Anthony Bourdain has gone from hip middle-aged man who travels the world, to a crotchety old man who travels the world so gradually we almost didn't notice. But there he was last night, complaining, aching, and just being old.

Today at Gawker.TV, we point out the mistakes in "Up in the Air," Anthony Bourdain's a hypocrite about food bloggers, Stephen Colbert draws attention to Obama's recent balls-of-courage, and Andy Richter finally speaks about NBC and the Late Night wars.

Anthony Bourdain has a big problem with food bloggers. He doesn't see why someone would want to eat food, document it, and then have other people view the results of that experience. Pot, meet kettle.

Tonight's episode of No Reservations featured Anthony Bourdain's return to familiar territory in Ecuador: he ate roadside ceviche, drank and schmoozed with the local friends he seems to be so good at making, and—oh, yeah—ate penis soup.

From heroin addicted chef, to globetrotting professional eater, to...this? Anthony Bourdain will make an appearance as a doctor on the Nickelodeon kid's show set to debut March 10th. Bourdain fans should not be pleased. Yo Gabba Gabba fans, either.

Today at Gawker.TV, Bill Murray dines with Anthony Bourdain, How I Met Your Mother's harem of hotties, Jon Stewart may have ripped off another comedian last night, the best commercials from the 1980s, and Mayor Bloomberg prepares us for the worst.

Usually Anthony Bourdain visits exotic locales eating conch ceviché, but last night he stayed close to home by touring the Hudson Valley. And who did he happen to have dinner with? Long-time resident Bill Murray! Bourdain was in awe.

On last night's No Reservations, Anthony Bourdain visited Prague. And that means one thing: liver-crippling drinking. What starts off as an innocent tour about Prague's culture quickly spirals into a man sloppily cramming pork in his mouth at 4 am.

Today at Gawker.TV, Anthony Bourdain comes across six tons of pure cocaine, NCIS: Los Angeles in 60 seconds, Mariah Carey's drunken acceptance speech, highlights from MTV's Teen Mom, and Bear Grylls gives himself an enema.

A viewer can't help but think that It's been a while since Chef Bourdain was doing lines of pure Columbian yayo off of Keith Richard's poultry, but make no mistake; It's neither the first, nor last time Bourdain's cooked blow.

Today at Gawker.TV, Sesame Street slanders Fox News, Anthony Bourdain ruins your Thanksgiving, a gang of Turkeys steal a little boy's bike, Dancing With the Stars has technical difficulties, and we discovered that the "flash mob" viral-sensation is played out.
