Oh, Mickey
I ganked this from Heidi at The Beat. Oh, Mickey. Your milk brings all the girls to the yard.
Happy Rosh Hoshanah From Rabbi Jimmy
Happy Rosh Hashanah! I once played “Jesus” in Godspell so that makes me an honorary Jew. My friend Kerri dubbed me one years ago when I went home with her for Passover. You can read about that here.
If you need me, I’ll be practicing my shofar. I looked up online how to play.
Hint: Don’t google “How to play your own shofar” because you will NOT get the...
Would You Rather with Graham Norton and Jimmy...
Last night, I attended a taping of the new BBC America comedy panel show,Would You Rather, as hosted by Graham Norton. Basic idea, is that the host presents a question like: “Would you rather eat dog food or cat food?” (My sample question was very tame compared to the questions actually asked). And then the panelists talk about which choice they’d make. Graham randomly gives...

Hanging with Alie & Georgia
Yep. That’s me with Alie & Georgia last night! They were part of the showHot Tub with Kurt and Kristen at Littlefield’s in Brooklyn. Kristen being Kristen Schaal of Flight of the Conchords/The Daily Show fame. She’s hilarious! My pal Grace (it’s her birthday today so go wish her happy) and I attended and thought the show was great. Alie & Georgia killed it with...
Anne Hathaway in Catwoman Costume...Finally!
It’s well known that Anne Hathaway is playing Selina Kyle in the next Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises. But they’ve never called her Selina’s alter ego, “Catwoman”. I think that’s all put to rest now. She’s in the costume! Complete with the cute little ears. Enjoy. And the expected…”Meow”.
Friend of Interest
I finally watched the series premiere of the new CBS drama, Person of Interest, starring Jim Cavaziel, Michael Emerson and Taraji P. Henson. As most of you know, Emerson is an old pal of mine. (I’ll say it again, it’s not name dropping if you’re ACTUALLY friends with the person, ya mooks). It’s tough to watch something a friend is in and be objective. So here goes.

Fat Mac Attack
I really dig that Rob McElhenny, series star/creator of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, gained 50 lbs for the new season 7. Just to shake things up! I somehow missed this news back in August so when the new season premiered on Thursday, I just assumed it was a fine make up job by the IASIP crew. And figured he’d be back in fighting shape by the next episode. You know, how they...
Never Too Early For Christmas!
If you don’t know, well I’m here to tell you. I am a huge Christmas nerd. Favorite time of year and all that. Every year people complain that it “comes too early”. In the U.S., I’ll admit it does start creeping out early. I think once Thanksgiving hits then it’s fair game. But if before? I don’t mind. Though some are quite adamant in their hatred. I...

Jimmy Aquino's Emmy 2011 Highlights

10 Years After 9/11
As most of you know, I was here on that tragic day. I put my rememberance of it here a few years back. It still holds true so I thought I’d share again.

It goes without saying that this is a solemn day in NYC as those of us who were here during the attack are reminded of that horrific day.
At the time, I was living with my friend,...

My awesome nephew Maximus sends me a spider-ific message! He sings the Spider-Man theme song as well. Do check out his hands trying to shoot webs at the end. Adorable.

You got espresso in my Coke! No, YOU got coke in my espresso!
Sounds nasty, I’m sure. But it’s an acquired taste that I’ve turned many on to. It all started back in early 1995. I was rehearsing in Philadelphia for the national tour of “Aladdin” with a children’s theater company. One day after rehearsal, we were at the local store and saw this.

Top Chef, Smop Chef
Apparently, I sat next to a Top Chef finalist (I think runner up?) recently at a bar. I didn’t recognize him but one of my peoples did. (I’ve never seen the show). For such a prestigious reality TV competition partaker, he really didn’t act very “chef” like. Heard him order a steak medium well. I know some chefs who wont even serve a steak over medium rare. Then I...
