This may be a shocker, but The Real Housewives of Orange County is wrapping up next week. I can’t believe twelve episodes have already gone by — especially since this season felt anything but fast. Yes, the sixth cycle of the O.C. ladies has been one of the worst yet, and I’m not totally sure …

We’re baaaaack. After a nearly two month hiatus, Lisa Timmons joined me on Friday for yet another episode of Banter with Ben and Lisa. On this podcast, we talk about Prince, Community, a fight on the subway, and some behind-the-scenes gossip from the long deceased sitcom, Three Sisters (on which I was a PA). I …

With The Real Housewives of New Jersey bursting back with a vengeance on Monday, it was only a matter of time before fired cast member Danielle Staub attempted to steal away the spotlight. Well, she has, and it’s been just as sad as you’d expect. Earlier this week, the reality star announced that she’d be …
