OR MANY OF MY YEARS WRITING THIS column, I complained about the lack of response from the readers. However, a couple of months ago, when Atlantic City Weekly added a “comments” section following the column on the Web site (acweekly.com), the number of comments have grown tremendously. It is interesting to note that over 60 percent of the responses are negative, either in comments about this columnist or their feelings about Atlantic City and its environs in general. Here are the numbers for the past four weeks; the “Christie, Don’t Renege On VLTs” column drew 12 comments; the “Revel Must Be Built” had 15; the “Committee Reports Made Public” had seven and the “Green Jitneys on the Way” had 11. Very few of the comments had direct responses to the subject of the column. The comments are available to those of you who read the column on the Internet. For those who don’t read the comments, I decided to take an excerpt or two from several of them and respond to their comment. I will not do this often, but possibly it will get more of you to read and write them online. My reply is below the italicized comments. RandomX856 wrote: “Slot machines at the racetracks in the northern part of the state can be used to filter business and profits to Atlantic City, if done properly.” If they had slot machines at racetracks at the Meadowlands, it would cause the loss of jobs in Atlantic City and southern New Jersey, possibly bringing the end of a couple of the tenuous casinos. The casinos in Atlantic City invested in the neighborhood of $1 billion for their casinos. It costs very little to put slots in a racetrack.

Wad wrote: “I still prefer A.C. over any of those boring racinos in Pa., which is where I live. Man, are they boring as hell and I cannot ever remember going into one and not being ready to leave 15 minutes later. A.C. needs sports betting.” Obviously, you are not bored in Atlantic City. Glad to hear it. Big Bruce wrote: “Many love to bash Atlantic City; I would, however, like to compliment the city on the great cleanup of the Boardwalk this week. Despite two major storms in the past week, the Boardwalk was in exceptional condition.” I agree. The public works department is to be commended for a job well done. Eric (like several others) wrote: “I like the sports betting idea. That would give Atlantic City an edge over the competition. Now maybe because I live in Philadelphia I’m not too fazed by panhandlers. Come on guys, A.C. is a city. It has the same problems many cities have. I guess people thought the casinos would pave the streets in gold and there would be 100 percent employment.” Sports betting would be a tremendous asset. The Legislature is making strides toward helping to make it become a reality either by getting the issue before Join us on Facebook:

the U.S. Supreme Court, or by getting the Federal Legislature to change the law permitting sports betting in any state that wants it. Wendy wrote: “You’ve been talking for years now about ideas and committees, etc. A.C. is not slowly dying, it is quickly dying, and no one is even putting so much as a Band-Aid on its problems.” That’s not true. At the current time there are three committees made up of formidable people within the community who are coming up with events to draw people to the city, ways to clean up the city, install bright new lights on the Boardwalk this year, get rid of the decrepit buildings and make it safer. Unfortunately, these things take time to get done, but I assure you there will be major improvements within this year.

Good Weather Makes the Difference

All it took was a three days of sunshine to bring the crowds back to Atlantic City. Just about every facet of the Atlantic City area had a thriving holiday weekend. It helped to have Valentine’s Day a part of that weekend. My wife and I took a walk and did something we had never done before. We were able to find two empty chairs on the south side of The Pier Shops at Caesars, and decided to park ourselves for a little while and bask in the sunshine with our feet in the sand and the beautiful view of the ocean and beach before us. It was a treat. Try it sometime. There was a good crowd on the Pier and, after learning that Baccarat (in The Pier Shops) was going to close, and hearing rumors about other stores moving out, I decided to stop in to see the manager of Tiffany & Co. jewelry store. I bluntly asked him if it was true that they were moving out. He looked at me in a surprised way and asked where I heard that rumor. I told him someone called my show and said that several of the stores were not going to be around for too long. The manager said he could only speak for Tiffany, and asked me to take a look around the store and notice that there were least a dozen people looking at items on display. He said they were doing good business and that the Tiffany & Co. was very pleased with the business they were doing in Atlantic City. They have been very active and involved in charitable endeavors in the community, and it has helped to bring more people into The Pier Shops to visit their store. I was also happy to notice that most of the restaurants on the third level of The Pier Shops had good crowds at 3:30pm on Sunday afternoon. n

Beauty (Not Just) Skin Deep The inaugural MissInkAmerica.com Pageant comes to The Pool at Harrah’s Friday night By Ray Schweibert

New Jersey (2008) Ashley Fairfield, and tattoo artist and A.C. Ink studio owner Frank Diamond. Sponsorship is being provided by Simply Fly Clothing of Northfield, Art Is salon of Brigantine, and Don Hellinger’s Inked magazine. Live entertainment will be provided and the host for the evening will be Kim Merlino, a singer and TV personality from northern New Jersey (Rochelle Park), and a former Miss International Pageant contestant. “We’ll also have a comedienne named Rock Angel performing, and we’re trying to diversify it so that a wide variety of people visiting The Pool will be sure to have a good time,” says Jennetta. “[The Pool]’s a spectacular venue with a great atmosphere, and we’re going to turn it into 13,000 square feet of madness. “My father and I put something similar together a couple of years ago that was a lot of fun, but this really has a totally different spin on it,” he adds. “This is a true beauty competition. It’s like the Miss American Pageant but I would say with more sexiness, uniqueness and more of an edge to it. We want to bring beauty back to Atlantic City, where beauty was born.” The pageant will take place from 8-10pm, and an after-party will be hosted at The Pool immediately following the event. n

