We’re back with another episode of Banter with Ben and Lisa. This time around we talk more about The Real Housewives of New Jersey, but there’s some brief discussion of The Olive Garden, Red Lobster, and other fine establishments tucked away at the back of the show. Hope you enjoy! [powerpress]

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Breaking Up The Family

Big Brother bid adieu to another cast member last night, but the real story wasn’t whether or not Kristen or Hayden were going home but rather that the Chenbot had her first major fashion idiosyncrasy of the season (if we ignore her peculiar demi-pantsuit from the first week). Yes, Julie Chen came to us in …

Movieline Makes The Inevitable ‘Jersey Shore’ / Super Mario Bros. Connection

I didn’t photocap Jersey Shore last week because a) I was traveling, and b) nothing really happened beyond a ridiculous argument, courtesy of Angelina. Don’t worry though. I will soon be ramping up my Jersey coverage, and in the meantime, please enjoy the wonderful parallels that my friend Louis at Movieline has drawn between the …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Wizards and Warriors

I was kind of half asleep when I watched last night’s episode of Big Brother, but I must admit, my pendulum of emotion is swinging pro-Rachel these days. Why? Well, the more of a pussy Brendon acts, the more fed up Rachel becomes. And the more fed up Rachel becomes, the more entertaining she is. …

JUST BECAUSE: A Deleted ‘Arrested Development’ Scene

It’s been a good day, and good days call for The Lucilles. I of course am referring to the Lucilles Bluth and Austero, seen in the above deleted scene from Arrested Development. This clip has been lingering about the Internets for some time, and who knows — maybe I even posted about it already. But …

RACHEL ZOE PHOTOCAP: Oh. My. God. Rachel Zoe Is Back. Literally. LITERALLY. She is LITERALLY Back.

LITERALLY it’s that time of year again. LITERALLY. The Rachel Zoe Project is back, which means that for the next several weeks, I get the distinct pleasure of talking in Zoe-isms on this here blog. It’s kind of my favorite thing to do. The truth is that RZP is still one of the most — …

SHILL TOWN: Cafepress ‘Mad Men’ Gear

When Cafepress offered to send me a complimentary Mad Men t-shirt in return for a review of their product, I was more than happy to jump at the opportunity. Of course, anyone offering me free stuff usually gets my attention. Nevertheless, I was able to select one of many designs at the Cafepress Mad Men …

The Wide Range Of Emotions That Is ‘The Bachelorette’ Finale

I don’t watch The Bachelorette. Nor do I watch The Bachelor. In fact, I kind of hate both shows. However, last night my friend Jenny came knocking on my door in dire straits: her Bachelorette viewing party had imploded, and now she desperately needed somewhere to watch the finale. Being the friendly and welcoming person …

REAL HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: Kim G Takes A Stand

Oh the joy of Kim G. The unofficial sixth (or rather, fifth) housewife from The Real Housewives of New Jersey had a gloriously daffy blowout with Danielle that proved to be every bit as chaotic and awesome as we could have expected. The trouble began when Danielle asked her to help find her biological mother. …
