RuPaul’s Drag Race: Can season 4 top The Heathers?
RuPaul’s Drag Race season four has begun! I wasn’t sure any season could top season three with Raja and The Heathers, but with talk of zombies, and a futuristic apocalypse, the first episode got my attention. I’m pretty sure when the apocalypse does occur, drag queens will be the last ones standing, looking fierce atop the wreckage in their seven inch glitter platforms. As the new queens made their way in the “Werk Room” I … Read entire article »

Top Model’s torture twist
Cycle 16 of America’s Next Top Model premiered this week and it is not fierce anymore, it’s just mean. This year Tyra the Torturer has thought of all sorts of new Mean Girls things to do to these already fragile girls. In the opening segment, Banks basically reveals she is just as tired of this show as we are.

RuPaul’s Drag Race revs up again
It seems like ages ago, since the last season of RuPaul’s Drag Race and I was more than anxious for the show to return. Logo did it right with letting Ru have a full three hours to get us all back into our boas, tiaras, and glittered heels. They kicked it off with the “Casting Extravaganza”, which showed many of the aspiring divas who didn’t make the cut. Some were probably contenders, but others had … Read entire article »

Young dudes compete for The Cougar
TV Land’s new series The Cougar is more along the lines of “classy” reality dating shows like The Bachelor or, most recently, Mama’s Boys instead of deliciously trashy VH1 Rock of Love-style trainwrecks. The show, hosted by Vivica Fox, follows Stacey Anderson, a self-proclaimed “cougar” who is looking to find love with a younger man. … Read entire article »

D-listers unite for ‘The Celebrity Apprentice’ on NBC
The Celebrity Apprentice made its debut last night on NBC. In the first episode, Donald Trump introduced the cast of famous faces playing for various charities. Among them were Gene Simmons from KISS, boxing champ Lennox Lewis, Taxi‘s Marilu Henner, Vincent Pastore from The Sopranos, Olympic gold medalists and Nadia Comanici and Jennie Finch, former supermodel Carol Alt, country singer Trace Adkins, Ultimate Fighting champion (and Jenna Jameson paramour) Tito Ortiz, former Telemundo exec Nely Galan, Stephen Baldwin, and lesser-known “stars” like Playboy Playmate Tiffany Fallon, and America’s Got Talent judge Piers Morgan AKA the poor man’s Simon Cowell. The biggest shock of the season thus far was the return ego-maniac and perpetual d-lister Omarosa from the first season of The Apprentice. I must admit that, when I saw Omarosa would … Read entire article »
