As much as I alternately love and loathe new reality shows, I didn't want to get into MTV's The Paper. But after one episode, I was powerless — not only is the show itself well-produced, edited, and so entertaining, I can't help but empathize with the newspaper geeks because I was one in high school too!

MTV is filming eight episodes, and lest you non-nerdy types wonder how there will possibly be enough drama to Read more
The mood of the Grammy awards was a bit somber this year in the wake of Whitney Houston's shocking death, but the show went on, and the statues were all handed out to the winners. Adele owned the night, picking up multiple awards, including those for record of the year, album of the year, and song of the year. Plenty of other folks received Grammys too, including Kanye West, The Foo Fighters, Read more

We've always wanted to take a stab at rolling out a few Natchitoches meat pies. Thanks to an easy recipe from Food Orleans, this might be a dream realized sooner rather than later. [Baked or fried? You decide.] Natchitoches meat pies are one of those special little treats with a name as fun to say as they are to scarf down. Nackadish — that's how you say it — is a small town we drive through Read more
