On-The-Go iPod Playlist

It's been a while cause it's generally been the same stuff, but I found myself humming "Steady As She Goes" all while crossing Germany these past few days, and only finally figured out it was The Raconteurs.

and still LOVING Cristina Aguilera's "Ain't No Other Man". I cannot WAIT for her album.

John Mayer's "Waiting for the World to Change" ain't bad but it's no Room for Squares quality.

meanwhile, still enjoying All American Rejects Move Along album
and The Fray's How to Save A Life Album and still LOVING City and Colour's Album Sometimes.

Meanwhile, does anybody else feel the buzz of Panic! At the Disco is a little overated? Aren't they basically just Fall Out Boy?

Guilty Pleasures - Big Brother 7: All Stars - Why The Sixers are not the Friendsheep

Yes, the Sixers are sitting in the HOH room pretty much running the show, and keeping it to their own gang. However, they are NOT like the much hated Friendsheep because the Friendsheep were hated, not because they were running the Big Brother house, and dominating everyone else, it was because they were plain MEAN and made things PERSONAL, starting from Eric, the most misogynist, racist player disguised as a loving self righteous do-gooder, to the bitchy Beau, April and Ivette, to follower Maggie and the bitch that got Kaysar kicked out again. Sixers however aren't making it personal, they just want to win and that means everyone else will have to go. They are PLAYING the game, but they aren't making it personal, they just have a good set up that has so far been unbeatable, which is very different than the Friendsheep.

Let the war begin

CBC picks up ABC's The One. It fails big time. Now they go after the competition with CTV's Canadian Idol. This is too funny...

Guilty Pleasures - Big Brother 7: All Stars

When did Chicken George get into the game?

Man that was one weird episode last night. From the rousing and touching music during Howie and George's Jedi talk (where Howie seriously seemed moved, and also partially swayed by George's small dig at the Sixers... hmm.. maybe he IS playing the game), to a Veto where everyone but Kaysar and George gave up (with huge consequences later) after Kaysar and George gave up Veto power and their hair for next week. Will's " I hate you all" speech moving straight into George's "I love you all" speech. Then Jace's "I hate you all" speech calling out Marcellas for no particular reason other than Jace was about to be back doored AGAIN.

Weird but FANTASTIC!

Anyways, I'm off to Europe for a couple of days so will need be a little delayed on my summer reality tv (gasp!).

Project Runway

I don't know how I have never really posted about Project Runway but this is one of the best reality shows EVER (and not in the Big Brother trashy way but in a great The Amazing Race kind of way).

I guess cause I don't actually get it here on time so I rely on downloads or people taping it for me, but now that NBC is running the first few eps of the 3rd season (Mondays), I'm getting my design thrills back.

Anyways, I think this year, I'm either loving Laura (who of course is from Architecture background and has FIVE kids yet looks STELLAR, or Robert, who just looks stellar after years of designing Barbie. Yes. Matel's Barbie. I know, too easy to make fun of yet so far has been the funniest guy (without being bitchy) and has made some nice stuff so far.

I think I enjoy it most for rehashing memories of all the stress while designing in a studio full of creative but bitchy people, and then having it all hacked away my some nasty nasty (yet enjoyable) critics (oh, how tart you are Nina Garcia)!

ForEverwood - The Greg Berlanti Interview, plus, meeting Lainey the Gossip Queen

Here is a FANTASTIC interview with Greg Berlanti, the creator of Everwood, post-cancellation.



I LOVE Greg Berlanti. I know The Broken Hearts Club was all cheese but I loved it (and introduced us to a blonde Zach Braff and my fav J-Crew guy Chris Wiehl (from Love Monkey).
Also, we had Lainey visit the office today and she was nice enough to stop in my lil' ol office to meet me since she heard that I was one of her many readers. I must bow in the presence of such a gossip queen. I have much to learn...

My New Obsession - So You Think You Can Dance

Okay. I found the clip of Heidi and Travis' Contemporary from this week.



