At 10/9c I’ll be liveblogging the gayest show on television, Make Me a Supermodel, over at AfterElton.com so come by and comment if you’re a fan.
Here’s a preview of tonight’s way nude Make Me a Supermodel
Hey y’all! We’re so back for another great episode of crazy fun antics- yay! So, it’s 1987, and Henry’s so totally into a horrifically bad soap opera he’s watching, when Mini-Shawn busts him. Henry tries to cover himself and be all, oh it helps when you’re trying to figure out if someone’s lying. Mini-Shawn doesn’t buy it, nor does he buy the current story line- Logan was TOTALLY cheating on Skye. Hee!
Present day, where Shawn and Gus are driving a golf cart around on “a real live movie set”. They’ve been called in by Lassie, but can’t seem to find where they’re supposed to be until they spot flashing lights and sirens- “If I were a crime scenen where would I be? Oh, here I am!” I adore Shawn. So, they’re on the set of this telenovela, which Gus knows pretty much everything about. I was looking up telenovela on Wikipedia, and Patricio Wills, head of development at Telemundo, explained them hilariously well: “The plot is always the same. In the first three minutes of the first episode the viewer already knows the novela will end with that same couple kissing each other. A telenovela is all about a couple who wants to kiss and a scriptwriter who stands in their way for 150 episodes.” Do you love it? I totally do. Anyway, Gus and Shawn are able to actually see the murder, as it was committed on camera, oddly enough. Rinaldo Nunez was stabbed by Jorge (both actors on the novella), but Jorge swears that he thought the knife was a prop- one of those that sink in when you put pressure on them. Jorge is Gus’s favorite actor, so Gus begs Shawn to take the case. Shawn watches the tape again, and reads the complete shock on Jorge’s face- it definitely wasn’t the face of a killer, so he’s on board.
OMG, you guys, the whole theme song is in Spanish! Words can’t describe how much I love love love this show- marry me, Psych writers!
Back from commercials, and Shawn and Gus are in Chief Vick’s office, acting out the accidental murder. She’s not really buying it, and tells the guys that Jorge has been temporarily suspended until the investigation is over. Gus totally freaks, cause he “need[s] to know if that baby is his!” He’s suck a dork, but I totally get it. I’ve been watching General Hospital with my mom forever, and I can never wait to see what crazy shiz Luke is gonna pull next. Shawn Psych’s that there is a hair in the evidence bag carrying the knife, so the Chief gives them one day at the set to try and solve this thing. (more…)
Last night I had a hard time watching television, but damnit I forced myself to overcome the urge to not turn on the tube because the allure of my newest obsession The Biggest Loser: Couples was too strong to resist.
Where can I get my own personal Jillian? She’s terrific television and the scariest bitch on earth when it comes to kicking peoples asses into gear. If I had her in my life I’d be able to do a triathalon someday (though, I could do without the running part – is there a designated runner position in a triathalon?) or at least look good at the beach. What I’m getting at is the groups picked to be a part of her new Black Team last night need to stop the big belly aching and get their asses into shape. Most of them barely lost weight and in the case of Paul he gained a pound or two.
I know she’s like the challenge of the underdog but if they don’t step it up she doesn’t stand a chance of shoving victory in Bob’s face once again.
Today someone asked me if I was excited to see Jenn (formerly Purple) go home and the answer is “Hell Yes!” The girl sucked. Up until this week she was pulling some really low numbers and I’m sorry if you think that means people perceived you as lazy… you kind of were. Now if we can just get rid of her purple people eater partner in crime my life will feel a little more complete. Yes, I know I’m a horrible person.
Over on American Idol, did you guys catch “The Homecoming Queen” Leo Marlowe? I think he’s absolutely adorable and while he’s no Sinatra, he’s good enough vocally and entertaining enough personality wise to kick it in Hollywood. I hope he does well if when we get to those dreaded group sing-a-longs and eliminations the Hollywood round is so famous for. Click here to read my thoughts on Leo and to watch his audition.
