Bob Dylan was downright chatty in a new interview. He talked about his recent albums of 'standards' and an encounter with NJ's own Frank Sinatra.

Another Newark native, Shaquille O'Neal, also is making headlines amid honors out in California. The retired NBA icon chatted with Jimmy Kimmel about whether his kids are showing basketball talent.
