Bravo TV's Andy Cohen debunked rumors today that he needs space from his Real Housewives and that his gal pals are all invited to his L.A. book launch party on Monday. more ›

We have yet to force ourselves to sit and watch Ryan Seacrest's latest reality television venture, "Shahs of Sunset," but the few clips we've (unfortunately) caught of the cast members have made us want to sit them down and chat about the meaning of life. Apparently, WeHo would like to have a similar chat, only a bit more proactively. more ›

Taylor Armstrong had already left her husband Russell by the time he was found dead from suicide back in August of this year. But it turns out that what prompted her to leave wasn't his alleged physical and emotional abuse -- it was Bravo and NBC execs deciding to kick the couple off the show. more ›

After missing a week of recaps, we're back to bring you the latest with the ladies of Beverly Hills. Monday night's episode began where last week's left off, with Kim, Adrienne and Paul headed to Sacramento for what might be the King's last game in Sacramento. Adrienne was poised to boldly face the team's angry fans backed only by her personal bodyguard, the security team at the stadium, and the Sacramento police, who were on stand-by. more ›

Since the suicide of Russell Armstrong on August 15, Bravo has been answering questions about how it will proceed with the second season of "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," set to air tonight. The network announced on August 19 that they would re-edit the show, but didn't clarify whether footage of Russell, the estranged husband of cast member Taylor Armstrong, will stay in or not. more ›

Bye bye green screen. Buildings, trains, beaches, parks, streets, bridges, and dozens more down-home locations were made video-ready with the help of one prop and some bubbles. Jackie Tohn's sweetly simple (and accidentally filthy) song, "I Got It In Me" was given the heavy Los Angeles treatment by Phil Mucci who directed, shot, and edited by video. The Silver Lake songstress and Bravo Platinum Hit competitor spent about a month shlepping around LA to each of these locations. Can you figure out where they are? How many can you count? more ›

Salon owner, style maven, and semi finalist on Bravo's "Shear Genius," Janine Jarman is an interesting gal in an interesting place doing interesting things.

The attorney who now represents "Real Housewives of D.C."'s Michaele and Tareq Salahi is adamant that the pair are not "gate-crashers" saying that the term is "false and defamatory". On Wednesday Michaele Salahi got into a shouting match with Whoopi Goldberg after taping an appearance on "The View" during which Salahi said she was verbally and physically abused by co-hosts, which seems to be a fanciful/irrational interpretation of what happened if you watch the video footage. more ›

The November issue of Pasadena Magazine has a cover star who, until recently, was more of a behind the scenes kind of guy, despite the often cocky swagger and 'tude. It's Chef Michael Voltaggio, who took over Chef de Cuisine duties this summer for The Dining Room, the swanky old-school restaurant at the Langham that's been turned upside down by Voltaggio's cheeky and innovative style of cuisine. LAist was lucky enough to be invited to sample Voltaggio's fare just days before the current season of Top Chef debuted on Bravo; on the show you'll see Voltaggio battling it out for honors with none other than his big brother Bryan. more ›

There might be models of ships ensconced in the walls of the Langham's Dining Room restaurant that reflect a bygone era, but there's a young tattooed man on the cutting edge of cuisine in the kitchen. His name is Michael Voltaggio, and he arrived at the beautiful historic hotel in Pasadena just this July, following a year working as Executive Chef of The Bazaar by Jose Andres in Beverly Hills. Tonight, he'll be in your living room (or bedroom, perhaps)--no, he's not making house calls, he happens to be (along with his older brother, Bryan) a contestant on Bravo's 6th season of Top Chef. more ›

The Dining Room is the fine dining restaurant located within the The Langham, Huntington Hotel & Spa. Not only are they a great "special occasion" dinner destination, but they can boast something pretty unique: A one-star rating from the coveted Michelin Guide (it's the only hotel-run restaurant in Los Angeles with one). Now the restaurant is prepping for their new Chef de Cuisine's menu, which will debut on July 31st. more ›

Today in the web TV world, Josh Schwartz's (Gossip Girl, The O.C., Chuck) music-themed web series, "Rockville CA" premieres on TheWB.com. The show features both indie favorites and up-and-coming bands such as Eagles of Death Metal, The Broken West, and Bishop Allen. “Rockville CA” is set in a fictional Los Angeles rock club and was shot on location at The Echo, which is an actual, real rock club, that you might have heard of if you have a heartbeat. more ›

Critics are being rather forgiving of Jimmy Fallon's (only slightly shaky IMHO) "Late Night" debut: they brought out DeNiro who is always a tough interview and Fallon kind of made it work, and Timberlake kind of saved the first show - not sure why they had Van Morrison on, are they trying to reclaim the age 55-and-up demographic? more ›

It looks like Andy Richter will be returning to the side of Conan O'Brien when he fires up his version of "The Tonight Show" starting on June 1st. Richter will be the announcer for the show and will appear in comedy sketches but it's not clear if he will be a fixture on the guest couch a la Ed McMahon. Now that the Academy Awards are over with and Conan has shut down production, late night TV is a wasteland this week other than Jimmy Kimmel. more ›

We have a host of finales tonight but the ones to keep an eye on are Timothy Hutton's "Leverage" (10pm on TNT, pictured right) and John Lehr's "10 Items or Less" (11pm on USA).

KNBC helped define the medium of television and is due many accolades for it's services to the community over these 6 decades. more ›

Today AMC launched the beginning of a series of webisodes for its excellent series, "Breaking Bad", in advance of its new season starting on March 8th. more ›

While we still don't believe that Joaquin Phoenix's schtick on Letterman last night isn't anything other than a stunt, it doesn't mean that show's like "Late Night" need to go along with it. Do the producers of his latest movie, we don't even remember what it's called, think that this has helped them? What's your take - is Phoenix faking or tripping? more ›
