NBC’s hit show Chuck is about a nerdy guy who one day accidentally downloaded all of the government’s secrets into his brain, effectively turning him into both a supercomputer and a superspy. The show is a fantastic mix of comedy and action, and part of what keeps the show grounded in reality is the main character’s relationship with...
Tinsley Randolph Mortimer has been defined within the pages of New York’s gossip and society pages as a well-bred, well-educated, and well-dressed socialite. However, Tinsley has recently strived to evolve off the pages of the tabloids into a more genuine personality that is multi-faceted and, to put it simply, real.

I got more records than the KGB… so uh, no funny business.” I’ve found that those lines are most potent and pregnant with meaning when spouted from atop a table as though you’re Eva Perón on the balcony.
