TOP CHEF MASTERS PHOTOCAP: A Starry, Starry Night!

I finally caught the premiere episode of Top Chef Masters last night, and I actually liked it way more than I thought I would. I feared that it would dilute the brand — and the lack of Tom or Padma or Gail (not to be confused with Gael) — would cheapen the experience, but no, it …

ADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: Sticky Short Ribs, Celery Root Purée, and Chocolate Tofu Pudding Edition

It’s been a while since I’ve done an Adventure in Domesticity, but I figured that with the debut of The Next Food Network Star last night (starring one of my all-time favorite reality show judges, Susie Fogelson), I owed it to myself and the Food Network to whip up a meal based almost exclusively on …

Good News / Bad News For Queen Elizabeth

Enjoy playing Wii… whilst NOT at the D-Day ceremony! The good news for Queen Elizabeth: she’s getting a gold-plated “Royal Wii” with which she can enjoy the sublime pleasures of Boom Blox or Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz whilst on holiday at Balmoral. The bad news: bitch got snubbed by Nicky Sarks. That’s right, France’s …

The Real Housewives Head Into Space!

Earlier this month, NASA commenced the final servicing for the Hubble Telescope, and while the photos of the mission are fascinating, I felt they could use some added pizzazz. What better way to spice up some boring space shots than by adding some nouveau riche women into the mix? After the jump, I present you …

HOUSEWIVES RECAP: More Reunion, More Bickering, More Amazingness

I really didn’t think The Real Housewives of New York City could top Tuesday’s tumultuous hour of reunion fighting, but last night, they proved me wrong. Thursday was Kelly’s time to truly shine, and what we got was nothing but a stream of incoherent ramblings from the model/socializer/owl enthusiast. The woman literally made no sense, …

VIDEO: Danny Gokey Forgets Lyrics At Hometown Concert, Epic Fail Ensues

So Danny Gokey went back to Milwaukee this weekend, and a funny thing happened at his hometown concert: his lyrics blew away in the wind. Yes, just as he was starting up a rendition of the classic Michael Jackson tune “Billie Jean,” his crib sheet flittered off in the wind, perhaps the result of not-so-divine …

I Survived A Japanese Zombie Show

You know what’s great? When parents SCARE THE HELL out of their children. Always commendable activity (sarcasm). Nevertheless, check out this bizarre yet humorous clip from some Japanese TV show where two parents — as well as many, many neighbors — convince two super cute little kids that they’re ABOUT TO DIE (from a zombie attack, natch). …

IDOL RECAP: Rock Week, Or The Night Danny Gokey Broke Every Glass In My Apartment

So it was rock week on American Idol last night, and I for one was excited. After having suffered through the dreary doldrums of the Rat Pack genre (not to mention Jamie Foxx’s curious ramblings), I was ready for some energetic, ballad-free music. And guess what? Overall, that’s pretty much what we got. Last night’s …
