Britt Plunkett runs his forearm across his head, pushing sweat off his brow. “I actually took a picture of the thermostat,” he says. “I just had to record it: 99 degrees.”For Paul Rudd, the decision to star in Jay Roach’s new comedy, “Dinner for Schmucks,” was an easy one. “I thought the script was really funny,” he says. “That was it. It was kind of a no-brainer.” Of course Rudd, who’s built an impressive resume of smart comedies, was just as enamored of the man behind the camera. Though Lilith Fair returned from an 11-year hiatus to a very different musical landscape, it is one that Sarah McLachlan and Co. helped lay the blueprints for more than a decade ago.Although facts on the famed Clinton-Mezvinsky wedding, which is rumored to happen this weekend, are tighter than Hillary Clinton’s smile, some details have leaked out.

PREVIEW. If there’s anyone you can trust with your night out, it’s the boys of Soulclap, Charles Levine and Eli Goldstein. Why? Because they keep the party going, without getting the cops called on you.
“We have nice sound systems, nice sounds for outdoors … but not loud enough to disturb the neighbors.”
The duo, along with Marz Entertainment and Red Bull, host the series of open-air party events Dancing on the Charles, and it seems that the second annual string of celebrations has all the bases covered, from port-a-potties on site to the tiki torches and Red Bull-supplied outdoor furniture. Levine says the idea for the event, which has grown to include seven dates since its inception last year, is inspired by places like Ibiza, Miami, and Los Angeles where parting outdoors is the norm. However, the real inspiration for the parties were the electronica kings’ amigos. “It really started for our friends who were bored with Boston night life,” Levine says. “But once everyone found out how authentic we were, and how much fun we were having, we went from about 150 people to 300 … and booked four more dates.”
While Dancing on the Charles is a showcase for electronic dance music and a chance for Boston’s DJs to “get a little love in their own backyard” as Levine puts it, the half of Soulclap stresses the event is hardly exclusive.
“It’s for anyone with an open mind and a free spirit,” says Levine. “It’s about a love of DJ music, and you can see that so expressed on the dance floor.”
