Real Houswives of NYC Reality Check: Charting Kelly’s Nervous Breakdown

Last week on the Housewives of New York City , the ladies celebrated Ramona’s 17th wedding anniversary with a Caribbean bachelorette party. Ramona drank her weight in pinot grigio, Kelly walked into a glass door and Bethenny cursed everyone’s stupidity. It was a fun little trip that Bravo did not want to end, so they stuck the wives on an island and let them battle it out Lord of the Flies style — well, Lord of the Flies -style plus Botox, a fully-staffed mansion and designer bikinis — in last night’s episode “Sun, Sand and Psychosis.” And poor Kelly was the first to crack. Relive the craziness after the jump.

30 Rock’s Season Finale Preview: Matt Damon’s Flying Colors

30 Rock ‘s been infested with guest-stars in its fourth season, so it’s only right to conclude (or justify) it the with the biggest guest-star yet: that bad Will Hunting himself, Matt Damon. He appears on tonight’s finale playing a pilot who shares Liz Lemon’s cynicism and works for a fictional airline called “Airbike.” Back in season three, Liz gleefully compared then-beau Drew Baird (Jon Hamm) as looking like “a cartoon pilot.” Will the real thing help invigorate Liz’s romantic desires before she marries Wesley, the non-love of her life? Clips of Damon in action and Tina Fey’s spoiler-y commentary are after the jump.

If Your City Were Perfect, What Would It Look Like? Build It with IBM’s CityOne Game (Video)

Screengrab via IBM video If you were given total control of your city and could plan exactly how it was set up from the structures to the water management to the banking industry, how would you lay it out? IBM created a SimCity-like game called CityOne in which you can design the ideal city. The assumption is they want to mine people’s minds for the best ideas that we can implement to improve our real cities, and see what we can salvage from our terrible urban planning efforts. Check out a video of the game after the jump and see if you want to add in your two cents about how bike lanes should be set up, and if we should be running off nuclear or wind energy. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Still No Ghostbusters Sequel, But How About a No-Budget Remake?

The egos, age, money and cynicism thwarting any reasonable hope for Ghostbusters 3 clearly have a lot of people down. Just look at the sullen group of New York Public Library visitors in the video after the jump. What they need — what we all need, really — is a little reassurance that our appreciation isn’t misplaced. And as if on cue, it seemed to walk right through the front door.

20 Years After Jim Henson’s Death, His Muppet Memorial Still Inspires

Yesterday marked the 20th anniversary of puppet grandmaster Jim Henson’s unexpected death from organ failure, a passing that, for some, was easily as paralyzing as the loss of John Lennon. Following his 30-plus years of work, in which he gave us Sesame Street , The Muppet Show , Fraggle Rock , and many other projects, Jim Henson’s surviving colleagues convened in London for what is still a devastatingly emotional ceremony to watch, even now. Videos of the poignant event after the jump.

Real Housewives of NYC Reality Check: Money Can’t Buy You Class… But it Can Buy You Autotune

Last week on Real Housewives of New York City , Bethenny mourned her estranged father from a Cadillac Escalade en route to hell and LuAnn cruised a jittery fellow named Cort who may or may not be gay. In this week’s episode, whimsically titled “Housewives Overboard,” LuAnn went down to Chinatown with Court (not a euphemism, she actually did venture to Canal Street), Ramona found her soulmate on a Hooters yacht, and for the first time in television history, someone misused the phrase “making lemons out of lemonade.” Those goodies, as well as the truest and fakest moments of the night, after the jump.
