Peggs to Don: What's Up, DON?

Sunday’s episode of Mad Men was the strongest of the season so far (in my humble opinion, as they say), and it was all thanks to a restoration of a proper Peggs-Bets ratio. Specifically, when there is more Peggy and less Betsy, the show excels, and since Sunday’s episode focused rather intensively on Peggs — …

HILLS RECAP: And That's Why You Don't Invite Israel and Iran to the Same Party

The Hills is back in more ways than one. Last night’s episode was a pure joy — from the awkward interactions between Audrina and Lo to the awkward interactions between Kelly Cutrone and her short-lived peon Jessica. And, of course, let’s not overlook the awkward interactions between Spencer and… EVERYONE. Yes, it was one episode …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: One Wicked Veto!

Things ain’t looking too good for April and Ollie. Tuesday’s veto episode didn’t go quite their way (despite April’s awkward attempts to buy Dan off with gold bars), and now it looks like our horny platinum blonde OCD sufferer might be headed out the door. I suppose we’ll find out soon enough. In the meantime, …

Sanjaya Hawks Insurance; Still Sucks

However, after checking out …

HE'S BIG TIME NOW: Jessie Hits The YouTube Circuit

Can’t get enough Jessie? Well, here he is on The Gregory Mantell Show, an internet based series about bodybuilding, bodybuilders, and the people who love them. This clip is remarkable less for the silly things that Jessie says (we’re used to that by now — but they’re still hilarious), but more for the way the …

HILLS RECAP: To Old Friends and New Beginnings

The Olympic Games may be in full swing these days, but they’re not the only place to find intense sparring, emotional intrigue, and slack-jawed googly eyes. No, for all those fine elements (particularly the latter), we have The Hills, which made its triumphant, if arbitrary return for Season Four last night on MTV. I say …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Screw Up The Noms? YOU BETTA NOT!!

It’s Sunday night, which means after an interminable two day wait, CBS has blessed us with another episode of Big Brother. There wasn’t anything particularly stunning about this latest installment, but it was fun and funny all the same — culminating in two laugh-out-loud segments focusing on first April’s “pet” poodle Polly and then on …
