Southern California to promote the debut season of their MTV reality TV show. How sure was Snooki? About as sure as a Jersey haze on a summer morning. "It was the first time we were in L.A., and I feel like she was flirting with Pauly -- and I feel like they made out," she told Celebuzz. "But that was like three years ago."

It may be Dostoevsky, and it may be on stage, but the actor getting rave reviews at Trinity Rep's current production of Crime and Punishment is TV and stage star Dan Butler. Butler is best known for his comedic turn as Bob "Bulldog" Briscoe on Frasier, the critically acclaimed and immensely popular NBC sitcom from the 1990s starring Kelsey Grammer and David Hyde Pierce. Longtime theatergoers will remember Butler from earlier Providence years, as he was a member of the company at Trinity from 1978-1984.
