THERE'S A GODDAMN BUG IN MY THYME!!!

SOMEONE CALL THE CDC!!!! I did some grocery shopping at Fresh & Easy in Hollywood, and one of the things I purchased was some fresh thyme that I’d be using with dinner. Well, after I’d thrown four or five sprigs into the pot, I set about freezing the rest — an arduous process that would …

The Greatest Collection of Album Covers Ever?

A few weeks ago, I blogged about a creative Facebook meme that quickly took the internet by storm for forty-eight beautiful hours before flaming out in typical cyber fad fashion. I’m talking, of course, about the create-your-own-album-cover craze which had users combining random quotes, Wikipedia entries, and Flickr pics into one wonderful mashup of potential …

Turning a Blind Eye Towards Favoritism on 'Idol?'

Well, the final twelve semifinalists finally took the stage of American Idol last night, and the results were — like every week — mixed. Pretty much all the guys were okay at best (mostly forgettable though), but the girls were fairly strong. In fact, I’d be hard pressed to say who will actually move forward tonight. …

LIES ON THE CITY? A Tale Of Two Elles

Pics courtesy of Yes More Drama Anyone who saw last night’s scandal-riffic episode of The City witnessed Olivia brazenly take full credit for pulling the outfit that ultimately landed on the cover of Elle Magazine’s Spring fashion preview, despite the fact that it was our starlet, Whitney Port, who made the creative decision. Much drama …

So How About Those Housewives?

“I’m a deranged BITCH!” If anyone watched the Real Housewives of Orange County reunion — and I know most of you did — you surely witnessed some of the more embarrassing female behavior from women over 17 since, well, the last episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County. Yes, the claws were out as resident …

Another Great Facebook Meme!

Just last week, I wrote about a fun Facebook meme that parlayed search results on Google into hilarity for all. Laughter was had, tears were shed, and much tagging ensued. A few more memes have come and gone since then, and while they’ve been amusing, they’ve failed to reach the highs of that original “Google …

Chenbot Gets Immortalized

A study in Chenpressionism. Julie Chen turned up in quite the surprising location today: a New York Times article about self-commissioned celebrity portraits. Our favorite hostess and her husband, CBS bigwig Les Moonves, are profiled as some of the many people who’ve had artists recreate their visages for the sake of art. I won’t get …

THE PARSLEY CHRONICLES: Chapter 12 — The End

My friends, my friends. This is a sad day indeed. Today marks the official end of The Parsley Chronicles. That’s right: my beloved parsley — the plant that could never be — finally ceased showing any signs of life today. The Obama Sprout, once a beacon of hope and prosperity, shriveled up and died, leaving …

ADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: Some Seriously Domestic Bundt Cake Edition

Last week, while doing a random search for some random thing, I came across a blog called Fat Free Vegan Kitchen, which boasted an appealing recipe for chocolate orange Bundt cake. Now, when it comes to desserts, I’m not a huge fan of fat free offerings as they’re usually dry and flavorless, but the pictures …
