Metromixers, what are you doing this Friday night? Going to bed at 1 a.m. like a good little boy or girl? Wrong answer! You’re heading to Looptopia—Chicago’s second annual all-night party!

The dusk to dawn affair features live music, art exhibits, dance, and the general craziness that ensues when human beings stay awake all night long. Sounds mighty fun, doesn’t it?

Great grub at 7, 8, 9, and midnight! We'll hit the new bar and grill Tallulah's in Lincoln Square, we'll chat with some up and coming female chefs at Kendall College, and Chicago Tribune food critic Phil Vettel will review Gabriel's in Highwood AND Vermilion on Hubbard in the city. I'll see you tonight....but for now...enjoy a little food-related satire from the Onion News Network...right after the jump...

Let's face it, you're busy..right? And you TRY to eat healthy...but is there a way to do it quickly, easily, and not have it cost an arm and a leg? There is.

It's called "Healthy Eating Tips At Home", and for the recipes of what you saw (and more), just click.

The new single from Coldplay is called "Violet Hill". They're offering it for free...click for the details:

Marcus Leshock here! Summer movie season is officially here, the most exciting time of year for movie fans everywhere! Instead of doing your traditional Summer Movie Preview 2008, I've decided to actually rank the top 8 movies of the summer without seeing one of them! This way we can all sit down in September and have a good laugh at how wrong I was. So keep reading after the jump for my Top 8 movies on summer 2008, complete with each of their trailers!

People.com is reporting that actors Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson are engaged. It looks like the 31-year-old Reynolds couldn’t wait to be a hubby--- he was previously engaged to musician Alanis Morrisette before their long-term romance fizzled. This is 23-year-old Johansson’s first engagement, and the Hollywood duo has yet to set a wedding date.

The new trailer for "Batman: The Dark Knight" has just mesmerized me with its awesomeness. It's got more than enough Heath Ledger to get you fired up for July 18th. Just look at some of the little touches he's adding to the Joker, particularly that freakish tongue smacking around his scarred lips. They're not kidding when they say this guy was into the role. Wow. Watch the full trailer in fantastic HD video.....here.

I love this song from the sexy Sri Lankan musician, M.I.A. Check it out.

This week our Neighborhood Tour was in the Back Of The Yards and New City part of town.

Ever see a grown man cry? Marcus Leshock here, admittedly going a little stir crazy, like I do towards the end of every American Idol season. Last night the contestants sang songs from the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame. As always, I put together a little video recap for ChicagoLive.com. Here it is:

I LOVE that two of my favorite bands (Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails) are changing the way we access music!

Following the footsteps of Radiohead’s “In Rainbows” release in October, Trent Reznor’s giving fans a chance to download the new 10-track NIN album (The Slip) for FREE, in any format.

Jackie checked out the sweet creations @ Berry Chill in River North on this weeks Let's Eat. So we thought it would be a cool to spread the love with another spot we recently featured ont he show called Just Indulge.

Its new to the custard game in the city. I hope you enjoy it as much as Bahar did.

Think being a food critic is all glam and glory? Hardly. Somebody's gotta sample the overcooked steak and burnt bruschetta so we don't have to!
