PHOTOS: B-Side Blog Tangles With Bravo Celebrities at Red Carpet Event

My head is about to explode. I just met way too many Bravo celebrities for my system to handle. Tonight, as we speak, Bravo is holding a party just down the street at the Roosevelt Hotel for its various stars and luminaries.

TOP CHEF PHOTOCAP: Conch Blocked

It’s getting down to the wire on Top Chef: All Stars, and I’m most dismayed to report that Mike Isabella has been coming on strong so far. How did this happen? Coming in to this week’s episode, he had already beaten out a Voltaggio in one challenge and taken home the big prize for another. …

TOP CHEF PHOTOCAP: This Show Is On FIRE!

Our five finalists on Top Chef: All-Stars headed down to the Bahamas Wednesday night for the first of several final challenges.

Again, we cover The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Atlanta; plus, we talk Survivor, Amazing Race, Top Chef, and then rank our top ten overlooked reality gems. The lists are actually …

CHECK IT OUT: More TV Banter!

About six weeks ago, I posted about a web show I’m hosting, and I’m happy to report that we finally taped a second episode last week. Joining me once again was Matt Whitfield, the Features editor for Yahoo! Entertainment, and just like last time, we spent a good amount of energy talking about The Real …

Check It Out: TV Banter!

Hey everyone. Cool news from the world of the Interwebs. I’m going to be hosting a videocast for Talk Media Networks where I talk about — you guessed it: TV! We’ve only done one show, and it’s all a bit rough around the edges, but that’s sort of the way online shows go. I’m sure …
