TV. Food. Pop Culture.
I don’t know how it was for the rest of the country, but the weather in LA this past weekend was fantastic, and what better way to enjoy the sunshine than by stepping out and taking a hike? Inspired by a recent post in LAist about hidden staircases in Hollywood, I recruited two fellow hoofers …

Last weekend I returned from a rousing night out with my friends quite drunk and quite hungry, and in such situations, it’s not uncommon for me to summon a sober party and request transport to the nearest late night eatery, particularly if it means venturing into Koreatown for some late night galbi, bulgogi, tofu, or …

I really didn’t think The Real Housewives of New York City could top Tuesday’s tumultuous hour of reunion fighting, but last night, they proved me wrong. Thursday was Kelly’s time to truly shine, and what we got was nothing but a stream of incoherent ramblings from the model/socializer/owl enthusiast. The woman literally made no sense, …

Photo courtesy of Rickey.org I should have more faith in America. After David Cook pulled the surprise â€â€Ã‚ and deserved â€â€Ã‚ upset over David Archuletta on last year’s American Idol finale, I should have realized that often America doesn’t blindly follow the misguided praise of the judges. If I had remembered that, I wouldn’t have been so …

Well, ladies and gentlemen, after many marvelous weeks in the big city, the Real Housewives franchise has headed back to the ‘burbs for its third spin-off, The Real Housewives of New Jersey, and I gotta tell you: it’s showing lots of promise. So far, I don’t really hate anyone yet, and while Danielle seems like …

It doesn’t matter how many times it happens, watching Kelly and Bethenny fight on The Real Housewives of New York City is always fantastic. I think it has something to do with the fact that they completely do not communicate (and that Kelly’s arguments are always so bizarre that they take on a certain surrealist …

These reunions just keep getting better. The Real Housewives of New York City descended on Wall Street last night for part one of their vociferous, catty showdown, and to say that tempers flared would be an understatement. Moderator Andy Cohen proved to be more inept than usual as he demonstrated a near inability to control …
SNL’s Casey Wilson Reads Internet Comments from Casey Wilson Here’s an amusing video from Saturday Night Live’s Casey Wilson. It involves the Internet, emotions, and ambling down Western Avenue in Los Angeles. Plus, as an added bonus, she’s wearing the same outfit she wore on the plane when I stalked her from across the aisle! …
There can only be one explanation for the unmitigated praise that the American Idol judges bestowed on Adam and Danny last night: crack. Well, I suppose there’s a second explanation: the music must just sound different live. Danny and Adam, who admittedly have very powerful voices, must translate stupendously well in person because on TV, …

I could really go for a Triscuit right now. There are three things that make any Hills episode good: Kelly Cutrone getting mad, Heidi having an illogical argument with another girl, and Audrina telling off Justin Bobby. Just our luck that last night’s show had all three of those elements. By far the most entertaining …
