TV. Food. Pop Culture.
One of the masochistic joys of Big Brother is watching players season after season become deluded with sanctimonious hypocrisy to such a degree that you just want to pull your hair out and kick over your TV. Last year, we had Evel Dick to fuel our frustrations. This time around, we have Crazy James, who …

I have shocking, absolutely SHOCKING news. After a spate of late-night nostalgia led me to look up clips from the failed 1985 NBC series Misfits of Science (featuring, among others, a young Courney Cox), I discovered that Heroes may have ripped off a thing or two from this campy gem.

This week, Big Brother is allowing the viewers to vote one cast member back into the house, and based on the drama that it will stir up, I am officially endorsing Allison as America’s Choice. The reasons are simple: she’s smart, she’s manipulative, and she can stir up trouble like none other. Plus, wouldn’t you …
Hey, I can write about TV again! Where do I begin???
In an exciting twist, I wound up in a paparazzi photo yesterday. But you’ll never guess with whom…
