90210 In 48 Hours

A couple more days to go until the 2 hour season premiere of 90210 (2.0)! Are you excited and just can't hide it?

SoapNet is having a marathon of the original series starting @ midnight tonight and I think it's going to focus on the BFFness of Kelly and Brenda in preparation for their reunion on the new version. Catch it if you're toiling around the house tomorrow or have it on during your Labor Day BBQ.

I love Shannen Doherty even more because she's a fan of Gossip Girl.

And Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin does look like Andrea Zuckerman!

Here are some photos of upcoming episodes of 90210.

Halle Berry @ The Zoo, Me @ Long's

Halle Berry spent part of her Labor Day weekend @ the Los Angeles Zoo with 5 month old daughter, Nahla, and Berry's mom. Ms. Berry is not on the celebrity list of hawking her baby's picture to magazine outlets. That makes her even cooler.

I spent part of my Labor Day weekend @ little drummer girl's doctor's appointment, ditching the 10 mile line @ the In-N-Out for Taco Bell, hanging around Barnes and Noble waiting for little drummer girl to pick out some books, and perusing Long's Drugs in search of a better deodorant. And little drummer girl tried to get me to buy her 3 kinds of lipstick and a mirror.

Political Stance

On his 72nd birthday, John McCain made headlines earlier today by choosing Alaska Governor, Sarah Palin as his Vice Presidential running mate. In the last few hours, this virtual unknown political figure has had all these news blurbs about her streamed through the internet and on newscasts. Like, did you know that Palin came in 2nd place @ the '84 Miss Alaska pageant? And Perez already posted what looks like some old photo of her posing like it's some school picture.

Obama already commented on the fact that McCain chose a VP candidate that has no knowledge on foreign policies. I am down to watch Biden debate Palin in the coming weeks.

Something that people don't know about me is I follow all things political. I am aware about Drudge and watch MSNBC and know about all those cable news anchors. Often times I discuss news stories with my boss, Les. I try to school him on all things pop culture but his patience for it starts to wear thin.

It is the 21st century; Like some people have already stated, we'll either have our first African American President or our first woman Vice-President. Either way, it'll definitely be a whole new beginning.

Jennifer Aniston Is Not Desperate; Is She?

Why would Tim Gunn label Jennifer Aniston desperate? And high maintenance?! She's the coolest! Well, that's what I had thought up until recently. Only because I have noticed a difference when I see images of her out and about. She still looks great but it's like there's a sadness to her. Anyone agree? Her and her posse can tell the media and the public that she's the happiest she's ever been but then she has to let that actually show. Maybe I'm not making sense. It's Friday, it's viciously hot, and I'm working all day. On a good note (maybe), Aniston is currently shooting an episode of 30 Rock (Liz Lemon!) in NYC, her rep confirms but isn't giving away any details on her character. Regardless, the JA is still tops.Oy, I gotta pick up my dry cleaning.

Lipstick Jungle Adds Las Vegas Alum

Nothing going on today. I have a headache and am having some people irritations this crazy, hella hot day.

Barack Obama is scheduled to formally accept his nomination and give his speech on this final night of the DNC. Jennifer Hudson, Bon Jovi, and Bruce Springsteen will be performing in Denver tonight.


And NBC's Lipstick Jungle, which stars Brooke Shields, Kim Raver, and Lindsay Price, will be adding a recurring character played by Vanessa Marcil to interact with Shields' TV husband, who's some sort of musician. Does this mean no return to General Hospital for Marcil?

I think I'll go buy a cherry slurpee. Wonder if Les will see me sneaking out.

Gossip Girl And One Tree Hill Season Premieres

Monday, Sept. 1st is Labor Day. It's also the night of the CW's premiere of the much buzzed about Gossip Girl and the still going strong One Tree Hill.

Here are just a few photos from the 1st episode of Gossip Girl that takes place @ a white party in the Hamptons.
Blair wants Chuck to say those three words, eight letters
Nate & Serena playing it up for his cougar milf

Dan trying to patch things up with Serena

Blair with Lord Marcus, her fake boyfriend

Are they gonna have beach sex?

And watch out, I have a spoiler comment - I just saw a scene from the 3rd episode involving Dan (Penn Badgley) and Serena (Blake Lively) and it was so heartbreaking. A little more upsetting than Brenda & Dylan's first break-up @ the beach (Losing my religion, anyone?) but doesn't quite top Ross & Rachel's final break-up scene when she tells him, "I think you should leave, I really think it's time for you to go now".

On One Tree Hill, Lucas (Chad Michael Murray) imagines what it would be like if he chose either, Brooke (Sophia Bush), Peyton (Hilarie Burton) or Lindsay (her first name is Michaela) to be with forever. C'mon, we know who he ends up with. But is it long lasting? And Skillz and Deb have relations...

Did Lucas call Brooke?

Skillz and his own cougar milf

I Passed My Class, Bill Me Later

A mini wave in celebration to me! Remember how distraught I was earlier in the month about the final I was convinced that I'd failed? Yeah, well relaxation can happen now since I found out I passed the class. Whew! Now moi can focus on the important things, like debating if I should purchase a new adding machine.

On another note, Bill Me Later is basically a credit card, isn't it? Why yes, I do believe it is.

Man it's hot here in F-mont.

Jennie and Shannen's EW Photoshoot

Okay, so Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty did the EW photoshoot together and they were interviewed @ the same time over breakfast. No photoshopping here.

Check out the video link of their cover shoot below and tell me what you think.


OMG! Jennie & Shannen Posing Together!

Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty are on the cover of Entertainment Weekly. This is the one you should buy instead. They look great! I hope they just weren't photoshopped together. 6 more days until the season premiere of 90210!!!! AAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Where's Keri Russell Been?

Keri Russell has been keeping a low profile lately. You'd usually see pictures of her and her baby around New York. Or maybe I just haven't bothered to look. I still have to see "Waitress", which looks really good and she did the blockbuster "Mission Impossible" with Tom Cruise not too long ago.

I think this was taken a couple of week ago.
Remember how exciting it was when she started dating Scott Speedman in real life as their Felicity characters were getting together? I wonder why they broke up. They've even remained good friends according to Russell. Speaking of Felicity, Elena didn't die after all in the finale, right? Didn't we see her in the last scene all of a sudden? Gosh, it was so long ago.

Keri just completed shooting "Bedtime Stories" with Adam Sandler in LA so she'll be on the big screen soon enough. In the mean time, she's probably chilling with her son, River and husband Shane something.

Shannen Doherty's Comeback

Ooh, look who's on the cover of the new Us Weekly. Yup, Shannen does an interview and reveals her side of things with regards to leaving 90210 after 4 seasons and that catfight she supposedly had (not true, according to Doherty) with Jennie Garth. You know you're going to pick up a copy with a quickness...

To Care Or Not To Care

Who is shattered by this break-up?

No question, Brad Pitt is still handsome. He's currently @ the Venice Film Festival.


Hilary Duff with hockey player boyfriend Mike Comrie; he's really cute. What was the name of that movie Hilary co-starred with Heather Locklear in?

Please go away already! Shit...

