This week on Banter with Ben and Lisa, Ben and Lisa tackle some of the most important subjects of all time: Magic Mike, humidity, and Occupy LA. Yes, we’re keeping it REAL. Expect lots on Channing Tatum, Matthew McConaughey, and naturally, Rene Russo. Wait, what? Rene Russo? Just listen. Oh, and if you haven’t watched …

Well, the latest great season of Food Network Star is rapidly drawing to a close with viewers getting to select a winner on this upcoming Sunday’s show, and for the first time ever, I must admit that I truly like all the final contenders. If you haven’t watched last night’s episode, beware: spoilers ahead…
There were all sorts of big moments for The Real Housewives of New Jersey last night. Melissa Gorga finally put herself on display on display at Beatstock, a gig that attracted 10,000 festivalgoers, at least according to her.

Lisa Timmons and I were bored recently; so we decided to take a look at a forgotten gem from the ’90s: “Everything Changes” by Kathy Troccoli. Who? Doesn’t matter. Anyway, enjoy our commentary, and sorry for the bad audio quality. Will improve it in the future!
language nsfw The Real Housewives of Orange County reunited this week, which means that Matt Whitfield (Yahoo! TV), Ronnie Karam (TVgasm.com) and I were able to have a field day on the latest episode of Watch What Crappens. The three of us tear apart pretty much all the women — and ourselves — as we …

Not a huge amount happened on this week’s episode of Real Housewives of New Jersey. It felt vaguely like a scrapheap episode, one formed from random odds and ends of footage. The focus began on Teresa and her brother Joe as they both agreed that therapy simply wasn’t for them. After all, it’s not like …

A few years ago, celebrity (and celebrated) chef Susan Feniger opened up Street in Hollywood, a restaurant that bills itself as a home for global street food. For some strange reason, I had never set foot in the establishment until a few weeks ago when I was invited to enjoy a media-comped dinner there, and …
