TV. Food. Pop Culture.
About six weeks ago, a group of gay guys took the interwebs by storm with their colorful music video of Miley Cyrus’s (painfully catchy) song “Party in the USA.” It was such a big deal that the dudes got written up in just about every publication and even received a shout out from Miley herself …

It’s ridiculous how fun The City is. In its second season, the producers have found the right mix and balance of characters, focusing instead on the cutthroat careerist side of Manhattan, not the dingy bohemian crap that Jay and his posse represented last year (more on that in a bit, regrettably). Olivia and Erin continue …

I’m happy to report that last night’s episode of The Hills was GOOD. It was everything we want from the show — silly scenarios, embarrassing moments, and some cutting humor. The latter was provided by Kristin’s dad, whose cameo consisted of him making fun of Brody and his vanity any chance that he could. I’m not …
I must admit that my Top Chef coverage has waned in recent weeks. I still watch and love it, but Bravo’s website has been putting up pretty lame media, which means I’ve got nothing really to use for my photocaps (they post production stills, not screen grabs). Plus, as much as I’m enjoying this season …

Apple tarte Tatin. About a week and a half ago, I finally got a cast-iron skillet (thanks Mom and Dad!), and ever since then, I’ve been eager to use it. I made a grilled cheese on it (the bread browned perfectly!), a batch of shrimp piri-piri (best batch yet!), and now last night, I tried …

Back in August, some of my posse convened at a friend’s house to have an Ina Garten / Barefoot Contessa potluck dinner party. The results were excellent, and if memory serves me correctly (and it does), I practically had to be wheeled out of the house as all the food was so incredibly delicious that …
Adam Lambert fans, listen up! The sequined American Idol runner-up has released his first song, dramatically called “A Time For Miracles” from the soundtrack to the upcoming disaster pic 2012. True to form, there’s a neat little run of squealing and histrionics, but don’t confuse me for a hater. Truth is I actually like the …
Despite a general lack of strategizing and scheming, last night’s Survivor got back on track with an icky but wonderful food challenge and some nifty high jinks from its irascible cast of characters. First, on Galu, we had a bunch of numskulls who couldn’t light a fire to cook the barbecue they had won after …
Oops! I forgot to post a Survivor photocap this week! Apologies for the delay. Hopefully this will get you all in the mood for tonight’s episode. Last week’s show wasn’t anything special. Galu finally lost immunity, thus sending them to Tribal Council for the first time. I was appreciative of this, if only to learn …
What were you doing nine days ago at this time? If you said getting hammered and searching for more booze, then you might be the guy in the video above. Yes, some wasted young chap managed to stagger and sway through the above security video, all in the hopes of procuring more booze. At first …
