If you’re like me, you’re already missing The Real Housewives of New York City the way Amy Winehouse misses crack (allegedly). This week’s season finale was yet another fine installment in this tremendous guilty pleasure, which again leads me to wonder why Bravo only produced a paltry six episodes. They were probably afraid the show …

Pressing Questions from CBS
Note the warmly curious look on anchor Paul Mager’s face. Welcome to local news, Los Angeles style.
BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: The Last Days of Team Christ
“Friends forever, right Big Sheila?” It’ll be a while before CBS posts their pics from last night’s Big Brother, but in the meantime, here are some photos the house guests took earlier this week. Enjoy…
'Idol' and Mariah Carey: They Belong Together?
I can’t tell you how excited I was for Mariah Carey week on American Idol. It wasn’t because I’m a particularly huge Mariah fan or anything — although I do like her. No, it was because the promise of hearing some youthful songs was downright intoxicating. The musical themes this season have been particularly old …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: If The Birthday Girl Gets Her Wish, She's Gonna Die. Die Inside. DIE!
The nonstop parade of Sheila-isms continued on last night’s Big Brother as the reigning cougar of the house plotted the ouster of Natalie. It’s sort of sad watching this once proud alliance cannibalize itself, but it was the inevitable post-James outcome. Either way, the two guys are sitting pretty. All three girls seem determined to …
What's In Giada's Lap?
It’s been a while since I checked in with one of my favorite Food Network personalities, Giada De Laurentiis; so I thought now would be as good a time as ever to see how’s she’s been doing. Today I turned on Everyday Italian mid-episode, and voila! It only took about three seconds before I started …
How Long Is Relationship Vacation?
I have to admit something. My Hills universe is getting all sorts of murky. It used to be that everyone hated Heidi, except Spencer, Stephanie, and the occasional sidekick (a.k.a. Bolthouse lackey #457). Now everything’s getting all jumbled around. Audrina seems to be dangerously returning to the Heidisphere, Spencer seems to be curiously leaving it, …