Over on the Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency she proved once and for all that she’s a total PR whore for not only herself but all of her friends! Check out how many times she can say the words “Christian” and “Audigier” not if for the last time she has words with her supposed Business Partner Peter Hamm. Oh, and there’s plenty of hot male semi-nude action as well as some Vegas debauchery. Here’s my AfterElton recap of The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency.
We are almost 24 hours away from the LOST Season 4 Premiere and ABC is not joking around about promoting the return of Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Locke, Ben, Juliet and Co. Here is a new video promo released this morning by ABC. Enjoy!
If you just can’t wait for Season 4 premiere spoilers head on over to my girl GMMR because she’s already seen it.
LOST’s game changing brilliant Season 3 finale “Through The Looking Glass” airs tonight to get you reacquainted with our favorite castaways and Others before tomorrow night’s Season 4 Premiere.
Be on the lookout for important information about Lost as it appears in the bottom third of your screen during the 2 hour broadcast. It’s kind of like Pop Up Losteo.
Just to recap where we stand before tomorrow’s premiere, here are the infamous videos recapping LOST. I have these on my iPhone and I watch them at least once a day to gear up for the premiere. I cannot wait!
It’s Tuesday night and while we can’t watch a new episode of BONES, it’s nice to see the show getting some broader audience love. Starting tonight at 10/9c TNT will begin airing Bones from the beginning. That’s right, each week at 10 you’ll be able to watch every episode of Bones in order. Experience Booth and Brennan’s first meeting. Experience the overly physical Bones as she kicks perps asses (thankfully scaled down as the series moves on). Experience Angela and Hodgins before they were Angela and Hodgins sitting in a tree k-i-s… you get the idea.
I got Bones Seasons 1-2 on DVD for Xmas and I am on the Season 1 finale as we speak. There are some very first season hiccups (over exposition I’m looking at you) but over all it is a great ride. The characters are developing nicely and it’s fun to see where it all began. I started watching Season 3 so I never knew any of the backstory or development of Bones’ team so I’ve been really excited to see how it all gets to the characters I now know in Season 3.
I’ve pretty much decided that Emily Deschanel is a goddess and that my world was lacking before she came into my life. If you’ve never watched Bones, record the premiere and enjoy.
Watching an Awards show on Fast Forward is the best thing on Earth! No more hideously boring speeches from Actors you’ve seen win 1000x. No more tributes to people you don’t care about. No more homages to dead people. No more witless banter from presenters. Brilliance is what Tivo or DVR is! Brilliance.
I just watched the Screen Actors Guild Awards in about 37 minutes and I’m very pleased I didn’t waste my time on watching all 2 hours. I saw enough to know that everyone in the audience wets themselves over the cast of Mad Men because every time the show was mentioned the place went insane. I also watched enough to once again be thankful for the end of The Sopranos. I’m not a fan and I’m so over them winning everything every year. I also watched enough to know that people adore 30 Rock as much as I do and that Tina Fey is a golden goddess. And lastly I watched enough to know that my love for the rise of Josh Brolin is appreciated by all and not just me and my friends. Congrats to No Country For Old Men on their ensemble win because there is NO other film this year that can top the overall acting achievement made by the combo of Tommy Lee Jones, Javier Bardem, and Josh Brolin! Kudos.
Last night the 60th Annual Directors Guild of America Awards were handed out and my personal favorites MAD MEN, PUSHING DAISIES, and THE AMAZING RACE kicked some directing ass.

SUPERNATURAL finally returns this Thursday with a new episode entitled “Malleus Maleficarum” (episode pictures) and here are a couple preview clips to wet your appetite for a Winchester sandwich!
TORCHWOOD Season 2 premieres January 26th on BBC America and the anticipation is killing me. Not only do I obsess over this show and the genius that is Capt. Jack Harkness but knowing that Buffy’s James Marsters is in the premiere makes the wait that much worse.
Here are the first 4 minutes from the Torchwood Season 2 Premiere entitled “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang”
Here’s a bonus clip featuring James Marsters and what appears to be his time travelling character that used to be “partners in everyway and then some”. Good god!
Just wait until you see the full on gay kiss between Capt. Jack and Capt. Spike John Hart. Damn that’s hot!
