VIDEO: ‘Downton Arby’s’ Is By Far The Best ‘Downton Abbey’ Parody Yet

I love me some Downton Abbey, and we’ve seen some spirited parodies over the past few months, including a rather funny, if overlong, video featuring various British comics and Kim Catrall (“Uptown Downstairs Abbey“). To me though, the best of the lot comes from that hallowed epicenter of comedy… Yahoo? Yup, Yahoo! apparently now has …

BANTER WITH BEN AND LISA: Ep. 33 – Hunger Games, Kim Kardashian, and Dolvett

This week, Lisa and I talk about our anticipation for The Hunger Games movie as well as a variety of other stories from pop culture, including Kim Kardashian’s flour attack, Joba Chamberlain’s trampoline accident, a bizarre crime case from Australia, and Whitney Houston’s autopsy results. Plus, there’s plenty of obsession over The Biggest Loser’s Dolvett …

Tournament of Cham 2012 Week 2 Update!

This has been quite the year for March Madness, and after a crazy weekend, we have our Final Four: Kentucky, Louisville, Ohio State, and Kansas.

I don’t think I’m overstating this. Watching Colton and Alicia gang up on outcast Christina was so hideous and vile …

A New Look at B-Side Blog

In case you didn’t notice, there’s a new look here at B-Side Blog. It all happened because my previous theme was so slow on the backend (ie. the control panels, the stuff I need to do to upload posts) that I decided to streamline everything into a clean, simple layout. Some notable features you may …

RHOC PHOTOCAP: Restaurants and Recovery

After last week’s krunko-Bunco party (and yes, I did just coin that term), things settled down on Tuesday’s Real Housewives of Orange County. We dealt with the aftermath of Briana’s major surgery as well as the more amusing recovery process of Alexis’s minor procedure. It should be noted that while Briana had her janky thyroid …

SHAHS OF SUNSET: Bingeing and Persian in Vegas

The Shahs of Sunset has not pulled in stellar ratings, which is too bad because the show is almost impossibly addictive. These characters — all disaster, all appealing — scream and yell their way through an episode like unruly drunkards, which is quite possibly what they are. So far, there hasn’t been much on screen …