Who Is The Mother? We'll Wait For It

How I Met Your Mother is set to premiere their 4th season on Sept 22nd and we'll see if Ted actually moves in with Stella (Sarah Chalke) during the course of her multi episode stint. And is Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) really starting to like on Ted's ex, newscaster Robin (Cobie Smulders), who's also set to move? What I'm looking forward to? Lily's wardrobe. And when is "Frizz" (New Adventures of Old Christine) coming back?
Season premiere photos below.

Listen To Sarah And Vinnie

So I'm listening to the bay area's radio station Alice @ 97.3 and it's so good. For those who know the Sarah & Vinnie morning show, it was such a treat to have former producer Uzette Salazar on the program today. She was filling in for vacationing traffic reporter, Kathy, who just recently came back on the air with them around the same time Vinnie returned. Uzette had a whole lot to say about what she's been up to the last six years and her and Sarah did allude to a mild tiff between the two of them when Uzette was let go from Alice years ago. But the rapport they have is still the same so it was funzo.

It's Tuesday, so that means Disney's Ariel's Beginning is out and I have to go get it since little drummer girl has seen the billboard ads all over the place. She'll be all into the Disney princesses and then go goo-goo for the Jonas Brothers. And those boys do what now? Sing, that's right...

WTF?! It's Dylan's?

Tell me it isn't true. I read an excerpt for 90210 that included a scene between Dylan (Luke Perry) and Kelly (Jennie Garth) watching "their" son, Sammy sleep and Kelly being agitated because per usual, Dylan went MIA. This better be some mistake and taken out! I think it's for the 6th episode or something. I know, I know...Who gives a flying fig. (ME!)

Networks Priming For Premieres

With Labor Day fast approaching, not only does it mean that summer is coming to a close and that classes have begun, but the new Fall TV season is about to get underway. Squee!!!

The CW is getting an early head start with the premieres of shows like Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, and 90210 airing new episodes on Sept. 1st and 2nd. Fox's Prison Break will also premiere on Labor Day and I believe Bones will start on Wednesday, Sept. 03.

NBC released some promo photos of The Office (Sept. 25) gang and rumor has it that Michael Scott will be involved in a triangle with Jan ("That one night") and Holly, the one that replaced Toby. Pam went off to art school and made a new male buddy.
Grey's Anatomy, which also premieres on the 25th, we'll get to see Meredith & Derek cohabitate and Yang will get a new love interest. Erica and Callie will explore together and McSteamy will be a part of their storyline. The others (George, Lexie, Alex, Izzie, Bailey and the Chief) are there too.
Desperate Housewives will kick off their season on Sept. 28th and Pushing Daisies will re-appear on Oct. 1st so you'll get your fill of Swoosie Kurtz.
Do you have a gum?

Do You Fondue?

I want to say that it was maybe two months ago when Goose, Buster and I had dinner @ this Fondue restaurant (Buster's pick) and it was the longest dinner ever! In fact, I still think it's going on. Because of the type of place it was, I would understand it would take a little bit longer, but it felt outright like an eternity. It sounded as if we were even repeating our conversation. Where can you buy a dress? (8:30)

Were can you buy a dress? (10:00)

We felt sorry for the patrons coming in close to 10:00; they had no idea that they should have brought their pajamas and some blankets.

The three of us will be attempting another establishment (not fondue) soon. My choice this time so here's hoping we won't need luggage.

Gossip Girl Window Display @ Henri Bendel's

Gossip Girl's costume designer, Eric Daman unveiled his window display @ Bendel's last night in NYC. Each display is supposedly inspired by the main female characters.
Leighton Meester, Taylor Momsen, Jessica Szhor, Matthew Settle and even Kelly Rutherford were on hand for the unveiling. The supporting female cast members who play "Blair's" minions were seen @ the event as well. Leighton brought along boyfriend Sebastian Stan, who appeared on two episodes of Gossip Girl as "Carter Baizen". Noticeably absent was Blake "Serena" Lively who was seen strolling the city with boyfriend Penn "Dan" Badgley earlier in the day.

A week to go before the second season starts on Monday, Sept 1st. And then the day after, it's 90210's season premiere. Oh, teen dramas...

Look What I Found

I was doing my laundry the other day and as I was taking my clothes out of the dryer, I noticed this rolled up piece of green paper. I peered closer and to my delight, I found that it was...
That's right. Atwentydollas. Score. Hey, it may not be much but it's twenty more bucks that I have to spend on entertainment literature or gas add on.

Nighty night

90210 Premiere Party

The cast of 90210 gathered in Malibu Saturday evening to celebrate the show's season premiere on Sept. 2nd. Original cast members Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth, who will be reprising their Brenda Walsh and Kelly Taylor characters, were also on hand for last night's festivities. But like a lot of fans, I'm chagrined that these two did not pose together @ the arrivals line or even inside! You'd think that the network would make that mandatory since it would definitely be a photo-op. Guess it's still not that cool between Garth and Doherty. Oh wells. And I keep forgetting that Rebecca Donaldson, oops, I meant Lori Loughlin, is on the show. She's probably pissed that a lot of people are forgetting she's on the show.

It's Nat! Joe E. Tata

Shannen!!!

Since the 2 hour season premiere was not sent out to critics, we won't know if Shannen will be in these first 2 episodes. It's been said that some editing may be done or an additional scene could be filmed to include "Brenda" but they won't say for sure. And that puts a damper on my Brenda is Back viewing party. What if I do one for the premiere and she isn't there? What if I decide to not have it on the 2nd and Brenda does appear? What do I do ('frets frantically')?

Madonna Is Sticky And Sweet

The one and only Madonna kicked off her Sticky & Sweet tour Saturday night @ Cardiff's Millennium Stadium in Wales. That's really far from my house here in F-Mont. And the just turned 50 year old glam mom was wowing the 40,000+ fans, including hubby Guy Ritchie and kids Lourdes and Rocco. I will make myself available should anyone have an extra ticket to her show here come November.
Sidebar - Hmm, why do I see "Steven Keaton" ala Family Ties on The Young and the Restless? And there's "Gary Ewing!"

Guess What?

I got nothin'...

I Gotta Wear Shades

I always seem to forget to remove my sunglasses when walking into an establishment. That's okay though. I have an affinity for wearing shades.

Ouch! My stomach hurts...

I managed to get a few things done here as Les has taken the day off. I have two big projects to complete by next Wednesday.

I was going to go to the mall again and browse Express. I was in there yesterday with little drummer girl and they seem to have a new designer because they had a few good pieces. They've turned really trendy as of late and they're kinda going back to classic looks. But as I stated earlier, my stomach hurts; maybe it was those fries I had for lunch.

Rachel & Ryan Doing The PDA

They really are back together! Squee.... Rachel McAdams and boyfriend again Ryan Gosling were photographed having either breakfast or lunch in Toronto on Thursday and much PDA was had. Isn't that how they always were though? Very touchy feely... Nice.

Let's hope they make it last this second time around.

Melrose Place Reunion? Sort Of

What's the grumble I hear that the cast of Melrose Place will reunite for the Emmy telecast? That's exciting and not so exciting. We'd get to see them, but only for like, 45 seconds. And which of the revolving cast would be present hasn't been decided. And if this is actually true, hasn't been confirmed. So I'm speculating. It's also been rumored that these Emmy people are trying to round up cast members from 90210, Knots Landing, Dynasty, and Dallas to get up on stage.

