You know how they say the sign of a good, ahem, lover is a good dancer? Well, what do you think would happen if you combined two dancers (aka the plot of every Step Up movie, really)? We’re about to find that out on Bachelorette 2015, when dance teacher Kaitlyn Bristowe meets contestant Kupah James, a handsome Bostonian who just so happens to also be a dance/fitness instructor!Reality Steve revealed 32-year-old Kupah as one of the Season 11 guys this week, and we were immediately intrigued. For one, he’s obviously easy on the eyes — and especially fit. No surprise, considering he spends a Continue reading >>>

In the aftermath of the 2013 Boston marathon bombing, native Bostonian Mark Wahlberg is partnering with CBS Films to produce and possibly star in a film about the tragedy.  The film, titled Patriot Days, is based on the account of Boston Police commissioner Ed Davis, who worked with the FBI and other local and federal law enforcement to find and apprehend the bombers, one of whom (Dzhokhar Tsarnaev) is still undergoing trial. CBS Films acquired Davis’ life rights in conjunction with the 60 Minutes story that was done on him. Wahlberg is from the Boston area, so this is most likely going Continue reading >>>

2014 was a big year for the seldom seen New Balance 530. Initially brought back to help bolster New Balance’s references to their 90s running collection, the silhouette also featured enticing collaborative efforts from KITH’s own Ronnie Fieg and WEST NYC. Now it looks like the Bostonian running brand will continue to push the model this summer, as a number of new mesh varieties bring back the original performance look. This pair does ditch that enticing mesh netting construction found on the OG pairs, but back is the bold ‘NB’ tongue branding while rich black leather overlays contrast Continue reading >>>

Native Bostonian Mark Wahlberg is working on a movie about the Boston Marathon bombing and the days-long hunt to find the bombers.

The team that we have assembled for this project is determined to give audiences a very personal look at what occurred Continue reading >>>

Proud Bostonian Mark Wahlberg is going home for a movie that’s bound to have a bit of resonance for him, as Patriot’s Day is all about the Boston Marathon Bombings. Deadline reports Wahlberg will produce and star, and also mentions that it will be in a race to screens against Boston Strong, starring Casey Affleck. However they are slightly different film, as while Boston Strong concentrates on the effect the bombings had on the city in the week between the event and the capture of the bombers, Patriot’s Day is based around Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis (Mark Wahlberg) and his account Continue reading >>>

Boston 2024 thinks Bostonians care what other cities think about us, and they couldn’t be more wrong. (Morry Gash/IOPP Pool/Getty Images) Boston Globe – [T]hese days, it seems like whatever Boston 2024 says or does is the absolute wrong thing. Spruce up Franklin Park? No! Deval Patrick as global ambassador? Not for $7,500-a-day?#$! Sponsor a referendum? Those guys are co-opting the ballot process! It’s as if we’re witnessing the last stages of a broken marriage. Now, we can sit here, Bostonians being Bostonians, and have a good chuckle. But know this: We’ve become the laughingstock of Continue reading >>>