COMMON CLAMOR IN THESE challenging times is that Atlantic City has to diversify more and give visitors new and exciting entertainment alternatives to keep them coming back. Much of that has happened and continues to happen, and a primo prototype might be what’s going on at The Pool at Harrah’s Resort this Friday night, Feb. 19. The inaugural MissInkAmerica.com Pageant is the concept of father-son entrepreneurs Michael and Cyprian Jennetta, and will involve 10 women with a variety of “body art” like tattoos and piercings competing in a format similar to the Miss America Pageant. The women will vie for approval from three judges in categories like lingerie, club wear and formal attire, discuss their personal platform issues, and answer randomly selected questions during their walks down the runway. Judging will be based on their personal platforms (issues such as homelessness, domestic violence, literacy and education, etc.) and question response, overall beauty and, of course, body art. “We believe that body art is a beautiful thing, and we want to try to remove the negative stigma that it sometimes has,” says Cyprian Jennetta. “We don’t think that anyone in general, but in this particular case women with body art, should be shunned or denied any opportunities that those who do not have body art might get.” MissInkAmerica.com bills itself as a premier outlet for women with body art to have fun, gain recognition and give back to the community. Recently the organization donated funds and volunteered their time at the Atlantic City Rescue Mission, and has other charitable endeavors lined up for the future. “We’re trying to show the masses that, look, just because these women may express themselves using ink on their skin, it doesn’t make them any different,” adds Jennetta. “They’re still intelligent, they’re still business women who act in a very professional manner — and they’re beautiful. That’s why we wanted to focus on the beauty aspect of the pageant first. It’s not a tattoo competition, it’s a beauty pageant for women with body art. It’s all about beauty, brains and body art.” Guest judges will include former NFL (Oakland Raiders, New England Patriots) wide receiver John Stone, former Miss

Jazz Corner Extended at The Chelsea The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first winter jazz series in a while, the Jazz Corner, kicked off Thursday, Jan. 21, inside the Chelseaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comfy Living Room space. Since then it has been attracting a hefty amount of fans and musicians weekly (Thursday nights starting at 8pm). Combining a schedule of regional and local jazz acts and spoken-word artists each week, the series has been packed each Thursday with organizers having to turn guests away on some nights due to room. Like last Thursday for example. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were nervous because of the weather,â&#x20AC;? says Henrietta Shelton, co-organizer of the event, which is presented by the Chicken Bone Beach Historical Foundation and Malkio Entertainment Group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we had to turn people away! Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve really been pleased with the turnout and the bands have been phenomenal.â&#x20AC;? Wordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting out and the jazz series has been extended through May 13. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really enjoying it,â&#x20AC;? says Shelton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The atmosphere is New York style. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think any other place in A.C. has this kind of ambiance.â&#x20AC;? Local drummer and bandleader Tony Day with Across the Globe returns this Thursday (Feb. 18).

Fishing and Helping Together There are a lot of different charities in the southern New Jersey area trying to help people in need, and sometimes those charities can find themselves working on very similar programs. But instead of getting territorial, it makes a lot more sense for the charities to work together. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the spirit behind the Fishing at the Pier charity fundraiser, 8pm, Feb. 25, at One Atlantic at The Pier Shops at Caesars, which will benefit both Community Quest Inc. and the Atlantic Cape Family Support Organization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Specifically, we have a program called Youth Quest, which supports disadvantaged youths in getting the life skills they need to support their own home,â&#x20AC;? says Pat Hurst event coordinator for Community Quest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very similar to many of ACFSOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programs. So we decided to come together in support of both organizations.â&#x20AC;? The event is a mock fishing tournament that includes appetizers, a cash bar, Caribbean music with Smokey Starr and an evening of fishing for merchandise and exclusive store discounts from the Pier Shops at Caesars and local community businesses. Tickets are $55 per person and attendees should register by Feb. 22 by visiting CQInc.org or acfamsupport.org. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mike Pritchard

Q: How was the show? Michelle Gueli Galloway, N.J. A: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen Drive or Atreyu [other bands on the bill] before live, but they were awesome!

Alex Livingston Absecon, N.J. A: I love the Used! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll always come out to see their show whenever they play nearby. I love Bert!

Mary Gotto Absecon, N.J. A: It was an awesome show. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen the Used dozens of times and they never get old.