I would love to see Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth present together. That'll make up for the last time they were to present years and years ago and Shannen bailed because Garth was given more lines.

Audrina Just Doesn't Care

I had refused to write a piece on "The Hills" but I received a request last night in my buzzed up state of mind. And a follow up e-mail this morning. I won't go into too much detail, but the numbers for Monday night's season premiere weren't as high as last season's. The folks @ MTV are attributing the Olympics factor to the decrease in viewership, but I think it might be that just as Audrina doesn't care about the tense situation with Lo, the world doesn't care all that much about "The Hills". In addition to Audrina not caring, she's also "over it". That last scene was the funniest part. How did Lauren manage a guest spot on "Greek?" And I must admit that Heidi is way prettier than her sister. Who is she anyway and you know she's just trying to cash in on their expired 15 minutes! What do you think, P-Man?

And Jean Jacket Wearer, I hope you solve the mystery as to where that beloved piece of denim is hiding. Maybe it's @ The Bottom of the Hill...

It's A Small Mall After All

Little drummer girl did better than expected @ the dentist this morning. Even though this wasn't her first trip, she was still very apprehensive. It was her first visit to this particular dentist and he seemed to calm her. Can you believe this is the dentist I went to as a child? He must be that good. The way he was with little drummer girl made me think of the Friends final Thanksgiving episode where Joey gave that hypnotic look to erase all your troubles. We'll definitely go back to this dentist. Dr. Dura is what I'll call him.

So afterwards, we head over to Hillsdale because I promised a toy or three in exchange for good behavior. Buster said she was @ the mall or she was planning to go to the mall. And then as I'm purchasing sour peaches, I hear this loud, "What are you doing here?!" I couldn't see the face and I assumed she was asking the cashier that inane question I thought. I saw the figure move closer to little drummer girl and realized, of course, it wasn't Buster, but G-Mother K. Wasting time when she should be @ work. She said she was on her "lunch break".

I need a nap. I'm told I'm in for a long musical night this evening.

The Women

The latest chick flick film, "The Women" , is about to hit theatres September 12th. And it features an all star cast - Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Eva Mendes, Debra Messing, and Jada Pinkett-Smith. I love chick flicks! Where has Meg Ryan been and will Debra Messing escape her disastrous "Wedding Date" luck?
The Women tells the story of Mary Haines (Meg Ryan), a clothing designer who seems to have it all - a beautiful country home, a rich financier husband, an adorable 11-year-old daughter and a part-time career creating designs for her father's venerable clothing company. Her best friend, Sylvie Fowler (Annette Bening), leads another enviable life - a happily single editor of a prominent fashion magazine, a possessor of a huge closet of designer clothes and a revered arbiter of taste and style poised on New York's cutting edge. But when Mary's husband enters into an affair with Crystal Allen (Eva Mendes), a sultry 'spritzer girl' lurking behind the Saks Fifth Avenue perfume counter, all hell breaks loose. Mary and Sylvie's relationship is tested to the breaking point while their tight-knit circle of friends, including mega-mommy Edie Cohen (Debra Messing) and author Alex Fisher (Jada Pinkett-Smith), all start to question their own friendships and romantic relationships as well. (synopsis courtesy of countingdown.com)

I Don't Want To Go To The Dentist

Those were the words that came out of little drummer girl's mouth yesterday. But I pressed on and said it would be a quick peek inside her mouth. Who am I kidding? She knows the drill. This isn't her first time going but of course, her actions speak differently.

Personally, I'm afraid of the dentist myself. And hell yeah, I still freak out each time I walk inside the office. And I'm a grown-up! Wait, really? I'm a grown-up? I so don't feel like one and I know I don't look like one (okay, stop snickering). I still ponder what I want to be "when I grow up." No, I don't want to be a Pussycat Doll. How does one become a publicist for celebrities? They are the ones who write up stars' official comments to the media. They plant fact and fiction stories about their clients to drum up press. They say when time is up for red carpet interviews and what is okay and not okay during talk show appearances. That's what I really want to be!

So...back to the dentist. We don't like to go!!!

Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams Re-Love Each Other

The word on the street is that Ryan and Rachel reunited. And it probably feels so good. R & R were seen walking to dinner hand in hand Monday evening in Toronto. Naturally, it's been speculated that they are trying to work things out. Especially after McAdams was spotted @ the Green Door Lounge in LA a few weeks ago as Ryan was deejaying. But everyone (meaning the public) seems so happy about this. I am too and I don't know why, but all we want for these two, is to love each other forever. All the other bloggers have this warm and fuzzy feeling all over. It's written in their posts; Catt James included. Tell me who does not like them together. Come on...

Shannen Doherty Goes Green

Shannen Doherty was papped @ the Green Door in LA on Saturday (who's the big dude with her?). When was the last time she was spotted out on the town? Maybe she's always out and about and now everyone (and by that, I mean all 90210 nostalgic fans) suddenly cares again because she's heading back to the Hills of Beverly. I know I care.

Jennie Garth told TV Guide that she recently filmed her first scenes with Shannen and she was quoted as saying, "It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be." And Garth said once they got into it, "It felt like a good fit." Squeeeeeee....

And remember, while Jennie was competing on Dancing With The Stars last year, Shannen told People magazine, "She is amazing!" Squeeeeeee one more time....

Sidebar - I ran into this guy I went out with and sorta crushed on and he spotted me miles away because of my sunburn (especially the nasal area). Yeah, that was attractive.

Robert Buckley, Scott Speedman Part Deux

Robert Buckley, who plays photographer Kirby on "Lipstick Jungle" was spotted out again @ the movies (he sure likes to go a lot) earlier this week. He went to see a screening of "The House Bunny" and I'm wondering why? Who made him do that and did he actually sit through the entire film?
Doesn't he look like Scott Speedman? Wow, there's like two of them walking around.
And Dylan McDermott, who I was just talking about, was seen in front of Port Authority in New York this afternoon. I just wanted to mention that. Thanks...

Gossip Girl Season 1 DVD - Buy.It.Now

I know you're all going to hop over to your nearest DVD retailer to purchase the 1st season of Gossip Girl! Wait, that must just be me. Les is coming, hold on...

(Minutes later)...
Okay, where was I? Oh yeah, c'mon, you know you want to relive the following:

The love story of socialite, reformed party girl Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively) and Brooklyn bred writer, Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley).

Blair Waldorf's (Leighton Meester) constant battle with not only her Queen B status, but herself.

The family scandal that Nate Archibald (Chace Crawford) endures as well as his torn feelings for Serena and Blair. And Vanessa?

Vanessa Abrams' (Jessica Szhor) secret love for childhood best friend, Dan.

Jenny Humphrey's (Taylor Momsen) eager rise and humiliating fall to and from the top.

Reignited sparks between Serena's mom, Lily (Kelly Rutherford) and Dan and Jenny's father, Rufus (Matthew Settle).

Two words: Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick).

The OMFG! moments.

