(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 […]

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 […]

I talked to Sara Ryan-Duffy today, the travel agent extraordinaire and head of SRD International whom "First Class All the Way" revolves around. Look for my interview with her later this week.

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.

You know, the thing about "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" is that if you stripped away all their "things," what would you have?
I would hope they’d have enough substance to be able to live in a cabin in the woods and not be so dependent on worldly goods. I mean, […]

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 […]

It’s getting down to the wire on Project Runway! Before the designers left for home, Heidi explained the challenge: design a wedding dress that reflects their personal aesthetic as well as their lines.
