The Kardashian Sisters

It seems that every few years a new star is born, and another Hollywood socialite is becoming a supernova. Pop culture staples such as Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton have inspired countless rumor blogs and fan clubs around the world. Many great historians are baffled by their meteoric rise from unknown white heiresses who’s best talent was drinking heavily, to becoming a part of most American’s everyday lexicon.  In light of this, I sat down and tried to crack the code; to devise a method by which anyone and everyone can become famous for being famous, no matter how talentless you may be. more…

In the land of Bravo’s Real Housewives franchise, our opinions of its players can change wildly with each season — Camille’s gone from desperate trophy wife to fun-to-be-around divorcee; Kyle’s unwittingly revealed her insecure side after seeming like the ultimate in confidence; Kim’s evaded the label of alcoholic since sharing that a host of barbiturates is to blame for her loopy affect — and that’s just the Beverly Hills cast.

It’s been nearly a decade since ABC’s mega hit, The Bachelor, hit TVs across the nation, and as the network prepares to launch its 16^th season in January, the romance-based reality trip shows no immediate signs of slowing. Having changed very little since its 2002 entry into pop lexicon, it’s obvious that despite the absurdity of its premise, producers have zeroed in on something key to sustaining viewer interest – but what? more…

One Of These Girls Just Doesn't Belong

Wednesday marked the season finale of America’s Next Top Model All Stars, Tyra’s last ditch effort to inject life back into the fledgling modeling competition.

As predicted, Lisa and Allison were two of the final 3, with Lisa the ultimate winner — but to the bewilderment of many, Dominique wasn’t the third. more…

Real Housewives of Atlanta, Season 4

Following a dismally boring third season, The Real Housewives of Atlanta returned to Bravo this week, bearing with it the mild suggestion that in its fourth go-round, things’ll get better.

But drama mongers will have to be patient about getting their feisty fix, as the season premiere is inevitably focused on establishing what the women have been up to since viewers last saw them. So what of it, you ask?

America's Next Top Model, All Star Edition

Following a disappointing series of initial installments, this week kicked off the 8^th episode of America’s Next Top Model All Stars – unarguably the most entertaining segment yet.

The rich and famous may claim to have it all, but when it comes down to it, none of these niceties matter unless there is someone to share them with. more…
