Season 9’s Dancing With the Stars cast was announced this morning, and the list certainly has some names to watch.   Most interesting on the list is Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay. Really!?!   Other notable names are singers Macy Gray and Mya (the latter of whom I would tap as an early […]

Kevin: comedian of the week
 

Kevin was king of the diary room on tonight’s episode of Big Brother. While the good guys (Russell, Jeff and Jordan) celebrated as Michelle declared her allegiance to them (and plans to evict Chima), and the crazies (Lydia, Natalie and Chima) mourned Jessie’s departure (hands down the funniest thing I’ve seen on Big Brother since […]

My Newest Obsession: a cure for my stupider obsessions

If you are, like me, a low life who can think of no better way to occupy their summer than to watch hours and hours of mindless TV, may I recommend that you try and take in a little reality check each week. The Soup is the perfect foil to the hours of reality TV […]
