Yes, my girl Whitney just won Season 10 of America’s Next Top Model! This is the first fuller figured/plus sized model to ever make it that far in the game. Hands down, she was the right pick. She’s curvy, she’s drop dead gorgeous and seriously fierce on the runway. Work it girl!

Here are my favorite pictures of Whitney from ANTM 10…

SUPERNATURAL concludes its 3rd season this Thursday night and here are some preview clips and photos from the episode entitled: “No Rest for the Wicked”. I cannot believe that the season has come to an end already but I’m psyched to know that Supernatural will live to see another season in the exact same time slot. Thanks for sticking with the boys CW!

*Thanks to Rae for letting me steal the clips (aka, she did all the grunt work and I stole it)

After tonight’s episode of SUPERNATURAL featuring the Origins comic legend Doc Benton, we’re in the final moments of Dean Winchester’s battle to stay out of hell. As I’m sure he’ll point out, it’s a real bitch and so is the fact that we only have one more episode left. The Season 3 finale airs May 15th and that’s too frakkin’ soon if you’re asking me.

E!’s Kristin Dos Santos took Erik Kripke to task on the final episodes of Season 3 and also got some fan questions answered.

What’s in store for us on this Thursday’s episode, “Time Is on My Side”?
We continue to ramp up the tension around Dean’s upcoming deadline of whether or not he will be going to hell.

I assume the drama is extended to the finale though…
Yes, there’s a good chance they’ll fail to save Dean on Thursday. His soul is coming due, and the boys are getting more desperate, trying to find ways to stop it. This episode is about them trying two very different, desperate methods to save Dean. Then on top of that, it’s sort of tied in with a really creepy urban legend about a couple-of-centuries-old doctor living in the woods on the East Coast who basically keeps himself alive by stealing organs…We’re kind of delving into that, and it’s definitely one of our creepiest episodes. There’s a lot of surgery while your still alive and maggots, so that’s really good times. And then we really climax our Bella storyline for the season. Lauren comes in…

Does she make it out alive?
Tune in and find out. But it’s not great news for her, and we show a couple of cards we’ve been holding onto all season, and we sort of reveal why she is, who she is and what kind of secrets she’s been holding, in a way that will surprise the audience and kind of tie her into the story.

Last night’s finale of PROJECT RUNWAY 4 was how should we put it… FIERCE! As I hoped, little diva Christian Siriano took home the grand prize and the love of Victoria Beckham. It’s just how I imagined it would be, lady!

Christian was such a bitchy queen in the beginning and I totes jumped to the early conclusion that he was a hack, a reality tv starved for attention hack but after the 3rd or 4th challenge, maybe even when he teamed up with Chris March, I realized I was wrong. The kids got mad skills! From that moment on, I was in love with the little beetle.

I have a feeling that very few people can get away with sassing Tim Gunn or even better, calling him “Lady” and for this I heart the relationship between these two. Tim obviously saw something in Christian and identified with his flair and fell in love. Watch those two week in and week out was one of the highlights of the season for me. The man started saying “Fierce” for the love of couture, that’s huge considering the man usually chooses to express himself with words like “Consternation” and “Circuitous”.

Send Tim and Christian on some kind of road trip or adventure and film it as a special for Bravo to air this summer because I’d be glued to my television watching these two bitchslap America.

Overall, everyone’s collection was incredibly rich and glamorous but I felt Christian’s had the most cohesive pattern and statement of design to them.

Rami’s work is dazzling and mind boggling but for reals with those colors? I kept looking at Jon and asking why on earth Rami chose those totally grody to the max colors from the 80s? I wanted to like, totally barf… for sure! Aside from color, the collection was great.

I was a little shocked actually to see Jillian come in 3rd. While I agree that her collection was all over the map, I thought some of her pieces were drop dead gorgeous and could see them in stores tomorrow. I really wanted good things for Jillian. She originally rubbed me as this stuck up rich girl but after a while I started to adore her and after seeing that she’s a totes Long Island Lolita, I wanted her to have the money. Plus, she had Jaslene in her show and that bitch was her best model! Alas, that’s not how it shook down.

Christian Siriano won Project Runway 4 and I’m happy this morning. Boy was fierce!

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!

Lost Season 3 Finale Final Moments

Congratulations to neo-hippies T.K. and Rachel for winning THE AMAZING RACE 12! It took me a couple legs of the race to get behind these two but once Kynt and Vyxen were kicked off T.K. and Rachel took center stage for me.

The finale was one big emotional roller coaster for me. It’s been a couple seasons since I really had a team I wanted to win more than anything. All I knew was that if Ron and Christina landed on that mat next to Phil first I was going to throw my flat screen out the window! Luckily my television and windows are fine (good thing as its about 15 degrees outside and I don’t need a draft in my house on top of then not having television to watch). I’m almost ashamed to say that I was having mini panic attacks as they raced toward the finish line. To make it worse, I cried my eyes out when they actually crossed the finish line. I’m a sucker.

