New blog post: Top Chef: Fire, Ice & Everything... →
When I put on the most recent episode of Top Chef, I was convinced it was the very last episode. But hey, it’s not. I guess we have to endure one more week of this season, huh? So we’re still in Canada and Sarah is still talking about Beverly. As the final three toast to being awesome, Sarah says that Beverly is gone - and this time, she can’t come back! Then she twirls her...

New blog post: Kim Kardashian Proves To Demi Moore... →
I was just thinking the other day that I haven’t made much use of my Kardashians Be Krazy tag lately, so boy was I pleased when Kim K went and acted like an idiot. It’s like it was a gift! For me! So, how was this monumental idiot idiotic this time? Well, in typical Hollywood feud fashion, this all started on Twitter..

New blog post: The Bachelor: Hometown Visits Bring... →
Oh yay! It’s time for the hometown visits on The Bachelor, the time when all the girls pretend that their home lives are perfect (unless someone died, because then they talk about death and loss the whole time because death is like, best way to bond on a date if you’re not skydiving) and parents pretend that it’s not weird to welcome a man into their home who is openly cheating...
James Spader Leaving "The Office" →
“James always wanted this to be a one year arc, and he now leaves us having created one of the most enigmatic and dynamic characters in television.”
Let’s not get crazy.

New blog post: The Best & Worst Moments Of The... →
I am one of those people who stops everything for the Oscars. I love awards season. I love the red carpet. I just love it, okay? But I have to admit, this year’s ceremony was a little lackluster. It had some nice moments, but as a host, Billy Crystal fell flat. It’s a bummer, because I used to love his intros. But this year? Not so much. This year had a lot of hits and misses....
Emma Stone is a national treasure.

She’s like a funny Anne Hathaway.

New blog post: Glee Tries (And Mostly Fails) To... →
The episode started off normal enough. Blah blah, regionals. Blah blah, Sebastian is a meany-pants. Blah blah, he tries to blackmail Rachel into backing out of the competition with an poorly photoshopped image of Finn’s weenie. Why this was even an issue, I don’t know. Insults were thrown, threats were made, Shelly was bored. Then hey, Sue is pregnant. Why? How? We don’t...

New blog post: The Project Runway All Stars Hit... →
Joanna Coles shows up, looking fabulous as ever. She meets with Austin and tells him that his fabric is hideous, but she knows he will make it fabulous. He’s like, “Uhh, yeah!” Next she meets with Kara, who plans on making a V-neck top with a maxi skirt. See, I was right! Totally boring. Joanna thinks it’s lacking creativity and ambition. It is, Kara. She is right....

New blog post: Oh, Did You Expect Cooking In The... →
Padma tells them that they will have to move fast and adapt to the elements. And their pantry? Well, it’s a bunch of food trapped in ice. They have to take ice picks and literally chip their food out. Because that always happens! It is an everyday occurance that chefs much chip their ingredients out of massive blocks of ice! In fact, it is so commonplace, I am surprised they are doing...

New blog post: The Bachelor: Ben Doesn't Take The... →
You know what I like about The Bachelor? Instead of beginning with “previouslies” like most shows, it gives you an extended preview of the night’s episode, showing you every important detail of what’s to come. I also like that they replay these clips before every commercial break. It’s like they believe their entire audience at home are so very stupid that they...

New blog post: Gossip Girl Talk: I Still Don't Get... →
In the past few episodes of Gossip Girl, we’ve finally gotten to know the actual Charlie Rhodes. After all that build up, I have to say I’m a little disappointed that none of my theories seemed to pan out. Oh well, at least I was right about one thing. But I still don’t understand this Charlie/Lola/Ivy situation. Like, at all…
Slate has a pretty great article about Chris Brown →
I know that awards are given out for artistic merit, not charming personality, and we can debate whether you can safely love the art and not the artist if you’re a fan of Brown’s music. But the decision to ask Brown to perform at music’s biggest event of the year is of a different sort. That’s a warm embrace from his industry and his community. You can’t shun someone you’re clapping for....

I have definitely been watching Project Runway All Stars, but I sure haven’t been posting anything about it. You know you’re a slacker when your therapist reminds you to do it. Oops. So hey, let’s have a quick recap, shall we? Poor Gordana got the boot for creating a lovely dress that was simply not fit for a pig. Then, the designers had to make clothes inspired by gelato...
Best quote from It's A Brad, Brad World this week
Brad’s boyfriend Gary: “It will be weird going to Fashion Week with Brad, because I’m used to being in control and this will be like a flip flop.”
Um.
