Entertainment hourly.
Ah, Thanksgiving, a time to get together with family and friends, eat entirely too much food, and dredge up drama that manages to stay dormant most of the year. Although I'm not facing any major family stress right now, I can still predict a handful of annoyances that will flare up among the group gathering for my Thanksgiving Day feast. Strong emotions are bound to come up when family gets Read more
Our current bachelor, Jason Mesnick, got down to business last night when he traveled to the hometowns of the four remaining contestants to meet their families. As we all know, meeting someone's parents has the ability to explain a lot — we sure got some great insight last night! But I couldn't help but feel differently about Melissa once I learned that her parents were not willing to support Read more
Last night's episode of The City proved to be as dramatic as ever, and in true reality fashion, everyone was intertwined in each other's business. The jury is still out as to whether or not Adam cheated on Allie, and while Whitney and Jay have nothing to do with it, their differing views are starting to affect their relationship. Of course, being there for your friends is important, but holding Read more
The Hills has wrapped for the season, but not to worry, we now have The City! With a new cast of characters comes a slew of new drama — the good, the bad, and I'm sure, the ugly. If you tuned in last night, you know that Whitney moved to the big apple for a new career and a new man, but it seems like her new love interest has already caused his fair share of turmoil within the group. As we Read more
Dear Sugar, My husband and I are hosting Christmas dinner this year, but I'm feeling very uncomfortable for the following reason. This past year, the relationship between my six siblings and mother has become very fractured for a number of reasons, but mostly because my mom and eldest sister create too much toxic drama. Some of the siblings are fed up, and don't want to come to Christmas unless Read more
I didn't think Spencer had it in him to swallow his pride, admit his wrongdoings, and put someone else first. But last night on The Hills, he proved me wrong! Though he didn't get very far in trying to get Heidi her job back, I was glad to see him go to her rescue. I'm not an advocate of confrontation, but I think it'd be pretty hot to have a boyfriend stand up for me, whatever the situation. Read more
As I'm sure you might know, The Hills season four is premiering tonight, and you don't need to guess where I'll be at 10 p.m.! I know the characters didn't have much of a say in the naming of their show, but The Hills just doesn't seem appropriate anymore. Since their 30 minutes of air time is filled with a plethora of drama, don't you think they deserve a more theatrical title? For the sake of Read more
Life is filled with ups and downs, but do you ever feel like certain people are just constantly surrounded by drama? They're either involved in unnecessary theatrics or they have continuous bad luck. And while I understand that a small dose of occasional drama can be somewhat entertaining, I'd rather avoid it if at all possible. Taking the fact that we all have our moments into consideration, Read more
Since we spend most of our time at work, it's inevitable that our co-workers become more than that; they become our friends, our confidants, and our sounding boards. And since having gripes about our loved ones, dealing with family drama, or even financial woes is just a part of life, it's close to impossible to leave those worries at home. I've always been the type to wear my emotions on my Read more
Is the TV sitcom dying? USA Today printed an interesting story recently pointing out that there are only half as many half-hour sitcoms on TV today as there were five years ago. I know I've certainly turned more to dramas and hour-long "dramedies" such as "Ugly Betty" than to the traditional half-hour sitcom. All of this makes me wonder: When you turn on the TV, would you rather watch a sitcom or Read more
