Blair Waldorf Must Die

Ah, nothing says Thanksgiving like getting wasted, roadkill pie, gay dads, and upper east side debauchery. Just another holiday for GOSSIP GIRL.

So S and D met last Thanksgiving in a heroic drunken pie incident; The Humphrey’s are playing house but Dan’s a little iffy on the idea; Blair’s a little too giddy and bitchy for her own good and a Waldorf exile send the Van der Woodsen’s off to Dumbo where you know things aren’t going to turn out well between Lily and Alison.

So what did we learn? Blair used to have an eating disorder — has noone told her that bulemia is so ‘87? I’ll forgive her though because she’s got some damn good hair! Gay Dad stole Mama Waldorf’s male model which totes revealed Mama Waldorf can be a little Joan Crawford when she wants. Lily used to be a lot like S, seems those Van der Woodsen’s have a way with partying and reformation.

Elsewhere, the Archibald’s had a frigid holiday dinner but miraculously Nate’s hair was flawless. Nate’s Mom is oh so c*nty and Chace Crawford is a bad actor.

Overall not the best episode and Kristen Bell’s catty narration was sadly missed but I guess even Gossip Girl needs a break for the holidays. I’m so afraid to say this but I’m slowly getting over my crush on Dan Humphrey. They’re making him too normal now and he’s almost too comfortable being with S instead of being the guy that lucked into Serena Van der Woodsen. And no Chuck? I’d kill to see how sad his Thanksgiving would be.

Alas, we sit and wait for the return of the Gay Dad and his boy toy ex-model bottom.

It’s Thursday and sadly tonight’s SUPERNATURAL is not new. It’s a repeat of the premiere The Magnificent Seven which kicked ass but, it’s not new! So, I’m bringing you pictures and episode summary for “A Very Supernatural Christmas” which will air December 13th.

“A Very Supernatural Christmas”
SAM AND DEAN HUNT AN ANTI-SANTA — It’s Christmas time and Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) investigate a series of murders where the victims were pulled up through the chimney. Sam realizes they are dealing with a sort of Anti-Santa, a demon with roots in pagan lore. Dean wants to celebrate Christmas the old fashioned way as this is his last, but Sam refuses, not wanting to accept that Dean won’t be around next year. Sam flashes back to a certain Christmas when he waited for his father to come home to give him a special gift.

The Broadway Stagehands Strike Has Ended! One strike down, another big one to go. And let me tell you, just in time because I know I don’t have tickets for the 15th and someone would have been dying if I missed my Spring Awakening kids… y’all know I heart them.

NEW YORK — A crippling strike that had shut down most Broadway shows in the heart of the holiday season ended late Wednesday night as striking stagehands finally hammered out a new contract with theater owners and producers.

The strike, which had entered its 19th day and drained millions of dollars in revenue from the theater district, was settled after a 12-hour bargaining session that had begun Wednesday morning between the League of American Theaters and Producers and members of Local 1, representing about 3,000 stagehands.

“We are pleased to announce that we have a tentative agreement with Local 1 ending the Broadway strike,” said Charlotte St. Martin, the league’s executive director. “The agreement is a good compromise that serves our industry. The most important thing is that Broadway’s lights will once again be shining.”

It’s Thursday and still really no word on where the writer’s stand with their AMPTP talks. The no media policy surrounding the meetings is really leaving writers and fans in the dark. With every passing day, we come closer and closer to running dry our favorite prime-time shows and seriously, if you think TV’s been bad this week, wait for another week or two of this.
