The closer we get to the premiere of Kell On Earth, the more excited I get. The show promises to follow Kelly Cutrone — sort of an older, paler, thinner version of Snooki from Jersey Shore. But whereas Snooki is all waffling insecurity, Kelly is a self-possessed, self-proclaimed power bitch. Watching her take down the …

'30 Rock' Proves That Some Good Can Come From Boston
People who love Boston and people who hate it can both find something to rejoice about from last night’s Beantown-centric episode of 30 Rock. Why? Well, the clip above should be a good indication.
B-Side Blog Goes To Pee-Wee's Playhouse, Brain Melting Ensues (That's A Good Thing)
Thursday nights usually mean one thing for me: 30 Rock, Community, Real Housewives, and Jersey Shore — give or take a few shows. I suppose that’s four things, but it all falls under the glorious umbrella of TELEVISION. It certainly takes a lot for me to waiver from this joyous activity, but occasionally something does …
REAL HOUSEWIVES PREVIEW: Tupperware Turf War!
The Real Housewives of Orange County is back tonight, and hopefully this episode will make up for last week’s somewhat dull offering. It certainly seems promising, what with Alexis bearing her claws (fun fact: her claws have fake boobs too) at some random lady for allegedly getting too close to husband Jim (who we all …

JERSEY SHORE PHOTOCAP: Go Directly To Jail. Do Not Pass Go. Do Not Battle To House Music.
Sorry I’m a little behind with my photocapping duties. Last week’s double episode of Jersey Shore was a lot for me to take in. Granted, it was sort of the usual stuff: fist fights, booty calls, wide-scale butchering of the English language. This time, however, we got the added bonus of an Israeli stalker, and …
Govind Armstrong To Appear on 'Top Chef: Masters'
“I’m a Master, y’all!” The cast hasn’t been announced yet, but according to my friend, the very reliable Katherine Spiers, local Los Angeles chef Govind Armstrong (Table 8, 8 Oz. Burger Bar) will be one of the contestants competing on the upcoming season of Top Chef: Masters. We don’t know how well he’ll fare, but …

ADDICTED TO PLASTIC SURGERY: My Painful Confession
This week, oft surgically enhanced reality star Heidi Montag revealed that she’s completely addicted to plastic surgery, going so far as to get ten different procedures in one day late last year. The pictures are shocking to many, as the new, soulless creature staring back at us seems hardly like the Heidi we know and …

Jimmy Kimmel Bashes Leno To His Face. It's Awkward.
You gotta admire the balls on Jimmy Kimmel to show up on Jay Leno’s talk show and then proceed to bash the host with a series of withering, passive (and not so passive) aggressive insults, veiled thinly as jokes. Watching this clip is a tremendously awkward affair, especially given the simmering disdain Jay Leno can …

The Devil Went Down To Georgia… and So Did 'American Idol.'
American Idol headed down to the ATL last night, home of Ryan Seacrest, Coca-Cola, and America’s burgeoning Independence Party industry. While this trip down to Hotlanta lacked any weave-pulling brawls or bombastic helicopter entrances, I’m happy to report that it was just as entertaining as any given episode of last season’s Real Housewives of Atlanta. …

HOUSEWIVES PREVIEW: Psychics and Sleepovers
Those blonde bitches are back tonight on Bravo. I’m talking of course about The Real Housewives of Orange County, who continue to amaze with their special brand of cattiness. Things look relatively demure on tonight’s episode — at least based on the preview clips offered up here. In the video above, Vicki arranges a slumber …
