The ever-so-helpful Columbia homepage has a story about Natalie Portman’s legendary visit to Stuart Gottlieb’s Terrorism & Counterterrorism class. Most important, however, is a link to the video footage! See Natalie on Van Am Quad! See Gottlieb looking hot! See yourself, unshaven and weary-eyed, totally unprepared for contact with Hollywood royalty! Also, there’s a full […]

Guess who’s coming to the Varsity Show this year? That’s right, you guessed it… Art Garfunkel, C ’65, of Simon and Garfunkel fame.

Update: Unexciting pictures after the jump. Film trucks for August Rush have returned to campus.

Eight years after Katie Holmes decides to permanently defer enrollment at Columbia, Daddy Holmes decides he wants his $500 deposit back. Is the Scientology wedding really turning out to be that expensive?

Movie filming at Columbia! No, the Olsen twins aren’t making their glorious return—yet—but Columbia may catch glimpses this Wednesday of Robin Williams, that Felicity girl, hottie Jonathan Rhys Meyers, and that cute kid from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory filming August Rush. The movie poses that most important of questions: if you were separated from […]

A rumor swept across campus this afternoon that Tom Selleck, star of Magnum P.I. and champion of mustachioed men everywhere, was at The West End, enjoying a burger and fries. After much investigation, Bwog regrets to inform you that it was only a Tom Selleck look-alike. Sigh.

Sara Vogel says: Just in case you didn’t know, they’re shooting Law and Order up at 116th and Broadway right now, the trucks and trailers extend past Barnard!

From Bored at Butler: So looking at a hot celebrity is emotional cheating? My gf and I love eachother, and the only emotions I feel when I look at an attractive girl are physical ones. The reason it’s not a problem is because we know that our relationship is so strong in every aspect, there […]

And won. Excerpts from the (WAY TOO […]

Bwog staffer Brendan Ballou sat down with Columbia junior Jamie, a writer for the Fed, the former singer for the F-Holes, and current Suicide Girl to discuss knitting, pornography, and why the Blue and White is too pretentious.