And the couple that most fans truly root for? Best friends Serena and Blair, whose friendship and devotion to each other knows no boundaries.

How did I manage to come up with all that? Whew! But you know what? All that I mentioned above goes to the crapper because season 2 (Sept 1) is supposed to crank it up a devilish notch.
Blair: "Everything was cool, until I found out you had sex with my boyfriend"

Dan: "I love you because you can be with someone like me and still be friends with someone like Blair"

Chuck: "I say, let's get the bitch"

Serena: "Because she has that tape of me and she'll use it! It's practically a snuff film"

Nate: "I'm taking the subway"

Jenny: "You think you can just send me off in a plaid skirt and a metro card"

The cast on Aug 16th in the Hamptons celebrating their upcoming 2nd season

And a special note to my Buster: Are you trying to hurt me? You should cancel that NetFlix order. If you end up liking it, they'll for sure be canceled this season.
Nah, I hope you enjoy it (as I'm nervously typing). I'm prone to Serena which naturally means you'll probably be prone to Blair. You'll have to let me know.
Signed, (the other) Buster...

Gangsta's Paradise

"As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's not much left
coz I've been blastin and laughin so long, that
even my mama thinks that my mind is gone
but I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
me be treated like a punk you know that's unheard of..."


"Tell me why are we, so blind to see
That the ones we hurt, are you and me
been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise..."


Now that song can get out of my head...

Hellooooo, Matthew Fox

Dr. Shephard is making bank. Not Dr. Derek Shepherd, but Jack Shephard aka Matthew Fox. The powers that be upped Fox's salary to $225,000 an episode. That's like a lot of money, yeah? He probably wasn't making that much as older brother Charlie Salinger during his Party of Five days eons ago. But then again his dialogue wasn't as exciting on 5; he was discussing nubbly blankets with Kirsten. Speaking of Paula Deviqu (I may have spelled her fancy name wrong), have you seen her lately? Not looking too good. I think she's on Rescue Me or some other cable program. But back to Lost, new episodes will start airing in early 2009. Seems kinda far off...

Ouch! Don't Look @ Me...

So I got a really bad sunburn over the weekend. Down to the top of my chest. Damn v-neck sweater! I don't mind really; it's all good though. It was worth it.

Twilight Comes Closer

The just vacated November 21st Harry Potter release date was just snapped up by none other than the highly anticipated "Twilight" movie. Potter was pushed back to the summer of 2009. Now fans of Twilight, starring Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, are probably going to have to change their December set plans to the new date. But hey, you guys will get to feed your obsession weeks earlier.

Sidebar - I opened my stash of cookies earlier and took a huge bite. When I peered closer in the bag, I discovered ants! Aarrghh! I ate an ant! Maybe more!

Leo & Kate...Together Again

This December marks the reunion of Titanic co-stars Leonardo DiCaprio and the awesome Kate Winslet in the film, "Revolutionary Road." Winslet's husband, Sam Mendes directed the movie and it's about a married couple living on autopilot who question if this is what they really want in their 30's.
Can you believe Titanic was like a decade ago? Winslet was in her early 20's and she still looks the same today. And she so should have gotten that Academy Award for Best Actress (Helen Hunt, where are you?)!

I for one am very much looking forward to this movie.

Edward Cullen, Is That You?

Robert Pattinson was out clubbing last night @ Les Deux. And he wore that shirt to an event some weeks back. Unless you've been living under a rock, you all know that Pattinson will playing Lestat, oops! wrong vampire. He'll be portraying Edward Cullen to Kristen Stewart's "Bella." Am I getting that part right, Twilight gang? During filming, Stewart was only allowed on set no more than 5 hours a day since she was not 18 yet. So the director said that was proving difficult as she is in almost every scene. Is she really? Luckily, her birthday did come around during the shoot and they jacked up her hours big time.

Here is Sir Pattinson @ the Comic-Con convention last July.

And speaking of Les Deux, that is/was The Hills' Lauren Conrad and company's fave spot. I was reading a comment in Entertainment Weekly about Conrad's feature cover on the magazine recently. The reader said he'd rather stare @ a blank piece of paper than read her issue. Classic! I laughed so hard last night little drummer girl was like, "Hey! What's so funny?!"

The Practice

The grievance I have is that they fired almost the entire cast of The Practice and then spun off Boston Legal dissolving the original. Even Dylan McDermott got the ax. That was unfortunate. Oh, Dylan McDermott. Where is he now (besides going off and getting divorced) that his latest venture back into the small screen fizzled last year? What was the name of that unsuccessful program? My mind has been going blank on me lately and frankly, I'm not liking it. So if anyone can tell me, I'll buy you a coke (a sukar coke). I know that Michael Vartan co-starred with Dylan. See, that's who Jennifer Aniston should set her sights on. Either of those two! They're both so WOW! She should just try, just try. Unless she has already and they turned her down.


Back to The Practice; I remember when me and Dental Mommy were so into this show. She referred to Dylan as "helmet head" cuz his hair was so tightly shaped and structured. We even went to Camryn Manheim's book signing in Menlo Park! What's that about? I'll show you pictures.

Serena And Blair Catfight


Looks like two BFFers (my Kelly and Brenda version for the 21st century) are coming to blows in the not so distant future. Gossip Girl stars Blake Lively and Leighton Meester were filming scenes in Brooklyn on Thursday for the upcoming and much anticipated (probably by me only) second season (which begins Sept 1). This scene takes place in the 5th or 6th episode. Lively's "Serena" character will be going in a different direction and will be hanging out with a new friend named "Poppy" who will probably cause friction with current BFF, "Blair" played by Meester. For those who may have read the books, Aaron Rose, who has yet to be cast, is set to appear in episode 7 or 8, but I gather he isn't going to be portrayed on screen the way he is in print. But Serena will be dating him, just like she did in the book version. Check out more pics of their cat scratching below as well as them laughing prior to getting down. Did Serena really pull off Blair's sacred headband? Oh, and Eric gets a boyfriend.

First Look @ Brenda And Kelly On 90210

I'm having a mini conniption here. There's a 90210 promo out from ET that features a glimpse of Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth onscreen as Brenda and Kelly, BFF's. AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Take a look and squeal with me!

Googly Eyes, My Guitar Hero

So I'm trying to tackle this Guitar Hero concept diddy since Googly Eyes leaves his @ the casa. Each day I come closer to achieving rock stardom. Fine! I haven't even made it to medium yet, but I'm trying, I'm trying. I'm stuck on Boston's "More Than A Feeling" and that Joan Jett song. Googly Eyes is really good and he has all these smooth moves while playing. Amazing! I will delve into Rock Band as well. You'll see...

And in local San Fran morning radio news, Alice @ 97.3 is coming close to being how it was before now that Kathy is back doing traffic. First Vinnie, then Kathy; now what about Uzette (she's also doing traffic in the PM) leaving 99.7 to produce the morning show once again? Sarah and Vinnie! Yay!

