When it comes to brand loyalty, the LGBT community has historically shown that we have no issue with demonstrating our pride in what we like and letting our wallets do the talking, whereas other demographics do not quite express their preferences in such a powerful fiscal manner. In fact, although...

I don't deal in gossip, I find celebrity attacks to be abhorrent and just because someone is in the spotlight does not mean they have given the world permission to make them a moving target.

Clearly, with the rise of reality television, the definition of celebrity has changed, and in...

To be honest, when I think of Destin Florida I initially have flashbacks of sixth grade Geography where the entire concept of the Mason-Dixon Line sends me into somewhat of a tailspin. Whether North or South, Sandestin Wine Festival, a 27-year-old treasure hosted at the gem of the Panhandle in...

Remember a time when it was not cool to sing in Glee Club? When sexy was a size zero and when food was (audible inhale) simply seen as fuel for the body? We have come a long way since those very, very dark days and as we moved from geek...

In the wake of the recent horrific violence in Boston, it is natural to focus on what is broken in the world and wonder...

I have never understood why some people have the need to brag, so when I say, "I fly a great deal..." it is not meant to evoke envy, but rather to put into context the reality that I have experienced that which is both precious and precarious soaring high above...

At 54, Madonna certainly knows her way around controversy and is not afraid to rock the boat, shake the sugar tree or stir the pot, and at this weekend's GLAAD Media Awards in New York City, she certainly made a statement.

"I think that's f**ked up," she said,...

Miami is known for many things and while she will never lose here reputation for sexy bodies, Lady M is a foodie's kind of town. Last week, under a canapé of blue skies and endless sunshine, the annual South Beach Wine & Food Festival...

While Greg Grunberg has had staying power in a business that is often a chain of flash in the pan celebutantes, he is also somewhat of a chameleon as an actor from his days as Sean on the hit drama Felicity to the epic NBC hit Heroes, where he...

Music has long been recognized as a force akin to nature, drawing people together with a seemingly unearthly power to erase the lines that divide and galvanize us in name of joyful noise -- add to that the influence of rock and roll performed on a stage as wide as...

When I sit down with my "bestie" Chef Anne Burrell, I know I am going to get the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth with a side order of genuine love and joy for what she does and the people she works to take to the next...

Whether we live to eat or eat to live, the fact remains: Food has found a place in our everyday lives and taken on both ritualistic as well as iconoclastic status. In the quest to find the somewhat mystical line where a meal becomes more than just a jumble of...

New York is certainly not lacking in choices when it comes to food, eating and all snacking points in-between. Yet a true foodie is usually the first to admit that eating is both an art and science with a rich history as a potential full contact sport given the proper...

One of New York's most intriguing and stylish addresses continues to offer a window into the past with a knack for keeping things firmly rooted in the present and future: The Plaza Hotel. Afternoon tea is a time-honored tradition for those who enjoy a bit of a respite during the...

As a native New Yorker transplanted to all points north and south of the Mason/Dixon Line, I always enjoy time spent in the Big Apple and I am equally unashamed to admit that some of her most iconic spots are still my favorite.

Take for instance the Waldorf Astoria New...

Whenever I sit down with Guy Fieri, I never know what to expect. And with that being said, the best part about sitting down with my buddy Guy is that I never know what to expect. His no-nonsense approach to food, eating and creating just enough random chaos wherever he...

When many think of Florida, they have visions of South Beach nightlife, a Latin flair and a bevy of palm trees lining the streets as scantily clad tourists and natives mingle up and down Lincoln Road.

But Florida has so much more to offer -- including two time zones. Which...

The pope is on Twitter. While I'm not surprised that Vatican City and Pope Benedict XVI have finally embraced the power of the tweet, a great many spiritual panties seem to be in a knot.

First, let me encourage any and all feedback to my post as...

While I spend a great deal of time and attention focused on the happenings of Tinsel Town, this is the time of year where I tend to realize with more than a tinge of embarrassment that it is all too easy to forget that the world is not made up...

While I am known for many things, do-it-yourself projects -- aka the ubiquitous DIYs -- are not something that will ever go down in the history books as my expertise. That is exactly why it is important to have good friends like Carter Oosterhouse, as he is that go-to guy...
