ADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: Blood Orange Martini Edition

It’s been a while since I posted about a Fresh Cocktail Hour. In the past, my friends and I have conjured up Bloody Marys and jalapeño margaritas from scratch. At last I have a new addition to the canon. Last weekend, in a fit of impromptu citrus indulgence, I decided to buy some blood oranges …

REAL HOUSEWIVES PREVIEW: Here's A Shock: More Bitchiness!

It’s Thursday, which means tonight we’ll once again be inundated with loads of good TV. Chief among the offerings is Real Housewives of New York City, which looks to serve up yet another healthy dose of drama for the masses. Not everything is catfights and bitching though. In the clip above, Kelly talks to her …

AMERICAN IDOL RECAP: Ain't Got No Satisfaction?

American Idol moved onto the big stage last night, and without the presence of Lilly Scott or Todrick Hall or Alex Lambert or Katelyn Epperly, I feared we may be worse for wear. After all, it’s safe to say that none of those four truly deserved an ouster last week (I’d have reserved that honor …

KELL ON EARTH PHOTOCAP: She's All Hat

B-Side Blog Tournament of Cham Returns!

It’s that time again! No, not the joint birthdays of Chuck Woolery, Flava Flav, Erik Estrada and Peaches Geldof (although, that is today). I’m talking about the NCAA tournament — when people all across the country fill out brackets and try to win their way to the top with their expert prognosticating skillz (or in …

SURVIVOR PHOTOCAP: Falling To Pieces

Things have really not been so hot for the Heroes team on Survivor. Not only are they less interesting as a whole than the Villains, but they’re also significantly lacking in the skills department. To date, they’ve only won one challenge all season, and no matter what they do, they can’t seem to get their …

Late Night Lobster Elevates Boring Friday Night

I love many things about Los Angeles, but I can’t say I’m a big fan of the early-bird schedule. Once 7:30 rolls around, you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who hasn’t eaten dinner yet (or at least already made plans to). Imagine my unhappiness then Friday night when dinner plans had fallen through, leaving …