You’d be surprised to hear that I’m attending a sporting event this weekend; my very first live hockey game. No I’m not playing, I’m just going there hoping to see copious amounts of blood spilled! My mantra leading up to the game has been “There Will Be Blood” and I better not be made a liar.
Aside from my butching it up at the rink, there’s a ton of great television to watch this weekend. Starting tonight I’ve got Friday Night Lights and Psych!
Friday Night Lights “Humble Pie”
Brian “Smash” Williams (Gaius Charles) confrontation at the movie theater has turned from bad into worse as charges are being pressed against him. Smash must now decide whether he must swallow his pride and apologize or stand up for what he believes is right. Elsewhere, Jason Street (Scott Porter) finds a new career. Tami Taylor (Connie Britton) is hired by Coach Taylor (Kyle Chandler) as the girl’s volleyball coach and turns to Tyra (Adrianne Palicki) for help. Meanwhile, Tim Riggins (Taylor Kitsch) faces tough times as he tries to express what he is feeling to Lyla (Minka Kelly).
Psych “LIGHTS, CAMERA…HOMICIDIO”
The set of a Spanish soap opera filmed nearby is rocked when someone is murdered, and Shawn and Gus are determined to uncover the killer; the pair investigate the set, following every possible lead, while wreaking havoc for the actors. Just wait until you see Shawn’s hair… hideous way mucho!
Saturday night is a little more gay as the Second Season of TORCHWOOD kicks off with special guest star James Marsters (Spike aka Blondie Bear from Buffy) as Capt. Jack’s one time “partner”! Hello… cannot wait.
Watch a bonus clip from Torchwood “Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang”
Then over on TLC its the long awaited (at least by me) return of Paige Davis to TRADING SPACES! I’ve missed the little pixie host and with her comeback is a new twist to the show that will hopefully bring some much needed spunk back into this dying design staple.
God how much did I obsess over Trading Spaces back in those early years? Too much. So much so that I was featured in a Boston Globe article about my obsession with the show. Yeah, I’m a freak.
Sunday night the Screen Actors Guild Awards are on and people congratulate themselves on being wonderful.
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles star Lena Headey announced that she has been battling depression for two decades and often considered killing herself.
According to WENN:
300 actress Lena Headey has been battling depression for nearly two decades. The star of hit new Terminator spin-off The Sarah Connor Chronicles reveals the condition first struck when she was a teenager.
The 34-year-old Brit admits the blues got so bad at times, she considered suicide. She says, “I found the teenage years very difficult. My mum took me to the doctor, and he said it was depression. It was a relief just to know what it was. It comes and goes.”
Headey has managed to control her depression, without medication, and insists she only struggles with violent mood swings a couple of times a year.
She adds, “I don’t use medication because I’m worried about becoming dependant on it. When the depression comes it is very intense, and you can’t see beyond it.”
And her suicidal thoughts have dwindled: “I guess there have been thoughts in my head but not enough to do anything about them.”
I’ve got $20 on November 2009. I kid, I kid! That was heartless. I’m actually very pleased to hear someone in the public eye willing to come out and talk about their issues with depression. More teens need to know that they are not alone and in this case that if you fight through it eventually you’ll get your own Terminator to play with.
This video had me rollin’! Jerry O’Connell is really channeling something great in this mockery of the Tom Cruise Scientology video we’ve all seen 1000x by now.
The manic laughing and clapping is so great! The KFC line is brilliant. The shout out to the WGA is priceless.
CHUCK will air it’s final two hours of pre-strike episodes tonight at 8/7c (“Chuck Versus The Undercover Lover“) and 10/9c (“Chuck Versus The Marlin“).
I’m almost ashamed to admit this but I’m not even excited to see them. This strike has really put a lot of shows into my out of sight, out of mind category and Chuck’s apparently high atop that list because I’m not even going to watch them tonight.
I’ll record them but I’m not watching them until the weekend probably. That’s what the strike has done to me y’all… Chuck Bartowski isn’t even a priority in my life anymore. Ho-hum.
Watch a Preview Clip of “Chuck Versus The Undercover Lover” (8/7c)
Watch a Preview Clip of “Chuck Versus The Marlin” (10/9c)
Thanks to Rae for letting me steal her code for these clips. I’m lazy.
