Read: Paris, A Love Story
I first took note of this book a few months ago, when Vogue ran an excerpt from Kati Marton's moving memoir. To put it bluntly, the short article left me in tears. In addition to being a kickass journalist and author herself, she also happens to be the widow of Richard Holbrooke — the venerable diplomat who died suddenly three years ago — but she was also married to the legendary Peter Jennings.

It might seem odd that a movie about a group of struggling sex addicts offers up a ton of laughs, but that's exactly the case with this flick. Gwyneth Paltrow and Mark Ruffalo teamed up with the writer from The Kids Are All Right to create one of the most heartwarming tales we've seen in awhile. The story follows three men in different stages of addiction, as they struggle to keep life as normal as possible. Gwynnie and Mark make just about the cutest couple ever, in that neurotic New Yorker sort of way. And, P!nk (neé Alecia Moore) makes an adorable debut into serious acting as a fellow member of their support group. We guarantee you'll never root for a group of characters more, and you'll leave the theater feeling a whole lot better about whatever your own personal brand of crazy is (because, seriously, we've all got something).
Jay Z may be the original Brooklyn Boy, but the baby-faced Hoodie Allen is a talented rapper who also gives mad love to the better borough. I always find myself wondering what the kids are listening to these days, and, in my circle, this is it. His songs are catchy, his rhymes are funny, and you can feel (kind of) good about supporting someone who keeps it real. Hoodie is going back on tour this month, and trust when we say his is one show you won't want to miss.