Meanwhile, I'm a little shocked that Dimitry got booted last night but at the same time, am not, since now it is all up to the audience vote, and if American and Canadian Idol has taught us anything (or at least taught Tamyra Grey, Chris Daughtry and Jacob Hoggard), it is that the crazed fans of the weakest person remaining has a LOT of time on their hands to call and vote to overcome more deserving people who have less crazed fans.

As for poor Martha, it was a bad night to have an off night, since all 4 of the girls are simply AMAZING and ALL deserve to win at this point.

Oh yeah. and over on Big Brother 7: All Stars? The sixers rule continues! Go James! Now don't screw your compadres over since if anyone will, you will... get Will and Boogie FIRST.

My New Obsession - So You Think You Can Dance

OMG I LOVE THIS SHOW...



Okay. BENJI, ALLISON, DONYELLE and TRAVIS are my top 4 if I really had to decide.... and seems like they are everyone else's (at least according to the EW poll (its at the end of the gallery pics)) .


However, how amazing was Heidi and Travis' Contemporary last night? (though I can't find a clip online yet).

Summer Reality - So You Think You Can Dance, Rock Star: Supernova, Big Brother: All Stars, The One

Let me get the rest out of the way first before I get to the good stuff...

Bottom 3 Josh... after playing dirty to get the song that you wanted, I am glad you were bottom 3 from Rock Star... so much for choosing your own fate. Didn't you listen to Earl (or for that matter, Carson Daly)?

Kaysar, we love you, but you DOLT... Why didn't you get Chill town out of the Big Brother house? ARGH... that's how they survived the FIRST time around... and now Nakomis or Diane will go, while the ever annoying Boogie stays. Janelle was right. You made a HUGE mistake. On the other hand, bravo for Diane's crying performance and pity plea... bravo... because if you seriously didn't expect All Stars to be cutthroat, maybe you DO deserve to be voted out.

George Strombo, you look seriously bored on The One. I'm seriously bored watching.

Finally. Like I've said for the past few weeks, HOW MUCH DO I LOVE SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE? I admit defeat since I totally dismissed this show when it started up again.

Now we are in top 10, new partners, 2 dance each as a pair, and one solo. Im tired just saying it all.

Sadly, some people had an off night. Poor Martha and Ivan were not up to their normal levels. Maybe chemistry caused it but even their solos were kinda plain. Poor Ryan is good but not good enough and the one I think is most forgettable (usually, well... cause I forget about him).

Meanwhile, I am LOVING LOVING LOVING Travis as always. New partner Heidi as always. Donyelle as always. Natalie as always, and her new partner, Benji who has totally grown on me throughout the weeks and possibly the main rival to Travis right now (at least within the guys). Dimitry continues to flaunt his chiseled body (hey, if it works right?) that I sort of get surprised everytime he performs because you forget that he is actually quite an amazing dancer. Still, the Chipendales thing needs to be toned down just a notch. I mean... look at Dimitry totally flaunting it. DISGUSTING.


Who will go tomorrow? I'll really be sad about any of the girls at this point, and will only remember that Ryan is still in the game when he gets cut tomorrow.

Shameless Plugs - Off-Broadway Bound - A Big Congrats to Chris

So you know that guy that was always talking the talk, and who was always so confident and got the girls, but was funny to the guys and as much as you wanted to hate the guy, you somehow couldn't? That was Chris.

When he said he was writing a musical, we were kinda like... hmm... sure... okay... u huh...
then we saw it, and it was ACTUALLY HILARIOUS... he might actually have something here.

Now, it will open Nov. 1st Off Broadway. So watch for Evil Dead The Musical. Yes. That's what I said and yes, it has great songs and you will laugh your ass off (and I'm sure they've tuned it up even more).

So a big congrats to Chris!

and the Toronto Fringe Festival continues to flourish! First Drowsy Chaperone, now this! Maybe this year's hot show Auto Show (with my friend Susan in it!) will grow...
