Soak in All of Charlie Sheen’s Craziness

The epic celebrity crazy-time meltdown is a beautiful thing to behold, and thankfully Charlie Sheen has been doing more than his fair share to keep us entertained for the past several weeks and months. Today, he took his game to a new level, appearing on both Today and Good Morning America to spout craziness about …

Currywurst Arrives In Los Angeles!

When I went to Germany three and a half years ago with my friends jash and m_ruv, I returned with an undying love for currywurst, a local street food in Berlin that combines sausage and curried ketchup. Some vendors sell it with bratwurst, others with bockwurst, and quite frankly there are many heated arguments (according …

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS PHOTOCAP: Where Have All The Cowboys Gone?

There wasn’t a lot of drama on the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but there certainly was poignancy, thanks to the sad, decrepit state of Taylor’s marriage to alleged cowboy Russell. These two barely seem to be connecting, and when she dragged her limp noodle of a husband to Kyle’s apparently …

ADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: Banana Crunch Muffins Edition

Well, it’s January 3rd, and everyone is slowly getting back to real life after a heady December full of parties, wassail, and poor food choices.

THE QUAFF: Dark & Stormy Edition

On the occasion of my 32nd birthday last weekend, my crew and I (née The Lametourage, since renamed The VC — as in, The Vicious Circle) decided to take in a viewing of the latest Twilight movie (a.k.a. laugh at the screen). There’s absolutely no way to slog through the vampire saga sober; so clearly, …

THE QUAFF: Saffron Margarita Edition

It’s time for more cocktail craziness, and this one comes replete with broken glass and DANGER. Such is the way of The Quaff. Back a few weeks ago, IndianJones was in town (when isn’t he in town? He has no friends), and so he, jash, and I all decided to make drinks. Once again we …

Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About The Salahis But Were Too Afraid To Ask

Many are considering Michaele and Tareq Salahi the Speidi of Bravo, and with good reason. The shifty couple, who are prominently featured on The Real Housewives of DC, are embroiled in so many scandals, lawsuits, and lies that it’s hard to imagine them as anything more than two fame seekers who will do anything for …

Ep. 09: Banter with Ben and Lisa

Hey all. Lisa and I are back with another wonderful podcast, and on this episode of Banter with Ben and Lisa, we cover a wild variety of topics, including 30 Rock, Top Chef: Just Desserts, and Modern Family. We also take on a variety of non-TV related subjects, such as bears, whales, my dark theatrical …

Of Tag Controversies and Chinese Walmarts

IndianJones, quietly awaiting recognition. About forty-five minutes ago, I posted an item about Chinese Walmarts that had been sent to me by my true friend Neil. No sooner had I posted it than my other friend IndianJones popped up to remind me that the link was in fact “OLD NEWS” on account of it apparently …
