TV. Food. Pop Culture.
Hey y’all [said in Paula Deen voice]. I’ve written another post for DipDive.com, and this one focuses on Michelle Obama and Cindy McCain’s respective cookie recipes  apparently the key to this election. Anyway, I’m curious as to how these recipes will turn out, but I’m not sure if I have the patience (or capacity) …

I have been a loyal member of 24 Hour Fitness for years and years, going all the way back to the heady days of 2002 when I joined the gym’s flagship facility in Hollywood just days after opening. I’ve never really had a problem with the place (unlike with the dreadful con-artists at Bally’s Total …

Seeing one celebrity at the gym is always cause for minor celebration. Seeing two is even better. And seeing both of them making out with each other just elevates the entire scene. That’s precisely what happened today as my boring old fitness routine was interrupted by the presence of acclaimed footballer Reggie Bush and his …

Call me a luddite, but sometimes I simply don’t get men’s high fashion. Take, for example, this strange piece profiled in The New York Times. It’s from Alexander McQueen, and while I appreciate that it’s more of an avant garde look aimed at influencing the market more than dominating it, I still can’t help thinking …
It’s not often that I stray from my TV, but once in a while, I do peel myself off the couch and take in a bit of the theatre (pronounced “theee-atttrah”). Case in point: last week, I attended Point Break Live!, the much buzzed-about play which reenacts the famed 1991 action pic, Point Break, live …
Right on the heels of Heidi Montag’s gleefully absurd trainwreck, “Fashion,” another dubiously talented poptart, Vanessa Hudgens of High School Musical fame, has released a similarly sartorial track titled, “Sneakernight.” In terms of production values and general quality, this ode to dancing and sneakers is a significant improvement over the latest Speidi project, but it …

All this discussion about a possible Arrested Development movie has gotten me in a tizzy. I just had to post another video (plus, after my Heidi post, I had to earn back some blogger cred). Anyway, this clip features the gloriously withering reactions of Lucille Bluth (Jessica Walter) at a Denny’s-like restaurant. Comic perfection incarnate.
I just heard Heidi’s new song/caterwaul, “Fashion,” and I’m not going to lie: it’s vapid, atonal, and totally awful. And yet, it’s so crazy catchy that I’ve been whistling it for the past five minutes (and I’ve only heard it once). If you can just get past all the vocoder effects and the French lyrics …

Click for a classic Lucille Austero moment. If Arrested Development comes back, Lucille II wants in. That’s right. Liza Minnelli, who famously played Bluth family rival/siren Lucille Austero, has told the New York Daily News that she wants to be part of the Arrested Development movie. Who knows if producers will heed her request, but …

I’m not playing a trick  er, illusion  on you. The long-rumored Arrested Development movie has been confirmed by Jason Bateman. Details are still murky (they’re witholding. Look at them, getting off…) but according to The Times, it appears as though the Bluth family is coming to the big screen sometime next year. Now, …