FTER A SOFT START, SHOWROOM bookings in Atlantic City’s casinos and at Boardwalk Hall have gained momentum as the gaming industry increasingly places its bets on entertainment as a way of luring visitors away from competing casinos in neighboring states. “It’s very simple,” offers one Atlantic City casino executive. “We’ve got [entertainment], and they don’t, at least not on the scale that we can offer.” Although this weekend’s offerings are very light, it’s understandable since the gaming halls here are coming off one of the busiest entertainment weekends of the year. During last weekend’s combined Presidents and Valentine’s holidays, there were no fewer than 15 separate headliner shows spread over the three-day weekend. You’d be hard-pressed to find a single weekend any time of the year with more shows and events. Leading the way is Caesars Atlantic City, which is beginning to stock its 1,500-seat Circus Maximus Theater with a potpourri of artists ranging from classic and modern rock acts to artists with Broadway pedigree. Last weekend was a perfect example of how Caesars is using entertainment to broaden its demographic reach to its guests. Caesars aimed for one crowd with its Saturday night double-header featuring blues legends B.B. King and Buddy Guy, while Sunday night featured a show appealed to an audience rooted in the rock sounds of the 1960s and ’70 with rocker Steve Winwood, who once anchored bands like the Spencer Davis Group, Traffic and Blind Faith. And while there’s been no official announcement, sources say Caesars — one of four Atlantic City casinos owned by global gaming giant Harrah’s Entertainment — is also mapping out an ambitious schedule of major concerts and events in the 12,500-seat Boardwalk Hall, which sits less than two blocks from Caesars. One Boardwalk Hall event recently announced by Caesars is an April 8 tennis tournament hosted by five-time Wimbledon champion Venus Williams and featuring exhibition matches between Ivan Lendl and Mats Wilander, Andy Roddick and Marat Safin and a third match to be announced later. Don Marrandino, the new president of Harrah’s Entertainment’s eastern division, is spearheading the company’s more aggressive entertainment policy, especially at Caesars and Harrah’s Resort. Join us on Facebook:

facebook.com/ACWeekly

Marrandino, who was raised in Brigantine and began his casino career at Bally’s Atlantic City 30 years ago, recently returned to the resort after working in Las Vegas casinos for 20 years, where he was known as “Mr. Entertainment” in the Nevada gaming capital. He believes a diverse entertainment policy is perhaps the biggest factor that separates Atlantic City from other regional gaming destinations, particularly Pennsylvania, where table games have been approved and will likely be up and running this summer. In addition to Caesars, its sister property, Harrah’s Resort, is also showing signs it’s going to become more aggressive when it comes to booking shows. Where the 1,300-seat Concert Venue at Harrah’s had been short on off-season acts in recent years, it now appears the casino is looking to present at least two headliners in a month, and it recently added rock musician Levon Helm (Feb. 27), the former lead singer and drummer of The Band; pop singer Michael Bolton (March 13), jazz trumpeter Chris Botti (March 20) and American Idol fifth-season runner up Katherine McPhee (April 9) to its roster of artists who will play one-night stands. Borgata continues to mix things up between its 3,000-seat Event Center and the more intimate Music Box venues. After kicking off 2010 with artists like John Legend and Mariah Carey, Borgata’s bookings for the first and second quarters of the year include everyone from the grunge band Alice in Chains (March 12) and rapper and hip-hop mogul Jay-Z (March 13) to the reunited ’80s boy band New Kids On the Block (May 28). Trump Taj Mahal scored an impressive booking when it announced that Grammy-winning recording artist Alicia Keys (March 20) will headline the Etess Arena next month. And at Boardwalk Hall, American Idol winner Carrie Underwood (March 19) will play the big room, while the modern rock band Nickelback (April 3) will perform in the hall along with Shinedown and Sick Puppies. n

HE NEXT BIG EVENT AT Atlantic City’s poker tables comes straight from the partnership the World Series of Poker has with Harrah’s casinos throughout the country. In this case, Ceasars Atlantic City will host a WSOP Circuit Event from March 3-14, with a main event likely to post a $1 million plus prize pool. As you might expect, the folks at Caesars are pretty excited about the action their poker room will soon see as this downer of a winter season finally winds down. “Caesars has always been synonymous with the very best in table games action in Atlantic City,” says Joe Domenico, senior VP and GM of Caesars in a press release. “With the recent excitement stirred up by our record breaking Bad Beat Jackpot last month [hit for more than $550,000], the energy in the poker room here has never been higher. The World Series of Poker is without question the single most prestigious gambling event anywhere, and we are thrilled to bring a piece of the tournament to our customers here in Atlantic City.” The event includes 12 tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $200 for a Turbo No-Limit event to just over $5,000 for the No-Limit Hold’em Finale. Last year the championship purse topped $1 million and should easily do it again this year. Caesars is also offering single-table satellites available from noon to midnight each day of the tournament. Like the recently completed Borgata Winter Open, won by poker pro Jeff Madsen, Caesars is expecting a fairly good turnout of poker professionals. But the event is designed for any player looking to find a stake for the WSOP. The winner of the final event will qualify for a $10,000 seat in the main event held at The Rio in Las Vegas, in addition to the prize money awarded for the circuit victory. Winners of all events will receive a prized World Series of Poker ring, or in the case of the WSOP Ladies Only No-Limit Hold’ em Final a beautiful pendant commemorating the championship. The championship rings are a nice touch and Caesars has coined the slogan “First the ring, then the bracelet.” Here’s registration info direct from Caesars: Interested participants can register 24 hours a day at the casino cashiers located next to the poker room at Caesars. Beginning at 8am on March 3, players can register right at the Palladium Join us on Facebook:

Body: In an effort to look amazing in their wedding gowns, many brides-to-be engage in crash dieting. This is an unhealthy way to shed pounds. Rather, consider revamping your fitness plan a few months prior to the wedding. If budget permits, consult with a trainer to see how you can tone problem areas. A nutritionist can recommend a diet that will be healthy and keep you trim. A happy bride is one who looks and feels her best. One of the best beauty tips is to have fun at your wedding and make memories to last a lifetime. â&#x2013;

