THE QUAFF: Roasted Red Pepper Juleps
How dreadful that it’s been practically three weeks since I last updated anything in The Quaff category. Well, I’ve been behind on all my posting in general, but I’m determined to catch up, beginning with a new addition to this category. I’m happy to report I have a fun item that I whipped up with …
SURVIVOR PHOTOCAP: Grab Your Balls — It’s a Crazy Episode!
This is the spring of Mark Burnett. The famed reality producer has two winners airing simultaneously: Celebrity Apprentice and Survivor: Redemption Island. Both shows are experiencing great seasons, but I’m here only to talk about the latter; so let’s get into it. This week’s episode was great. Crazy, bizarre, and full of twists and turns. …

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NYC PHOTOCAP: No Bethenny? No Problem! New York Ladies Return Just As Great
When Bethenny Frankel left The Real Housewives of New York City, it was certainly a loss to the show, but people acted like it could never recover. Well, they’re wrong.

Shocking ‘American Idol’ Results Finally Push Show Over Cliff and Into a Void of Pointlessness
It happens every season. Well, maybe not LAST season when NOTHING happened.

Now this tenth season has been marred by a …
Rebecca Black Explains ‘Friday’
Rebecca Black finally breaks down the true meaning behind “Friday,” revealing that the song is actually more a metaphor for the current state of America than anything else.

American Idol Celebrates Rock ‘n’ Roll Without Actually Rocking
American Idol embraced singers from The Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame this week, but if you were looking forward to some loud, energetic, and rockin’ tunes, don’t get too excited.

Inside the Painted Nail Spring Launch Party
A few nights ago, my friend Katie had a party to celebrate the launch of her new Painted Nail products, and so my crew (IndianJones and Phamtastic) and I all trekked on over to see what the hullaballoo was about. Here’s the thing: when Katie throws a party, you go. Last time I dropped by …

QUICK HIT: Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen Are Building A Massive Mansion
Tom and Gisele are building a new house, and it is huge. Perhaps too huge? That’s okay though. The QB deserves some luxurious indulgences after having suffered two enormous chokes at the hands of New York teams. And while he’ll never be as great as he once was, at least Tom has this sweet pad …
