I don’t normally post about politics here (I’m already asleep), but last night’s Rick Perry gaffe at the umpteenth Republican debate was kiiiiind of amalzing. If you haven’t seen it yet, check out the minute of awkwardness above. Sort of funny, sort of sad. I’m still cringing. Oops.

I’m a little behind on my Internet memes, but apparently for the past three years, there’s been this thing called “Rage Comics” wherein people make comics using crudely drawn faces. If you too hadn’t heard of this, fear not. I have a wonderful introduction for you. An eighty-six year old man uploaded his very own …

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA PHOTOCAP: Are We Sure This Isn’t ‘Drag Race’?
The bitches are back! The Real Housewives of Atlanta have returned, and it’s more flamboyant than ever. Seriously, I’m partially convinced that this is a show based purely on the lives of drag queens in Atlanta. Between the wigs, the diva attitude, the makeup, and the men in women’s accessories, it’s hard to believe there …

LISTEN: Do We Like Madonna’s Leaked Song?
Everyone loves a comeback story, and I have to admit that lately I’ve been ready for my ’80s icons to make a splash again. Whitney Houston, Prince, Phil Collins, Pebbles — I’m pulling for them all. Chief among the stars I’d like to see resurrect themselves is Madonna, and let’s face it, of all the …

Inside Mark Joseph Cakes
Every so often I post about my friends’ bakery, Mark Joseph Cakes, which is run by Mark Randazzo and his wife Leslie.

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS PHOTOCAP: Night of Beauty, Seances
There are two things that every cast member on any Real Housewives excels at: getting cosmetic procedures and interacting with the dead. Last night’s episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills gave us all that and more! The first half of the show focused on an open-house of sorts at Paul’s practice. He invited the …

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS PHOTOCAP: Finding Love Isn’t Kim-possible
I’m baaaack! Sorry everyone that I disappeared for a week. Two non-blogging projects wound up in my lap, and long story short, I really had no time for blogging (let alone several other vital aspects of my life like working out, three meals a deal, and on occasion hygiene). Luckily, my personal bottleneck of activity …
