What a glorious day.  Earlier this afternoon, I stepped out of my friend’s apartment, walked around the corner, and bam!  I came face to face with a landmark fresh out of The Real Housewives of New York City.  I’m talking about Zarin Fabrics and Home Furnishings, the fabric empire run by Bobby Zarin  a.k.a. the …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Final FRICKIN Four
I nearly fainted when I saw that Big Brother had been preempted in New York for forty uninterrupted minutes of the Pope getting on an airplane, but luckily, CBS.com proved to be my friend again. I watched the episode online, and voila, here’s the photocap!
AT LAST: A Look Inside the 'Survivor' Jury
Well look at this giant video player. For years I’ve wondered what life was like for the Survivor jury. Were the castaways allowed to talk about the game with each other? Where did they stay? What did it look like? Was it fun? Well, during last week’s uh-mazing episode, I noticed an interstitial promoting something …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Fact or Fiction — Wednesday's Show Was One of the Best of the Season
It may have been several day ago, but Wednesday’s installment of Big Brother was great. We had fights in the house, squirming on the live show, drama on the jury, a tie in the voting, and an HOH competition fraught with conspiracy theories and intrigue (and a tie breaker). I loved every ounce of it. …
'Housewives' Conclude Fantastic First Season With Delightful Mix of Awkwardness and Snobbery
If you’re like me, you’re already missing The Real Housewives of New York City the way Amy Winehouse misses crack (allegedly). This week’s season finale was yet another fine installment in this tremendous guilty pleasure, which again leads me to wonder why Bravo only produced a paltry six episodes. They were probably afraid the show …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: The Last Days of Team Christ
“Friends forever, right Big Sheila?” It’ll be a while before CBS posts their pics from last night’s Big Brother, but in the meantime, here are some photos the house guests took earlier this week. Enjoy…
'Idol' and Mariah Carey: They Belong Together?
I can’t tell you how excited I was for Mariah Carey week on American Idol. It wasn’t because I’m a particularly huge Mariah fan or anything — although I do like her. No, it was because the promise of hearing some youthful songs was downright intoxicating. The musical themes this season have been particularly old …

FINALLY: 'Big Brother' Jury Drama
Big Brother was one hell of a doozy tonight. The drama was pretty much as good as it can ever get. I don’t anticipate that CBS will have the screen shots up before Sunday; so it might be a while before there’s a photocap. In the meantime, for fans of the show, this clip is …
BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: If The Birthday Girl Gets Her Wish, She's Gonna Die. Die Inside. DIE!
The nonstop parade of Sheila-isms continued on last night’s Big Brother as the reigning cougar of the house plotted the ouster of Natalie. It’s sort of sad watching this once proud alliance cannibalize itself, but it was the inevitable post-James outcome. Either way, the two guys are sitting pretty. All three girls seem determined to …
