Tim Gunn Says Hello to B-Side Blog, Sort Of

Last week during Fashion Week in NYC, my friend Meeshie managed to find herself in an exclusive little party with none other than Tim Gunn, the lovable and articulate sartorial guru from Project Runway. Well, the two of them apparently struck up a conversation, and eventually, it led to the nifty little video above. Here’s …

These Previews… Are… Bah…Nananas

Rachel vs. the concept of animation. There’s another new episode of The Rachel Zoe Project on tonight, and if these previews are any indication, it’s gonna be more ridiculous than ever. In the first video, Rachel grapples with the concept of having to offer fashion advice to animated characters. That’s right — for some reason, she’s …

Scott Weiland Forces Plane Into Emergency Landing; Bemused Emailing Ensues

Now THIS would have been a flight to blog. I just received this email from my friend Jeff who is attempting to fly from LAX to Miami: “my plane just made an emergency landing in Dallas because Scott Weiland od’d on prescription meds. Sort of amazing.” This was then followed by: “I also just convinced …

SURVIVOR PHOTOCAP: Holy Crap! That Was Just Episode ONE?

OMG, as they say. Survivor: Samoa kicked off last night, and I think I’m not being too hyperbolic in saying that it was one of the best, if not THE best, season openers of all time. Sadly, this is probably thanks to Russell H. (not to be confused with gentle, likable Russel S., who may …

SHILL TIME: Fun For The Ladies (And The Gays)

Time to shill for a friend (as if I don’t do that enough — btw, check out my friend Heather’s book, Eat Your Feelings: Recipes for Self-Loathing. On sale now and beloved by the New Yorker!). Anyway, my buddy Chris models, and apparently there’s a website out there which is attempting to crown “the hottest …

Seth Meyers and Amy Poehler Go To Town On Kanye West

Seth Meyers and Amy Poehler once again returned to their “REALLY!?!” bit last night on Saturday Night Live Update Thursday, and this time their target was Kanye West (as well as some digs at Joe Wilson and Serena Williams). The results, as usual, were pretty amusing (although nothing will ever top the original Michael Vick …

ADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: In Search of Blondie Redemption

Two nights ago, I attempted to make a simple batch of blondies and was met with pure disaster. Well, I shouldn’t say that. My baking follies gave way to the creation of an entirely new dessert / ice cream topping: Blondie Crumble. However, as lovely as that penicillin-esque discovery was, it still could not provide …

Catching Up With Allison Grodner, Executive Producer of 'Big Brother'

All summer long, The Wrap journalist Josef Adalian (or Joey ‘Dals, as I am wont to call him) has been interviewing Big Brother executive producer Allison Grodner after every eviction. She often provides interesting tidbits about the previous week and little teasers about what’s to come. Well, the season is over now; so Mr. Adalian …

Rachel Zoe Goes Grocery Shopping

I’ve always wondered what Rachel Zoe is like grocery shopping. Actually, scratch that. I saw her once puttering about the aisles of Trader Joe’s, and it was relatively uneventful; so… so much for that introductory sentence. Nevertheless, here’s comedian Amy Phillips doing an impersonation of Zoe meandering about a Vons. It’s pretty much dead on. …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: A Happy Ending After All

Here’s a shocker: this season of Big Brother, which looked like it was gonna wind up with a miserable outcome, suddenly beat the odds and gave us a fan favorite as the victor. That’s right, Jordan brought her A-game to last night’s finale, winning not just the final HOH, but the whole damn show. The …
