TV. Food. Pop Culture.
It occurred to me this morning that it’s been ages since I’d written up a photocap for The Real Housewives of New York City. Maybe that’s because the new cast has yet to really gel (or at least spark). The revamped RHONYC has been something of a mild failure. The show is still entertaining to …

Well, Willie is gone, which means things are a lot tamer in the Big Brother house. That doesn’t mean things are any less entertaining. Last night’s episode saw a goofy Veto challenge replete with Dorito costumes, slide whistles, and quacky music. Sometimes I think the producers are aiming squarely at the 7 year old demographic, …
I’m rather peeved at Willie’s early exit from Big Brother because it has deprived me of a season of punny headlines: “Willie to Power,” “Good Willie Hunting,” “Willie Da Foe,” “Chilly Willie,” “Willie Nillie,” “Willie’s Wonky Chocolate Factory” (assuming there was an episode pertaining to a rectal dysfunction), and, of course, “Free Willie.” Alas, my …

Is it too early to say that Big Brother is back? After two seasons of cast members who just voted with the majority and were afraid to make ripples, we are back with a household of schemers and hot heads. In last night’s episode, we saw a meltdown, an insurrection, and battle of egos. THIS …

Well, the time has nearly come to say goodbye to our first houseguest of the season on Big Brother. Technically, we already said goodbye to Jodi, but she barely counts as her only contributions to the show thus far have been smiling awkwardly and falling over. Actually, that’s kind of awesome. Coming into Wednesday’s show, …

There were all sorts of big moments for The Real Housewives of New Jersey last night. Melissa Gorga finally put herself on display on display at Beatstock, a gig that attracted 10,000 festivalgoers, at least according to her. One look at the empty seats beyond the mosh pit seemed to indicate otherwise. Poor Melissa (and …

You guys… I think I really like this season of Big Brother so far. I know it’s early, and I know nothing really has happened, but we’ve only had two episodes; so we can’t expect too much. That being said, the potential for scheming feels high. With the four coaches already plotting each other’s demise …

And suddenly, just like that, our summer has once again fallen under the spell of Big Brother. Yes, Julie Chen and her beguiling sartorial decisions were back last night with the premiere of Big Brother 14, which saw the return of many of our favorite things: idiots, silly challenges, and, of course, an epic twist. …

Not a huge amount happened on this week’s episode of Real Housewives of New Jersey. It felt vaguely like a scrapheap episode, one formed from random odds and ends of footage. The focus began on Teresa and her brother Joe as they both agreed that therapy simply wasn’t for them. After all, it’s not like …

The Real Housewives of Orange County was a veritable smorgasbord of dumb drama last night, and that’s usually the way it goes with these flaxen bitches, who perennially rally to give us the craziest season finales year after year. Last week, Earth nearly came to a halt when it was discovered that resident drunkard / …