Natalie Portman, Director

Queen Amidala was in Malibu last Sunday shopping with a friend. Boyfriend Devendra Banhart was nowhere to be seen. Maybe he was shampooing his beard. The Venice Film Festival will be screening Natalie's 17 minute directorial debut, "Eve" next month. And she has a vegan shoe line. And her ex-boyfriend Gael Garcia Bernal is having a baby with his girlfriend. And her NYC condo is for sale. And I think her gangsta music video ("We love you Natalie; I wanna f*** you too!") for Saturday Night Live a few years ago was one of the best skits ever.

Maybe Jen Dumped John


John Mayer was spotted jetting out of LAX on Wednesday and he didn't look chipper like he usually is. What gives? Some say that Jennifer Aniston was the one who dumped him because she found out he was getting nuk-nuk from some assistant on his tour and even a random groupie chic. If that's the case, then that's a little yuck-o. And why is he giving that sad vibe look? Oh, Mayer. He looks really hot now so that's a positive for him.


I'm listening to Band of Horses right now. Try them out; they're an indie rock band from Seattle. Little drummer girl sings "The General Specific" so good. She picks up my music with a quickness.

Grant Show's Up On Private Practice

Grant Show is set to guest star on Private Practice this fall as Addison's older brother. Show is currently on the air on a day I do not know. I do know the name of the show though; Swingtown. And yes, it is about swingers. He has that 70's look going on. He was hot with Heather Locklear (who's dating "Peter Burns") on Melrose Place, bland with Courtney Thorne-Smith, and dated Laura Leighton in real life who eventually married another Melrose co-star, Doug Savant, currently on Desperate Housewives with Marcia Cross who played psycho Kimberly. Whoo! Hi-Five!

But back to Grant Show; who saw him guest star on Dirt? Didn't he have that scene where his trainer was blowing him while lifting weights? Cover your eyes!

Winona Ryder Stays Cool

Where has Winona Ryder been hiding these days? Do enough people care? Maybe so. She has been filming movies this year. She wrapped The Private Lives of Pippa Lee recently and here she is on set for her current gig, Stay Cool.I think she may be trying to relive her Lucas days. Isn't this how she looked (hair wise) in that movie? She is aging nicely, I must admit.

Sadly, she broke up with her musician boyfriend, Blake Sennett. That's unfortunate. Maybe her and "Rae Rae" Green can get together and have sangria since "Rae Rae" also broke up with her musician boyfriend, John Mayer.

What was Winona's character's name on Heather's? It's bugging me. I know I can easily look it up but I'll torture myself by wracking my brain. I keep thinking Angela but I know that's not it.

Corn nuts, anyone?

Jennifer Aniston Dumped Again?

Rumor has it that Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer are no longer dating. Oh, what happened? No wonder she didn't go to Mexico with him last week. And maybe that's why the JA's been surrounding herself with her girlfriends. But on the flip side, the New York Daily News and The Enquirer (they're possibly becoming semi reliable due to their John Edwards investigation) are reporting that she's already dating someone new. Who could it be? She dropped off her dogs @ her assistant's house on Tuesday, which means she's heading for somewhere.

Here I go eating bunches and bunches of cherries again...

Blake Lively - Cosmopolitan Cover Girl

So Serena van der Woodsen, oops, I meant Gossip Girl star Blake Lively was interviewed for the latest issue of Cosmopolitan and I discovered she hand writes like a little girl and seems to have an obsession with food and lychee mochi. She's only kissed 3 guys in real life and says she's the happiest she's ever been now. But what happens if and when Penn Badgley and her break up and she goes out with some other dude? She'll be the happiest she's ever been...again. One thing about Blake, she always seems to be effortlessly put together. Do you think she did have a nose job though?

And this issue has all the answers for all when it comes to all these sex positions. Dang! The lady was going though this yesterday and she asked me why so many topics on sex in this magazine? I said, "Lady, stick to your filipino magazines."

Britney Spears is OK!

Britney Spears and her two kids, Sean and Jayden are on the cover of OK! Magazine. This is her first sit down in like two years. Are you going to run out and buy the magazine right now? Get me some licorice if you go.

Zac Efron's "alleged" girlfriend, Vanessa Hudgens is being sued for $5 million dollars! Dude! That's hella money! I didn't bother finding out the exact deets. Maybe someone can fill me in.

Robert Buckley @ The FlatIron

Lipstick Jungle co-stars Lindsay Price and (my new boyfriend) Robert Buckley were in the Flatiron District on Tuesday shooting scenes. Is he a regular now? I thought Kim Raver's character broke up with him last season to stay with her husband. Have you seen some of their scenes together? Wow! He's all into her cougarness. Andrew McCarthy (Blaine! from PIP) is on this show too and he looks really good!

And the Starbucks coffee I waited in line for earlier? Yeah, it's giving me a stomachache now. C'mon, us coffee drinkers know that happens most of the time, right?

Sophia Bush Filming and Flying

Sophia Bush was snapped by fans in North Carolina on Tuesday shooting scenes for the upcoming season of One Tree Hill with her co-star who plays Millicent (and Mouth's girlfriend). I just found out that a big reason why this show is on is because they are endorsed heavily by sponsors, like Sunkist. And they also play some of the best music on this show, but I'm not down for what they put on their soundtracks.

Bush was then seen arriving @ LAX yesterday and waiting hella long for her luggage to arrive after being delayed a couple of hours. She seemed more frustrated than cranky. I wonder if she's nice in person. Do you know?
Also, I waited in line a long time this morning @ Starbucks. Plus, my associates ask me what's different about my hair. Is it different?

Jennie Garth Bummed, Shannen Doherty Keeping Mum

So the CW network stated that there currently isn't a deal with Tori Spelling @ the moment as far as an appearance on 90210. Entertainment Weekly contacted Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty for comments and Jennie expressed "bummed" feelings and added she hasn't spoken to "T" yet. Shannen just said that they got the numbers wrong in the first place and that was all from her. She didn't mention Tori. For shame! I was hoping for them to don their "Addicted to Love" dresses and then sing back up for root problem Emily Valentine on "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do." I've read some sides where Kelly and Brenda seem to be disagreeing already and that they may be crushing on the same teacher @ West Beverly. Why?

How I Met Your Mother, Sarah Chalke

If you don't watch CBS' How I Met Your Mother, you should (Alyson Hannigan has one of TV's best wardrobe). It's really funny and does moderately well in the ratings. I've watched it from the very beginning, so I can tell you all about it if you're interested. But Sarah Chalke (Scrubs' Elliott), who plays lead character, Ted's girlfriend, is coming back for 4 of the new season's first 6 episodes and the producers are actually toying with the idea of making her the "mother". Bravo, I say. Chalke has come a long way from being Becky #2 on Roseanne. She's gotten so much better @ acting and it shows in Mother as well as Scrubs. She wears Hanes underwear.
Michael Phelps is kicking ass in the Olympics. He's won how many gold medals now? He'll be all over the talk show circuit upon completion.
It's new releases Tuesday. Here are my picks; Smart People and Warlords are out on DVD. Television series' also out on DVD are Prison Break (3rd season), South Park (11th season), and the 1st season of Caroline in the City. I know you'll all be running to your nearest Best Buy to purchase that last one. Why did I watch that, too? Maybe because it was part of the unstoppable Thursday night lineup in the 90's. As far as Cd's, Lil Wayne and Nelly have released discs and the soundtrack to Star Wars: The Clone Wars is available today. The Cure also has The Perfect Boy/Without You released today as well as San Francisco Days by dreamy Chris Isaak.

