, only to discover that we're missing some key ingredient but we're too lazy it's too late to go get it. Which is fine, because we like a challenge, and we haven't been able to follow a recipe since 1992 anyways.

Hey Houston, do you want your MusicTV? No, we’re not talking about the reality TV channel of the same name, although we admit we have watched that ridiculous Lauren-Heidi melodrama on occasion. (Actually, we don't miss an episode, but we're not proud of ourselves!) Each week, we’ll give you the 411 on televised music performances that are so good, they’ll almost make it worth your while to sit through Jay Leno’s monologues! Monday -ABC, 11:05pm:...

As part of HBO’s The Comedy Festival, a contest known as The Lucky 21 was created. The premise of the contest is to spotlight the upcoming comedians from around the country.

Houston Artist Screens 9/11 Parallel Tale No matter how many years pass, uttering the phrase "September 11th" will always bring a somber reflection of memories from 2001. Whether you recall where you were, what you were doing on that day in history, we feel it is most important to do the most America activity possible. And, no, we're not talking about eating a hot dog, watching reality TV, while plotting the comeback of Britney Spears....

For Houston reality TV fans who have been waiting to see our city represented ever since Erica left The Bachelor, we have good news. This season - uh, cycle - of America's Next Top Model features a very pretty Houstonian. Meet Felicia. She's 19 and works as a sales associate. If she wins, she will receive a $100,000 modeling contract with Covergirl, a spread in Seventeen Magazine and representation by a top model agency. We...

As the world holds its breath, teetering precariously on the cusp of the Super Bowl (well, at least in America), the wheels of the -ists keep on turning. Austinist was in a musical frame of mind as they listened to the new Shins album, updated the SXSW band listings and got called "punk rock" for their efforts by MTV. And an ice storm swept through the area. Bostonist said goodbye to John Kerry's plans...

Houston Contestant Competes in Telemundo Reality Series

On Sundays, Houstonist runs opinion pieces relevant to life in Houston. The opinions expressed below are entirely those of the author. Ready for your big break? Willing to do anything to get some money, honey? Well, put on your knee pads and big, watery eyes and head over to the Marriott (near the Galleria, natch) between 9am and 6pm today.

Seriously, though — in the coming weeks, clergy from area churches will join 20 HPD officers on patrol on the southwest side in hopes that they'll be able to be liaisons for police in areas where police might not be welcome. "We're not in the business to reach the hearts and minds the way trained ministers are," HPD Fondren Patrol Capt. Williams (nah, we don't know his or her first name) told KHOU.

We just want to know… are the people in charge of “The Bachelor” joking? Really? Are they kidding? Because this season is making us lose complete faith in the authenticity of reality TV shows. Especially ones that are meant to end in marriage. Our faith is being tested because on last night’s episode of “The Bachelor”, Prince Hottie Lorenzo actually offered a rose to native Houstonian Erica. This upsets us because we really think...

Normally, when it comes to national reality tv shows, we’re all about rooting for any Houstonian. It’s a chance for people to see that not all Texans speak with slow drawls or chew straw between meals. We like that, right? Last night, we caught the 2-hour premiere of the ABC show “The Bachelor”. (Which we also love.) So imagine our surprise when we see that the Houstonian chosen to represent our city was a...

Torontoist visits the site of a new Frank Gehry structure, stalks "the elusive Bahamas streetcar", and watches Tom Green get surgery. Phillyist rejoices in the Phillies' wild card chances, mourns the injuries sustained by Eagles defensive end Jevon Kearse, and goes pirate on our asses. SFist notes that Guns and Roses were in town, that San Franciscans are taking over reality TV, and that the San Francisco Chronicle's skills of original nomenclature could use some...

Picture it: you’re a bored, gorgeous Houston girl sitting at home on a Saturday with nothing to do but file your nails and sit by the pool. Tragic scenario, right? We found a solution for you! The CW show America’s Next Top Model is going to be in Houston tomorrow looking for fresh faces (and bodies) to appear on cycle 8 of the hit TV show.

In the highly-publicized Mayoral election in New Orleans last weekend, incumbent Ray Nagin eked out a win over Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu. The race was close up to the end, but Nagin claimed the victory with 52 percent of the votes. Houstonist was momentarily stunned after seeing the results come Sunday morning, but we've warmed up to the idea since Nagin will assuredly continue his entertaining and carefree "Chocolate City" rhetoric for years to come....

Before he had his own reality TV show, before he was in jail multiple times for drug charges, before he married Whitney Houston, and before he was a hot solo act, Bobby Brown was a member of the teen band New Edition. It was announced this week that Bobby Brown would be reuniting with the band in Houston this summer for the Essence Music Festival. We hope Whitney shows up, too – that media circus would be fun.

Houstonist does not buy into the whole guilty pleasure thing. Either like something or don't, we say. But , Bravo's reality TV fashionista slapfight, is almost enough to change that opinion. Houstonist tuned in each week not because we particularly liked the clothes, or Banana Republic, but because we had to have questions answered: Could Austin be any prissier? Could Robert be more useless? Could we possibly like Wendy less? The answer to all these questions was a resounding "Yes."
