Top Chef: New York (Season Premiere)

(Season 5, Episode 1)
"Top Chef: New York" kicked off with a bang (and a few bloody fingers) last night. It’s fun to see the show set in NYC, where there’s such a huge assortment of food everywhere in the city. The first elimination challenge had the teams visiting ethnic neighborhoods to shop for food […]

"Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style" - Eliza

(Season 2, Episode 6)
This week on "Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style," Tim and Gretta worked with a young musician, Eliza, who started out in ripped t-shirts (yes, she actually ripped all her t-shirts on purpose), ripped and too-tight jeans, and wacky hats.
While her music career is on the way up, I didn’t feel […]

"Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style" - Caroline

(Season 2, Episode 4)
Last week on "Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style," Tim and Gretta helped a young realtor named Caroline ditch her shapeless suits and dowdy dresses for fresh, hip clothing that showed off her youth and fab figure. And like Tim said, appearances are so important, especially when you’re climbing that career ladder. […]

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" - Who’s Your Poppa?

(Season 1, Episode 3)

This Week on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta"

Talk about mass consumerism! I couldn’t believe it last week on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," when Kim threw a birthday party for her 11-year-old daughter, Brielle, and it cost $18,000. Yes, $18,000!!! Doesn’t she know the country is in an economic spiral?
And to top it off, Brielle is a spoiled brat. I’m […]