I loved Season 12 as a whole. It took a while to feel emotionally invested in most of the pairs but I didn’t care because the momentum and the tantrums and the douchebags around every corner made the show one of the best in years. Nate and Jen should never speak to each other now that the show is over… they are nasty to each other and should just make the break. I truly hope that Ron has changed but I’m not counting on it. Oh and what about Don? I liked Don alright but he’s kind of a sore loser huh? Just be happy you didn’t die old man!

Another season of great reality television has passed and I’ve got my fingers crossed that Season 13 will kick into high gear this spring or early summer at the latest. I need The Amazing Race in my weekend schedule and if I’m being honest I’ll miss Phil’s tight pants on a weekly basis. Bless that man’s package. Love you Phil!

GOSSIP GIRL aired it’s last episode tonight and sadly I don’t have a ton of time to recap the pickle these kids got themselves into so I thought I’d share with you the actual typed notes I was taking when I watched this episode a couple weeks ago. It’s a look inside the brain of a 12 year old obsessed tv blogger.

B runs home and convinces her Mother that she needs a semester in Paris but S confronts B helicopter side and cons her into not running. It’s full circle as S reminds B of what it was like when she ran away and how she reinvented herself amidst all the gossip.

B might be tougher than we thought Upper East Siders, scandal’s got a new name and a new face. I wouldn’t want to be in the wake of Hurricane Waldorf.

How does it end?

“One good scandal deserves another,wonder who’s going down next? Everybody is B has anything to say about it. You know you love me. xoxox Gossip Girl”

There were some incredible moments in this episode. I loved Jenny standing up to Blair but then I hated Jenny for not doing what she promised Dan back in the pilot, not changing who she is. She had a big chance to change the social order of those over-privileged bitches but instead tucked her tail and carried on the rotten tradition.

I really liked the idea of coming full circle with Serena growing up some and having the chance to convince Blair not to make the same mistakes she made but I wish it didn’t come across so hokey.

That fight? Brilliantly lame. I now feel like I could take Nate, rip all his clothes off and slam him against the trunk of a car… wait, sorry!

Could Dan be more of a wet blanket? He’s such a sucker and I want him to move on. I want him to not be so in love of Serena. And Serena… I want her to just take a moment to breathe and not be trying to fix everything because I know she’s not like 2 months clean of being the next Britney.

Why oh why can we not have Rufus and Lily together? That’s driving me insane as I heart those two wacky lovebirds.

Blair’s return to school and the revenge she’ll enact is going to be devilishly sweet. I look forward to that most my friends!

So what did you think? Love it? Hate it? Sad this is it until God knows when?

Hey Upper East Siders, Ducky here urging you to watch tonight’s probable season finale of GOSSIP GIRL entitled “A Thin Line Between Chuck and Nate.”

I saw the finale a couple weeks ago so if you want major spoilers they’re after the jump.

The Girl with the Pixie Cut Wins Top Model 9

Saleisha pulled out a win in last night’s Cycle 9 finale of AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL. It was the right choice of the Top 2 but that’s where the questions come in. Why on earth was bland cowpoke Chantal in the Top 2 over edgy (though not my ideal choice either) Jenah?

After Heather was given the boot a couple weeks back I’ve lost some interest in who wins. For some reason I decided that the devil should win after H was eliminated and I aligned with Bianca for the win. That didn’t last long, bitch was gone in another week. Oh well.

From that point on I never really knew who I wanted to actually walk away with the title. Jenah was fugly in person but had some really good shoots. Chantal was very CoverGirl looking but dumb as dishwater and so just non-existent that I could never really like her. Saleisha was really interesting to watch progress over the season and I 100% believe that she’s the most commercial of the final 3. So I guess I’m glad she won? I guess…

If anyone is wondering why I’ve not had many posts over the last couple days its because I’ve been dead sick, like get Ned The Pie Maker on standby because he may just need to touch me and touch me and touch me… sorry.

After finally getting a new DVR that looks like it may have fixed my cable issues of the last 2 weeks, I forced myself to stay up late and watch PUSHING DAISIES “Corpsicle.”

Thankfully the Pie Maker, that Dead Girl, and a heavy dose of stage snow lulled my aches and pains away, sweeping me into the fabulously decadent world of Pushing Daisies where I could forget I was about to throw up from all the phlegm in my body.

The Winter Finale if you will was superb. There was mopping, some tears, lots of snow, a couple gruesome snowmen, a sassy invalid in need of a heart, hallucinations (not mine though really with all the cough medicine I’m on I could be seeing little dancing crabs), confessions, ass shavings, tension, and one really really long scarf for our lanky lead.

“Corpsicle” gave us quite possibly the most darkly humorous murdering of them all. There was no malice, no hatred, no heat of the moment to it at all. The murdering was done in the name of Charity, the best kind of murder when the Holidays are coming around if truth be told. You know how they say “Kill em with kindness”? Well, last night the wishing wishy wish-giver did just that… in the form of a bat with “Kindness” etched into it.

