The Hills Reality Check: The Gang Celebrates 100 Episodes With ATVs, Alcohol and Incest Jokes

The Hills last night celebrated its 100th episode, which means that the series is now free to explore syndication deals for over 80 markets in hell. Collective sigh. Let’s not think about a world where kids come home from school and watch Lo and LC instead of Seinfeld and Simpsons though — let’s just comb through last night’s birthday episode, “Welcome to the Jungle,” for the most and least authentic moments of the night. First person to click through gets a free surfing lesson and ass-grab from Justin Bobby.

Real Housewives of New Jersey: The Second World War Begins [Recaps]

Real Housewives of New Jersey Reality Check: Where Did All the Fun Go?

There was a time when the Real Housewives of New Jersey was fun to watch — and that time has long since passed. Viewers are now stuck with a cast of four (you’re better off, Dina) quibbling housewives playing tug of war with the cameras as they fight to show off every gory detail of their breast augmentations, gratuitous shopping trips and their descents into stage-motherhood. Last night’s installment was no different. Danielle recovered from her latest surgery and discovered new battle tactics courtesy of Paris Hilton. Meanwhile, Jacqueline and Teresa splurged on a shopping spree that caused PETA members worldwide to weep. And somewhere, Caroline Manzo cried about the loneliness of fame, or something. Instead of reconsuming the fattening filler, join Movieline after the jump to get the heartiest moments — both real and fake — from last night’s episode.

Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List Reality Check: ‘Toddlers and Remodelers’

Kathy Griffin blurred “real” and “fake” again during last night’s D-List , this time in a novel way: She and her mother judged a toddler beauty contest, an event devoted to fake appearances and a Boulder-cold reality — all while awaiting real renovations on her fake “D-List” home. Get all that? The layers are worth their own op-ed, but it’s Movieline’s job to pick the most real and fake moments from last night’s episode. Strip down to your juniors bikini and sashay with us.

Remember When Last Comic Standing Became the Scariest Show on TV?

Last Comic Standing may not have a sterling reputation, but I’ve never known it to actually frighten viewers. Unfortunately, the venerable standup hour took a dark turn this week, introducing us to a “futuristic” comedian named Mr. Zed who looks like a Madame Tussaud’s rendering of Wink Martindale. Hide the kids! And the grown-ups.

Top Chef D.C.: 5 Things to Anticipate Based on the Premiere

Top Chef ‘s seventh season brings viewers to Washington D.C., where competition is everyone’s daily bread. After viewing the premiere, I’ve figured out five constants that we have to look forward to this year — unfortunately, they’ve already eliminated John Somerville (the dreadlocked kook who first needed to master uncrossed eyes before taking on puff pastries), so the potential for greatness is somewhat hindered. Still, here are five things.
