TV. Food. Pop Culture.
For the past week, I’d been trying to corral a friend or two to join me in making another Cocktail of the Week (a feature on this site which I must rename because quite frankly “Cocktail of the Week” is entirely too unoriginal. I’m open to suggestions). Anyway, it turns out my friends all had …

Unfortunate news from the world of BMX and MTV. Perennial Real World / Road Rules Challenge host TJ Lavin is in critical condition following a BMX accident this week. Doctors put the athlete in a medically induced coma after he lost control of his bike during an event in Las Vegas. For more information, click …
30 Rock went live last night on NBC, and the reviews have not been the kindest ever. Personally, I enjoyed the energy of it all, but about midway through, it started to lag a touch.

For those who enjoy synth-pop-80s-throwbacks in the style of Justice or Daft Punk, I implore you all to explore Grum. The British DJ not only has a way with catchy hooks but also puts out some highly entertaining videos (like this one I posted back in July). As an added bonus, if you like what …

A mere two days ago, I pondered how long we’d have to wait for the next cell phone scandal. Turns out not long at all! The latest celeb to be caught with his junk out on display is none other than Kanye West, who reportedly sent provocative photos of himself to a number of women …
I made no secret about my preference of Crystal Bowersox over Lee DeWyze during last season’s forgettable American Idol finale. However, I must admit that even though I wasn’t pulling for him to win, I do like Lee’s new single, titled “Sweet Serendipity.” Bouncy and fun, the song is the sort of generic rock that …