The reveal that Madeline was killing the insurance claimsmen that denied the jaded Abner a heart was genius. That she was willing to do this evil deed in the name of wish fulfillment was simply one of the darkest and most humorous things Pushing Daisies has come up with yet. Genius.

We learned last night that Emerson Cod has a daughter whom he’s estranged from and that its a itch Ned need not scratch. We also learned that Chuck is indeed the daughter of Aunt Lily (long rumored). I loved learning this tidbit about Emerson. He’s still pretty much an enigma. We know he likes to knit and he likes him some pie. About damn time we got to his backstory some. Chi McBride nailed that scene too. It was touching. As for the reveal that Aunt Lily is Chuck’s Mother… eh. I’m fine with it but I figured that there would be something more outlandish and creative to the reveal. I’ll survive.

HEROES Chapter 2 “Generations” Ends and “Villians” Begins

Heroes just ended and if you read my post earlier today you know that I’m ripshit right now! I cannot believe that they killed Nathan Petrelli. Come on folks, you gave the man nothing all season and then you have him die in his one moment of glory? I know it was poetic and powerful and all but come on give a brother a break.

Tonight was a really good finale, it was on par with the last couple episodes and it was actually better than last season’s finale. They promised deaths and we got them in spades. First Maya was shot by Sylar then revived by Claire’s blood. Next Niki blew to bits while saving Monica and that one looks like it might actually stick (and I’m not sad in the least). Then came the blow I knew was going to come… the death of Nathan Petrelli as he was seconds away from exposing the fact that there are people amongst us that have some very special powers.

The big question now is who killed Nathan Petrelli? It was a man, tan and slender wearing a ball cap. Is it someone we already know or someone new? Is it perhaps HRG? He did make a deal with Bob that would put him back in the service of The Company which would get them off Claire’s back forever. Is it possibly West? Seems awfully convenient that he tried to convince Claire not to go public just a matter of seconds before her Dad walked into the house, already in cahoots with The Company. Is West HRG’s new partner?

I’m at least safe in knowing that they didn’t kill either of my two new favorites… Adam and Elle. Adam though could have some trouble coming around any time soon. After convincing Peter to break into the Primatech vault holding the Shanti virus and tangling with that time tripping Hiro he was made to lie down for a few… in a coffin… trapped, buried alive probably for another 400 years. In Adam’s case, being immortal frakkin’ sucks right now.

My girl Elle tried her darndest to live up live up to Bob’s expectations and tried to take Sylar down on her own. After a nice bout of gun and lightning play Sylar escaped with Mohinder’s bag of blood goodies. While Elle thought her Dad would surely kill her for messing it all up, she soon realized that there’s possibly more joy in saving people than killing them. She got a kick out of knowing that her Dad would be proud that she saved Maya, Mohinder, and that pesky little girl that just won’t die, Molly.

It was a fast paced hour and I’m really sad to know that HEROES won’t return until some undetermined date in 2008. To wet our appetite, they did just as they had last season and gave us a preview of the next chapter in the Heroes story. HEROES Chapter 3 is called “Villians” and it began with Sylar regaining his powers, including that creepy ass ticking clock noise when he’s working his smokin’ hot evil mojo.

Oh yeah, another question left open… what the hell happened to Caitlin after Peter destroyed the Shanti virus? Essentially that should have erased the apocolyptic future she was trapped in, right? Oh, and one more… who was Mama Petrelli talking to after watching Nathan perish on live television? The plot thickens.

What did you guys think?

HEROES Chapter 2 “Generations” concludes tonight with “Powerless” which may or may not be the last new episode until next Fall. Only the WGA Strike will tell.

“Powerless” Clips
Featuring Sylar and Maya with Suresh, Elle opening up to HRG, and Adam with Peter.

“Powerless” Trailer

“Powerless” Description
IT’S HERO VS. HERO AS THE SERIES’ “VOLUME II: GENERATIONS” COMES TO AN EXPLOSIVE, BLOODY FINISH — Deep below Primatech Paper in Odessa, TX, Peter’s (Milo Ventimiglia) reunion with Nathan (Adrian Pasdar) turns violent when the brothers, Matt (Greg Grunberg) and Hiro (Masi Oka) all clash thanks to Adam (David Anders) and his pursuit of the deadly Shanti Virus. After watching his heroic cousin captured by a street gang, Micah (Noah Gray-Cabey) turns to the one person who can help him save Monica (Dana Davis) — his mom (Ali Larter). Meanwhile, Maya (Dania Ramirez) tragically learns how much of a monster Sylar (Zachary Quinto) really is during his kidnapping of Molly (Adair Tishler) and Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy). Meanwhile, Elle (Kristen Bell) decides to play hero to get back into her father’s (Stephen Tobolowsky) good graces.

“Powerless” Pictures

All I have to say is that if either of the 2 people that are supposed to die are Nathan or Adam I’m going to be pissed. Nathan has been screwed out of a story this season and we’re just now getting into Adam’s story. I think KBell is safe as well because she’s so not fulfilled her episode commitment yet.

HEROES airs tonight at 9 p.m. on NBC
