TV. Food. Pop Culture.
Oh hai! Los Angeles has been undergoing a major fusion craze for a few months now, courtesy of Kogi’s Taco Truck, which has made Asian tacos all the rage. I haven’t actually partaken in Kogi-mania as the reported one hour lines (not to mention surly public relations staff) seem a bit much for a few …

The first part of The Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion special aired last night, and the predominant feeling was… eh? I knew it would be damn near impossible to live up to the televised nirvana that was The Last Supper director’s cut hour from last week, but who knew this reunion would be so …

Still recovering from the snooze-athon that was NYC Prep? Well, thankfully we have another episode of Top Chef Masters tonight to drag us out of the doldrums. Among the competing chefs this week will be Rick Bayless and Ludo Lefebvre, the latter of whom reality fans may remember for his cameo appearance on The Apprentice …

Hey, girl with fifty-six stars on her face — this news might be perfect for you: I just received a text from Dr. Will, famously of Big Brother and Dr. 90210. He has this news to share: My Irvine clinic is doing FREE tattoo removal all day today (until 8:00 pm). If you know anyone who …

BAM! It’s a Nene house tour! Check it out! Bravo JUST released this clip moments ago. The Real Housewives of Atlanta are back for season two, and joining them is new cast member Kandi, formerly of the ’90s not-so-supergroup Xscape. To be honest, I haven’t even watched this video. I’m just gonna post it, and …
I am incredibly excited for tonight’s first hour of the two-part Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion; although, I fear that after last week’s monster episodes, it’s gonna be something of a letdown. I mean, how can you top Teresa’s legendary table flip? You can’t. You absolutely can’t. Still, it should be a fun hour …

Oh what a glorious morning. I woke up not knowing what I’d be writing about (sorry, my trip to the Big Brother house on Friday must stay under wraps for another week), but then I checked my email. My friend jash had alerted me that will.i.am from The Black Eyed Peas and Perez Hilton from, …

Earlier this week, B-Side Blog reader Sisofjash sent me an email urging me to go to the nearby Huntington Botanical Gardens in Pasadena to check out the very rare and supposedly very malodorous blooming of a “corpse flower.” This exciting event only happens once every few years, and apparently, it’s been witnessed by humans less …
I was very excited about last night’s Top Chef Masters because I’d actually dined at two of the chefs’ restaurants. Three, if you count Betty. Just over a year ago, I dined at Graham Elliot (the Chicago restaurant of chef Graham Elliot Bowles) and enjoyed the experience very much. I even took several photos, which …

In case you missed it last night, here’s the explosive (read: HILARIOUS) video of Teresa flipping a table at Danielle, née Montana Moorehead, née Milton Moorehead, during the Real Housewives of New Jersey finale. Watching her rev herself up into a frenzy is something to behold. Even people who don’t watch the show should be …
