Exclusive video of Meeshie biking for MS. This is shameless, I know. But it’s shameless for a great cause. As I mentioned last week, my friend Meeshie is participating in the bike ride for MS Research in an effort to help find a cure for multiple sclerosis. I’m not the charitable type, but it’s an …

Earlier today, I posted five Oprah Winfrey Show ads that ran in an issue of TV Guide exactly twenty-three years ago this week. Those were fun and all, but of course TV Guide has more to offer than just Oprah. There’s a whole variety of amusing, dated, and amazingly dumb ads to be shared; and …

Yesterday, a friend of mine gave me an old 1986 issue of TV Guide as a joke, and being the cultural anthropologist that I am, I immediately leafed through it to check out the television landscape of yore. Little did I realize that I’d be stumbling on a small treasure trove of classic Oprah print …
It pains me to admit that “Tardy for the Party” is in my head more often than it isn’t, but I give all the credit to Kandi Burress for crafting a dumb country ditty into a regrettably catchy dance tune. None of the props, however, go to Kim Zolciak, who on tonight’s Real Housewives of …

Try this one on for size. Sesame Street did a parody of Mad Men recently, and the results were… intriguing. I’ll be honest — without the smoking and boozing, it just ain’t the same. And whither the puppet JOAN? She’s really getting the shaft in every possible way these days, huh? Nevertheless, enjoy the clip above.
After a summer of suspense, The Hills returned for its fifth season last night (although, I can swear there’ve been about thirty), and the big news was that Kristin Cavallari had stepped in to take the place of Lauren Conrad’s starring role. This wasn’t the first time Kristin has ascended to the spotlight. Back in …
It was a big premiere night for MTV last night as both The City and The Hills kicked off their respective seasons in a one hour block of furtive glares and pretty, petty drama. I suppose it’s The Hills that’s garnered all the hype with the arrival of Kristin Cavallari, but honestly, after watching both, …

Sorry to be tardy for the party on this post, but I only got around to watching last week’s Real Housewives of Atlanta last night, and after a two week absence, I’m back with a photocap. So much has gone on since I last did one of these. Kim recorded “Tardy for the Party,” Kim …
If the latest episode of The Rachel Zoe Project felt a bit like Arrested Development, that’s because like Lucille II, Rachel came down with (spoiler!) VERTIGO! Yes, the source of her DEADLY NAUSEA was none other than stress-induced vertigo, a.k.a. The Spins. On the one hand, I felt bad for our ailing stylist. On the …
