It’s that time again! No, not the joint birthdays of Chuck Woolery, Flava Flav, Erik Estrada and Peaches Geldof (although, that is today). I’m talking about the NCAA tournament — when people all across the country fill out brackets and try to win their way to the top with their expert prognosticating skillz (or in …

The Donald Reignites The Feud
Last night’s Celebrity Apprentice premiere came down to one brief, hilarious moment. Don’t get me wrong — it all was fun and entertaining, but nothing made me chuckle louder than the clip above.
SURVIVOR PHOTOCAP: Falling To Pieces
Things have really not been so hot for the Heroes team on Survivor. Not only are they less interesting as a whole than the Villains, but they’re also significantly lacking in the skills department. To date, they’ve only won one challenge all season, and no matter what they do, they can’t seem to get their …
Late Night Lobster Elevates Boring Friday Night
I love many things about Los Angeles, but I can’t say I’m a big fan of the early-bird schedule. Once 7:30 rolls around, you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who hasn’t eaten dinner yet (or at least already made plans to). Imagine my unhappiness then Friday night when dinner plans had fallen through, leaving …

REAL HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: Battle of the Barbecues
Based on the way season two of Real Housewives of New York City ended, you’d never believe that Jill, LuAnn, and Kelly would be in a clique pitted against the other women, but that’s exactly how this young cycle has been turning out. Tension is still thick between the feuding parties of Ramona and LuAnn …

REAL HOUSEWIVES PREVIEW: Countless Accusations
There’s another new episode of Real Housewives of New York City on tonight, and if the preview clips are any indication, we’ll be in store for more insanity, courtesy of Ramona and LuAnn. As you may remember from last week, the two had a blow-out on a boat after LuAnn expressed displeasure at Ramona’s husband …

AMERICAN IDOL RECAP: Semifinals From Hell Are Almost Done
I thought I’d switch things up a little this week and write about the boyz and the girlz of American Idol all in one post. Why? Well, because I forgot to write about the girls yesterday. Nevertheless, after enduring a third improved but not necessarily exciting week of semifinals, we are poised to learn who …

KELL ON EARTH PHOTOCAP: Back to New York
After an egregious, abhorrent one week absence, Kell On Earth returned to the airwaves Monday night, and while FUCKING FASHION WEEK is now over, the stress remains high and intense at the offices of People’s Revolution. This latest episode focused on the trials and tribulations of Stephanie Skinner, who seemed to be crumbling under the …
DEAD CELEBRITIES: Corey Haim Edition
Just days after several ’80s teen icons were resurrected at the Oscars, one of that era’s most famous teen idols has died. Corey Haim passed away at 38 today after struggling for years with addiction and drug abuse. Sad news indeed. Is it bad that my first instinct is to wonder if he’ll make it …
SHILL TOWN: Steph Jones Has A New Video!
Last night, R&B singer Steph Jones hit me up about the new video for his song “La La Means Love.” (Yes, that’s right. I’m so cool that real life R&B singers contact me. Okay, I’m not that cool. But Steph is cool, and I’m going to bask in his reflected glory). Anyway, Steph asked if …
