REAL HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: How You Gonna Have Some Poetry With No Poet?

And they’re off! Yes, The Real Housewives of Atlanta are back, and they truly are better than before. The second season premiere hit the ground running in a frenetic, dizzying way — a far cry from those lazy early days of the franchise pre-zeitgeist. It’s almost impossible to recap everything that happened in the hour, but …

Hey HEY Hey: 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' Are Back Tonight!

It’s only been about a month since the latest Real Housewives franchise wrapped up its season, but man, what a boring, dull month it’s been. NYC Prep is okay (I’m entranced by the one girl who looks like she’s a thirty-five year old with baby teeth), Miami Social is a bit ehhhh, and I can’t …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Someone Needs To Shake Up This High School

It’s sad that the only way I can seem to do photocaps these days is if I wait for the one time a week when CBS posts pics from the HOH’s digital camera. Alas, that’s the best we can get; so I guess I’ll make the most of it. Actually, there are some amusing trends …

FLIGHT BLOG: New York to LA Live!

Well, here I am. On another plane. But unlike my recent Alaska and Jetblue excursions, this time I’m on American Airlines, and you know what that means — GoGo in flight wireless! That means that I am writing to you live from the skies, relaying useful and petty information AS IT HAPPENS. The glories of technology. …

MISADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: IndianJones Kitchen Fiasco

My friend IndianJones is a surprisingly adept chef. Despite questionable knife skills (he fears chopping his already small digits off), he can put together a solid meal. Heck, the kid can even bake a thing or two (he supplied our clique, a.k.a. the Lametourage, with homemade soda bread on St. Patty’s Day). But IndianJones’s recent …

Apologies. I Am Dreadfully Behind.

With the exception of two days in Los Angeles last week, I have been traveling for what feels like ten months (read: thirteen days), and as a result, I’ve fallen woefully behind on my daily blog routines, particularly my coverage of Big Brother. Luckily, I return to a relatively normal schedule this Wednesday when I …

'Next Food Network Star' Selects Its Two Finalists

The Next Food Network Star upped its game last night by forcing its final three contestants to whip up a luxurious, “ultimate” three course dinner party for an imposing table of Food Network stars and celebrity chefs. It was a fairly daunting task, and while all three did a fine job, only two could move …

Behold The Intensity of 'The Hurt Locker'

I took in a viewing of the critically lauded film The Hurt Locker this week, and needless to say, it was VERY intense. I pretty much needed a nap afterwards. But that’s a good thing. (My friend IndianJones was in such a state of suspense that he actually sat upright like an alert cat during …

Awful Toddler Ruins What Could Have Been A Delightful Transcontinental Flight

Today I flew from Los Angeles to New York, and I had the supreme displeasure of being seated directly behind the world’s worst toddler. I knew this kid was bad news way back at Burbank airport when he came running up to me and HID behind my luggage. I don’t like when unruly children with …
