Congrats, Lifetime. You've Made 'Project Runway' Look Like The Worst Thing Ever

Remember when Project Runway was the hippest reality show around, beloved for its urbane appeal and sophisticated style? Well, now it’s on Lifetime, and if this promo is any indication, the emphasis has moved away from upmarket elitism and more towards Middle American mom-jeans milquetoast. If I sound snobby, well, that’s because I am. Truth …

Your First Glimpse Into The 'Big Brother' House!

Ten days ago, an exciting thing happened: I was invited to spend the day in the Big Brother house along with eleven other members of the media. This was a minor dream come true: I got to taste the Big Brother experience without committing to a summer of national exposure (most of which I’m sure …

PROJECT SCALLION: The Experiment Begins

Scallions can really be a pain in my ass sometimes. If you buy too many, they wilt. If you buy too few, you run out. It’s a balancing act that can drive a man to tears, but thankfully, I think I’ve stumbled upon a solution. You see, during last week’s episode of Next Food Network …

Bemoaning the Michael Jackson Grief Helicopters

You know what’s annoying? Having THIS helicopter hovering over your apartment ALL DAY LONG. Yes, it’s one of many Michael Jackson Grief Helicopters (a.k.a. the local news) that are hovering over Hollywood, capturing images of people flocking to the aforementioned unflockable Michael Jackson star. I’m all for the mourning process, but the choppers have to …

Attempting To Visit Michael Jackson's Star, Pt. II

Yesterday, I tried to visit Michael Jackson’s star but found it unfortunately covered up by Bruno premiere scaffolding. Today, I decided to give it another go. My gym is conveniently located half a block away from it on the Walk of Fame; so I made a little detour to see what I imagined would be …

Big Brother Video Footage Has Arrived!

Well lookie at what I have here: footage from press day at the Big Brother house. I just watched it, and I must say — my mind is slightly blown. On the one hand, it was like I was watching a normal episode. But then right there in the middle is ME. Something seems incongruent with …

Attempting to Visit Michael Jackson's Star

With the new of Michael Jackson’s untimely passing today, IndianJones and I decided to trek on down to the King of Pop’s star on the nearby Walk of Fame. Sounded like an easy enough endeavor, and thanks to Jash, we knew exactly where the star was located. But things are never as simple as they …

Everybody Is Dying!

First Ed McMahon. Then Farrah Fawcett. Now MICHAEL JACKSON. Talk about a trio. But yes, very sad news. Not only did Farrah Fawcett pass away this morning, now it seems it’s official that Michael Jackson — the controversial King of Pop — has shockingly died this afternoon at the UCLA Medical Center after suffering a massive cardiac …

REAL WORLD PHOTOCAP: "Don't Drink The Water, and Don't Get AIDS."

“Don’t drink the water, and don’t get AIDS.” Yup, that pretty much sums up The Real World Cancun so far. The quote, as spoken by Joey on last night’s premiere episode, serves as the two major guidelines for what looks like a silly, silly season. I’ll admit that my expectations coming into this season were …
