Day 2 of the Sundance Film Festival found The Observer snowbound in the extreme. We’re talking enough snow to give Mayor Bloomberg and the New York City transit system nightmares. Astronomic surcharges became the norm as Park City’s anemic livery force struggled to even make the most ludicrous time frames: ”Yeah I can have a guy up there in like 3 and a half hours?” deadpanned one audacious taxi dispatcher, who seemed to take pleasure in seeing so many city slickers squeal.

“It’s Lady Gaga!” Anna Dello Russo, the editor of Vogue Nippon, exclaimed as a woman dressed like a cartoon candy-cane walked onto the runway at the Prabal Gurung show. But it wasn’t Lady Gaga, who hasn’t made a Fashion Week appearance in a few seasons (despite popping up on tip sheets from time to Read More

“30 Minutes or Less” is the wish-fulfillment fantasy that generations of slacker pizza delivery guys have been waiting for. The rest of the world may look down on the stoners who deliver their pies, but Jesse Eisenberg is Read More

Thus far into 2011, Aziz Ansari has not been shy about imposing his presence on New York City. He stuck by his buddy James Murphy’s side as he closed the curtain on his band, LCD Soundsystem. He chilled with half-naked dudes next to GQ editor Jim Nelson at The Ace Hotel. And we Read More

His Fashion Week stamina was such that The New York Times indulged Read More

Last night at The Ace Hotel we found ourselves staring at a bevy of half-naked male models standing silent and still for hours.
“I heard they’re all on mushrooms,” a partygoer told The Observer.
We hoped they were, given how long they had to play mannequin. It was GQ‘s Best New Menswear Designers party, and Read More

Aziz Ansari, the reigning funniest man on the planet, is not one to be trusted on Twitter. For instance, last week he spent the day fake-retweeting Whole Foods and L.L. Bean (the clothier never said “your comedy sucks dick Aziz”).
But when he told his 600,000 followers of a trip to Tokyo with LCD Read More

After NBC spent months telling us that Parks and Recreation was in no way a spin-off of The Office, despite coming from “the people who bring you The Office”, co-starring former Office star Rashida Jones, and being shot in a faux-documentary style with no laugh track, the series premiered last night, and, you know what?
