I’m not playing a trick  er, illusion  on you. The long-rumored Arrested Development movie has been confirmed by Jason Bateman. Details are still murky (they’re witholding. Look at them, getting off…) but according to The Times, it appears as though the Bluth family is coming to the big screen sometime next year. Now, …

Great! She’ll make lunch. Ever since I saw the intro to this (GOOD) episode of Barefoot Contessa last year, it has ranked as one of my favorite Ina Garten moments. The combination of her WASPy sass and pleasant hospitality mixed with the images of her swabbing down a deck are too amazing to be denied. …
Who wants to start their week off with some light insensitivity? You do? GREAT! Let’s take a look at this blog entry from Amy Crews, formerly of Big Brother 3. Now, I’ve always liked Amy, but this story of hers is just ridiculous. It sort of plunges into awfulness so aggressively that it comes full …

I was really hoping for more histrionics and drama in the episode  or at the very least, some hostile barking from Lisa  but we really only got a bunch of montages that weren’t too great. I did, however, …

Last week, I was invited to a very special Emmy celebration. No, this wasn’t an award show. No golden statuettes were handed out. This was a celebration for the Emmys. You see, our favorite television award turned sixty this year, and to celebrate this ripe old anniversary, the Academy decided to throw an event, replete …
Click to play Tonight, Bravo airs the Top Chef: Chicago reunion, and what better way to get in the mood than by listening to the music of Padma Lakshmi. No, these aren’t original compositions. These are merely a sampling of her favorite tunes, which she shared on Los Angeles NPR outpost, KCRW. To hear the …
Who killed Laura Palmer? That’s one secret I’ll never tell.–XOXO, Gossip Cougar. Holy umlaut! What happens if you take three of my favorite subjects  cougars, Twin Peaks, and Gossip Girl  and mix them together? You get Mädchen Amick, who according to EW.com, will be joining the buzzworthy CW teen soap this fall as …
