Did You See The Tudors?

The highly anticipated second season of The Tudors premiered tonight. I was too busy fawning over John Adams, but I’m sure I’ll read about it tomorrow.
This may not be news to some of you, because the episode made its debut YouTube last week. The crazy monarchy sex parts were taken out but the gist was [...]

The Bun Is Out Of The Oven

Food Network Star Giada De Laurentiis had a baby yesterday! I wish she named the baby Prosciutto instead of Jade. She totally gets a kick out of over enunciating Italian cheeses and meats.
Congrats Giada!

Out of Town

Just in case the five of you were wondering where I was, fear not. I am out of town for the weekend and probably won’t be able to post until I get home on Sunday. I have so much to write about though and I can’t wait to get back into the swing of things.
Until [...]

Hump Day Update

I love TV, but a few things drove me a little nuts today about my favorite medium.

I’m watching Top Chef and while it’s nothing new, those little “coming up on Top Chef” clips are starting to drive me nuts. Trust that I will stay to watch and just go to the commercials. I don’t need [...]

Slater Wrote A Book?!

Not Slater so much as Mario Lopez. Everyone’s favorite game show host and resident Bayside stud recently co-authored a guidebook to sculpting the perfect body.
There’s no denying Mario has a great body, and he is the last of the Saved By The Bell set actually doing something. (No, I refuse to count Elizabeth Berkley, new [...]

Putting My Money Where My Mouth Is…Instead of Food.

I didn’t want to watch I Can Make You Thin. I was hesitant to give my time to a show that looked like hokum. But tonight it came on and I couldn’t find the remote. The show’s exuberant host, Paul McKenna, sucked me in with his charm and dapper accent. What the hell, I could [...]

Hoppy Easter

My family isn’t very religious but we take part in the food and commercialism aspects of the big Christian holidays. Easter is one of my favorites because it’s all the food fun of Thanksgiving with better weather.
Anyway, Easter is also all about TV. (Though some may beg to differ.) Here are some of my favorite [...]

Entertainment Weekly posted this handy guide to what’s coming up on your favorite shows.
I’d forgotten how many TV shows I was following pre-strike until I looked at the guide and realized I was involved in the first seven or eight programs.
It’s going to be a busy spring.

Things I Almost Forgot About: Rock N Jock

I’m watching the Badger game right now. Basketball is kind of hard to watch but it gets a little easier if your team is winning. I digress.
I’m watching the game with my buddy Joe. He’s a red-blooded American twenty-something whose never heard of Rock-N-Jock sports, a mainstay on MTV in the 1990s. I was [...]

Barking Bling

Zoe, beloved dog of fashion mogul and Life In The Fab Lane star Kimora Lee Simmons, died recently. It’s awful to lose a pet but Kimora is turning lemons into lemonade…or rather diamonds.
She told People magazine:
“There is a company that makes diamonds out of your loved ones,” she said. “[They] make diamonds from a little [...]

Martha Hits 500

Apparently Martha Stewart celebrated the 500th episode of her talk show today.
I actually caught an episode of Martha this week, (Spring Break makes you do crazy things), and it wasn’t half bad. Martha still seemed up tight and judgmental while making paper orchids with Lucy Liu. Then she made stuffed grape leaves and lined [...]
