30 Rock Finale

this show just keeps getting better and better. Sean Hayes and Elaine Stritch (2 of my fav actors!) appeared as Kenneth's cousin and Jack's mother respectively.
Tracy made his way back to the show just in time to film the season ender of the Tracy Morgan show thanks to Kenneth saving his ass from his crazy, psycho cousin Sean Hayes.
Lemon decided not to move to Columbus to be with the lame-o boyfriend, opting to hang in NY with Jack....I see sparks down the road for those two!
Jack called off the wedding to crazy bones- a heart attack made him realize he wasn't really in love with her....more like he's in love with Lemon!
anyway.....here are some quotes in memory of the show. It's gonna be a long summer without it!

"He wants to buy you a drink"
"I already have a drink, do you think he'd buy me mozzarella sticks?"

"Jack, why are you wearing a tuxedo?"
"It's after 6:30pm Lemon, I'm not a farmer"

“Just like Sidney Bristow on Alias, I will use my sexuality as a weapon. To the wig shop!”

Arianna Huffington

The Huffington Post- one of the best online zines ever. It's a must read everyday. She is a modern day heroine for all women. Her new book on feminine fearlessness should be on the must read list at all schools. Nuff said....read a quote on her take of the White House Correspondents Dinner....p.s. she sat by Sanjayas mom on the plane to DC. Despite her thoughts on Sanji, she says his mom is pretty damn cool.

"Back to the surrealism: it would be hard to match the absurdity of listening to President Bush explain that in deference to the shootings at Virginia Tech he would forgo telling any jokes: "In light of this tragedy at Virginia Tech, I decided not to be funny." Okay. I get that. But it raises the question: why did he have no problem cutting up last year or the year before or the year before that as the body count of dead American soldiers and Iraqi civilians continued to rise? Is there some sort of comedy rule I don't know about? So it's comedically acceptable to goof around, pretending to look for WMD under your desk while the troops put in harm's way in the name of those WMD are killed and mutilated but not in good taste to deliver a monologue in the aftermath of a tragic school shooting? Who knew?"

matthew rhys



congrats to the hottie from bros and sis's- Variety has reported that he will star as Dylan Thomas opposite Keira Knightly and Sienna Miller. How'd he get that gig? Not sure what Thomas looked like in his 30's but I'm sure Kevin Walker is hotter.

AR

The Apprentice

Haven't watched the episode yet but my curiosity got the best of me this morning and just found out Stefani won! I hate to pat myself on the back, but I will anyway...I totally called it from the begining. She was a dark horse all along and came through at the end. He made the right choice! Althought I personally would have picked Frankie ;)

Notes from the Underbelly

1 Announcement. 6 Friends. Ready or Not! This is the motto of Andrew and Laurens life as they venture into unknown territory: Parenthood. Surrounding Andrew and Lauren as they embark on their journey is a close-knit circle of friends -- all of which have varying opinions, experience, and advice on starting a family. Can Andrew and Lauren juggle the freedom and spontaneity of their old lives and the responsibility of their new ones? Notes From The Underbelly, a new comedy about the labors of love, friendship and the P word.

it remains to be seen if this'll be good....i'm thinking yes-only to the character who is still single, sleeps around and drinks a lot. the rest will be boring...art imitates life.

story of the day

A young couple survived four hours in shark-infested waters after falling about 54 feet from the balcony of a cruise ship in the Gulf of Mexico. The couplw was hauled out of the water naked following a search in the dark after their friends reported they had fallen overboard about 1.30am. The pair, who specified they did not want their identities revealed, were not married and she did not know how long they had known each other. It’s not clear how the drunks couple fell off the Grand Princess cruiseliner, but it’s believed to have been an accident.

Diane Keaton receives award

April 9th 2007- Licoln Center Film Society honors Diane Keaton with a lifetime achievement award. I had the privelege of having tickets to this lovely event and didn't go. I was a little upset but after seeing the pic's on the wire I didn't miss much. Martin Short, Steve Martin, Lisa Kudrow and Sarah Jessica were the only celebrity turn outs. Woody Allen was a no show I hear, which is odd seeing as how he was supposed to present her with the award.
Congrats to her....well deserved.

please....say it isn't so...
a new biopic is in the works chronically the life and times of one miss. debbie harry. now, in my book this woman is a god. and dunst is not....so therefore and re-cast is needed and my cast list to choose from is as follows-
rachel mcadams
maria bello
samaire armstrong
lizzie caplan

