Watch CBS Videos Online It’s hard to imagine that Survivor can top the amazing one-two punch that was China and Fans vs. Favorites, but nevertheless, the veteran reality show is back, and this time, Jeff Probst & Co. are headed to the African nation of Gabon for another spirited round of fighting, bickering, backstabbing, crying, …

Peggs to Don: What's Up, DON?
Sunday’s episode of Mad Men was the strongest of the season so far (in my humble opinion, as they say), and it was all thanks to a restoration of a proper Peggs-Bets ratio. Specifically, when there is more Peggy and less Betsy, the show excels, and since Sunday’s episode focused rather intensively on Peggs  …
HILLS RECAP: And That's Why You Don't Invite Israel and Iran to the Same Party
The Hills is back in more ways than one. Last night’s episode was a pure joy  from the awkward interactions between Audrina and Lo to the awkward interactions between Kelly Cutrone and her short-lived peon Jessica. And, of course, let’s not overlook the awkward interactions between Spencer and… EVERYONE. Yes, it was one episode …

LIVE FLIGHT BLOG: Seriously, This Is Live
I’ve done a lot of flight blogs  or flogs  in my time, but never in all my time have I been able to actually LIVE blog my flights. Granted, I call it liveblogging as I’m typing what I observe as it happens, but the truth is that I don’t usually publish my flogs …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Hang In There!
Here’s the photocap from last night. I had to abbreviate it though because I’m at an airport and about to board! Enjoy what I have so far!!
Obama's New Running Mate?
If there’s any one thing that could cost Barack Obama this election (aside from his uncanny ability to wear Urkel pants while playing basketball), it would be taking this photo with universally reviled reality star, Johnny Fairplay. Granted, John McCain isn’t totally free of unsavory supporters himself as he’s welcomed the endorsement of professional cotton-ball …
The Not-So-Greatest American Dog
I don’t know why this video amuses me so much, but in the wake of Wednesday’s super intense con-TRAH-versy about canine punishment on the waaaaaay under-appreciated Greatest American Dog, it seems only appropriate that we observe this woman’s reprimanding of a very, very guilty dog named LeeLoo. Beware: the ensuing cocktail of cuteness and shame …
BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: One Wicked Veto!
Things ain’t looking too good for April and Ollie. Tuesday’s veto episode didn’t go quite their way (despite April’s awkward attempts to buy Dan off with gold bars), and now it looks like our horny platinum blonde OCD sufferer might be headed out the door. I suppose we’ll find out soon enough. In the meantime, …
Honk If You Love Leafy Greens!
In honor of last night’s Project Runway, which introduced America to the sassy yet demanding ways of drag queen Hedda Lettuce, I’ve decided to post this similarly bizarre ode to leafy greens: a license plate that says “I &hearts CHARD.” Now, I’m sure we all love Swiss chard as much as the next person, but …
Sanjaya Hawks Insurance; Still Sucks
When I read that Sanjaya would be poking fun of himself in a new Nationwide commercial, I felt optimistic that the affable yet untalented kid might finally enter some sort of post-annoying phase where we could enjoy him as a kind of neo-kitsch character, not unlike William Shatner or James Lipton. However, after checking out …
