Serena van der Woodsen FTW!

This season of Gossip Girl has been getting stronger and stronger, especially now that all awkward attempts at integrating Vitamin Water into the proceedings have been relegated to a mere refrigerator in Vanessa’s stupid gallery café (attendance: zero). Last night’s episode, with its crackling dialogue and deft plotting, proved to be the best so far …

HILLS RECAP: Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves

After several episodes of increasing tension between Audrina, Lauren, and Lo, The Hills settled back into a casual groove this past week with an installment that was a bit less action-oriented than recent eps. Basically, nothing happened. I mean, nothing. Granted, there were several breezy lunches, which were about as riveting as one would expect. …

SO I THINK I CAN DANCE: Me and Renny Edition

In case you haven’t seen it, last week at the Big Brother wrap party, I was privileged enough to dance with the one and only Renny, an experience I will treasure and love for many years to come. Intern Nick of TVgasm was there to capture it all (it was he who snapped the photos …

INSIDE THE 'BIG BROTHER' WRAP PARTY: Photos, Photos, and More Photos

The latest excellent season of Big Brother just came to an end, and what better way to celebrate it than by heading to the wrap party, a tradition I participated in back in the TVgasm days. For three years in a row, I was lucky enough to get into the parties for seasons five, six, …

Further Adventures from the 'Gossip Girl' Set

Last Thursday, I engaged in a whirlwind of activity that started with meeting Julie Chen and ended with a trip to The Soup. But my pop-culture odyssey did not end there. Less than a day later, I found myself standing on the set of Gossip Girl in New York City, a nifty twist of fate …

INTERVIEW: Dan Dan, He's Our Man, If He Can't Win, No One Can!

Apologies for the lame headline. It just had to be said. Nevertheless, by now there are plenty of Big Brother interviews clogging up the internets, and of course, one of my favorites is this one from Midseason Replacements. EdHill asks this season’s winner, Dan, about all sorts of things — but of course, all I really …

INSIDE THE BIG BROTHER FINALE: That Yellow Bubble Sign? Yeah, That Was Us.

And so with a burst of confetti and a rousing standing ovation, this tenth and wonderful season of Big Brother 10 came to a close tonight, and you can bet your bottom dollar that I found my way into the audience. Come hell or high water, there was no way I was gonna miss the …

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. …

HILLS RECAP: Don't Cry For Me, Audrina

Apologies all around. It’s been a week since The Hills aired its last episode, and I haven’t even posted anything close to resemble a recap — a major offense given all the drama surrounding this latest installment. I’d like to blame it all on the Vegas adventures, for the sheer insanity on display there was enough …
