BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Drama in Rachel’s Bush

Let me get this straight: we’re only in week two of Big Brother? The amount of scheming and in-fighting early on this season has been quite lovely, and while we’ve yet to see our first giant fight, tension has been brewing, as evidenced by a brief tiff between Rachel and Jeff last night. Yes, the …

Sneak Peek of Mohawk Bend in Echo Park

Last night I was lucky enough to attend a sneak peek of the new vegan-friendly gastropub Mohawk Bend in Echo Park. The spot comes to us courtesy of the people behind Tony’s Darts Away in Burbank and occupies a space that once housed the Ramona Theater on Sunset Blvd. That famous Vaudeville space is now …

VIDEO: Watch the Official ‘Jersey Shore’ Season 4 Trailer!!

I was afraid the Jersey Shore season four move to Italy would be lame, but if this trailer is any indication, we’ve got plenty of fun drama coming our way. Here’s what we can glean from it: Everyone’s hair is a little different. Not drastically, but enough that it makes you do the Neo-seeing-the-cat-twice-in-the-Matrix look. …

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NJ PHOTCAP: Catching The Christmas Spirit

Christmas is drawing close on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, and that can only mean one thing: time for fights! Luckily, we had Kathy and Teresa around to do the heavy lifting, and when that dustup proved to be a bit too tame, Joe Giudice had a tiff with Melissa’s brother-in-law Joe (no relation …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: The Newbies Need A Helping Hand

It was a Sunday night episode of Big Brother, which meant it wasn’t quite as involved with the drama, but the intrigue with this season has been steadily building. The big news with Thursday’s eviction episode was that Kalia and Shelly voted with the veterans but neither one has ‘fessed up to it to their …

‘Beverly Hills’ Housewife Taylor Armstrong’s Cameo on ‘The Hills’

Before Taylor Armstrong was known as that woman from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills getting divorced, she was merely friends with Linda Thompson, a.k.a. Brody’s Mom. And just as Linda Thompson has made several cameos in Taylor’s world on RHoBH, Taylor, it turns out, has made at least one appearance on The Hills. Pics of …

Cecconi’s of West Hollywood Serves Up Gut-Busting Italian Meal (That’s A Good Thing)

Oh the joys of finally reaching the ranks of “food blogger.” Earlier this week, I was invited to a media-comped dinner at Cecconi’s, the Italian restaurant that took over the former Morton’s space (famous for its Vanity Fair Oscar parties) in West Hollywood, CA. I didn’t know much about the spot going into the evening …

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NYC PHOTOCAP: LuAnn’s Music Video Not The Hot Ticket She Expected

What if you made a music video, and no one came to be in it? Would it still make a noise? That’s the philosophical question that I’m sure someone asked when watching last night’s catty, penultimate (sniff sniff) episode of The Real Housewives of New York City. The big news was that LuAnn was putting …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: End of Regulation

Last night was our first eviction episode on Big Brother, but you wouldn’t have known it based on the drama and intrigue over the course of the hour. We had the Veterans pushing to get Keith out of the house, the Regulators, looking to get Porsche out of the house, and the leftovers simply trying …

EMMY NOMINATIONS: Let’s Look At The Ballot, Shall We?

The 2011 Primetime Emmy Nominations came out today, and generally they look pretty solid. It was the usual mix of old standbys and random new faces. The only difficult thing for me was realizing that I watch so much reality TV now that my authority on scripted fare isn’t quite what it used to be. …
