Ever wonder what would happen if Ryan Seacrest read the wrong results on the American Idol finale? Or if the wrong picture flashed on the screen during the coronation of America’s Next Top Model? Well, the latter situation pretty much happened on the live finale of Australia’s Next Top Model. Let’s just say it was… …

QUICK HIT: Fun Finds At Chinese Walmarts!
Here’s something fun. Someone compiled a list of sixteen items that are only sold at Chinese Walmarts. Some of the choices (turtles, frogs) may leave you grossed out, but on the flip side, now you’ll have a wonderful conversation starter at the next cocktail party you attend. Thanks NEIL for the link. Buzzfeed: 16 Items …

Testing Out The ‘Modern Family’ Chocolate Milk Trick
Everyone I’ve spoken to has agreed that last week’s Modern Family season premiere was something of a disappointment. In fact, just about the only thing noteworthy from the episode was an amusing sequence involving Manny’s friend recommending adding a pinch of salt to his glass of chocolate milk. This eventually led to a scene with …

HAPPINESS: 30 Rock Embraces ‘Barefoot Contessa’
Last night’s season premiere of 30 Rock made me happy for many different reasons, but none more so than the extended discussion of The Barefoot Contessa. Above, the second of two scenes featuring Ina jokes. Worlds colliding in the best possible way…
Betty White Joins Troy and Abed on ‘Community’
Some might argue that Betty White is over-exposed, and truth is… they’re right. But I still love the lady, and while last night’s season premiere of Community wasn’t perhaps as amazing as I had hyped it up to be in my head, I did particularly enjoy Betty’s bit with Troy and Abed over the closing …

SURVIVOR PHOTOCAP: If The Sock Fits, Wear It
It’s utterly amazing how Survivor can still be so awesome in its 21st season. It all comes down to casting, and this is where Big Brother this past summer could have taken a note or two. What’s making this iteration of the franchise so wonderful is that a) there’s a diversity of personality types, most …