Don Imus

bad move dude. doesn't he know only rappers can use the term "nappy headed hoes"?
this old fart should retire while he has some celebrity left in him. when was the last time anyone even mentioned his name? 1972? now he's all over the tab's. go out on a high note. everyone wants a scuffle with the rev. jesse and al.

jason whaler arrested...again

this dude is gonna have to watch his sex tape from jail

a sex tape?


hmmm...i hear there is a sex tape afloat in cyber space (sorry no link, I will find it though!). Lauren is beside herself raving to the tabloids that it is absolutely not true, no tape exsists! yeah right. translation- "holy shit, i thought we burned that! damn him. what am i gonna do? oohh i should call paris for some advice", stupid ho. it's out there and i give it 2 weeks before its on limewire.

new couple news

scarlett johansen and ryan reynolds....wow he is HOT! and she gets around. you go girl...

the AR, zzzzz

wow if this show gets any more boring i may fall asleep while watching. - recaplet

Malaysia- Mirna somehow manages to find flights on the internet better than the ones the travel agents know about. Uchenna and Joyce book a connection thats clearly too tight, and when they do in fact miss their connection they vanish from the episode. For the next 40 minutes, we watch as chmirna screw themselves by picking an obviously horrible needle-in-a-cookie-stack detour option then danny and ozzy go back and forth from one detour to another pissing danny off. During a Roadblock about recycling Mirna manages to find a few fans, and she's kind enough to impart wisdom to them that they couldn't have gotten elsewhere, unless they watch old after school specials. The beauties yield Eric and Dani, who of course sit around and discuss how this makes them "dirty hookers" and phony and so forth, because after all, only a person of bad character actually tries to beat you. chmirna of course, agree. the beauties make it the end and win motor scooters, which she could have used during her detour. then in the last five minutes of the episode, we see Uchenna and Joyce again. They finally make it to Kuala Lumpur, but when they get there they are sent directly to the pit stop. They know this can't be good news, and it isn't- they're eliminated. With almost no screen time during their own elimination episode, either. Harsh.

the soap-ranos

this premiere ep felt more like a montage of a pensive Tony and his demons rather than the gangster/mob drama it's supposed to be. it's gone soft if you ask me and needs to pick up some speed to end on a big note...
Remember how Tony dropped his gun in a field while fleeing from the Feds when Johnny Sack got taken in? Well, the writers do and it all comes back to haunt Tony after a teenager finds the gun. Tony's family wakes up to the sheriff pounding on the front door, and Tony is taken into custody. The case goes to court and Tony makes bail but later the DA drops the charges, and Tony thinks he's gotten off. Until the Feds announce that they have taken over the case. Tony and Carmela go to Bobby and Janice's lake house to celebrate Tony's birthday. Tony talks to Bobby about being next in line for boss. The long-simmering rage between Tony and Janice explodes during a drunken Monopoly game when Tony can't stop taking potshots at his sister and Bobby defends his wife's honor. Tony and Bobby fight-Tony goes down hard and spends the rest of his vacation bitching that the fight wasn't really fair. Tony and Bobby go to visit some Canadians who can get them a deal on fasomax-Tony agrees to whack someone for the Canadians. He forces gentle Bobby do it, and it's apparently Bobby's first whacking, so he's understandably disturbed. In other news, Meadow is living at home and planning to be a pediatrician, and Finn is nowhere in sight. AJ is working at a pizzeria and practically shacking up with Blanca and her son. Johnny Sack is still in prison. Christopher makes a brief appearance, so he's still alive, at least. Phil is fully recovered from his heart attack and seems intent on keeping the peace with Tony, for now.

30 Rock


Renewed for another season is the best show no one seems to be watching. This witty, sarcastic and often hilarious sitcom about a single down on her luck head writer of a show within a show about Tracy Morgan is probably one the best sitcoms on air. Alec Baldwin is at his best and the supporting cast often trumps the leads. I've had a thing for Tina Fey ever since her days on saturday night live and if possible, is even better here.
WATCH THIS SHOW DAMN IT!

Gina is gone

I'm officially pissed off and upset at www.votefortheworst.com. What the hell are they thinking?
Gina is an amazing singer and Sanjaya wasn't even in the bottom 3?
America SUCKS!!!!!!! We want to bash the show that brought us many talented, amazing artists? We want to squash the dreams of legitimate singers and keep the nasty, annoying
sings for shit loser like Sanjaya monkey boy.
AHHHH drive me fuckin insane and I want to hurt anyone who votes for him.
o.k. i feel better now.

