Just when you thought the Real Housewives universe couldn’t get any kookier, along comes the cast from New Jersey, which promises to be quite possibly the tackiest grouping of nouveau riche ladies yet. What makes me say that? Well, exactly which part of “New Jersey” do you not understand? I suppose now is where I …

HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: Heading Back To The City…
Compared to last week’s episode of The Real Housewives of New York City, last night’s show was rather tame. There were no fights, no major passive-aggressive statements, and certainly no insane bouts of hypocrisy. Still, we had plenty of fun as we watched the ladies do their thing around the city, and for once, Kelly …

'Gossip Girl' Introduces Edith Wharton to the Tween Set
It was so nice to have Gossip Girl back last night. I haven’t written about the show in quite some time, but don’t take that as a lack of interest in my part. The show is still awesome, even when it does dabble in absolutely ridiculous and idiotic storylines (ie. anything Vanessa, the WRECKER, is …

Phil Keoghan Shows Off The PhilPackageâ„¢
PhilFrontalâ„¢ It’s a shame CBS puts up such crappy Amazing Race photos on its website (they post production stills, not screen grabs of the show). Otherwise, I’d totally photocap the weekly globetrotting adventures of this still-great reality show. Nevertheless, I had to get a shot of Phil in his skivvies because, well, it’s PHIL IN …

ADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: Pot Roast Edition
Yesterday, I received a new dutch oven (technically a risotto pot), and in honor of this new, formidable piece of equipment, I knew I just had to braise something. But what? Well, I turned on the television, and there was Tyler Florence whipping up a pot roast. I wouldn’t say that it’s my favorite meal …

LuAnn De Lesseps: "It's Every Girl's Dream To Be A Countess"
The good people at W Magazine recently conducted an interview with Countess LuAnn de Lesseps from The Real Housewives of New York City, and in the piece, the beleaguered taco night detractor attempted some nimble damage control with a dash of self-promotion thrown in for good measure (insert haughty Countess laugh here, as well as …

'American Idol' Cuts 40% Of Its Minority Population In One Night
And now the shocking twist to this season of American Idol: judges will be able to save an ousted contestant anytime between now and the final five. But wait! There’s a twist on the twist. Judges can only exercise this mercy once! Dunh dunh dunhhhh!!! Who will they use it on? Well, certainly not Jasmine …

THE CITY PHOTOCAP: Jay Skips Town, Olivia Creates New Words
Did it happen? Did it really happen? Did Jay and Whitney finally break up on The City? I sure hope so because their relationship has constituted one of the most tiresome storylines in the history of the City / Hills / Laguna franchise. Not since Jessica and J-Wahl  or really LC and J-Wahl â€â€Ã‚ have …

HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: Ramona Stirs Things Up Again
It took a few episodes, but finally Ramona worked her charm and caused a totally awkward â€â€Ã‚ as in painfully awkward â€â€Ã‚ moment on last night’s episode of The Real Housewives of New York City. Oddly enough, I’m not sure she deserves full blame for the situation. What basically happened was that while setting up for a …

'American Idol' Could Prove To Be A Real THRILLER. (Get It?)
I’m just putting this out there: I thought last night’s Top Thirteen on American Idol was one of the strongest “opening nights” the show has ever had. All in all, there were no colossal failures. Some people may not have been super strong, but even the weak ones sounded decent. For once, I could actually …
