ADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: Slow Cooker Galbi Tacos

Not too long ago, I received a slow cooker from CSN Stores (who have a lovely variety of table lamps, I should note), and I was quite excited to put it to use. Sadly though, I totally messed up my debut dish after attempting to execute a dutch oven recipe in my new device. The …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: The Catty Fate of Clawed Monet

Last night’s eviction episode of Big Brother 12 seemed like it would lead to an obvious outcome. Matt was the pawn and Monet the target. It was pretty cut-and-dry as to how things would all shake out. After all, Matt had an entire secret alliance behind him whereas Monet had… a crabby bestie who cries …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Monet’s Bad Impression

Big Brother 12 has yet to provide us with any screaming matches or backyard fisticuffs, but that’s okay because what this season lacks in altercations, it more than makes up for with pure cattiness. And at the center of the cattiness are Monet and Britney, the two awful snots who seem to spend all their …

Checking Out ‘The Mad Men Look’

Smelling a hint of smoke in the air? Feeling a misogynistic spring in your step? Tasting the sweet flavor of marital woes in your coffee? Then it must be that time again. That’s right: Mad Men returns for a fourth season on Sunday, and rumor has it the show will focus more on the workplace …

Kelly Cutrone Oversleeps, Lacks Coffee. HEADS WILL ROLL.

There’s no Kell on Earth or The City on TV these days; so where can we get our weekly dose of Kelly Cutrone? The Internet, of course! Specifically The Huffington Post where Kelly posted this angry screed of a video which documents the alleged bungling of a wake-up call and a request for coffee by …

Checking In On Our Food Network Stars

We’re just over halfway through yet another fun season of The Next Food Network Star, and with the finish line coming closer and our opinions of the contestants growing stronger, I thought I’d check in and share my thoughts about the remaining finalists. The good news is that of nearly all the people left standing, …

Sushi Night In Los Angeles!

Last month, my friend Lindsey invited me to a Japanese-themed dinner party where she would be making sushi, miso soup, and various other delectable dishes, all in the spirit of fun times and soy sauce. I was immediately intrigued as Japanese cuisine has been something of a neglected area in my general attempts to learn …

Kim G Continues To Talk Smack About Danielle

Not too long ago, I posted a video of Kim Granatell (aka Kim G) from The Real Housewives of New Jersey talking smack about her neighbor and alleged friend Danielle Staub. Little did I realize there was more footage to be had. Enjoy this (too lengthy) clip, courtesy of Tom Murro at celebritymagnet.com.

Ep. 05: Banter with Ben and Lisa

Surprise, surprise! We’re back with another episode of Banter with Ben and Lisa in less than a week’s time.  The reason behind our speedy return:  what else?  The Real Housewives of New Jersey.  Rather than wait until the end of the week to discuss, analyze, critique, and generally tear apart the show, Lisa and I …

TOP CHEF PHOTOCAP: Farm Fresh

I’m having a really difficult time with this season of Top Chef. My problem is that I actually like almost all the chefs quite a bit, and I find myself irrationally sad when one gets the boot. Even worse, every episode that I assertively decide that I like a particularly person, he or she goes …
