MTV needs a stern talking to. Rumors surfaced today that The City MAY BE CANCELLED. This is an outright horrific decision. The City is not only a fantastic show, but I’d wager to say that it’s the best series on MTV. Heck, I’d go so far to say that it has emerged as one of …

B-Side Blog Reader Encounters Kelly Cutrone, Experiences Brutal Honesty
Last week, I received a Tweet from B-Side Blog reader Aiii (not to be confused with Real World: Cancun’s Ayiiia), who had fantastic news to share. She had just gone to a book signing for none other than pop culture’s preeminent power bitch, Kelly Cutrone. Clearly this was a very exciting and important development; so …

TOP CHEF PHOTOCAP: Getting Schooled
I’m happy to report that this season of Top Chef has so far been significantly more entertaining in two episodes than all of the Las Vegas edition. The “characters” are more colorful, the interactions a bit more spicy, and the talent level more even. I am most encouraged at this early stage. Last night’s episode …
THE CITY PHOTOCAP: Trash At Its Best
Last night’s episode of The City was both fascinating for its insight into the fashion world (that’s right, I used the word “insight” in regards to an MTV show) and simultaneously a near parody of the world itself. On the one hand, we had Whitney struggling to get her fashion line into boutiques and stores …
HILLS PHOTOCAP: Audrina’s Lazy Susan of Douchebags Brings Justin Bobby Back Into The Fold
I’m loving The Hills these days. Kristin’s bitchy demeanor has come into its own (much as it did on her second season of Laguna Beach), and the introduction of this Allie Lutz girl has been nothing but pure entertainment. It’s somewhat tragic that we seem to be limited to only one run-in per week between …
And Here Comes Another ‘Housewives’ Single
HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: Proud Mamas and Tricky Boobs
It’s always a little sad when the supporting characters are more fascinating than the leads, and that’s exactly what’s happened on The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Thanks to the colorful twits coming in and out of these people’s lives, we actually have something mildly entertaining to watch these days — starting with the two-headed …

TOP CHEF PHOTOCAP: Chef with a Capital C
Top Chef returned last week, and already, I’m optimistic for this season. Gone are all the tattooed chefs with their pompous sneers and ridiculous attempts at being badasses. Now we have a more likable group of personalities, even if a few jerks have emerged from the pack (ie. Angelo). Even more encouraging is the sense …
REAL HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: Once Again, The Reunion As Told By Shot Glasses
Bravo aired part three of its explosive Real Housewives of New York City reunion, and it continued to be an unparalleled display of Kelly’s craziness. The woman literally doesn’t make sense. Sadly, I don’t have the time to go into it right now as I’m about to disappear off the grid for several hours. In …

THE CITY PHOTOCAP: Whitney Goes To Miami, Witnesses Incompetence
It seems like every season of The City features Whitney heading down to Miami for some silly adventure. First time around, she and Jay got all romantic in the sun. Second time around, she and Roxy rung up a giant hotel tab. And third time around was this week when Whit and Rox again flew …