Tropic Thunder premiered last night in LA and the stars and then some came out in support. Tom Cruise
Alicia Silverstone was there. Remember Miss Match?
Ed Helms and John Krasinski partnered up

I just got a brain freeze. Ouch!

Meredith and Derek will be living together on the new season of Grey's Anatomy. Yay! I hope they make her hair better and not have it look all nappy and nubbly like last season. And the Callie/Erica storyline will be played out. I think Yang and McSteamy should become roommates.

I'm wearing a dress.

Is Rihanna ("ella, ella, ella") really going out with Chris Brown? Weren't they in Barbados or the Bahamas a few days ago? I think they were spotted shopping yesterday.
Sienna Miller was crying @ the gas station in Malibu yesterday cuz the paps were hounding her. "I just want to get gas!" she yelled. Whatevs. She's kinda icky, no?

Where is that boyfriend of mine that sells the boxes of strawberries down the street from where I'm employed?

Taco Tuesday!

Kelly Rutherford aka Megan Mancini

I am this close to falling over the side of my chair. I'm having a bit of vertigo going on @ the moment. I was going to ask Les if I can just go home but I'm trying to stick it out. That may be a bad idea though.

Ben Stiller's new movie is going to be protested or boycotted due to issues dealing with certain disabilities portrayed in the film? Hmmm...

I need my Inderal. Walgreens better pull through for me and get my prescription filled.

Kelly Rutherford was spotted back on the set of Gossip Girl this morning shooting scenes with TV daughter, Blake Lively. Rutherford either asked for more time off or she was rumored to have suffered some sort of breakdown. The former seems to be the reason (hopefully). They look good together as mother and daughter. Remember when she was on Melrose Place? She was likeable on there even though she initially played a prostitute. She's not even 40. Aahh, Melrose Place. One of the best theme songs in my playbook. Also spotted on set, naturally, Penn Badgley, Leighton Meester (dressed hella nice), and Ed Westwick. No Chace Crawford; he was coming back from Texas.

Jake Gyllenhaal, is that you?

Okay, continuing my 90210 countdown; what's this I hear about Tori Spelling possibly not making an appearance after all as Donna Martin (maybe Silver)? Sources say Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty are making way more money ($30,000 - $50,000 an episode) than her ($10,000 - $15,000) and she wants to be compensated equally. Really, Tori? I don't know. I don't think she'd have as many scenes and storylines as the other two. She should think back to when she was hawking her jewelry on HSN. T (LOL, as jobless hubby, Dean refers to her) should still do it.

Let's share some pudding...


Aahh, Monday, Monday...

Julianne Moore, Nice Lady?

So I was going through footage of different celebrities signing autographs for fans and autograph dealers and surprisingly, the A list celebs were cooler than the D and Z listers. Adam Sandler took pictures and made small talk while Brooke Hogan (yeah, who?) said she could only sign one each since she had to go to work. Meryl Streep signed a bunch and yet Molly Ringwald commented she "could only sign 2" and that was it. And to think I was a little bummed I didn't catch her in Sweet Charity last year. Julianne Moore, who is really a hella good actress (yay Marlene from Hand That Rocks the Cradle!) signed and signed and was actually looking @ the type of pictures the fans had of her. And there was Adrienne Barbeau (she played Maude's daughter, right? I actually even watched reruns of that eons ago!) who could only sign a few as well. I just thought it was funny since there weren't even huge crowds for Hogan, Ringwald and Barbeau. There were like 10 or less.

If you get a chance, download Death Cab for Cutie's song, "The Ice Is Getting Thinner." It's so beautiful and yet really sad. It's the best breakup song out there. Also, anything by Kate Havnevik, Justin Timberlake, and yes I'll say it, Nicole Scherzinger's "Happily Never After." But the song that's constantly playing in my head is "7 Things" by Miley Cyrus, thanks to little drummer girl's obsession with that track.

And my Brenda Walsh watch has officially begun. Shannen Doherty reported to the set for the first time on Thursday, August 7 to begin shooting her multi episode stint on 90210. Jennie Garth said last week that her character, Kelly Taylor will be in almost every episode. Shaaaa! You just know she'll get that "Special Guest Star" added to her name on the opening credits.
I just finished eating a pound and a half of cherries. That can't be good.

Sunday sets...

Will I Look Any Different?

I was set to start my day early with all these errands I have to get done before next week. That didn't happen. I haven't been feeling good these last few days and decided to sleep it off and relax. I feel a little better.

So John Edwards admitted to an affair with that Hunter woman a couple of years ago. He also says he isn't the father of her little girl and is willing to take a paternity test. Edwards also states he is no longer seeing this woman. Then why did the National Enquirer of all publications catch him last month in the Los Angeles area visiting her and her baby late one night? That isn't good. I read the Enquirer's account and it was pretty juicy. His wife, Elizabeth has already vowed to stand by Edwards. She probably wouldn't if he wasn't in politics though. This should play out in the media for a while.

I came across this old photo of the Dawson's Creek cast back in their heyday. They sure have come a long way. James Van Der Beek has been married like 5 years and guested on, I wanna say, Ugly Betty. Joshua Jackson is dating Diana Kruger and has a new show coming out. And we all know what's up with Michelle Williams and the other lady.

I'm going to get a haircut and deep condition in San Fran now. Maybe I'll go for a new look? And then afterwards, off to get mildly intoxicated.

Bones, Bones, Bones

Nice blog, Junior Sibling. I dug the grievance portion. And that is the last of my sibs to post. All will be back I'm sure and I'm hoping for others to join in on the commentary.

The Olympics in China got underway early this morning (8pm China time) with a spectacular opening ceremony. President Bush was on hand for the festivities. It will be going on all weekend and then some on NBC.

Two big movies opened on Wednesday instead of today; Pineapple Express with Seth Rogan and James Franco and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. Both did impressive numbers on their first day. Express took in $12 mil and Sisterhood did a modest $5.7 mil.
I took my final last night (I think I may have bombed it) and why did I sorta get lost going home? Maybe I was in a daze thinking about how badly I did. Anyway, I ended up having to go around and taking the bridge. What's with me?

Jewel married her longtime boyfriend, rodeo champion Ty Murray in the Bahamas on Thursday. They have been together like 10 years. Wow! Hands down, "This Way" is her best song ever IMHO.
Out in New York City yesterday, Katie Holmes and a very well dressed Suri Cruise out and about. Katie sure dresses her up just to go to the park to get dirty and stuff. I like to put little drummer girl in a ball gown when I take her to the park. And Jennifer Aniston was furniture shopping in West Hollywood with some of her randoms and then put on a dress later in the evening to go have dinner with friends. Where's the Mayer?

Bones is set to have its season premiere on August 25th (not too far off) and Booth and Brennan are supposed to get horizontal soon.
I love my Blackberry. Yet I can't seem to part with my Palm Pilot, which I still constantly use. Is that pretty much obsolete nowadays?

