The Best of IndianJones

The Los Angeles crew lost a vital member of its community today. And by vital, I mean “stocky, even-keeled, and generally assholish.” Yes, I’m talking about the beloved IndianJones, who is currently driving northward to the icy climes of San Francisco where he has taken a job with Internet giant Yahoo! (exclamation theirs, not mine). …

Meet The (Rumored) DC Housewives!

Gossip broke today when Washington wag Carol Joynt reported that the new cast of the Real Housewives of D.C. had been finalized. Of course, nothing is official, and for all we know, this Carol Joynt — or CJ as I’m wont to call her — may be completely off her rocker. But according to NBC Washington, CJ …

Explosion on the Set of 'Top Chef!' Fingernails Possibly Scalded

The battery pack on a microphone exploded into flames on the set of Top Chef — a freak accident which was thankfully captured on camera by the dutiful crew of the culinary reality show. It’s sort of cool to watch; although, the fact that Bravo treats it like lost footage from The Hurt Locker kind of …

RACHEL ZOE PHOTOCAP: Rachel Shuts It Down

IT’S A BRADSASTER! Rachel Zoe has come down with… a cold! Or maybe a stomach virus. Or perhaps food poisoning. Whatever it is, she feels terrible and wants to throw up. Yes, this was the state of affairs at the end of last night’s The Rachel Zoe Project, and as the dramatic stylist was returned …

Well, the two of them apparently struck up a conversation, and eventually, it led to the nifty little video above. Here’s …

These Previews… Are… Bah…Nananas

Rachel vs. the concept of animation. There’s another new episode of The Rachel Zoe Project on tonight, and if these previews are any indication, it’s gonna be more ridiculous than ever. In the first video, Rachel grapples with the concept of having to offer fashion advice to animated characters. That’s right — for some reason, she’s …

Scott Weiland Forces Plane Into Emergency Landing; Bemused Emailing Ensues

Now THIS would have been a flight to blog. I just received this email from my friend Jeff who is attempting to fly from LAX to Miami: “my plane just made an emergency landing in Dallas because Scott Weiland od’d on prescription meds. Sort of amazing.” This was then followed by: “I also just convinced …

SURVIVOR PHOTOCAP: Holy Crap! That Was Just Episode ONE?

OMG, as they say. Survivor: Samoa kicked off last night, and I think I’m not being too hyperbolic in saying that it was one of the best, if not THE best, season openers of all time. Sadly, this is probably thanks to Russell H. (not to be confused with gentle, likable Russel S., who may …

SHILL TIME: Fun For The Ladies (And The Gays)

Time to shill for a friend (as if I don’t do that enough — btw, check out my friend Heather’s book, Eat Your Feelings: Recipes for Self-Loathing. On sale now and beloved by the New Yorker!). Anyway, my buddy Chris models, and apparently there’s a website out there which is attempting to crown “the hottest …
