Can You Stand the Heat in the ‘Top Chef’ Kitchen?
Upping the stakes
This week’s “Top Chef: Las Vegas” really increased the intensity — and I, for one, ate it up. The five remaining chefs were clearly the best, the cream of the crop. Still, I thought the judges made the right decision at elimination time. Even though I was not [...]
‘Project Runway’ Season Six Finale Leaves Me Stumped
Who won ‘Project Runway’?
Once again, “Project Runway” has managed to remind me that I know absolutely nothing about fashion. Either that or the people who get to decide what is good fashion are crazy. Irina, who did show she was a very good designer throughout the season, was the “Project [...]

3 Reasons ‘Top Model’ Winner Nicole Fox Didn’t Deserve It
Top Model winner choice astounding
I am not here to trash talk the “America’s Next Top Model” winner. (OK, maybe a little.) I am happy for her, and I wish her the best. However, I believe that the other finalist, Laura Kirkpatrick, was more deserving of the win.
I’d like to present [...]

Movie Reviews: ‘Pirate Radio’ Versus ‘Fantastic Mr. Fox’

On Larry King, Carrie Prejean Video Shows Her Character
First Amendment reminder
Carrie Prejean, who is famous for several semi-scandalous things I’ll list off later, appeared on “Larry King Live” last night. During the brief interview, she showed the world that she is a naive, condescending prima donna. Of course, I could be just another member of the “liberal media” [...]

Why is ‘Brothers’ the Movie so Highly Anticipated?
Watch ‘Brothers’ movie trailer
Maybe it’s the mixture of themes such as war, family, love, death and infidelity. Maybe it’s the tear-jerking “Brothers” movie trailer. However, I am willing to bet it’s the cast: Natalie Portman, Jake Gyllenhaal and Tobey Maguire top the list of actors in “Brothers.” Put together the [...]
