Current TV Goes Into Rio’s Slums
Ever since I saw Children of God (amazing, you should rent it), I’ve been somewhat fascinated with Rio De Janeiro’s slums, known as favelas. Recently, the compelling searing social commentary of a similarly high-minded film, Fast Five, brought us back to the favela, and once again, my fascination has been stirred anew. Well, for those …

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NYC PHOTOCAP: Mothers, Daughters, and Pasties
Bravo did the old bait and switch on the latest episode of Real Housewives of New York City. The preview had shown all sorts of drama surrounding LuAnn and her music video, but what actually aired was none of that. Instead we were left with a pretty dull episode — perhaps the worst of the …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Don’t Have A Cow, Man
We’re already on to our second episode of Big Brother 13, and I continue to be rather happy with the season so far. Since this was a Sunday installment, it was rather low excitement. We only had nominations and a bizarre Have-or-Have-Not competition to keep things interesting, but that being said, I’m enjoying the way …

Countess LuAnn Is In Good Company
We’ve all written off LuAnn De Lesseps’ latest trifle as something of a drag queen treatise on the good life, but here’s the surprising news: LuAnn isn’t releasing her spoken-word songs on some random label willing to cash in on her reality fame.

VIDEO: Drunk Snooki Dances with Plant
In the annals of drunken celebrities unleashing themselves on vegetation, Kiefer Sutherland’s man vs. Christmas tree takes the cake. But coming in a close second is this bizarre and sad danse macabre between Snooki from Jersey Shore and a potted plant.
