Baby and Bump Obsession Kerry is Pregnant, but not “carrying” I’m very late to Scandal. I started it this season after watching an hour-long recap. It’s pulpy, entertaining, ridiculous and one of the few shows I actually care to watch in real time. This is largely because of Kerry Washington. She’s an excellent actress and a By Maria • Oct 30, 2013 02:37 pm
Music A Scrub is Guy Who Thinks He’s Fly We all have our flavour of celebrity couple nostalgia: Johnny and Kate, Johnny and Winona, Brad and Gwyneth, JLo and Ben. One of my all-time favourites: Usher and Chilli. What? It’s the perfect combination of pop music, drama, and music videos. I have always loved TLC and judging By Maria • Oct 22, 2013 01:31 pm

Breaking Bad Breaking Bad, one last time Breaking Bad Season 5 Episode 16 recap series finale I was stuck at the airport yesterday, and as I stressed about missing Breaking Bad, most of my thoughts were on Walt’s take on chemistry – the study of change.

Dumbass Katherine Heigl is going to be great! Last week, The Hollywood Reporter posted a thorough (if not-so-surprising) piece on the antics of Katherine Heigl and her momager, Nancy. Click here a refresher. Difficult, abrasive, and her own worst enemy – that pretty much sums up Katherine’s reputation. And worst of all, not bankable. It’s By Maria • Sep 16, 2013 10:18 am

Baby and Bump Obsession Alec plays nice with PEOPLE I feel like Kanye West and Alec Baldwin are celebrity best friends. They seem to have a similar attitude when it comes to attention: “Take my picture and I’ll freak but please for the love of God take my picture.” While Kanye complains about fame and has a baby By Maria • Sep 05, 2013 11:30 am