Being asked to be someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best man or maid of honor is an honor to be cherished. Often the best friend of the groom or bride, the best man and maid of honor often want to reciprocate the honor of their role with a toast that illustrates just how much they care for the bride or groom. But once the time comes to sit down and think about their toast, the best man or maid of honor are often in the dark. Giving a wedding toast, after all, is not an everyday event, and for many people it will be a onetime experience, if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re even asked at all. Though a certain amount of pressure comes with the responsibility of giving a toast, keeping a few ideas in mind when writing a toast will make the process go more smoothly. â&#x20AC;˘ Thank the guests. Thanking the guests for attending Join us on Facebook:

facebook.com/ACWeekly

is a good way to break the ice. Be sure to thank the hosts as well. Traditionally, the hosts are the brideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents. However, thanks to the escalating costs of weddings, many are now financed by both the bride and groomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents, and oftentimes by the bride and groom themselves. Therefore, you can avoid any missteps and simply thank the parents of the bride and groom after thanking the guests for joining in the festivities. â&#x20AC;˘ Introduce yourself. While the bride and groom certainly know who you are, chances are many of the guests do not. Many weddings boast guest lists with more than 100 people, so introduce yourself at the beginning of your toast. When doing so, you can explain your relationship to the bride or groom (i.e., older/younger sibling, college roommate, etc.). â&#x20AC;˘ Keep things light. While jokes should remain appropriate (every wedding has kids in attendance), keeping the toast jovial is a good way to keep the festive mood of the day going. While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to get across how much you cherish being the best man or maid of honor, a jovial approach to doing so will be enjoyed by all, and your message will still come across to the bride and groom as well. â&#x20AC;˘ Add an anecdote. The best man or maid of honor no doubt have many funny anecdotes to tell about the bride or groom. Add a light-hearted anecdote that illustrates your relationship to the bride or groom and how much they mean to you. An older brother, for instance, might tell a tale of the innocent joking around brothers do, while a younger sister might spin a funny yarn about how she once used all of her older sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s makeup. Just make sure the anecdote is appropriate for everyone in the audience. â&#x20AC;˘ Raise a glass, but do so after the toast, and not before. While everyone knows to raise a glass at the end of the toast, some best men or maids of honor raise one too many glasses before itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to give their toast. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drink to excess before itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for you to give your toast, or youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll risk being the talk of the reception for all the wrong reasons. â&#x2013; see more online @

THE CITY BEAT

Star 2010

Spoken-word talent competition takes place in P-Ville this Saturday By Ray Tyler

HREE OF PHILADELPHIA’S hottest spoken-word artists will be appearing at the talent competition Star 2010 at the Doris Jazz Room (128 North New Rd.) in Pleasantville this Saturday Night, Feb. 20. Doors open at 9pm and the show starts at 10pm with an open-mike competition following the opening acts. Admission is $10 and there’ll be an oldschool party after the show. In the 1970s the film genre known as Black Exploitation or “Blaxploitation” was at its height, employing record numbers of African-Americans both on film and behind the camera. Is it any wonder that in 1974 Hollywood went to one of its best directors, acclaimed photographer Gordon Parks, to direct three of Blaxploitation’s biggest stars — Jim Brown, Fred Williamson and karate champ Jim Kelly — in the classic film Three The Hard Way? For people who love action, the film is

a tour de force. For women who love sexy black men, the film presents three rough, rugged and raw dudes in their prime. The genre of Blaxploitation itself often lacked subtleties, but did present a vision of black America that wasn’t sugar-coated (though not always politically correct). Today, the spoken-word genre, like Blaxploitation, comes straight from the streets and gives poetry an un-watered down presentation of what life is like now. On Saturday, Feb. 20, Philadelphia’s spoken-word version of Brown, Williamson and Kelly will be taking the stage at the Doris Jazz Room for Star 2010. Reynald “Sheyster” Williams will open the show along with Perry “Vizion” Divirgilio. After Sheyster and Vizion’s performance will be an open mike/talent competition. The judges will be DJ ILL Nino, Whitney Ullman from AC Weekly and T-Marquise Entertainment’s Robert

Williams, whose artist Barbara Sheree is currently burning up the Billboard Top 100 Dance Music charts. While the judges are picking their winner at the event, Malcolm “Damali” Mills will take the stage for a special performance. Sheyster, Viz and Damali, like Brown, Williamson and Kelly, represent three of the best of their art form in their time. Rey Williams can truly claim that he’s “hip-hop.” His words, style and even the titles of his poems, like “The Notorious P-O-E-T” make a direct connection to the revolutionary messages of Public Enemy and KRS-One. Lyrically, Williams has a flow (without technically rapping) that he says is inspired by rap masters Nas and Rakim. William’s goal, however, is to do poetry in the classroom. To that effect Williams will be coming back to the Jersey Shore area on Feb. 26 to perform for the students at Viking Academy for their black history program. Standing at 6-foot-6, Vizion is hard to ignore when he steps in a room. His words on the microphone are even harder to ignore. Poetically speaking, Vizion is constantly cutting away at all the distractions that the media sugarscoats issues with; he

gets at the heart of the matters of which he speaks. His poetic knife cuts both ways. Vizion rips the media, but also rips the so-called “masses” for buying everything that’s on television. Though he’s racked up both awards and press for his poetry, his mission is to inspire positive change in his listeners’ daily lives. His efforts on and off stage are mending some fences among the Philly writers in the field of poetry. Finally, Malcolm Damali Mills is a poet and businessman who on any given day may be on stage performing solo, doing a performance with an acoustic band or fronting his rock/punk band the Dirty Saints. As an artist, Mills may have even more flavors than Baskin Robins, but like most ice cream choices, each one is a treat. n

And again, if you missed our show in January at the Kimmel with Darlene Love, Jay Black, Shirley Alston, the Skyliners, and the Channels, you missed a classic. People are still raving about the performances. To all who attended, many thanks. It was our 19th show and again a complete sellout. And it really is a tribute to all of you who, whether you were there or not, have kept the music alive all these years.

