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.

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!