You know who's really good looking? Damien Fahey, host of MTV's TRL. I know, they still have TRL? And I thought I saw John Norris reporting on something. He's still there. What about Kurt Loder? What about MTV playing videos?

Tickets for Carrie Underwood's concert on Nov 15th @ the Oracle Arena went on sale this past Monday. On Sunday, tickets for Ray Lamontagne (his song "Within You" is so beautiful) on Nov 13 and Alanis Morissette on Nov 17 become available. Both are playing the Paramount Theatre in Oakland. Also on Sunday, Jason Mraz tickets go on sale for his Greek Theatre show on Nov 02.

I'm hearing that Shannen Doherty won't be making her re-appearance as Brenda Walsh on 90210 until the 4th or 5th episode. That'll give me enough time to search for my dolls, pillows, and Brenda poster from my archives. Should I have a viewing party, I expect you to be there with me for that special moment. I'll buy food and boxed wine!
Gosh, I've had this ongoing headache for days! And I know you're all wondering which sibling I am. We have Master, Junior and Younger Siblings. And then there's me, Catt James aka Sexy Sibling. Please, stop laughing. I can hear you through cyberspace. Fine, I'll settle for Female Sibling...

Are you having a laugh?

So “BOOM” (my nickname for Diamond Girl) has been visiting me lately. It’s so odd, when I’m driving home at night the backlight on my phone turns on showing me the wallpaper picture I have of her. There she is staring right at me with her big brown eyes, so I end up talking to her for a little bit. I know it sounds crazy, but why in the hell would my damn phone keep doing that. It’s never happened before…..yeah it can be some kind of electrical issue, but I’m sticking to my guns and saying it’s the little lady saying HI DADDY! We actually have been experiencing some paranormal activity at the house too. Doors creaking open, voices heard, G-Bert barking at nothing, my specs being moved by itself, shadows and light beams in form of a little girl in the hallway…….stuff like that. Nothing scary though…….it’s just our little “Bodyguard” BOOM!

The “Twihards” went to the Midnight release party for Stephenie Meyer’s new book, Breaking Dawn, last Friday. It was pretty funny to see other fans of this phenomenon. Mostly teen girls, some older ladies, a few dudes. There were some that dressed up and some that made t-shirts. All were pretty lame except for 2 shirts of course (you know who I’m talking about). There was a girl with plastic forks taped all over her body for god’s sake……come on now! She won best costume thanks to us……we cheered for that hopeless young lady. Overall it was a fun experience, mainly due to the people I was with. 500 pages to go…..no spoilers please! "BILLY BLACK!!" Maybe I’ll be him for Halloween this year…..wheelchair and all, except mine will have rims.

I hate loud talkers on BART, especially ones on their cell phones. Thanks, now I know what you did last night and where you’re going on vacation, all I need is your SS# and your address and I’m set! Another thing that bugs the S**T out me are people that stand on the left side on BART station escalators. There’s an unwritten rule you know, standers to the right. Every morning there’s an unknowing fool that clogs up the up side, “move aside douche I got to get to work, I’m late……..again!”

Not all is annoying with BART. I do get a kick out of a few things. Like when I see someone racing down the escalator or stairs because they hear a train getting ready to leave. Seeing it’s their train to catch, they run even faster towards the doors – then BAM! the doors closes. “Aw that’s too bad they missed their train”….that always puts a smile on my face! Don’t know why I’m amused by this, maybe it’s the effort or the looks on their faces when they don’t make it……”jeez people relax, there’s another one coming in 10 minutes”.

I've noticed that bad drivers are usually.......................................on their cell phones. Ha! You thought I was going to say something else huh? Like an ethnic race that begins with a "C"...........Nope can't do it, that just won't be right.....


Yes it’s true. G-Bert is growing into a “woman”. We had to leave her training session last night because of it. The trainers told me that she couldn’t be there because she was “in season”. I said “she’s in season? What is she, a sweater?” Anyways, we have to wait 3 weeks until we can go back.

“Are you having a laugh? Is she having a laugh?”

eeps to my very own “Bella” and to Mop Head. I miss you Boom……

Sing Me A Lullaby

The Olympics are starting this Friday, aren't they? 08/08/08...

I took a quick cat nap a little while ago and it's only made me more tired.

Seeing this picture of Robert Buckley woke me up a little. He was at a screening for Pineapple Express in New York City. Buckley is currently co-starring in Lipstick Jungle with Brooke Shields, Kim Raver, and Lindsay Price. He was probably one of the reasons this show didn't get canceled. I can't say the same for Cashmere Mafia. Another show I watched that only lasted half a season.
Justin Timberlake and girlfriend Jessica Biel were photographed last night after having dinner @ Katsuya in LA. You just know 'N Sync will reunite and tour eventually.
The Backstreet Boys are putting out another album. Does anyone know why? Their previous one didn't do so well. Maybe they should stop trying for a while and give their 5 fans time to miss them.

I've been saying this forever already. Doesn't Bernadette Peters look like Jacklyn Zeman from General Hospital? Can you tell which one is which? I know you don't care but it's just something I thought I'd bring up.

Executive producer Mark Wahlberg will be making an appearance on Entourage this coming season. He's come a long way from "Good Vibrations".
Are Johnny Gill and Bobby Brown really performing together on cruise ships?

Little drummer girl sang me a lullaby last night to try and get me to sleep. It must of worked in her favor since she fell asleep before I did. Maybe I should watch "Glitter" to try and help me get to sleep @ night.

Go on and blog, Junior Sibling!

Alexis Bledel All Over New York

Another grievance I have is that the Gilmore Girls ended a season too early. They were so close to continuing last year when the CW decided to just pull it. Where is Lauren Graham now? What happened to Hep Alien? Luckily, Alexis Bledel (Rory Gilmore) has continued to act in films. Nothing blockbuster but still, she's a hella good actress and she isn't like all those other typical celebrities. Currently Bledel is in New York filming The Good Guy and she was snapped on set Monday.

Here's America Ferrera and Alexis leaving the TRL studios Monday after taping a segment to promote their film, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2.




Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher were in Tokyo promoting their film, What Happens in Vegas. Why?




Here's Chace Crawford, Leighton Meester, Penn Badgley, and Blake Lively sitting together @ the Teen Choice Awards (that's Chad Michael Murray's fiance in the white dress behind them). Blake and Penn were spotted @ Sprinkles (she bought like 3 dozen cupcakes; was is it all for her?) in Beverly Hills earlier that day and the paps had the gall to ask them if they went on double dates with Chace and Ed Westwick. Their reaction was pretty funny.
And here's Bladgley with Sophia Bush. I guess it isn't awkward with her ex-husband Chad and his girl since Sophia walked right in front of them to greet Blake. Doesn't Sophia look way better than Kenzie (Chad's fiance)?

Here's David Beckham and Zac Efron @ the Teen Choice Awards. David brought his kids on stage to accept his award and then little Cruz started break dancing. He's like 3.

What is this?

Last night in LA, Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz were @ the premiere for Vicky Cristina Barcelona and here they are @ the after party.