You are correct. The original version was by Ruby & the Romantics in 1963 and was called “Hey There Lonely Boy.” Peter De Angelis, Eddie Holman’s producer, changed the story line from boy to girl, but it’s the same song. n

Hope You’re Hungry! Carmine’s at The Quarter offers large portions, Italian fare. By Frank Gabriel

OR GENERATIONS OF SOUTHERN Italian immigrants New York City served, along with Boston and surprising most, New Orleans, as principal ports of arrival to lives in the New World. Carmine’s restaurant, in Tropicana’s The Quarter dining and shopping district, originated as a Gotham City fixture 20 years ago. Here the food and culture of those 20 million who proudly call themselves Italian-Americans is celebrated and venerated. Menus are replaced with billboard-size signage on walls, proclaiming the wideranging bill of fare. Food is family style, encouraging and except for that most ravenous of patrons, pretty much requiring sharing. How big are the portions? We hear you asking. We’ll get to that in just a moment. We like to think that creative, well-executed additions are a true barometer of a kitchen’s strengths. The final necessity to that equation — articulate servers who enthusiastically sell them — was readily apparent on this night. Described as an evening’s salad of field greens, cherry tomatoes, shaved red onions and fennel, sliced green apple, matchstick carrots, walnuts, dried cranberries and gorgonzola cheese with a balsamic vinaigrette, this first of three verbally recited items sounded like a lighter starter in anticipation of the abundant quantities of food we knew to expect. But, as our sharp waitstaffer went on to explain, house portions, right down to the salads, are staggering. Told that this,

like the Carmine’s and Caesar salads, will typically provide enough for several people, we ate heartily and barely dented half. The ingredients, all full of verve and crunch, were tossed with care and not drowned by heavy dressing. Stuffed artichokes delivered an oversized sample of Italy’s unofficial national vegetable, filled with a golden bread-

Informed that the kitchen uses chicken stock, rather than water in the cooking process, we picked up a great culinary trick and plan on borrowing it at home in the near future. This creativity added a different flavor element than we’ve previously experienced. It’s always cool when a kitchen surprises you pleasantly, and the deep essence of that broth combined with Romano cheese and garlic worked magically together. The artichoke was expertly prepped and cooked. Not an easy process — peeling just the right amount of the spiny exterior leaves. The knife skills evidenced were nothing short of artistry. This left

only the tenderest, truly edible pieces. No need to scrape this soft flesh, the entirety of the remainder was a tasty, textural delight. We greedily devoured the entire bulb, leaving nothing behind but an outline of olive oil. Our entrees, shrimp fra diavolo and lasagne, were sizeable enough to feed at least two additional folks. We asked for the spicy seafood atop linguine, giving a food runner an opportunity to show off his presentation skills. He graciously

spooned, spiraled and plated a tight, pretty turban of pasta for us. Nicely done. The sauce was the righteous star though, bright, red and chunky, packing heat courtesy of dried red pepper. About a dozen jumbo shrimp, sweet and full of natural juices, poked their heads out of the steamy foot and half long platter. A literal brick of lasagne brought our way was two inches in depth and crafted with nine luscious layers. The traditional multi-meat mix used had been seasoned aggressively, something we really welcome in oven-baked pastas. Just as noticeable was the optimal level of moisture retained. Carmine’s version not only accentuated each element’s individual qualities, but maintained the structural integrity of this classic as we gamely dug in for seconds. Carnivores need not feel left out of the feeding frenzy here. Chicken entrees like signature specialties Scarpariello and Contadino each feature an entire, sliced bird. Four different Porterhouse steaks are available, and on Saturdays a monstrous Prime rib accomodates up to four diners. We split a pair of smaller desserts, a three-piece order of chocolate cannoli and tartufo. The latter, a baseball-shaped mound of chocolate and vanilla ice cream with a cherry center, was covered in a dark, rich chocolate shell. The cannolis, light and crisp, were finished at each of their ricotta-filled edges by the pleasant addition of crumbled pistachios. n E-mail Frank Gabriel at fgabriel@acweekly.com

LiLo Makes an A.C. Appearance at The Pool

Though she hasn’t been very busy with film work lately, Lindsay Lohan is always the center of attention. By Michael Pritchard

O B E L IN D S AY L O H A N I S T O naturally be very, very busy. What with Viennese balls to attend (and then ditch to go shopping), benefits for Haiti to organize and regular Tweets to deny whatever the latest rumor about you and your ex might happen to be — well, it doesn’t leave a girl much time (by the way, that all happened to her last week). Fortunately, when it comes to LiLo, there’s always time to party and Atlantic City club-goers will get a chance to glimpse Lindsay when she hosts an After Dark party at The Pool at Harrah’s Saturday Feb. 20. Lohan, of course, is no stranger to Atlantic City, making several appearances here when her former partner, DJ Samantha Ronson, performed at resort clubs. But then those were happier days and there were no reported Lohan sightings when Ronson worked mur.mur at Borgata last weekend. Of course, considering her busy tabloid life and occasional acting — you may remember that at one time Lohan acted in films — it can be hard to keep up with all things Lohan. So as a reader service, we offer a Lohan update, a sort of Lindsay primer, so you can act all informed and with it when Lohan makes her appearance at The Pool. That is assuming she makes her plane.

