TV. Food. Pop Culture.
Not a lot of drama (or ANY, for that matter) on the latest episode of Real Housewives of New York City, but that’s okay because the hour served as an amusing trifle of sorts. It all centered on parties: Sweet Sixteens for Avery and Victoria and a surprise bash for Jill. In the midst of …

Video streaming by Ustream We taped a special Friday episode of Housewife Hoedown this week, and of course we just had to spend the bulk of our time talking about LuAnn and Alex from The Real Housewives of New York City. Of course, we covered much more, including New Jersey and a smidgen of O.C. …

It’s summer time, which means we’re already three episodes deep into one of my favorite reality shows ever, Food Network Star (née The Next Food Network Star). So far this seventh (!) season has been pretty excellent, but could we really expect anything less from something involving the inimitable Susie Fogelson? The cast is wide …
Last month, I implored readers to submit haikus about the Reelz channel miniseries The Kennedys. Winners would receive a free copy of the entire production. Well, I haven’t forgotten about the contest. In fact, I’ve chosen a winner. And the winning haiku is… There should be a drink Inspired by the Kennedys Is that in …

It was actually a rather intense discussion, with both sides airing out grievances. They went tit for tat, with …

There’s a general rule of thumb when it comes to Los Angeles: this side of the hills is good, and that side is bad. And by “that side,” I mean the San Fernando Valley, home of strip malls, the porn industry, and the iconic “Valley girl.” Of course, strip malls, porn, and Valley girls all …
This week’s episode of The Real Housewives of New York City was ostensibly about Sonja Morgan’s dwindling empire (much like Teresa Giudice, she faces a multi-million dollar debt), but let’s be real: all that mattered was the wonderful fight between Alex and LuAnn at the end of the show. The rest of the stuff was …

As some of you may know, my friend Katie has landed herself a full-on reality show called The Nail Files on the TV Guide Channel, and guess what? It premieres tomorrow night! The series revolves around Katie and her nail salon, The Painted Nail, and in an attempt to get the word out, TV Guide …

There was a definitely lack of drama on this week’s Real Housewives of New Jersey episode, but I still found the show immensely watchable, thanks to the tension brimming in the Gorga family. Unlike previous installments of this season, this week was less “crazy/funny” and more “sad/depressing.” It was all about family, and we got …
