TV. Food. Pop Culture.
Yesterday, I was leafing through the Hollywood Reporter when I came upon the above ad for some shlocky thriller that will be screening in Cannes this week (surely out of competition). The film’s name is Burning Bright, and while the title might suggest some sort of reference to Hanukkah or the Shoah Foundation (or at …

The TV season may be wrapping up, but there’s still plenty of fun stuff to watch. Take, for instance, the Real Housewives of New Jersey. Bravo has sent along some clips from tonight’s show, and while they’re not as earth shattering as some of our favorite NYC videos, they’re entertaining enough to warrant a look. …

If you’re looking to spend some cash today (and even if you’re not), then I have a suggestion for you: purchase the novel Bought by Anna David, author of 2007’s Party Girl. It’s her new novel that arrives in bookstores and online outlets (a.k.a. Amazon) today, and with Memorial Day weekend coming up, what better …
The Chenbot’s Chelmet clearly suffering from Chenmidity. You all should remember the date July 9, 2009. That’s the day when Big Brother returns to the airwaves! There are no other details as of yet, but you can be sure I’ll be sitting in front of the TV, watching preggers Chenbot ushering the new cast into …

With the weather being so warm and awesome-ish, I went up to my building’s pool yesterday and was quite surprised to see some missing letters on a nearby plaque. Needless to say, juvenile snickering ensued…
I don’t know how it was for the rest of the country, but the weather in LA this past weekend was fantastic, and what better way to enjoy the sunshine than by stepping out and taking a hike? Inspired by a recent post in LAist about hidden staircases in Hollywood, I recruited two fellow hoofers …

Last weekend I returned from a rousing night out with my friends quite drunk and quite hungry, and in such situations, it’s not uncommon for me to summon a sober party and request transport to the nearest late night eatery, particularly if it means venturing into Koreatown for some late night galbi, bulgogi, tofu, or …

I really didn’t think The Real Housewives of New York City could top Tuesday’s tumultuous hour of reunion fighting, but last night, they proved me wrong. Thursday was Kelly’s time to truly shine, and what we got was nothing but a stream of incoherent ramblings from the model/socializer/owl enthusiast. The woman literally made no sense, …

Photo courtesy of Rickey.org I should have more faith in America. After David Cook pulled the surprise â€â€Ã‚ and deserved â€â€Ã‚ upset over David Archuletta on last year’s American Idol finale, I should have realized that often America doesn’t blindly follow the misguided praise of the judges. If I had remembered that, I wouldn’t have been so …

Well, ladies and gentlemen, after many marvelous weeks in the big city, the Real Housewives franchise has headed back to the ‘burbs for its third spin-off, The Real Housewives of New Jersey, and I gotta tell you: it’s showing lots of promise. So far, I don’t really hate anyone yet, and while Danielle seems like …
