The history of Broadway is littered with ill-advised sequels that didn’t quite work (see: Bring Back Birdie or The Best Little Whorehouse Goes Public ) but the biggest sequel of them all, the Phantom followup Love Never Dies (in which the masked musician moves to Coney Island to open the “Phantasma”), will most likely never even make it to the Great White Way. But! It will be playing on 42nd Street. At least a filmed version of it will. Camp fans might want to mark February 28th and March 7th on their calendars! [ more › ]

Competitive eater Takeru Kobayashi inhaled a record-breaking 337 chicken wings to win the 20th “Wing Bowl” in Philadelphia this morning! It was Kobayashi’s first time participating in the annual event, which takes place at the home of the Philadelphia Flyers and features a “Wingette of the Year” competition—over 125 scantily-clad ladies competed to be this year’s Wingette and win a Harley Davidson motorcycle. (There are A LOT of photos of them here , if you’re into that sort of thing.) The previous wing-eating record was 254, and while Kobayashi crushed that number, it wasn’t a fait accompli. [ more › ]

This week Vahram Muratyan ‘s book Paris Versus New York was released, which we only heard about after seeing some Tweets about an event at the Standard last night that no one told us about. La baise Français! Anyway, the book is very visually compelling, comparing the two cities with some gorgeous graphic design work, with a subtitle: A Tally of Two Cities. Muratyan is French-born, but has lived in New York before, and recently told CNN what he misses about either city when he’s not there: [ more › ]

The approval of the bill (which passed along party lines) sends it to the full Assembly for a vote on Feb. 16, and a potential showdown with Gov. Chris Christie , who has vowed to veto any gay marriage bill that passes his desk.

In 1987, we saw the movie La Bamba on the big screen and spent the next week in tears. We even missed days of school. It was just so sad, even the Bob subplot— poor misunderstood drunk Bob ! Anyway, it was traumatizing, and as you all know the movie ended when Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J. P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson, as well as pilot Roger Peterson, die in a plane crash in 1959. That day famously became known as the Day The Music Died, and it happened 53 years ago today, on February 3rd. Why not visit P.J. Clarke’s to pay homage tonight? [ more › ]
