Very exciting news. I’m gonna be on The Hills retrospective. (C’mon, you didn’t think I’d be cool enough to actually get on The Hills proper, did you?) Yes, earlier today, I was interviewed by producers for an upcoming launch special for the fourth season of The Hills. Hopefully, they’ll use my footage, but I suppose …

New EepyBird Experiment RevealedUploaded by stickysamurai The people who made that viral video with the Diet Coke and Mentos are back with a brand new something-or-another involving Post-Its. Their team sent me this link to a preview of sorts, and while the shenanigans are sorrrrt of cool (hard to top the Diet Coke and Mentos), …

It comes with a heavy heart that I must announce the passing of a great/horrible/beloved casual dining chain, Bennigans. Yes, that oh-so-lovable, Irish-y, neighborhood “Tavern & Grill” has closed its doors in the wake of its parent company filing for bankruptcy. This is absolutely devastating news to me mainly for one reason and one reason …

MARY! ST. JOSEPH! I couldn’t help but to put together this montage of some of Renny and Jerry’s more explosive and bizarre sounds. Sure the Big Brother season is young, and sure there’ll probably be plenty of good noises to come, but I just simply couldn’t wait any longer. I’m just so locked in my …

In all the excitement between Mad Men and Big Brother, I totally forgot about The Next Food Network Star, which anointed its winner on Sunday evening. Needless to say, I wasn’t thrilled with the selection. If for some reason you haven’t heard the results yet, stop reading now.
From left to right: Don Draper, offended woman, SCOTT, jerk with hat. In case you’ve been living under a rock, the Mad Men season two premiere was last night, and I personally enjoyed it quite a bit. However, I’ve heard from two separate people that they felt it was a little slow. Maybe I’m in …

Looking to get yourself disinvited from The Today Show? Well, that appears to be the fate in store for “Sam the Cooking Guy,” who suddenly erupted in rage in the middle of his cooking segment. Awkward pauses ensued, followed by snippy Kathy Lee Gifford faces, and, of course, laughter across the country. Smell ya later, …

This weekend, my friend had a barbecue and asked me to bring over some of that “Korean shit” that I’ve been known to make now and then. Yes, dear readers, it turns out that occasionally, I’ve been known to actually whip up a Korean barbecue marinade perfect for Galbi (or beef short ribs). I learned …

The Dark Knight may very well be the best movie of the summer, but right now, my favorite might have to be American Teen, the latest documentary from filmmaker Nanette Burstein. The film follows a handful of seniors from Warsaw, Indiana as they navigate the perils and joys of high school  all while following …
Well, it’s time for another Big Brother photocap. Sadly, by press time, CBS still hadn’t posted pics from Wednesday’s live eviction episode, which means we’ll just have to move on to Sunday’s show. That’s okay though. There was plenty of good stuff to mock in this latest episode  specifically the HI-larious food competition, which …
