Blackberry Faces The Cosmic Wrath of B-Side Blog

Stocks for Blackberry fell 20% last night and continued to plummet an additional 25% today after engaging in a risky investment in smartphones. Why do I care? Well, because last night I was on the list for a Blackberry party in Beverly Hills, but when I showed up with my usual cohorts of Jash and …

EXCLUSIVE: Inside the Fox Reality Channel "Really" Awards

I’ve had quite the run of exclusive experiences of late: a meet and greet with Julie Chen, a visit to The Soup, a stroll through the Gossip Girl set, and of course, back to back infiltrations of the Big Brother finale and wrap party. Am I bragging? Indeed. (Somebody’s gotta drum up traffic around here). …

B-Side Blog Goes to 'The Soup,' Enjoyable Experiences Follow

Last Thursday, I had a whirlwind day. First I had the pleasure of attending the penultimate Big Brother episode of the season, then I got to meet Julie Chen, and then I hopped into my car and drove from the Big Brother house directly to the E! Studios to catch a taping of The Soup. …

FROM THE VAULTS: Random Pics from Hollywood Parties

With today being the seven year anniversary of me moving to Los Angeles, I decided to browse nostalgically through my old iPhoto library, and much to my surprise, I came across a series of photos that I never published back at TVgasm.

Costas Mandylor Meets His #1 Fan

When it comes to celebrity gossip, other blogs specialize in Brangelina or Nicole Kidman or Tom Cruise. Me? I specialize in former stars of Picket Fences. Or at least, that’s the trend I’m hoping to start. That’s right, over this past weekend, my friends and I came smack-dab, face-to-face with none other than Costas Mandylor, …

My Trip to the 'Big Brother' Live Show

Last night, a Big Brother dream nearly came true. I came thiiiiis close to meeting the Chenbot. How? Well, I went to the Big Brother live eviction show, and needless to say, it was amazing. Not only was it super fun, but it was incredibly fascinating too. I can’t describe how surreal it was to …

Blogging Is No Day At The Beach — Except When It Is

The best part about being a full-time writer is that I get to make my own schedule (most of the time); so when my old friend IndianJones proposed going to the beach on his day off from work, I was more than happy to accept the offer — even if it meant abandoning my bedroom/office …

24 Hour Fitness Tries to Screw Me Over, Ranting Ensues

I have been a loyal member of 24 Hour Fitness for years and years, going all the way back to the heady days of 2002 when I joined the gym’s flagship facility in Hollywood just days after opening. I’ve never really had a problem with the place (unlike with the dreadful con-artists at Bally’s Total …

SPOTTED: Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush Kissing At The Gym

Seeing one celebrity at the gym is always cause for minor celebration. Seeing two is even better. And seeing both of them making out with each other just elevates the entire scene. That’s precisely what happened today as my boring old fitness routine was interrupted by the presence of acclaimed footballer Reggie Bush and his …
