Raise your hand if you’re loving this season of Survivor? You probably can’t tell, but my hand is up. Way up. Unless you are excessively bitter and have no taste, Survivor: Samoa is amazing so far, replete with villains, patsies, and a few underdogs (SHAMBO) who probably won’t get their act together, but hey, such …

Gossip broke today when Washington wag Carol Joynt reported that the new cast of the Real Housewives of D.C. had been finalized. Of course, nothing is official, and for all we know, this Carol Joynt — or CJ as I’m wont to call her — may be completely off her rocker. But according to NBC Washington, CJ …
The battery pack on a microphone exploded into flames on the set of Top Chef — a freak accident which was thankfully captured on camera by the dutiful crew of the culinary reality show. It’s sort of cool to watch; although, the fact that Bravo treats it like lost footage from The Hurt Locker kind of …

IT’S A BRADSASTER! Rachel Zoe has come down with… a cold! Or maybe a stomach virus. Or perhaps food poisoning. Whatever it is, she feels terrible and wants to throw up. Yes, this was the state of affairs at the end of last night’s The Rachel Zoe Project, and as the dramatic stylist was returned …
