After months of anticipation, the new-look American Idol premiered last night, and the results were… eh? Gone were Simon Cowell, Ellen Degeneres, and Kara DioGuardi. In their stead were Aerosmith’s legendary frontman Steven Tyler and Marc Anthony’s legendary rear woman Jennifer Lopez. The big question was how would these two new celebrity judges fare in …

VIDEO: How I Met The Real Housewives of New York and Other Banter
Last week I teased y’all with a story about having met four of the Real Housewives of New York City, and yesterday I explained the full story in all its goofy glory. In case you missed it, I gabbed about it and other Housewives-related issues on my videocast, titled “Off Script” (name soon to change …

JERSEY SHORE PHOTOCAP: In Search of a Mind Condom (Ribbed, For Our Pleasure)
I am so FRIGGIN behind on my Jersey Shore photocaps that I decided to just scrap the first two and start with coverage of last night’s third episode (or rather, the sixteenth episode of season two, which we’re still in). In case you haven’t been following, the gang has relocated back to Seaside Heights, and …

The Funniest Rob Lowe Video EVAR
Rob Lowe Goes Nuts from Rob Lowe In advance of the season premiere of Parks & Recreation on Thursday night, the cast of the NBC sitcom made this video for Funny or Die. It features lots and lots of cursing; so workplace viewers may want to use their headphones. That being said, it’s pretty hilarious.

I don’t really know who Paz De La Huerta is, but apparently she’s on Boardwalk Empire, and last night, she was “over served” at the Golden Globes. How drunk was she? Well, in the video above, she falls on her ass, stumbles around, and often dangles from her escort like a sad, broken sail. In …

REAL HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: The Squeals On The Bus Go Round and Round
Whoever contrived the idea of sticking Kim Zolciak and Kandi Burruss on a tour bus together is a genius. This goofy, silly, and highly improbably story line, which has now extended over two episodes, has been nothing but a hilarious trainwreck (which is ironic since they’re on a bus, I suppose). It all comes down …

Jets’ Bart Scott CAN’T WAIT To Play The Steelers
The playoff games this weekend were a bit hit and miss, with the NFC providing little by way of thrills. The AFC, however, brought the big guns, and it all culminated in an exciting, intense showdown between the New England Patriots and the New York Jets. It only takes one look at the dejected state …

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS PHOTOCAP: Smile Like You Mean It
Sadness, people. We only have one episode left of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the freshest, most entertaining new installment to the franchise since New York City. Not every episode has huge drama (exhibit A: last night), but there’s plenty of pathos and subtle passive aggression to keep us happy for months. This penultimate …
