Dave Portnoy didn’t just come to New Haven for a slice — he came to reaffirm its throne. The Barstool Sports "El Presidente” made a whirlwind stop through six pizzerias around the New Haven region, tossing out ratings and raising crusts like a pizza pope on tour. Portnoy, who’s munched his way across the country, calls the Elm City area a “Dave Portnoy stronghold” — a bold, sauce-splattered badge of honor in a town that takes its pie as seriously as its history. Portnoy has made several visits to New Haven, handing out massive scores. The top three: Sally's Apizza earned a 9.2 …

'Hate! Him!' Richard Gere Under Fire From Paul Simon's Daughter For Selling Her Former CT Home
"Pretty Woman" star Richard Gere's decision to sell his Connecticut estate that once belonged to famed singer-songwriter Paul Simon has irked Simon's daughter enough to wish a curse upon him. Why such vitriol from the 30-year-old daughter of one half of the legendary duo Simon & Garfunkel? According to an Instagram story posted on Tuesday, July 8, by Lulu Simon, Gere promised to "take care of the land as condition of his purchase."

Meet Chuck Adams, The CT Singer Going Viral After Blowing Away 'AGT' Judges
Chuck Adams refused to let broken record deals or long odds silence his voice. The 40-year-old singer from Connecticut stepped onto the “America’s Got Talent” stage with only an acoustic guitar, but he carried years of hard lessons and one unstoppable supporter: his mother, Betty. “I’ve been singing my whole adult life," he said.

That’s what this opportunity is about for me.” It was Betty who nudged him for a decade to try out for "AGT," and she was right to have pushed him all along, judging by the standing ovation he received.…

It's one bite. Everybody knows the rules. But Dave Portnoy broke it in his latest "One Bite Pizza Review" after fearing that a Boston pizzeria didn't get a fair chance because of a line cutter and excessive "box time." It was such a break from form that the Barstool Sports' El Presidente began to question if he'd gotten "too soft" and sparked an existential crashout on the sidewalk.
