Summer’s caught up with us—and we know, we complain about it every week, but the aggregate effect of sweating this much packs a more crippling punch than Wendi Murdoch! We find ourselves regressing to childhood: leaning hard on the chocolate-frozen yogurt handle at 16 Handles, wearing Read More
It wasn’t quite as gorgeously epic as a certain all-day hearing earlier this year, but Ted Danson’s visit to the Senate today was very memorable nonetheless. He was there at 3:15 to see the United States Senate Committee on Finance’s Subcommittee on International Trade, Customs and Global Competitiveness, where the actor and marine conservationist Read More
Maybe we’re being a bit finicky, but we have a problem with critics around the interwebs hailing 2009 as one of the strongest years for television in recent memory.

We’ve already looked at the Supporting Actresses. Now it’s Read More
Hey, we think HBO might be getting back on track! Our colleague at the Culture Czar recommends True Blood, the new show from Alan Ball, but we’re actually more psyched about Bored to Death.
