Also, this week was our final Suburbarazzi segement with RNN’s Stacy-Ann Gooden. I wanted to give her a big hug and throw together a Best of Stacy-Ann reel, but since her departure wasn’t quite official when we taped the piece, we couldn’t put any of that in there. But as my Chris so eloquently put it in his post yesterday, working with Stacy-Ann has been one of the great joys of our jobs for the last year. Every Tuesday afternoon was a little brighter because of her.

Plus, I’m happy to report, after a string of recent, uncharacteristic wrong answers, Stacy-Ann got her final Suburbarazzi quiz correct!

Can you get this multiple-choice question right, too?

The quiz this week—which I’m very happy to say stumped Stacy-Ann (woohoo!) ...

The answer, as always, is at the end of the video and after the break.

Now, the Mayer and Dillon connections have been well reported. But did you guess Diddy, like Stacy-Ann? Even though Mr. Combs have vehemently denied the rumors, that hasn’t stopped dozens of tabloids from reporting that the two were awfully close at a party recently held at Price’s house.

A. Harvard
B. UCLA
C. Syracuse
D. Howard

Now, unlike Karen DePodwin, please don’t look this up on Google. That’s called cheating, friends.

Make an honest guess, then watch the video or click through to read the answer after the break.

Answer: C. Syracuse, where coincidentally, Rye’s Bob Woodruff also delivered the commencement address over the weekend (Williams gave the convocation speech).

You know, come to think of it, you could have also gotten the answer in an even simpler way: just scrolling down on our homepage. That, I’d like to clarify, is not cheating.
