pop

While the last few weeks have been a little Pop Culture-light, this week was chalk-full of interesting occurrences in the lifestyles of the rich and famous.   Let's begin with, clearly, the most important topic of the week...People's Sexiest Man Alive. While I don't know if I can completely get on board with this decision, it is … [Read more...]

So these past 11 days I have been without power..which I am sure you are all sick of hearing about it. But I will tell you when you don't have power it's kind of the ONLY thing you want to talk about...   So anyway...I've barely made it through this past week and a half. Pretty much the only that has kept me sane is drinking … [Read more...]

This Week in Pop Culture | That's What We Said

Once again, things were a little slow this week on the celebrity gossip front.   Isn't someone due a meltdown or break up like...any day now??   Sorry -- at 38 weeks pregnant, I just ooze wishes of misery on everyone I come into contact with.  Celebrities seem like a harmless target.   Despite the slow week, a few … [Read more...]

Happy Monday, chickies!!   Another week, another Whatta Man.   Last week, Pacey beat Dawson by a landslide.  Can't say I'm surprised...Dawson was always a bit too "thinkey" for my taste.  Now if only we could get Pacey and Joey together in real life...all would be right with the world.   This week, I'm switching … [Read more...]

  Not much happening in the Pop Culture World this week -- which is unfortunate, considering we could ALL use some distraction from Sandy right about now.   Shelly is currently without power, or internet, but safe and her home is intact, for which I am very thankful.  Please know that we are thinking about all of you who … [Read more...]

So my streak of picking the losing guy is still going strong... Last week Jamie Oliver lost to Bobby Flay in the Chef Edition...although I might say the photos were skewed to a Bobby victory...*ahem, Kristan.... BUT the voting did get totally wrecked with the number of Tyler Florence nominations...really ladies?? Tyler Florence???  I really … [Read more...]
