REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA PHOTOCAP: A Laborious Episode

Ladies and gentlemen: The Zolciak has spawned again. Yes, Kim gave birth to her baby boy KJ on last night’s episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, but despite the high drama that accompanies such activities, I couldn’t help but think this latest installment was a snoozefest. I literally dozed off at one point, which …

Which Musical Number Did You Like Best from The ‘Community’ Christmas Special?

There’s a chance that last night’s episode of Community may have been its last, and what better way to go out than by mocking shlock like Glee while simultaneously serving us up a bevy of amusing musical numbers? After the jump, check out some of the best tunes and weigh in on which one you …

REVENGE RECAP: This Tyler Business Is Getting Out of Hand

Revenge returned to the airwaves last night after a brief break, and I’m proud to announce it continues to be a loony, delirious mess. I had nearly forgotten where we were in the Thorne-Grayson intrigue, and an opening scene featuring some martial arts training between Emily and her sansei Satoshi had me seriously scratching my …

SURVIVOR PHOTOCAP: So It’s Turned Into One of THOSE Seasons

A few weeks ago, Cochran made an epic move on Survivor: South Pacific — a move that greatly imperiled his former tribe. Sure enough, we had to watch them all go home one by one, which constituted a rather boring patch in an otherwise great season. It’s a shame, really. Cochran’s big move didn’t have …

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA: Bar One Is Atlanta’s Hottest Club!

A few observations from this past week’s Real Housewives of Atlanta: 1) Somehow, Phaedra has become one of my favorite housewives. She’s ridiculous, but she’s also hilarious, and this season, she’s eased up on the bullshit (ie. claiming she was at full term after six months of pregnancy). Now what we have a jolly woman …

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS PHOTOCAP: A Big Crying Mess

Let me know if you’ve heard this one before: Taylor Armstrong goes to a social event, cries, accuses everyone of not knowing what she’s going through, and then redirects her own frustrations with her marriage at another woman. It should sound familiar because it’s happened twice already on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and …

BANTER WITH BEN AND LISA: Episode 22 – Talking About Mariah, Redickulous, and Brownies

Lisa and I are back with another podcast! We recorded this one on Friday while eating ice cream, and admittedly, we’re a little hyper after having stuffed ourselves with Indian food just prior. Normally that would be cause to enter food coma, but we just became more bonkers. The two of us actually recorded two …

VIDEO: Santa Claus Is Coming To Town… Very Slowly and Painfully

Someone had the brilliant idea to have Santa Claus rappel down to his workshop from atop a mall in Florida. Things, as you can imagine, did not go smoothly. It was about time those kids learned the truth about Santa anyway. What’s sadder: the destroyed childhoods or watching Santa helplessly toil away? Via Geekologie

Eastern Mediterranean Fare At Mezze in West Hollywood

Small plates are a big thing in Los Angeles these days, which can be a blessing and a curse — if I may be so dramatic. On the upside, small plates lead to greater variety in a meal, and they also engender a convivial social element that comes from sharing food with friends. On the …

ADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: Black Friday Chocolate Soufflé Edition

This past Friday, while the rest of America was fighting over $2 waffle irons at Wal-Mart, my friend Esi (of Dishing Up Delights), Esi’s sister, and I went hiking instead. The three of us trekked up to the world famous Hollywood sign at sunset, which was kind of like the most spectacular thing ever, but …
