Texannie, that's what I heard too--that Will and Mike were owners--no mention of anyone else. I thought it interesting that Will is practicing medicine. How would you feel having him as your doctor? I am sure he is knowledgable, but it would be strange after seeing him as we have. And he is really a funny guy. I wish they would show more about the physical layout of Survivor. What they did show was interesting. Looking forward to more on the last two days.

I was thinking the same thing.."he has a general practice, but is pursuing all opportunities in show business" HUH? LOL

Mike Boogie is part owner of Dolce, I went there to eat and even saw him there randomly. The waitress said he's part owner. He wasn't dressed stupid so maybe he just does it for these shows. But he was on his cellphone the whole time, rude.

La Dolce Vita

Care for something sweet?

(Like we even have to ask.)

Dolce, which means "sweet" in Italian, is the name of West Hollywood's newest restaurant. And by all appearances, it's aptly named.

The latest venture by nightlife impresarios Lonnie Moore and Mike Malin (of Belly), Dolce serves food that'll remind you of Italy in a setting that'll remind you of, well, L.A. Decor comes courtesy of the ubiquitous feng-shui-savvy Dodd Mitchell (Katana, Sushi Roku, Linq, Falcon): big leather booths, twenty-foot ceilings, and walls of fire that blazes behind thick glass (perfectly safe, we assure you). The patio is cozy with cypress trees, heat lamps (duh), and plenty of candles.

Chef Mirko Paderno (of Ago, Valentino, and Celestino) delivers classic Italian dishes like Burrata cheese with grilled tomatoes and prosciutto, codfish soup with rapini, fusilli with lobster meat and roasted red peppers, and chicory-enhanced veal. An enoteca menu of smaller tasting dishes ($6-$9) is also available, and the wine room is amply stocked. Of course, dessert is a must: tiramisu, ricotta custard, and cold lemon souffle with blackberry coulis.

Very, very dolce indeed.


Dolce, 8284 Melrose Avenue, at Sweetzer Avenue (323-852-7174).

I'm enjoying this documentary immensely. Funny how I know everyone on there, I've managed to watch every reality show it seems, lol. I love how Gladys, Will, Mike Boogie, Eric Nies, etc. are all having dinner discussing stuff.

I'm surprised in the three episodes I've seen so far they haven't discussed The Mole at all, especially when they were talking about the perfect hosts, like Joe Rogan and Jeff Probst. Where's the love for Anderson?

I don't know why they kept referring to Who Wants to Be a Millionaire as a "reality" show. It's a game show, nothing more!

Geez. Next time someone whines about American reality television...ick! Where are people so desperate to be on TV that they would have enemas on camera? Geez! I also found it ironic that the oh so worldy Euros keep trying to convince everyone that sex on television is no big deal to them, and that Americans are such prudes, yet it seems to be all they want to watch. Why is that? Shouldn't they be bored senseless by it?

That disease show - gross!!! I don't want to even think about that, let alone see it. I bet that's on very very late on friday night when the guys get home from the pub!

I think the point the European show producers were trying to make is that when their viewers see nudity and sex on tv it's more like sport or entertainment than a sexual thing. It's not that they don't want to see it, just that they see it differently. It really is a cultural thing.

I was hoping they'd ask John de Mol what he thought of the changes Shapiro and Grodner made to US version of Big Brother.

What about the detox show. Who wants to watch people giving themselves enemas. That was so disgusting I had to walk away from the t.v. set.
