In case you’ve been living under a rock (or Orlando), hand-crafted cocktails are all the rage these days. It’s all about mixology, and Los Angeles (as well as San Francisco) seems to be at the forefront of the whole movement. Whether it be a speakeasy (Roger Room), a hideaway (La Descarga), a restaurant (Hungry Cat), …

Watching last night’s episode of American Idol, I was shocked by how many average to subpar performances the judges (Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez, and Randy Jackson) adored. Even more notable was how rote all their criticisms seemed to be. I really enjoy the judges’ personalities, but week in and week out, the three have lavished …

Video streaming by Ustream In case you missed it, today I hosted yet another episode of Housewife Hoedown, the only web talk show devoted to all things Real Housewives.

Vicki and Tamra have mildly interesting problems — one’s relationship is crumbling while the …

Las Vegas has been expanding significantly over the past few decades, and what better way to appreciate the sprawl than with a time lapse video? This one is pretty scant in the photo department (there are only six photos used), but it’s cool nonetheless. All it needs is the customary Philip Glass soundtrack. To read …

An argument can be made that all pop music sounds the same. I don’t personally believe that, but when hearing the two current singles “Blow” by Ke$ha and “Till the World Ends” by Britney Spears, it’s hard to argue against it. After all, both tunes feature a chorus laden with exultant, syncopated “Whoa” sounds that …

The NewNowNext Awards air tonight on Logo, and this year, I was fortunate enough to nab a ticket (+1) for the event, which taped last week. I really had no idea what was in store for me, but the evening proved to be quite fun, especially when my friend Richard and I got placed essentially …
