It turns out that they will be shooting a fourth season of Laguna Beach. Via Laguna Beach Hook-Up, this article also notes that MTV admits that its current incarnation is failing to live up to the past seasons that cemented this “scripted reality” phenomenon.
I became enamored with Laguna earlier this year. The production values floored [...]
I don’t subscribe to the belief that Halloween gives you the de facto right to act any differently than you normally would. Isn’t it worse when those around you discover that such behavior was pent up, just waiting for a “socially acceptable” situation to be let out?

I am not afraid to admit that I have a cupcake fetish, or at the very least am in the midst of a cupcake phase.

Although I’ve dabbled in baking here and there, my experience creating appetizers and entrées have been limited. That’s why I’m always on the lookout for fast and easy recipes, particularly from my favorite TV chefs. Yesterday, I decided to replicate a frittata recipe I saw on an episode of Giada De Laurentiis’ Everyday Italian. Below [...]
