Celebrity Apprentice continues to be the single best reality show on TV right now. Even though last night’s boardroom was a bit of a bust, the episode was thoroughly entertaining, with rifts and simmering tensions brewing in every corner. The challenge was simple. Actually, scratch that: it was rather murky. The teams had to outfit RVs with materials from Camping World, a company that specializes in camping (but not worlds). I wasn’t clear if the intent was to promote the RVs or the purchased items, and I wasn’t totally clear if the RVs were even something available for purchase from Camping World. Nevertheless, I knew that the teams had to ultimately impress the company’s CEO, and that’s all that really mattered. Continue reading “CELEBRITY APPRENTICE PHOTOCAP: Camping Is In-Tents!”

In an effort to promote further activity on the site and community building and all that fun stuff, I’ve decided to introduce a Comment of the Week feature that will highlight some of the best and funniest contributions by you, my dear readers. Whoever is selected will have his or her quote featured on the sidebar for a whole week (oooooh!!) and will thus be able to use those bragging rights in whatever manner seems appropriate.
This week’s choice:
“London & Capri? Did Peggy name her kids for the places they were conceived? Meet my kids – Coffee table and Kitchen counter.” — Honeybunny on REAL HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: New Faces, Old Drama

ADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: This Sandwich Actually Works
Back in junior year of high school, my friend Nicole once brought a most bizarre sandwich into History class. It was some concoction her mom had made, and it was so bizarre that I just had to take a bite. Much to my surprise (and to Nicole’s), the sandwich was actually really, really good. For years it had stuck with me, and recently I decided that I had to try it out once more. After all, sometimes you get to an age, and you wonder if that fond memory is really as reliable as you think. Could my mind have been playing tricks on me? Was this sandwich actually any good?
Well, fifteen years later, it was time to give Nicole’s sandwich a whirl. I don’t know why I hadn’t already. I think it was a case of me never having all the main ingredients at the same time. And just what was in this sandwich? You’ll have to read to find out… Continue reading “ADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: This Sandwich Actually Works”
‘The Fabulous Beekman Boys’ (NOT Brothers) Are Back
Like farming? Like gays? Like gays farming? Well, this show is for you. When World of Wonder sent me this video for the upcoming second season of The Fabulous Beekman Boys, I was skeptical. But then there was a fussy llama. And then there was a guy crying over his goats (some of whose names are Doreen and Sparkle). Chuckles ensued.
Check out this preview of the Planet Green show, which is apparently already ramping up for a second season. Who knew?
QUICK HIT: Food + Lab
Headed to Food + Lab for lunch in Silver Lake? You might find yourself torn between two different sandwiches. Let me help sway your opinion: Continue reading “QUICK HIT: Food + Lab”
Fashion Week Arrives at Eden
It’s Fashion Week here in LA, and last night I decided to drop by Michael Utsinger’s Fashion Week party at local hot spot Eden. I grabbed my friend Ashleigh, who just started her own nifty blog, and the two of us happily tromped off to Hollywood to check out the scene. A few random pics after the jump… Continue reading “Fashion Week Arrives at Eden”
REAL HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: Babes, Pig In The City
Good morning! I say good morning because chances are you just woke up from the coma that Real Housewives of Miami may have put you in last night. The buzz on the show is bad — possibly worse than DC — and while I think it’s not AS bad as people say, last night’s episode did nothing to dissuade the naysayers. Nothing really happened in the episode. Marysol got engaged, but that whole romance between her and her Frenchman felt a bit fake. Are we really to believe they’re dating? And furthermore that they’re going to elope in Aspen? The only positive to come from that storyline was yet another extended scene with Elsa, whose giant puppet-head seemed even more grotesque as she sat in Marysol’s living room watching her try on wedding dresses. Elsa is truly a riot, and while she does look like she belongs in Pan’s Labyrinth — or better yet, Labyrinth — I wouldn’t have her change a single thing. Listening to her roll her r’s as she talked about Marysol rrrrrolling down a mountain was a pure delight. Unfortunately, whatever goodwill Elsa had brought us was totally vanquished by a never-ending scene between Marysol and her man in Aspen. I couldn’t believe the producers would wrap up the episode on such a boring, irritating note. No one cares about these two, nor do they care if Marysol has butterflies in her stomach over this wedding. In fact, never has anyone cared about any wedding on any Housewives episode. We only want to see dinner parties going down in flames. Happy occasions? BORING. Continue reading “REAL HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: Babes, Pig In The City”

REAL HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: New Faces, Old Drama
We had a fresh new face on Sunday’s Real Housewives of Orange County, and no, I’m not talking about the annual “renewal” these women go through. We actually had a real new face in the form (and I use that word as grotesquely as possible) of Peggy Tanous. She’s the new blondie on the block, and here’s what we know about her: she loves shooting guns; she loves dressing like a discarded White Snake groupie; and she loves one-upping Alexis — and for that alone, she earns major points. So far she hasn’t done anything too remarkably awful or offensive, but the season is young, and it doesn’t take long for fresh faces to dirty up.
