When I opened the mailbox and saw the preview disc for Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami, the reality spinoff of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, my wife was standing right behind me and there was a little squeal of delight when she saw what it was. “What was that?” I asked. “What?” she said. “Did […]
Round and round and round she goes, but where Paula will land, nobody knows. Maybe she can be a zombie on AMC’s forthcoming series. The best news ever of the week was that AMC is working on a television adaptation of The Walking Dead. The ongoing comic series is far and away the most compelling […]
