'Idol' Returns To Los Angeles with Most ProActiv-y Guest Judges Yet!

Apologies for taking a week off on the American Idol coverage last week. I fell woefully behind on my DVR and writing (I still haven’t watched any of this season of 24 yet, but don’t worry, I’m gonna chip away at it as soon as I’m done with this post; hopefully with a recap soon). …

HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: Parents Just Don't Understand

This week’s installment of The Real Housewives of Orange County was all about testing the boundaries (hence the episode title, “No Boundaries”). First, we had Gretchen’s friend pushing the limits of proper etiquette by allegedly flirting with Alexis’s husband (but who wouldn’t, right ladies? Right??), and then we had Lynne’s daughter Alexa full on challenging …

The Perfect Mate For Snooki?

Watching Snooki dance alone on the Seaside Heights boardwalk last week, I immediately thought of one thing: this classic YouTube video of a pseudo-Pauly D shaking his thang in a similar beachside community; albeit in Mexico, not Jersey. Perhaps someday these two rhythm lovers will meet. Until then, we’ll just have the memories of their …

JERSEY SHORE PHOTOCAP: End of a Good Situation

Sadness. The first pure, “innocent” season of Jersey Shore has come to an end, which means we’ll no longer have not just a surplus of fist fights and house music on TV, but also a profound lack of self-awareness. Yes, as Jersey Shore has gone on to become a pop culture sensation, its stars — …

REAL HOUSEWIVES PREVIEW: Tupperware Turf War!

The Real Housewives of Orange County is back tonight, and hopefully this episode will make up for last week’s somewhat dull offering. It certainly seems promising, what with Alexis bearing her claws (fun fact: her claws have fake boobs too) at some random lady for allegedly getting too close to husband Jim (who we all …

JERSEY SHORE PHOTOCAP: Go Directly To Jail. Do Not Pass Go. Do Not Battle To House Music.

Sorry I’m a little behind with my photocapping duties. Last week’s double episode of Jersey Shore was a lot for me to take in. Granted, it was sort of the usual stuff: fist fights, booty calls, wide-scale butchering of the English language. This time, however, we got the added bonus of an Israeli stalker, and …

Govind Armstrong To Appear on 'Top Chef: Masters'

“I’m a Master, y’all!” The cast hasn’t been announced yet, but according to my friend, the very reliable Katherine Spiers, local Los Angeles chef Govind Armstrong (Table 8, 8 Oz. Burger Bar) will be one of the contestants competing on the upcoming season of Top Chef: Masters. We don’t know how well he’ll fare, but …
