BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Shelly Longs For Vindication

After weeks of playing all sides of the house, Shelly finally felt some heat on last night’s Big Brother. Oddly enough, it was she who brought it on herself. After having been nominated by Daniele, Shelly went on a warpath to clear the record about an alleged pact she had with Brenchel to go to …

JERSEY SHORE PHOTOCAP: Florence and the Drinking Machines

Not much happened on the latest episode of Jersey Shore, and what did happen felt all too familiar. Deena fell over. Ronnie got wasted. Sammi realized she still loved Ronnie. Deena fell over again. Situation got a blowjob. Deena fell a third time. Ronnie fell. Sammi fell. And J-Woww made coffee in the most unconventional …

REAL HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: Jacqueline Finally Realizes That Her Daughter Is Awful

It was all about the kids and parents on this week’s episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. For Melissa, it meant communicating with her dead father through a “median” (before plunging into an earsplitting recording session of “On Display”). For Kathy, it meant having The Talk with her daughter in advance of a …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Bad News for the Newbies

For several weeks, I’ve wanted the newbies on Big Brother to band together and dismantle the Veterans and their total dominance. I’m starting to think that will never, ever happen. Much like on Survivor when the producers bring back former castaways, the new kids seem to be in awe of the vets, and they’re so …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Idiots, All of Them

Last night’s episode of Big Brother was utterly frustrating, full of dumb decisions, annoying outcomes, and questionable situations. It had me rolling my eyes and gritting my teeth. I was so angry. In other words, it was a great episode. Being a Big Brother fan means enduring hideous things, often in the form of watching …

I’ve had a run of culinary successes lately — the kind that have me boasting such things as “This has to be one of the best Adventures in Domesticity experiences of ALL TIME.” Well, it got me to thinking if I could actually pinpoint the BEST Adventure in Domesticity. I couldn’t. However, as I approach …

ADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: Gianduja-Stracciatella Gelato Edition (a.k.a. Hazelnut Chocolate Chip)

My ice cream maker has seen a bit of activity lately. In the past few weeks, I’ve churned out a delicious olive oil ice cream and a sensational Guinness milk chocolate ice cream (if only I had documented it), and last night, I took on my most formidable foe yet: Gianduja-Stracciatella Gelato. If you’re scratching …

Your guide to some of Downtown LA’s best bars: divey hole-in-the-walls, swanky rooftop escapes, artsy biergartens, and much more…

JERSEY SHORE PHOTOCAP: Trash TV, Italian Style

Our favorite gelled up, boob-inflated mooks from Seaside Heights returned late last week with the rousing season premiere of Jersey Shore. This time, the gang headed East to the motherland, Italy, for some back-to-roots boozing and bacchanalia. I wasn’t sure how the rather refined locale of Florence would work on this decidedly low-market show, but …
