Roby Sobieski
May 16, 2013
Twenty-four-year-old Roby Sobieski is a fantastically engaging conversationalist who readily shares details of his college senior thesis, a screenplay adaptation of an Arthurian legend researched down to the table settings; his relation to a king of Poland; his days as a teenage tour guide riding his father’s MicroBike through the empty halls of New York’s American Museum of Natural History; and the compelling polytheistic religion he invented when he was 8 years old.
Baz Luhrmann
April 23, 2013
Ever since it was first published in 1925, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby has been considered a creative and critical triumph. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for the many film versions of the novel that have been attempted, which have alternately been met with disappointment, confusion, or utter indifference. Now, Australian director Baz Luhrmann, no stranger to spectacle, is set to unleash his own long-awaited re-telling of the tale—a star-studded, mega-watt 3-D extravaganza, with a Jay-Z approved soundtrack and Leonardo DiCaprio as the great one himself. And rest assure: it’s a scene.

Nicki Minaj’s Star(ship) is Meant to Fly
February 14, 2012
Just when we were beginning to get tired of Nicki Minaj and her Lady Gaga-ish, priest-dressing Grammy nonsense, she releases a new and exciting track! “Starships,” from Minaj’s upcoming Roman Reloaded album, debuted this morning on Ryan Seacrest.
