* This isn't really much of a note, but mmm...champagne.* Ooh! Christian got a well-deserved bitch slap from Sanaa Lathan, who then refers to her cleavage as "world class." I like her! Plus it's always refreshing to see Christian get turned down ( Read more... )

* Helloooo, Slater! Lingering, stylized shots of naked Mario Lopez...definitely not Saved by the Bell. Is this show even pretending to be about heterosexual males anymore? Did Carson Kressley invade the writer's room? Since when is this Queer As Tuck? 'Kay, I'm done ( Read more... )

Jericho (CBS Wednesday, 8PM)

Maybe HBO has spoiled me, but sometimes Jericho is hard to watch. If it were the down-home family drama it seems, Jericho would require little more than we get here...but once the atomic bombs drop, the CBSness of this show starts to hurt. The explosions themselves look great--few sights are more terrifying than ( Read more... )

Waking up: "Deep in a Dream" // Chet Baker
Average day: "South Side" // Moby feat. Gwen Stefani
First date: "Crybaby" // Mariah Carey ( Read more... )

Here's the play-by-play...* A stripper named Blu Mondae, huh? If they don't play the New Order song I'll be severely disappointed ( Read more... )

It’s dawn. I haven’t slept in two days. Still, I’ve managed to look my best in designer jeans and a button-down, hair mussed just so, sipping a trendy energy drink and sporting sunglasses even before the sun has fully risen. On any other day, it’d be safe to assume that I’m on drugs-but I’m not.

Hooray! Although it's a little early to say for sure, Nip/Tuck seems to be back on track from last season's mostly derailed storylines. The writers seem to have fixed most of the problems that plagued Season 3. For example:

The Positive* No more Carver whodunit, which was dragged out waaay too long considering the "well, duh" payoff. I ( Read more... )
