May 16, 2008 -There is nothing I’d rather watch than two people spend an amount of money that I have never seen, on something quite ridiculous. For someone whose splurges consist of new jeans, a nice hotel room, or a spa trip, watching someone splurge on things that cost more than a typical annual salary is quite amusing. Watching people bicker and argue over how many thousand-dollar Swarovski crystal candlesticks will be on each table at their wedding is quality entertainment.

Similar to MTV’s “My Super Sweet Sixteen,” but a little more mature…or not, “Platinum Weddings” on WE is here again with another season of wedded bliss. The season kicks off on June 1 with the wedding of Sara and Deepak.

Here is what WE online had to say about this wedding for the season premier:
“East meets West when Deepak delights his bride Sara and 660 guests with over a million dollars in celebrations, highlighted by his grand entrance on a fully decorated elephant.”

If there is not enough in the one sentence alone to entice you to watch, I don’t know what to tell you.

Check it out on The WE Channel on HTC’s Digital Passport, and in High Def!

April 4 , 2008 - I’m simply smitten with this word. Independent. And who wouldn’t be, with words like "free" and "competent" in its definition. And it’s not just the word that I’m smitten with, it’s everything that comes along with it. More >>

Oh, but don’t worry, I’m not going to start singing a schmaltzy love song. In fact, I’m talking about Spring Fever! And I’ve really got it bad! More >>

March 12 , 2008 - About this time of year, I start to realize that my long-standing New Years resolution to lose weight and get fit has not quite, well, taken off per say. I am willing to bet a fair amount of money that I may not be alone in this. More >>

March 5 , 2008 - There is something to be said about going against the grain. My generation, and from what I hear about the 70’s, the generation before me, has made a lifestyle of not following the norm. More >>

February 26, 2008 - I literally thought this day would never come. But after what seemed like years and years of waiting…the writer’s strike is O-V-E-R. Who cares you ask? Well, ME. That’s who. And you should too. More >>

February 19, 2008 - I am a firm believer that there are less than 10 different types of people in this world and that they all can be summed up by their movie tastes. For example, my sister is a Romantic Drama. My mother is a War movie. And myself? Well, I am a comedy. More >>

November 10, 2007 - I’ll admit it. I’m an addict. What’s my drug? Well, Bravo TV. And just like any other addiction, it’s love-hate with Bravo and me. More >>