‘This is become a bit much [sic]. Samantha R never raised a hand to me. I’ve never said she did.’

F E B R U A R Y 1 8 , 2 0 1 0 / A C W E E K LY. C O M

Ronson re-Twitted: “Thank you for clearing that up. The high road was giving me a nose bleed! ;).” Then, for a general audience, she threatened legal action against anyone who continued to spread such rumors after Lohan’s denial. Lohan then Tweeted back, “You are Here’s a look at the latest headlines sur- Welcome ;).” Wow, winking smiley faces and rounding La Lohan: everything. Maybe there’s hope for Lohan and Ronson reunite, sort of: these two kids. Was there any more painful break-up to hear about then Ronson and Lohan? Lindsay drops the ball: Well, probably, as these two have been OK, the folks at Harrah’s might want to raging bitter break-up controversies make sure LiLo makes her plane on time for months. The latest dust-up comes for her gig after what happened with the from allegations that Ronson physically Vienna opera ball. Lohan was scheduled abused Lohan at a bar. Rumors hit the to appear at the ball with 77-year-old milInternet that Ronson had punched and lionaire Richard Luger, who reportedly choked Lohan. Lohan took quick action, was paying her $150,000 (apparently, paid escort is a new line for Lohan). Lohan, going to Twitter almost immediately. “This is become a bit much,”[sic] however, got caught up shopping at LAX’s Tweets Lindsay. “Samantha R never duty free shop. Her plane was held for her, raised a hand to me. I’ve never said she but Lohan couldn’t pay the late boarding did. Enough is Enough. Focus on more fee. Luger was quoted as saying the fee was more than Lohan’s credit card limit. important world issues.”

The bright side is that Lohan, who is not supposed to be in the best of financial health, probably now really needs to show up at The Pool.

and a crown of thorns, though we don’t know how often Jesus wore a plunging neckline. The shots certainly attracted attention and gave the gossip press something new to crucify Lohan with. And Lohan helps Haiti: reportedly, several Christian churches It’s not all train-wreck city for LiLo as didn’t appreciate the “edginess.” she was scheduled to host a Feb. 16 benefit for Haiti in London with Wyclef Jean Some miscellaneous LiLo facts: dubbed iRock4Haiti. She invited some Jessica Alba, whose husband was rumored celebs like Lady Gaga, Ryan Seacrest and to have been seen kissing Lohan, defends Lily Allen by Twitter (apparently they did her, says they are friends and that Lohan is not accept) and posted a YouTube video to really nice and they talk girl-talk for hours promote the event. She’s even auctioning … Lohan took to Twitter (her denial vehicle a night out with her at the benefit. The of choice) to deny she had lip injections, only problem we see here is whether she helpfully posting a picture of her lips to makes it back to the States or gets caught prove the point … Lohan recently admitted up in the duty free shop at Heathrow. to the syndicated show The Insider that she could easily get a role on Hoarders, as she Lohan goes religious: never throws stuff away … The Internet One thing you can say about Lohan: Movie Database says Lohan has two films There’s never a shortage of provocative in production, Machete and Dare to Love Me, pictures of the girl. Lohan recently posed both due out this year.

New Found Glory Where: House of Blues at Showboat, A.C. When: Friday, Feb. 19, 7pm How Much: $19.99

F E B R U A R Y 1 8 , 2 0 1 0 / A C W E E K LY. C O M

E W JE RS E Y IS A HO M E A W A Y from home for New Found Glory. “We would drive up from high school [in 1997] on the weekend and maybe play for a couple hundred kids in South, Central or North Jersey and then drive right back home, maybe play a show in the South and then be back at home and go to school Monday morning,” drummer Cyrus Bolooki tells Atlantic City Weekly. “We never forgot how important New Jersey was for us. During the later years we loved playing the Surf and Skate fest in Asbury Park. Those were some of the most awesome dates we ever played. It was such a cool environment and the fans in New Jersey were just so into it. We never forgot that. “There’s always been fans for us in New Jersey, no matter what part of the state we played in.” New Found Glory is hardly averse to returning to its old stomping grounds or re-visiting older material. The band is touring behind the re-release of its remastered eponymous album. A decade has passed since the band’s breakthrough blast of pop-punk dropped. The energetic act will showcase the 2000 album (on Drive-Thru Records) from start to finish when it performs Friday, Feb. 19, at the House of Blues at

