Video: ‘Wipeout’ Exclusive: MSN TV Wipes Out Two things I love: Jen Johnson from Big Brother 8 and slapstick. Put them together, and you’ve got a nifty little clip, courtesy of MSN TV. In the video above, Jen runs the Wipeout obstacle course, and as you can imagine, muddy splashes ensue. I’m not a big …

I have some troubling news for the Midwest: the Grammys have eliminated the all important Best Polka Album category. Yes, yes, it’s true. Take a moment to let it sink in. According to the Associated Press, it’s time to put away the accordions because polka is no longer relevant in today’s musical landscape. That’s okay, …

Don’t you be starting up with me, Dumb Bitch. This season of The Hills has come to a close, which means that we’ll not only have no photocaps of the show until fall, but chances are I won’t have any well written missives from my favorite Hills enthusiast, Dumb Bitch. That’s too bad because they’ve …

With E3 wrapping up later this afternoon, I thought we could take a look back at the glory days of the Wii, when the sheer novelty spawned countless YouTube videos of people punching at air and breaking their TVs. Here’s one that’s been unearthed by m_ruv. It’s of yours truly flailing about in the most …
It’s official. I’m now loving The Real Housewives of New Jersey. It’s nowhere near as amazing and perfect as New York, but I think it can hold its own with the rest of the franchise. Last night’s episode was compelling (in a trashy, shouldn’t-be-admitting-it kind of way) but also very funny. Caroline remains my favorite …

The Los Angeles Convention Center in all its teal glory. Yesterday afternoon, I headed down to the Los Angeles Convention Center for the video game industry’s biggest trade event, the E3 electronics expo — where nerds and businessmen come together in unholy alliance to help each other. Many people may not realize that I love video …
Apologies for the lack of content recently. Between my tech issues yesterday and my E3 attendance today, I’ve been a bit absent. But fear not. By tomorrow, I will have posted a photocap of tonight’s Housewives, a recap/photocap of The Hills, and a full rundown of my experiences at E3 (don’t get too excited — …
Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy The Real Housewives of New Jersey popped up on the fourth hour of The Today Show this morning, and as you can imagine, it was totally awkward and strange, thanks in no small part to hosts Kathy Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb, who …