On the DVD front, Nim's Island, Get Smart Season 1, and Family Ties (4th season) are out today. Oh, Family Ties (Mallor-yyyyy!!!). That was on Thursdays right before Cheers. I didn't see anything major as far as CD releases unless you count Whitesnake's 30th Anniversary Collection a must have. Maybe there'll be a poster enclosed of Tawny Kitaen.

Googly Eyes was so cute yesterday. He told me how his and Diamond's little dog, Gilbert (yes, the dog is a girl and that is her name) is becoming a woman if you catch my drift. And poor little drummer girl keeps thinking she'll see October soon. I keep telling her that dog is dunzo (not literally, she just got sent back).

Weather not so good here in the south bay.

It's time to go to Walgreens.

Have a terrific Tuesday!

It's Time...To Dance

Why do I have insomnia? It's been going on for weeks now and I'm extremely tired and groggy during the day, when I have to be working hard.

Here's news that may not be interesting. Kathy Griffin and former Vice President Dan Quayle were approached to be contestants on Dancing with the Stars and they both declined.

Madonna was back in her turf in Michigan over the weekend to screen her film, "I Am Because We Are." She's been looking all gaunt lately.

While Scarlett Johansson was @ the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday, her husband to be, Ryan Reynolds was all decked for a meeting in Beverly Hills.

Dude, JetBlue will be charging $7 for an eco-friendly pillow and blanket. You know the day will soon come when peanuts will cost you $1.50.
We all know that gas prices are high and it's nice to discover a station with a lower price, but Costco ain't that much cheaper than everybody else. I always see the line extending to Oregon whenever I pass by my local Costco. I wonder what's so special about their fuel.

In local San Francisco radio news, the Sarah and Vinnie Morning Show is back once again on 97.3 and I think I'm going to start listening again. Gosh, everything old is new again! New Kids on the Block is touring, leggings have made a comeback, 90210 will be airing again, Boys II Men sang @ a Six Flags, I saw a lady with pumped hair @ the mall...

The final four face off this week on So You Think You Can Dance. Supposedly, two of them got sick and were taken to the hospital this past weekend, but which two had not been revealed.
It's just another Manic Monday...

Teen Choice

I better pass this Managerial Accounting class I'm currently taking. I've studied my butt off the last three days. How bummed I'll be if I'm less than stellar. Thursday is the final and the end.

F-mont had its annual arts and wine festival this weekend; I think. I overheard the grocery checker asking the customer in front of me how it went. I knew I should've gone. Wine! Hula kuya checked it out.


People unveiled their cover of Brad and Angelina's twins earlier. Shiloh does look adorable holding her baby sister. Oh, Shiloh...

David Beckham will be appearing on Sesame Street's 39th season premiere on August 11th. His LA Galaxy team played our local San Jose Earthquakes. Who won?



Oh, to be a teen again. And to look forward to the Teen Choice awards. They're currently going on in LA right now and will be broadcast Monday, August 4th @ 8pm on FOX. Miley Cyrus is hosting.

Here's Rainn Wilson from The Office.
The Jonas Brothers (I haven't heard one song from this trio. Are they the new Hanson?).
It's Scarlett Johansson.
Chad Michael Murray of One Tree Hill fame.
Look, it's Brian Austin Green (just come back David Silver).
Of course, Gossip Girl won something.
And so did Will Smith.
Steve Carell for TV actor.
Chad Michael Murray and Leighton Meester.
Ooh, Channing Tatum.
Darn, my nail just broke in half. Band-aid time.

I gotta go. I gotta go.

I Gotta Cut Loose, Footloose

Last night I was @ a restaurant in the south bay and the oddest thing happened to me in the ladies room. As I was in the clean enough stall; all of a sudden, BAM! The toilet seat came off and landed on the floor leaving me in such an awkward position that I literally had to maneuver myself because I wasn't even done yet. I didn't want spillage on the floor on top of the messed up seat lying there on the ground (BTW, I was only going #1). I just hurried it up and got the hell out of there. And there was another girl in there with me and she didn't even ask if I was okay. It was a ceramic seat so it was a pretty loud thud. I can get myself in some pretty strange predicaments.

Anyhoo...So Katie Holmes is in New York prepping for her stage debut in Arthur Miller's "All My Sons". Previews begin on Sept 18th and she co-stars with Patrick Wilson, John Lithgow, and Dianne Wiest. And speaking of John Lithgow and Dianne Wiest, remember they played Lori Singer's parents on Footloose starring Kevin Bacon? I knew you'd remember. Dianne had that scary look going on in Footloose with the dark hair slicked and tied in a bun. She's a hella good actress.

Robert Pattinson was out @ Sunset Boulevard in LA last night for a Sidekick party for Tony Hawk. Pattinson will star as Edward Cullen in the much anticipated Twilight movie out in December.

Here is a very nice fan made movie poster for Twilight.
Oh, do you know what your credit score is?

Saturday night. Sat-ur-day ni-ght...

Angels In Chains

Younger Sibling gave us a very intelligent and riveting blog. Well done! I know many folks would enjoy more posts such as his in the future.

And now back to my mundane thoughts. But hey, just like Younger Sibling pointed out, rambling don't hurt nobody.

So I was channel surfing and came across Jacklyn Smith's reality show about hairstylists, Shear Genius. One of their tasks was to update the hairstyles of the 3 original Charlie's Angels and Kate Jackson was a guest judge. It was pretty awesome. Charlie's Angels
was one of the best shows ever. Hands down, Angels in Chains was the best episode. Sorry Beamish. I believe Charlie's Angels came on right after Eight is Enough on Wednesday's, right Master Sibling? Oh, to start watching prime time TV @ four years old.

I'm eating skittles.

The Mummy and Swing Vote are both out today and John Mellencamp is playing somewhere in the bay area this weekend.

On Grey's Anatomy, Izzie will not be getting that brain tumor storyline as rumored and nurse Rose will be back. And there's a possibility that Kelly Taylor (Jennie Garth) will have a 4 year old child on 90210. Who's the daddy?

Chace Crawford landed @ LAX on Thursday as he is scheduled to appear on the Teen Choice Awards with Leighton Meester on Monday. Blake Lively and Penn Badgley went walking through the Meatpacking District on Wednesday and Taylor Momsen (so skinny) and Jessica Szohr were strolling earlier this week by the STK restaurant in NYC.






Rachel McAdams was spotted cheering ex-boyfriend Ryan Gosling on as he spun tunes @ the Green Door in LA on Tuesday. Is there hope for these two? I was just talking about them.


John Mayer looks all buffed out.
That One Night by The Hunted. Best non existing CD to ever not be released. C'mon, you know what I'm talking about. The Office! Great show. Brilliant almost. 30 Rock is also great. Catch that if you can as well as The New Adventures of Old Christine ("My dad called me frizz"). Oh, Elaine Benes. Julia Louis Dreyfus (who looks like someone I know) is really petite. I've seen some of her character's wardrobe displayed @ the Warner Bros. studios.

Mervyn's filed for bankruptcy but don't plan on closing any stores.

The making of the Wonder Woman movie is being revisited again. Jessica Biel, Rachel Bilson, or Megan Fox in the role; who should it be?

How are you, Pretty P?

I think I'll have some vodka, cranberry juice, and a splash of sprite after work. Let the weekend commence!