Showboat in Atlantic City. “Our fans love that album so we’re looking forward to playing it from top to bottom,” Bolooki says while calling from his Miami home. “We want to call attention to [the re-release]. It’s something our diehard fans shouldn’t miss out on. We had fun adding the B-sides and demos.” Not to mention the playful 2002 DVD, The Story So Far, which was out of print. “Fans miss that DVD since it captures much of our early days,” Bolooki says. “A lot of those early days were spent in New Jersey.” NFG has especially enjoyed playing Atlantic City. “I’m all for that date since the House of Blues in Atlantic City is a really nice room and we pack the place,” Bolooki says. “It’s like Las Vegas there and I’m over 21, so I can play some blackjack. I like to go out to the casinos and relax and just have a good time. How can you not have a good time in Atlantic City? We’ll have fun there but there’s also some business to tend to in Atlantic City.” Aside from delivering music from its eponymous disc, NFG will also render cuts from its latest album, Not Without a Fight, which is filled with passionate, clever pop-rock. The album was produced by the band’s longtime pal, Mark Hoppus of Blink 182. “The best thing about working with Mark was that the comfort level was at an

all-time high in the studio,” Bolooki says. “There were no weird situations. It was all straightforward and we respect Mark for his musical work. We know him well since we toured with Blink 182 many years ago. It was a positive experience for everyone.” It’s hard to believe that Bolooki is just 29 and that most of his bandmates haven’t hit

‘I like to go out to the casinos and relax and just have a good time. How can you not have a good time in Atlantic City?’ 30 since the group formed 13 years ago. “I think people are taken aback by that because it seems like we’ve been around forever and I guess we have been,” Bolooki says. “The thing is that the band became pretty serious quickly and then we’ve just had such staying power.” Bolooki and his bandmates, vocalist Jordan Pundik, guitarists Chad Gilbert and Steve Klein and Ian Grushka (bass) hope to stay together for many more years. “That’s the plan,” Bolooki says. “We feel like it’s just begun even though we’ve been at this for awhile. We have some-

thing special as a band and the cool thing is that we all really like each other.” Apparently that isn’t just lip service. The band has been intact since its high school days. “It’s cool when you look at it and it’s all the same guys,” Bolooki says. “Nobody has left, but why would you leave this? I can’t imagine anything being more fun than being in New Found. It’s awesome because I grew up with those guys. We’re all still incredibly close.” Expect NFG to tour and record for many years. “I can’t imagine doing anything differently,” Bolooki says. “We have the greatest job in the world. Why would we want to do anything else? The thing is how many kids know what they want to do since they were in high school and then go out and get that career going and actually sustain it? I don’t think many do. We’re just really fortunate guys, but we’ve made some of our luck by working really hard. I think that’s what kids, who love music should know. This is hard work. You really have to put everything that you have in this. It doesn’t stop once you actually get somewhere in this business. You have to work as hard as ever once you get an audience. We’ll never stop working hard but that’s not a big deal for us since we love what we do.” n see more online @

WHITNEY’S RADAR

Love Lessons in Atlantic City By Whitney Ullman

INDING LOVE CAN BE A TOUGH and intimidating task. Last weekend the Atlantic City Harrah’s Entertainment properties held a bunch of great events centered on love (it was Valentine’s Day weekend after all) to help those in need. One of the events included a “crash course in love” with hosts Steve and JoAnn Ward from VH1’s reality show Tough Love. I was fortunate to meet with both of them after the event and I am excited to share the interesting advice they had for all of the single people out there. First, I asked the love gurus what the three things a woman should know when approaching a man and vice versa. Steve says, for a woman it is important to be sexy and that is defined as “confident, fun and approachable.” He also says to be “positive with your attitude, smile and posture. And be real. Be genuine. Don’t be afraid to be yourself.” For a man, it’s more about respect, being courteous and also having a positive attitude. JoAnn says men need to be a gentleman at all times. When I then asked if corny pickup lines work, the two immediately laughed and said bluntly, “no.” Then I got a bigger chuckle when I asked about telling a potential date if they have bad breath. Believe it or not the Wards said, “yes, definitely tell them and if you Join us on Facebook:

your number, tell them what you want them to do with it.

6. Don’t be gaudy with your nails or jewelry (in excess).

The Wards definitely made an impression on the people who came to listen to their advice. I know that some of it is easier said than done, but ladies, you’ve got to do it! Follow this advice because life is too short to not take advantage of every moment. Check out the Ward’s Web site at www.mastermatchmakers.com. I’m sure the Wards will be back in Atlantic City because when I asked them what their favorite place in Atlantic City was, they said they “loved” the Foundation Room at Showboat. “It’s really cool. Very private, great food, great atmosphere.” They also really liked Mia at Caesars. n

The Wards even offer a five-step outline for approaching someone you like:

Star Christian Marc Gendron and a live band make the Trop’s ‘Crocodile Rock’ a fun night out By Lori Hoffman

T IS AMAZING HOW MUCH ENERGY AND FUN can be injected into a casino musical revue when a real band replaces the canned music that has been the norm for the last decade in Atlantic City showrooms. The entertainment executives at the Tropicana deserve a shout out for featuring a live band in Crocodile Rock. Thanks to that live music and a lead performer, the versatile Christian Marc Gendron, who could star in a one-man version of Legends in Concert, Crocodile Rock is an enjoyable night out. It doesn’t break any new ground, but it provides exactly what you want from a casino revue — popular, upbeat songs you can sing along to, attractive dancers in occasionally skimpy costumes, and a talented leading man who knows how to work the crowd.

