If you’ve ever read a tabloid, celebrity magazine, watched MTV, or talked to a teenage girl, chances are you’ve heard of “The Hills” and “The City.” Whether you think the shows are mindless drivel or actual entertainment is your own opinion, but there’s no doubt that they make for great…
I admit it — I only watch the Super Bowl for the commercials. I’m not a football fan, but I’ve loved the clever 30 second stories that appear during commercial breaks since I was a kid. The quick wit and humor is what attracted me to pursuing a career in…
