There’s a boy who sits across from me in library study rooms almost every night. He appears to do homework while I binge on chai lattes and Sour Patch Kids and type away frantically at my computer. He doesn’t complain when I accidentally hum along with the music streaming into my ear from a single… Read more »
Last week’s Keeping Up With the Kardashians centered around Kim’s pregnancy. With the early arrival of baby North West , we’re sure to hear plenty more about that in the coming weeks. Sunday’s show, though, was all about Scott Disick. The man proved inspirational to a cancer patient … yes, we’re serious. Reality TV at its best, people! Let’s break down this week’s episode: Scott Disick has made us all cringe over the years by being a creepy, narcissistic jerk at times … but is it possible that this was all (or mostly) an act? Or the character he was playing in those early days? It’s hard to say, but we’ve seen a more likable side of the man in the last year-plus, from hilarious antics to last night’s genuinely warm (!?) behavior. Josie Langsdorf, an Ohio woman dying of cancer, for some reason unknown to the rest of humankind had a meeting with Scott Disick on her bucket list. Plus 50 , because the show wouldn’t make that up … would it? Minus 250 , though, for having that item on your bucket list. Scott, obviously, was reluctant to go, not just because it’s crazy that he was on her bucket list but because he doesn’t like to be around sick people. But he did, and the experience was actually pretty cool to see. Plus 300 for Josie’s spirit, despite the hand she’s been dealt. Now that is an inspiration. Scott even admitted that his own father had been sick for years, and gave her one of his Rolex watches. Yes, one of them. Still, Plus 150 for that. “I came into this situation thinking it would be extremely sad, but it’s really the opposite,” he said. “I’m more thankful to have met her than she is to meet me.” Now we see why Kourtney Kardashian stays with this guy even though he doesn’t propose. Plus 100 . Gotta give credit to Lord D when it’s due, THGers. The other big issue last night was Bruce Jenner and his hearing problem, which was not a brain tumor (phew) and just a normal part of aging. Minus 200 for planting the idea that Bruce has a brain tumor. The kids, meanwhile, pranked Kris Jenner saying they were a guy named Todd Kraines, calling her and sending her stuff … and it was pretty great. Kris knew it wasn’t the real Todd, but had no clue what was going on, and the payoff once she figures it out is going to be classic. So Plus 100 . EPISODE TOTAL: +200! SEASON TOTAL: +286!
Food Network Star took viewers to the movies last night. Though popcorn and Sour Patch Kids were definitely not on the menu. Indeed, a special episode of this Food Network hit featured a team challenge in which the contestants were tasked to create film-themed trailers for their food. We witnessed one dedicated to western, another to romance and a hilarious references to “50 Shades of Hot Sauce.” It’s unclear if that items came with chains and handcuffs. Who impressed viewers the most? Which preview made us cringe the hardest? Visit our friends at Food Fanatic now for their latest Food Network Star review !

A six-year-old boy who nearly went blind in one eye can now see again after he was told to play on a Nintendo games console. Ben Michaels suffered from amblyopia, or severe lazy eye syndrome in his right eye from the age of four. His vision had decreased gradually in one eye and without treatment his sight loss could have become permanent. His GP referred him to consultant Ken Nischal who prescribed the unusual daily therapy. Ben, from Billericay, Essex, spends two hours a day playing Mario Kart on a Nintendo DS with his twin Jake. Ben wears a patch over his good eye to make his lazy one work harder. The twins' mother, Maxine, 36, said that from being 'nearly blind' in the eye, Ben's vision had 'improved 250 per cent' in the first week. She said: 'When he started he could not identify our faces with his weak eye. Now he can read with it although he is still a way off where he ought to be. 'He was very cooperative with the patch, it had phenomenal effect and we’re very pleased.' Mr Nischal of Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital, said the therapy helped children with weak eyesight because computer games encourage repetitive eye movement, which trains the eye to focus correctly. 'A games console is something children can relate to. It allows us to deliver treatment quicker,' he said. 'What we don’t know is whether improvement is solely because of improved compliance, ie the child sticks with the patch more, or whether there is a physiological improvement from perceptual visual learning.' The consultant added that thousands of youngsters and adults could benefit from a similar treatment.