Thanks to live music and a lead performer, the show is an enjoyable night out. Gendron, a Canadian, is a revue veteran who has starred in Viva Casino, A Tribute to Paul Anka and Piano Men. The latter provided him the opportunity to sing the music of Elton John and Billy Joel, which comes in handy in this revue since it relies heavily on the Joel and John songbooks. He also plays the piano, guitar and drums. The show kicks off with John’s “Saturday Night’s All Right (For Fighting)” with Gendron at the piano. He switches to the front of the stage for the country-pop of “Walking in Memphis,” followed by the Hall and Oates classic “Kiss On My List.” He is backed by the excellent six-piece band that includes a sax man and horn player, and eight female dancers who both share the stage with him and take center stage for their own spotlight dance routines. In a clever move, considering the close proximity to Philadelphia, at one point the dancers walk up the aisles dressed in boxing outfits to the theme from Rocky, “Gonna Fly Now.” The boxing-style dance routine continues back on the stage with “Eye of the Tiger.” This number was a delightful change of pace from the standard dance moves in a casino revue. While Gendron doesn’t try to completely mimic the stars whose songs he interprets, he does prove he has the range to do the music made famous by the aforementioned Joel and John, as well as Tom Jones and fellow Canadians Paul Anka and Michael Buble. Gendron currently has a hit song on the Canadian charts, a

French-language version of Anka’s “Do I Love You?” that he performs in both French and English. Other highlights of the show include “Sway,” “It’s Not Unusual,” a nice falsetto for the Bee Gees’ “Stayin’ Alive,” “Still Rock and Roll to Me,” “I’m Still Standing,” “Philadelphia Freedom,” Phil Collins’ “In The Air Tonight” and Peter Allen’s “I Go To Rio.” The band takes center stage for a drum-percussion duel that again illustrates how better a show sounds with real musicians, and the lady dancers, fronted by singer Bonnie Jordan, have a blast with “Hot Hot Hot.” In conclusion, Crocodile Rock is fun fun fun. n see more online @

Valentine’s Day

Starstruck Love

Movie-star power generates the fun in ‘Valentine’s Day’ By Lori Hoffman

IRECTOR GARRY MARSHALL IS shameless when it comes to wringing every bit of sentimentality he can from a romantic comedy template. He took a tough-minded screenplay about a hooker called 3000 and turned it into Pretty Woman as a prime example. With Valentine’s Day he has squeezed a ton of stars into a tight space in a romantic comedy that those of baby boomer age might connect with the TV series Love American Style (1969-1973) that featured three or four romantic vignettes per episode. Matter of fact, Marshall directed a couple of episodes in the series. Younger rom-com fans might see Valentine’s Day as Marshall’s Americanized version of the British rom-com Love Actually. Now I bet you are primed for a negative review. Yes, Marshall is a sucker for drippy romance, but even as you wait for the parade of clichés to continue, a great cast makes this series of interconnected vignettes more than palatable. There is a reason there are movie stars — we like them, we really like them. Valentine’s Day HHHH Directed by Garry Marshall; Rated PG-13

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief HHHH Directed by Chris Columbus; rated PG

There is a reason there are movie stars — we like them, we really like them. And, you can’t have a Marshall film without his good-luck charm, Hector Elizondo, who has been in 12 of Marshall’s movies. Here he gets to play one half of a mature couple opposite Shirley MacLaine. There are teen couples as well, one played by rising stars Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift, the other played by the talented and less showy combo of Emma Roberts (daughter of Eric, niece of Julia) and Carter Jenkins (from the TV series Surface). Queen Latifah doesn’t join in the love fest, but her comedic highlight might be the funniest 15 seconds on the big screen this year. George Lopez has more screen time than most as he provides sage

home to mama. I really enjoyed his movie-star explosion of sweet love.

We like our TV stars too. We like Julia Roberts’ laugh and Jennifer Garner’s sweetness. We love McDreamy (Patrick Dempsey) and McSteamy (Eric Dane) from Grey’s Anatomy. We love Ashton Kutcher’s goofiness, which is in full bloom here as he plays the lovestruck owner of a flower shop.

‘Percy’ Mimics ‘Potter’

advice for his boss (he works at the flower shop). Heck, I haven’t even mentioned Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Jamie Foxx, Anne Hathaway, Topher Grace, Bradley Cooper, Larry Miller, Kathy Bates and Joe Mantegna, the latter in an uncredited cameo appearance. As much as Valentine’s Day is often silly and predictable, it is a predictability so energized by endless star power, it works. Valentine’s Day infuses the romantic entanglements with lots of comedy, which makes the sappier elements of the true love moments easier to take. Look, confession time here. One of my official “guilty pleasures” is Marshall’s Exit to Eden, a universally panned romantic comedy/cop buddy picture set at a resort where all your kinky sexual fantasies can come true. And yes, Marshall made that theme seem sweet and romantic, too. After that sordid confession, what else can I say — when it comes to Mr. Marshall, my cynical side goes running

When a phenomenal book series for kids becomes a phenomenal movie series, movie producers are naturally going to look for the next big thing to recreate the magic. Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief is the most recent result, a weak knockoff of the HP formula that feels second rate all the way down the line from the special effects to the storyline. Basically it is about teenage demigods, children of Olympic gods who mated with humans. These demigods must save the earth by returning Zeus’ stolen lightning bolt. The titled character (played by Logan Lerman) has just learned that he is the son of Poseidon and that saving the world is at the top of his “to do” list. While it was pretty funny seeing exJames Bond Pierce Brosnan as a half-man, half-horse centaur, and finding out that Medusa (Uma Thurman) is hanging out in Jersey Devil territory, Leeds Point, N.J., the rest is extremely forgettable. n To read more about movies and other topics covered by movie critic Lori Hoffman visit the ‘Atlantic City Central’ blog at http://blog.acweekly.com/