Work Out



still finding it hard to watch knowing that in few episodes Doug will perish. It's so unfortunate but the show pretty much kicks ass, so I keep hanging on. Esp. now that Jackie is hooking it up with Rebecca, and is about to become a total player.

Ep. 3 recaplet-

Zen is a comedian, although a not a very funny one. Her ex-boyfriend escaped a prison sentence and she got pressured into dressing in some ugly lingerie while having her ass complimented creepily by her boss- all in a days work.

Erika brought her big ass "comforter in a box" to the sleep over. Guess she didn't have many friends as a child.

The whole cast about crapped their pants when they came to realize Jackie and Rebecca have a "thing".

J&R rub some weird cream stuff on their vajayjays in the powder room and exit walking like they have yeast infections. I'm telling you this show rocks.....

After the Zen show they retreat to Sushi and Jesse seems to have an issue with the whole JR tryst. He's whiny because him and Jax are close and "Why couldn't you just tell me, I'm hurt" blah, blah....

cut to the hallway leading into the ladies room...Rebecca wants to know if Jackie wants her too back off. Jackie drags out a "Nnnnn…" but can't say no because she's Jackie Warner. Rebecca looks coyly down at her shoes and pouts. She is pushing all the right Jackie Buttons. Jackie won't let go of Rebecca's hands. She pulls her closer.

Rebecca thinks they should go back to the table and sit with the others but Jackie has a different idea. She pulls Rebecca to her, draws her in, and they share a long, lingering kiss.
Check please.
Zen walks into the restaurant late but just in time to see Jackie and Rebecca are no longer kissing sweetly. Jackie has her arms wrapped about Rebecca's body and they making out like teens. Zen's facial expression says it all, esp. when shes blurts out "That's not Mimi!"


Next week- Rebecca and Jackie rethink their choices and decide to act like professionals. The guys are fully supportive and not at all threatened. Also, hell freezes over.

Izzy and George?


It seems that March Madness applies not only to basketball, but also to the shenanigans at Seattle Grace Hospital, because now it appears that, despite having consumed an entire bottle of booze, Izzie and George DID have sex (more than once!) and now Izzie thinks their hook-up was "God's plan" or something, because it was so very, very right, even though those of us who've been playing along at home have never seen any evidence of sexual chemistry between the two of them ever. After a lot of hangover-induced guilt from George and weird behavior from Izzie and a very poorly timed visit from Callie's dad, Hector Elizondo, George tells Izzie that he can't tell Callie about their rendezvous because it wouldn't be fair to hurt Callie just to ease his conscience. Izzie reluctantly agrees, but does a lot of crying, because…she's in love with George? If you say so. whatevs.

the race

After two straight weeks with badly designed Detours, we now get a leg that's badly designed from top to bottom. The fact that one Detour option is obviously better than the other is the least of the difficulties, because after eleven seasons, they've apparently not learned how to keep flights from separating teams by hours and hours. So most of the game is over very early this week, as Charla and Mirna are many hours ahead of everyone else. Uchenna and Joyce and O&D are hours behind them, and then Eric and Danni are hours behind them, and finally, Team Guido and Teri and Ian are hours behind them. The whole thing is a crushing bore, because nothing anybody does after the initial airport follies makes a difference, Uchenna and Joyce's "marked for elimination" thing is meaningless, and the entire elimination comes down to the last three minutes, when Guido does a puzzle faster than Teri and Ian and Teri and Ian are eliminated. This episode pretty much blows and it cements All-Stars as the most poorly planned season of all time.

Industry Updates

Baldes of Glory pulled in $33 mil at the box office, trouncing Disney's Meet The Robinsons.

HBO is in talks to create a mini series that documents the tragedy, I mean unfortunate turn of events surrounding the Florida recount of votes from the 2000 election. I wonder if Bush will o.k. this one.

Can you see Susan Sarandon and John Goodman in a live action Speedracer movie? uh...no.

Pirates and Idol come away with the big awards at the Nick Choice Awards. Justin slimes Vince Vaughn...can't wait to see that one.

The Nanny Diaries, pulled from the April line up by New Line due to budget restrictions. Whatever....it needed a re-write and now it will certainly suck ass come September.

Revolutionary Road

Kate Winslet and Leo together again. This time they team up to recreate Richard Yates amazing 60's novel Revolutionary Road. Think Amercian Beauty meets The Big Chill (minus the great soundtrack). Hopefully there won't be any drowning at the end of this one.
