Throw Robbie from the Train

Posted in Current Events, The Bachelor on June 24, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

So I’m late in my Bachelorette post, but in my defense, it was a crazy week. First of all, I moved from Alaska to LA, changed my name to Ricky Hollywoodand started to iron all of my Ed Hardy T-shirts. Then I had to go back to the East Coast for a sit down with [...]

Candygram

Posted in Current Events, Delusions of Grandeur, Tori and Dean on March 28, 2009 | 3 Comments »

Was anyone else tricked into DVRing 20/20 last night to see Candy Spelling unleash the family secrets? Earlier in the week, I read a quick review of her new book, Storiesfrom Candyland on EW.com and was sorely disappointed…but not as disappointed as I was this morning when I watched the interview. If nothing else, though, I [...]

A Final Rose Thought

Posted in Current Events, The Bachelor, True Confessions on March 5, 2009 | 5 Comments »

The Bachelor. People, I’m still all over this. It’s amazing what the “Most Shocking Ending Ever” and an impending layoff will do to people. I’ve been thinking about this (or as I’m sure my friend, Kristina, would say “obsessing”) and the whole thing makes me sad. As a child of divorce, I get really upset [...]

Every Final Rose Has Its Thorns

Posted in Current Events, Reality Shows, The Bachelor, True Confessions on March 2, 2009 | 4 Comments »

I don’t write a lot about The Bachelor–I find it’s easier that way. I get way too worked up about reality television especially when “love” is involved. True story, back when I lived in LA, I actually considered going on The Bachelor. Why, you might ask? A) I’m not very good at dating and I [...]

I would like to thank the Academy for only going a half hour over the alotted time

Posted in Current Events, Shows that I would like to see on February 23, 2009 | 4 Comments »

While not my favorite awards ceremony, I do love me some Oscars. (My favorite awards ceremony is the Golden Globes. It’s short, sweet, and most of the nominees and presenters are drunk out of their minds. Plus I’ve actually eaten and drank in that ballroom multiple times.) So it’s the 81st Academy Awards or if [...]

“That’s trash talking!”

Posted in Current Events, Reality Shows, The Horror on February 4, 2009 | 1 Comment »

By now, we all have heard about the insane Duff vs Dunaway catfight. Basically, Hil is making an ill advised movie about original gangstas Bonnie and Clyde. Ms. Dunaway, a former Oscar winner and the most frightening woman in my childhood besides the Wicked Queen in Snow White, allegedly (in Tracy Morgan as Star Jones [...]

A little bit of this, a little bit of that

Posted in Current Events, Lost, Nip/Tuck on January 31, 2009 | 4 Comments »

I’ve been preoccupied doing online crossword puzzels, watching documentaries about Ted Haggard and Facebooking so I am just going to do a laundry list of observations for the week: 1.) Jessica Simpson-Call my cynical, but with the Award Season, the Super Bowl, and a new Presidential Administration, no one cares about Jessica, so I think [...]

We’re gonna need a bigger gondola

Posted in College Football, Current Events, Delusions of Grandeur, Genius Ideas on January 5, 2009 | 1 Comment »

So I’m flipping back and forth between the Fiesta Bowl (oh and what a Fiesta it isn’t) and a Lost Marathon on Sci-Fi. First things first, I very rarely watch Lost in reruns yet I also seem to turn in for an old-fashioned Buckeyes Choke…why is that? Real quick Longhorns thought: not a fan of [...]

For your Bailout Consideration: Days of Our Lives

Posted in Current Events, Days of Our Lives on November 24, 2008 | 2 Comments »

As I like to depress myself I’ve been reading lots of articles about the economy while listening to Coldplay. Anyway, banks are failing, the automakers are failing and Dee Hall and Drake Hogestyn were given their walking papers. It’s tough out there, kids. I mean, now that Obama’s got an Economic Dream Team in place [...]
