REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NJ REUNION PHOTOCAP: Teresa Continues to Defy Logic, Intelligence

Bravo aired the second part of its Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion special last night, and it was more or less the same stuff we saw last week: ceaseless Teresa bashing with an occasional moment of levity (ie. Caroline scratching her ass, which was actually just more Teresa bashing). Don’t get me wrong: I …

SURVIVOR PHOTOCAP: These People Are All A Little Crazy, Huh?

Survivor! You know, after this past season of Big Brother, the three photocaps a week kind of killed me. When it was all said and done, I was pretty much burned out, especially when it came to covering CBS shows. I don’t want to bore you with the details, but obtaining the media for these …

VIDEO: B-Side Blog Visits Elite Restaurant for KCET’s ‘Free Lunch’ Series

Local independent TV station KCET has recently launched a web series titled Free Lunch, which treats commenters on kcet.org to — you guessed it — a free lunch in the area. I was lucky enough to participate in the series, and since my ol’ college friend Leah was in town, I invited her to join …

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS PHOTOCAP: Crystal Clear Accusations

Reality TV has given us some great, nonsensical insults: “prostitution whore,” “whore pit viper,” and now “slut pig,” courtesy of Kim Richards. Yes, the scrappy, oft incoherent former child star continued her screed against Brandi Glanville on last night’s episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and it was just as catty as we could …

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NJ REUNION PHOTOCAP: Teresa Faces The Fire

Here’s a fun fact that my friend jash filled me in on: the character of “Boo” from Super Mario Bros. is actually called “Teresa” in Japan. It sort of makes sense if you think about it. After all, Teresa Giudice bears many similarities to that pixelated fiend. They’re both evil, they both have fangs, and …

ADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: Ina Garten’s Chocolate Cake Edition

Last week, I was both craving chocolate and feeling the need to procrastinate on an epic scale. What better excuse to bake a chocolate cake? But which recipe should I use? The last time I tried to make chocolate cake, I made an epic disaster by fusing a Mark Bittman recipe with an Aida Mollenkamp …

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NJ PHOTOCAP: Closing The Book on Another Season

The long and wonderful season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey came to an end this week, but not without one last dose of drama. And this wasn’t just any drama. This was BOOK drama — the kind these Jersey girls specialize in. This time around, the offending author was Teresa, whose cook book …

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS PHOTOCAP: Let The Games Begin!

We’ve had “The Last Supper.” We’ve had “The Dinner Party from Hell.” And now Bravo has introduced us to GAME NIGHT, which wasn’t nearly as full of the merriment and whimsey as the name implies. Don’t get me wrong — it was crazy fun for the us, the audience. I’m not so sure the same …
