ME WANT FOOD. This past Sunday, the Lametourage (a.k.a. me, J-Unit, Jash, IndianJones, and our out-of-town friend Dan) all hit up local Chinese restaurant Genghis Cohen, and while yes, Jash and I had a very disagreeable incident there on Christmas of last year, the truth is that GengCo is too damn good to be ignored. …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Off The Walls
Sunday’s episode of Big Brother was entertaining, but truth be told, it was nothing compared to Friday’s Big Brother After Dark. Without giving too much away, the entire house pretty much devolved into an insane fight, replete with yelling, screaming, and a random birthday party in the middle. Hopefully it will all be detailed on …
INSIDE MAD MEN: Joan FTW!
How convenient that AMC provides these neat little videos about the creative thoughts behind each Mad Men episode. Here’s a three minute exploration of last night’s episode, and as a bonus, the video replays Joan’s withering comment to Paul’s new girlfriend. OUCH.
BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Better Late Than Never
“Are you threatened by my deviant wave goodbye?” As usual, CBS.com dragged their feet when it came to putting up screen caps from last week’s live eviction episode. I was just going to skip the whole thing and move onto Sunday’s show, but then I saw some of the photos, and as usual, I couldn’t …

David Archuleta Has A Crush… ON MUSIC
David Archuleta has a new single out called “Crush,” and yesterday, he dropped by New York’s Z100 morning show to premiere it. First thoughts: not as bland as I thought it would be. In fact, it’s solidly nice. Is it great? No. It’s still kind of generic, and if anything, it sounds like some sort …
Time To Meet Peggy's Family!
Peggs. Before everyone goes off for a weekend of unbridled hedonism, remember that on Sunday, we have a new episode of Mad Men. To whet your appetite, here’s a sampling of what to expect, according to a press release: “Paul hosts a party at his apartment and introduces someone special to his Sterling Cooper colleagues. …
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING???
Watch CBS Videos Online Seriously, what the HELL were the Big Brother 10 houseguests thinking? I’m totally confused, angry, and… well… CONFUSED. This episode completely had me scratching my head. Don’t get me wrong  it was a phenomenal episode. From the amazing Jerry fight (above) to Julie’s pointed questions, it was all fantastic. And …
Only In Weho…
How can you tell you’re in West Hollywood? Well, for starters, the yard sales are all FABULOUS and the license plates are, well, gay. Literally. Above, a sign my friends and I encountered on the street. After the jump, a license plate you really can’t argue with…
GUIDOS AND NEW JERSEY: Perfect Together
Sure this video may be eight months old, but hey, I just found it courtesy of Best Week Ever, and man, am I glad that I did. Now I feel about ten times better about my life. All together now: nn-ts, nn-ts, nn-ts… (that’s me pretending to be the awful music coming out of the …
BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Womanize THIS!
Apologies for having a late Big Brother photocap. CBS.com has been a bit screwy with the screen caps, and while in the past they’ve always had the pics up about an hour after the latest episode airs here in the west, this season, they’ve been a bit unreliable. Plus, after all that waiting, they didn’t …
