goodbye, but not really

the legendary jay leno finished his 17-year reign on late-night this past friday. jay wrapped up his tenure by welcoming conan o’brien, who is slated to take his coveted spot. but if you ask me, it was all kind of a weird situation. because jay’s still gonna be on your tube! just a bit earlier. [...]

typecast much?

my big fat greek wedding… loved it. such a feel-good movie, funny & definitely different than anything we had seen. nia vardalos was a perfect fit for the role. but i couldn’t help but think that she would be a one-hit wonder. she is so characteristically greek that it’s tough to see her being a [...]

her bizarre world

okay, we get it. you want to be edgy. you want to be different. but COME ON, lady gaga, now you are just getting annoying. it’s as if every morning she wakes up & actually spends time thinking about how she can act even weirder than the day before. her fashion? i don’t consider a [...]

jon & kate plus the d-word

there are simply no words. i used to watch TLC’s ‘jon & kate plus 8′ to get away from it all. ridiculously adorable kids and funny moments made for the perfect tv relief. but then, it happened. it’s no secret that this family has fallen into the media frenzy of fame & gossip. and oh [...]

3rd runner-up

she says she “fell in love” with jason, the latest Bachelor to headline ABC’s hit reality show. but as we all saw, jason left her to come in 3rd. (and lucky her, right?) jillian harris, a 29-year-old singleton from vancouver, will now try her hand at love. we’ll watch as 25 guys – deemed the best [...]

craving originality

since when did the brains behind the entertainment industry stop thinking of new ideas? i cannot say how annoying it is that the big studios are simply remaking old classics. LAZY!  while i couldn’t care less about most of these, a couple (my fair lady, mary poppins, footloose) really get my blood boiling. they’re messin’ [...]

there’s money in dancing

dancing with the stars. or as one comedien put it, dancing with the vaguely familiar. yeah, that’s more like it! one of those vaguely familiar contestants this season was olympic gold-medalist shawn johnson. the 17-year-old gymnast was a natural, and definitely helped draw a wider audience. i’m pretty sure abc knew that, judging by shawn’s [...]

a time & a place

   last week, i was tuning in to some good ole american idol when BAM. we were all treated to a monstrous opinion over-share. performer katy perry likely went against the wishes of producers to show her affection for finalist adam lambert by fashioning his sequined name on her costume. while i’m sure adam lambert’s [...]

100 calorie pack crazy

let’s have a little chitty chat about this commersh i just saw. it literally made my mouth hang open. the ad features a horde of completely insane women, screaming with excitement as a truck carrying ’100 calorie packs’ of oreo cakesters rolls down a city street. we’re obviously supposed to find this hilarious, but the [...]
