I think it’s safe to say that I am not a particularly strong or flexible person, which is why yoga may not be a perfect fit for me (check out my first time here). Nevertheless, that didn’t stop my friend Meeshie from trying to teach me a move called “Crow.” She videotaped my pitiful attempt, …

Random Photo Of The Day: Caroline Manzo and Gabourey Sidibe
Happy Friday everyone. While I put together a Housewives post, please enjoy this random photo of Caroline Manzo and Gabourey Sidibe. I don’t know what exactly the two are talking about, but I rather enjoy Gabby’s pensive, pinky-out expression (particularly since I suspect Caroline is most likely pontificating about shaving her face again).
BIG BROTHER FINALE PHOTOCAP: And Now It’s Over
At long last, the twelfth season of Big Brother came to a close last night, ending one of the most lackluster installments in the franchise’s history. The good news was that despite this group’s generally blasé approach toward the game, the finale proved to be very entertaining and even had a few nail biting moments. …

Big Brother’s Kristen Lands High Profile Gig For Toyota of Runnemede
Who said that reality TV didn’t lead to anything? Just take a look at Kristen from Big Brother 12. After swallowing a spider (and perhaps Hayden’s man juice), the starlet has taken the next step toward world domination by landing the coveted role as spokeswoman for Toyota of Runnemede. It’s a primo gig, and let’s …

RACHEL ZOE PHOTOCAP: Oh my God. It’s a Sedersaster
We’ve seen a lot of wacky stuff on The Rachel Zoe Project, but the image of Rachel assembling a Passover Seder while wearing a turban and a giant black cloak may truly be the wackiest sight yet. Yes, it was another strange and daffy episode in the world of Zoe, and this one was marked …

1987 Jason Bateman Wants You To Turn Down Your Boom Box
A wise man once said that some people are born from a boom box. Clearly, that’s not the case with Jason Bateman, who in this 1987 PSA advises against playing the loud radios in public. It’s a funny little bit of vintage Bateman, but quite frankly, it’s the peace brokered by the feuding boom box …

JERSEY SHORE PHOTOCAP: Fight Night In Miami (a.k.a. The Episode I Made My Mom Watch)
The latest episode of Jersey Shore was surprisingly sweet and poignant — as much as the show can be — with Vinny falling in love with an unattainable club dancer named Ramona, but alas, MTV hasn’t posted photos of that episode; so I’ll dig back a show earlier to last Thursday which saw perhaps the …
Tim Gunn Hates Taylor Momsen
The Gossip Girl premiere aired earlier this week, and by all accounts, it was very well received. Missing from the action, however, was Jenny Humphrey, who was last seen being sent off to a mysterious school named “Hudson” at the end of last season. I suspect that we’ll be seeing Jenny again, but then again, …
Big Brother’s Britney Loses House To Fire
Poor Britney can’t get a break. The Big Brother star who was evicted just shy of the finale will finally return to civilization tonight only to find out that her house burned down this morning. Luckily, no one was hurt, and while the blaze is still under investigation, it is not believed to be suspicious. …

Gail Simmons Talks To B-Side Blog: “There are very few things in the edible world that I will not eat.”
Last week, I took part in a conference call with Gail Simmons, judge of Top Chef and host of Bravo’s new series, Top Chef: Just Desserts. As you can imagine, this was a total joy because despite what some people may think, I truly adore Ms. Simmons and everything she says. In fact, the call …
