REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NYC PHOTOCAP: Girl, Interrupted…

They’re baaaaaaAAAAAACK. Well, at least three of them. I speak, of course, of The Real Housewives of New York City, which has been revamped with new opening credits, a new artistic direction, and of course a new(ish) cast. Gone are Cindy, Kelly, Jill, and Alex. In their place come three fresh faces. Well, I use …

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF OC PHOTOCAP: Costa Rica Suave

I suppose the Real Housewives of Orange County will be wrapping up in the next few weeks because we’re already at the group trip that almost always signals the home stretch of every season. This year, the ladies headed down to Costa Rica for a five-day excursion — or rather, a two day jaunt in …

10 Things Starships Were Meant To Do (Other Than Fly)

After hearing Nicki Minaj’s ubiquitous hit Starships for about the umpteenth time today, I couldn’t help but get the phrase “Starships were meant to fly” in my head for the latter part of my afternoon. It made me think: starships might be meant to fly, but is that all they can do? After the jump, …

Sizing Up The ‘Food Network Star’ Contestants

It’s hard to believe, but we’re on our eighth season of Food Network Star, and this year, the competition began a little earlier than usual, premiering last week in the middle of May. Our old friends Bob Tuschman and the incomparable Susie Fogelson are back, as well as the show’s mainstay of mentors — Bobby …

WATCH WHAT CRAPPENS: Ep. 16 – First Jersey Smackdown of the Season!

If y’all saw the fight on Real Housewives of New Jersey, then you know we have a lot to talk about on this week’s episode of Watch What Crappens. As usual, Matt Whitfield (Yahoo!), Ronnie Karam (TVgasm.com), and I go to town on these silly women, and naturally, we manage to spend way more time …

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NJ PHOTOCAP: Summer Solstice Feels As Cold As Winter

Ah, the frustrating joys of watching Teresa Giudice argue. We got a double dose of that Sunday night (if you count Celebrity Apprentice) with our first blow-out screaming match of the season on Real Housewives of New Jersey. The quarrel was long and stupid, emphasis on stupid, which is more or less par for the …

ADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: Pernil Edition

Last week, my friend Guy celebrated his birthday, and in typical, punny form, we threw him a potluck with the theme of “Guy foods.” Get it? (If you don’t, you’re an idiot). Anyway, I didn’t know what to make, but I knew it probably should revolve around some sort of giant slab of meat. Ribs? …

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NJ PHOTOCAP: Ashley’s Leaving On A Jet Plane… We Think

Ah, stupidity. As usual, much of it was on display this week on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, and while Teresa is normally the epicenter of the intellectual vacuum, it was truly Ashley who served as the black hole of cognitive processes. You see, she had a very simple task: get thee on an …

WATCH WHAT CRAPPENS: Ep. 15 – Our Very First Live Show!

Watch What Crappens takes it to the people this week with our first ever live studio audience. Taping from the Improv Olympic in Hollywood, Matt Whitfield (Yahoo), Ronnie Karam (TVgasm), and I are joined on stage by Hanna LoPatin (Vh1’s Stevie TV) to discuss the latest crap on Bravo. It’s all the usual suspects: Real …

BANTER WITH BEN AND LISA: Ep: 35 – Kim & Kanye Together? Also, A Special Cameo from Michael Ealy!

Things get a bit racy on this week’s episode of “Banter with Ben and Lisa” as Lisa and I tackle the most pressing dilemma in America: the romance of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. Then it’s on to Brian McKnight, who has surprised the Internet with his very adult ode to female anatomy. Later, Lisa …
