they are at the dentist's office? But Gothamist understands how Talbot needed to say something, anything, to thank Wenner for his......

As part of our continuing effort to create entertaining content, we have decided to implement a series of interviews with people who are more famous than we are. A lot people qualify under that definition- celebrities, other bloggers, that guy who works at M&O; deli on Prince Street, etc. Still, we thought we should warm up by interviewing each other. Here is my interview with Jen Chung: 1. How is it possible that you are......
