Wednesday, October 12, 2011
He wasn’t here to solve mysteries; he was just having a good time with his family. Shaun Cassidy, the '70s teen heartthrob from The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries television show, was seen out and about town in Newport this past weekend. Son of Academy Award winner Shirley Jones and Tony Award winner Jack Cassidy, Shaun got his start while still in high school. He landed a recording deal with Warner Bros. and got a Grammy nomination, and from there it was history. After his time as a Hardy was up, he released a few more music albums and starred on the TV show Breaking Away, and now he’s primarily a TV writer and producer. Cassidy was spotted with family enjoying the local fare and ambience at The Mooring. Hope those of you who grew up with his wavy brown locks caught a glimpse…
There was a real "A-Lister" at Downcity Restaurant on Sunday. Rodiney Santiago from The A-List: New York was spotted eating at the former Kitchen Nightmares eatery. For the uninitiated, The A-List: NY is a Real Housewives-style show on the LGBT network Logo that follows the lives of six gay and bisexual men in New York. Santiago is a Brazilian model and during the first season of the show, his main storyline was his relationship with Reichen Lehmkuhl, who is known for winning the fourth season of The Amazing Race and for his previous romance with Lance Bass. And before you go drawing any hasty conclusions, he wasn’t there for Downcity’s popular drag brunch…

You read right here that 30 Rock star Alec Baldwin's foundation donated $10,000 to Adams Memorial Library in Central Falls. Did you know that Baldwin actually called the library last week and told the front desk worker he wanted to send them a check for ten grand? The library's fundraiser last Friday night featured guests including Rep. David Cicilline donating to the library's cause. Baldwin said he'd like to visit the over 100-year old building himself, and we'd certainly have no complaints of he decided to stop by Providence as well...
There's a new book about The Biebs in which a Brown University grad plays an important role. Belieber!: Fame, Faith, and the Heart of Justin Bieber by Cathleen Falsani (who has interviewed famous people such as Barack Obama, U2's Bono, Elie Wiesel, and Anne Rice) is about tween singing sensation Justin Bieber's Christian faith and the part it has played in his success. One chapter of the book addresses Justin's charitable works, and largely focuses on Adam Braun, Brown '06, the younger brother of Justin's manager Scooter Braun. Adam was inspired by his travels during his junior year at Brown to form a charity called Pencils of Promise. The foundation builds schools in impoverished areas of the world, and Justin was one of the organization's first supporters, and is now one of its biggest advocates. Just goes to show how Rhode Island alums end up in high places…
