TV. Food. Pop Culture.
It was all about the boys on this week’s episode of The Hills as Audrina struggled to find love with a perfectly fine Aussie bloke before returning to that perpetual bastion of heartbreak and body odor, Justin Bobby. I guess it’s never easy to get over that special someone, even if his chuckle does show …

How good was Gossip Girl last night? It was THIIISSS good (imagine me spreading my arms out as widely as possible). After a fairly silly episode featuring the ups and downs of Eleanor Waldorf’s fashion show, Gossip Girl rebounded with an installment so chock-full of great one liners that it instantly deserves classic status. The …

Saturday Night Live aired its first of three Thursday night specials last night, and the results were pretty good. A skit making fun of Tuesday’s debate was enjoyable, even if it didn’t reach the instant-classic levels of last Saturday’s vice presidential sendup. Plus, a double segment of Weekend Update was for the most part funny, …

With Yom Kippur finished and my stomach full of food again, I now return to blogging with none other than a Project Runway photocap. Wednesday’s penultimate episode was quite good, and I must say, when it came down to who was going home, I really didn’t know who’d get the ax. Thankfully, the one I …

In a campaign littered with ridiculous controversies, here’s one that ranks near the top of the pack in terms of sheer silliness. The issue at hand: Newsweek’s un-retouched cover of Sarah Palin. According to Republican media consultant Andrea Tantaro, the brutal close-up image is a “clear slap in the face at Sarah Palin,” especially when …

Bravo kicked off its third iteration of the Real Housewives franchise with the premiere of The Real Housewives of Atlanta last night, and it did not disappoint. Despite a frenetic first half which betrayed the show’s signature laid-back tone and pace, the episode eventually settled into its groove and provided a wonderful showdown between breakout …

There were many things to admire in last night’s episode of The Hills, and chief among them was Holly, who taking a page from her mother, finally stood up to Spencer with an “Oh SNAP!” moment to close out the episode. Of course, we did have to wait nearly thirty minutes for the confrontation, but …

I was really hoping that CBS would have some photos up from last night’s HI-larious Amazing Race so I could do a photocap (so much material!), but alas, the webmaster over there seems to be a tad slow/lazy, and as a result, there are no pics. Even worse, they’re not even streaming episodes there after …

I may not have been writing about it as intensively as before, but Mad Men still rocks my world. Last night’s episode was no exception, even if Joan was once again kept on the sidelines. That’s okay though. She doesn’t have much to do most episodes, but her handful of lines and furtive glares usually …

Last night’s Saturday Night Live will certainly be remembered for its hilarious Vice Presidential debate parody, but also deserving plenty of attention is this gut-busting take on The Lawrence Welk Show. Again, it all comes down to Kristen Wiig, who absolutely sells her role as, well, I don’t want to ruin it. Enjoy.
