With Wall Street losing a trillion dollars and everything else pretty much falling apart in this country, MTV on Monday took a page out of the Spartan Cheerleaders book and said, “You know what this country needs? THE PERFECT CHEER.” And that cheer came in the form of an utterly wonderful new episode of The …

TV Avalanche!
There’s been so much good TV in the past few days â€â€Ã‚ I just haven’t had time to write about it all. So while I tend to the Hills recap, I open the floor to you all: Has Charlie found a true friend in Marcus on Survivor? Or, more specifically, how long until Marcus shatters Charlie’s …
Bike For A Good Cause
Bike-a-thon! I don’t often encourage readers to engage in charitable causes, but I’m bucking that trend today. My friend Meeshie is participating in the MS Bike Ride this weekend in New York City, an event aimed at raising money for multiple sclerosis research. It’s a great and important cause targeting something that affects more people …
Farewell, Sweet Keychain
Back in the fall of 1997, I received a nifty bottle-opener keychain at Dartmouth orientation. It was a stellar addition to my burgeoning key ring as it was both very practical and completely free. Oh, how I enjoyed those heady days of popping the caps off beer bottles without a care in the world. Over …
LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACCESS! A Journey to Planet Hollywood
When I was in ninth grade, my dreams came true one night when my brother took me to Planet Hollywood in New York City. Surely I would be in for a night of celebrities and glamor, the likes of which had never been experienced outside the hallowed city limits of Los Angeles. Well, we didn’t …

The Return of Judy Grimes
I’ve made no attempt to hide my love for Kristen Wiig, and on this past weekend’s installment of Saturday Night Live, a versatile cast member reprised her hilarious role of frazzled travel writer Judy Grimes (she of the “just kidding” fixation). If you missed the skit, feel free to check it out in the video …
DEAD CELEBRITIES: Paul Newman Edition
Hollywood became a little less cool today as acclaimed acting legend Paul Newman passed away at 83 after a long battle with cancer. Oddly enough, last night at the supermarket, I contemplated purchasing a Newman’s Own Peanut Butter Cup, but then opted against it for fear that it wouldn’t live up to my expectations. Still, …

Blackberry Faces The Cosmic Wrath of B-Side Blog
Stocks for Blackberry fell 20% last night and continued to plummet an additional 25% today after engaging in a risky investment in smartphones. Why do I care? Well, because last night I was on the list for a Blackberry party in Beverly Hills, but when I showed up with my usual cohorts of Jash and …

ADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: Quesadillas Edition
When you’re a blogger, you live life in the fast lane, and never was that more apparent than earlier this week when my friend Laura and I made quesadillas on the faux Foreman grill. Yes, it was a glamorous affair, full of multiculturalism and Pam Cooking Spray, and being the dutiful blogger that I am, …
