Because I know you all wait breathlessly to hear how we did on the trivia each week… we lost last night. By one stinking point! We did beat our hated rivals (the “Rebels Without a Clue” team), but it was harsh to be so close and miss it. See if you can get some of…

Australian Survivor News:Oh my god. THAT SUCKED. I can’t put it any other way. You would’ve thought that no one could mess up such a surefire concept, but they did.

So we decided not to participate in something…

Australian Survivor starts tomorrow!Tonight was the “Casting Special”, which showed clips from the 8500 audition tapes that were sent in. They had an entire section of people singing “I Will Survive” (a very common idea). Several people demonstrated their ability to eat gross things (including cow’s brains). There was a lot of animal wrestling. It…

Tara Lipinski is guest-starring on The Ice Dream tonight. She’s all grown up with alternative hair. She looks like some scary blonde Fairuza Balk.

Did you ever look for the star on a Tootsie Roll Wrapper? I was always told that if you found one, you could send it in for a prize (or make a wish on it or something). Turns out it’s just another urban legend.
