BAM! It’s a Nene house tour! Check it out! Bravo JUST released this clip moments ago. The Real Housewives of Atlanta are back for season two, and joining them is new cast member Kandi, formerly of the ’90s not-so-supergroup Xscape. To be honest, I haven’t even watched this video. I’m just gonna post it, and …

'HOUSEWIVES' REUNION PREVIEW: All Things Gay, Dramatic, and Mob Related
I am incredibly excited for tonight’s first hour of the two-part Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion; although, I fear that after last week’s monster episodes, it’s gonna be something of a letdown. I mean, how can you top Teresa’s legendary table flip? You can’t. You absolutely can’t. Still, it should be a fun hour …

Deconstructing the Perez Hilton, will.i.am Feud
Oh what a glorious morning. I woke up not knowing what I’d be writing about (sorry, my trip to the Big Brother house on Friday must stay under wraps for another week), but then I checked my email. My friend jash had alerted me that will.i.am from The Black Eyed Peas and Perez Hilton from, …

Journey To The Corpse Flower
Earlier this week, B-Side Blog reader Sisofjash sent me an email urging me to go to the nearby Huntington Botanical Gardens in Pasadena to check out the very rare and supposedly very malodorous blooming of a “corpse flower.” This exciting event only happens once every few years, and apparently, it’s been witnessed by humans less …
TOP CHEF MASTERS PHOTOCAP: 'Lost' In Food
I was very excited about last night’s Top Chef Masters because I’d actually dined at two of the chefs’ restaurants. Three, if you count Betty. Just over a year ago, I dined at Graham Elliot (the Chicago restaurant of chef Graham Elliot Bowles) and enjoyed the experience very much. I even took several photos, which …

Teresa 1, Table 0
In case you missed it last night, here’s the explosive (read: HILARIOUS) video of Teresa flipping a table at Danielle, née Montana Moorehead, née Milton Moorehead, during the Real Housewives of New Jersey finale. Watching her rev herself up into a frenzy is something to behold. Even people who don’t watch the show should be …
AND NOW A WORD FROM THE CRAZIES: Letterman Protesters Edition
This video is absolutely amazing. It features a handful of protesters who are still pissed about the Letterman/Palin flap — a flap that came to a close two days ago. Some people just can’t move on. I guess that’ll happen when you’ve been VERBALLY RAPED. Via Daily Intel (Thanks jash)
HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: The Most Amazing Fight Ever
Hype = fulfilled. OH. MY. GOODNESS. After weeks of anticipation, we finally got to see the epic brawl on The Real Housewives of New Jersey tonight, and it did not disappoint in the least. It was — as the kids say — O.O.C. (That stands for “Out of Control”). I’m telling you, there has never been a …

THE BASIL CHRONICLES: Chapter 2 — It's Still Alive! (And Controversial!)
Well, it’s been nearly two weeks since I’ve purchased my basil plant, and I’m happy to announce that not only is it alive, but it’s been put to good use. This is shocking because let’s face it, I have a terrible track record with plants (see The Parsley Chronicles). Making matters worse is that my …
