What a strange world we live in: Lawon became slightly less terrible, I’m rooting for Daniele Donato, and according to Porche, what I always thought to be the elbow is actually the shoulder. Who knew? Yes, bizarre happenings on the latest Big Brother, and all of them were entertaining. From watching Rachel bite it during …

I can’t say I was terribly surprised with last night’s eviction on Big Brother. Heck, CBS didn’t even try to throw some misdirection our way. But that didn’t stop me from enjoying yet another entertaining episode. The season is moving forward just the way we want it to — and significantly better than last year’s. …

Just three days ago, I was extolling Daniele Donato’s gameplay on Big Brother, saying how she was quietly playing a great, shrewd game. Alas, idle hands are the devil’s hands — or whatever that dumb expression is. With too much time on her hands, Daniele has grown overeager with her strategizing, and now she’s been …
For what feels like the twelfth consecutive week, it’s still Christmas on The Real Housewives of NJ, and it looks like Santa delivered at least one gift early: Kim G!

I love me some Real Housewives of New York City, and I love me some Bravo reunion, but even I had to admit that last night’s ninety minute special was deplorable. Don’t get me wrong — I highly enjoyed it, but these women have all gone off the deep end. Any shreds of dignity they …

Lisa VanderPump isn’t the only person at Villa Blanca making a splash on TV. The restaurant’s executive chef Francis Dimitrius recently appeared on Food Network’s Extreme Chef, the show which tasks chefs to brave the elements and concoct a meal in just thirty minutes. Francis, who Lisa VanderPump told me on Sunday was almost a …

There’s nothing better than when a silly, inconsequential luxury competition sets off a chain reaction on a reality show. We’ve seen it happen umpteen times on Survivor, and on last night’s Big Brother, it happened again. Here’s how it all went down: to hype up the premiere episode of Same Name, the producers arranged a …

Well, it’s over. The fourth season of The Real Housewives of New York City managed to survive the departure of Bethenny Frankel by serving us an extra helping of catty in-fighting for sixteen glorious episodes. I think just about everyone fought with everyone… except for Kelly, who emerged as the most mature and level-headed woman …

Every season, the Chenbot dazzles us with an outfit so unconventional, so bizarre that it becomes instantly legendary. There was her sparkling astronaut pantsuit one year. And there was her orange jumpsuit another year. Last night, Julie defied expectations and busted out her first ever cape. That’s right: Chenbot wore a CAPE. As in, the …
