VIDEO: How I Met The Real Housewives of New York and Other Banter

Last week I teased y’all with a story about having met four of the Real Housewives of New York City, and yesterday I explained the full story in all its goofy glory. In case you missed it, I gabbed about it and other Housewives-related issues on my videocast, titled “Off Script” (name soon to change …

REAL HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: The Squeals On The Bus Go Round and Round

Whoever contrived the idea of sticking Kim Zolciak and Kandi Burruss on a tour bus together is a genius. This goofy, silly, and highly improbably story line, which has now extended over two episodes, has been nothing but a hilarious trainwreck (which is ironic since they’re on a bus, I suppose). It all comes down …

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 …

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA PHOTOCAP: Kim Zolciak Defies Death By Laser

Things were a little bonkers on The Real Housewives of Atlanta last night. First and foremost we had Kim Zolciak, who continues to be the laziest woman alive… and proud of it. I don’t know if that’s a virtue or a flaw, but I’m leaning towards the latter. In this latest installment of KimberLEIGH’s reasons …

REAL HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: Atlanta’s Got Talent

Usually we only get one episode per season of Kim Zolciak trying to sing, but thankfully, we got a bonus dose of her “instrument” this week on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Kim reunited with her vocal coach from season one, Jan, and attempted to take on her newest single, “The Ring Didn’t Mean A …

REAL HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: Doctored Situations

Last night’s episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta was all about medical intrigue. On the one hand, we had Phaedra finally giving birth to her oversized preemie (a.k.a her full term baby), and on the other hand, we had Dr. Tiy-E Muhammad explaining the merits of his alleged doctor title. Needless to say, both …

REAL HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: Dancing With The Divorcées

After last week’s near Sherayay-free episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, I’m proud to report that our favorite divorcée was back front and center on last night’s show. A local charity fundraiser had called upon Ms. Whitfield to perform in an event called “Dancing Stars of Atlanta,” which afforded the budding thespian a chance …

REAL HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: The Ring Didn’t Mean A Thing

There are some annual traditions that we Americans love: July 4th, Thanksgiving, Arbor Day. Add to that list Bravo’s yearly airing of Kim Zolciak trying to sing a song. Yes, Kim has become the McRib of Bravo — a special treat we’re allowed to enjoy but once a year even though we probably shouldn’t partake …

Ep. 11: Banter With Ben and Lisa

Hey everyone, Lisa and I are back with yet another podcast, and once again we went mobile to Starbucks so we could people watch AND banter at the same time! On this episode, we talk about the joys of Halloween as well as The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and The Real Housewives of Atlanta. …

Kandi Burruss and Cynthia Bailey Dish About Housewives, Sex, and Kim’s Singing Career

Earlier today, I got a chance to participate in a conference call with Kandi Burruss and Cynthia Bailey from The Real Housewives of Atlanta. The two answered questions from me and other media outlets about a wide variety of subjects — some more interesting than others — all in an effort to promote the show’s …
