DONNA FELDMAN: The Most Awkward Talking Head Ever?
The other night, I was watching Red Eye, the late-night gabfest on Fox News, when I witnessed possibly one of the more awkward jokes I’ve seen in quite some time. It came courtesy of model Donna Feldman, who tried to make a funny about Rolling Stones member Ronnie Wood and his affair with an eighteen-year-old …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Let The Fun Begin!
“Wait ’til you see these idiots.” Big Brother is back, and based on last night’s premiere, I think I can say without over-exaggeration that we’ve got an awesome cast. While I liked the winter batch, this new clan of house guests are fantastic. CBS hyped up the diversity big time, and so far, it looks …
Wanna Be On Top?
This could be you! ANTM winner, Jaslene Gonzalez. Since it’s a well known fact that my readers are the most beautiful and striking readers on the Internets, it should come as no surprise that a “modeling consultant” involved in the casting of America’s Next Top Model contacted yours truly about the latest search for Tyra’s …
Blogging Is No Day At The Beach  Except When It Is
The best part about being a full-time writer is that I get to make my own schedule (most of the time); so when my old friend IndianJones proposed going to the beach on his day off from work, I was more than happy to accept the offer  even if it meant abandoning my bedroom/office …

Romance, Jersey Style
The following video may be two years old, but hey, I just found it today. Let me say that I am nothing short of entranced. It details the elaborate courting ritual of New Jersey’s libidinous youth (as seen from the heart of Cabo San Lucas). All future casanovas should watch and learn. Video after the …
The Most Vicious Restaurant Review You Might Read This Year
I realize that a lot of people who read this blog don’t necessarily live in Los Angeles, but that’s no reason why we all can’t simply adore this restaurant review which absolutely eviscerates one of the city’s oldest establishments, Gladstone’s of Malibu. The famed seafood joint gets the royal treatment from Leslie Brenner (subbing in …

Speidi's Got A Gun
Here’s something to disturb you: Heidi and Spencer handling firearms. Yes, if there was ever a photo shoot that could get the Supreme Court to reverse its latest decision on gun control, it would be this one featuring our favorite Hills duo preening at a shooting range. I’m uncomfortable watching trained soldiers brandishing weapons, let …
CALL THE FUN POLICE: Ina Garten Zigzags
This is one of my favorite Barefoot Contessa openings, and not just because Ina Garten talks about the “Fun Police.” No, it’s the awkward wending and winding that makes it so special. It’s like she’s walking through her own WASPy version of Lombard Street. Unfortunately, poor Ina can’t quite walk and talk at the same …
