So… Palais… Where The Fuck Are Those AI Recaps?

Yeah, about that…
I missed this week’s shows. I’ve been struck with a nasty sinus infection and chest cold simultaneously.  I slept through the shows. But I can say this- I knew Madame Lambert would get through, and what I’ve seen of Allison- I approve.

Well, Ben Button will not be going home empty handed ( fears were it would be the most nominated loser in Oscar history). It takes the Art Direction award ( deservedly- it’s gorgeous to look at). Costume design goes to The Duchess, another deserved award ( those costumes are astonishing).
Daniel Craig makes a funny! The [...]

Oscars! Live Blog Part One

First off, Hugh Jackman was hilarious right off the bat, and that medley made my girls and I laugh for serious long stetch. ( Personal fave- having to mention Brad and Angie a minimum of five times). He’s also incredibly hot.
I’m also liking this new system of honoring the performers and performances. You pull out [...]

American Idol Top 36 Part One: or Crash and Burn Night In Hollywood

First, RyRy’s introduction of Paula Abdul gave me an enormous sigh of relief- thank God there is only one Paula Abdul. Second, the new (old) format still doesn’t sit right with me, as it doesn’t allow for growth. Third, I want whatever Paula’s taking.

So, from the bottom of my Owen Wilson adoring heart, Kate Hudson, go away. Far away. For forever. And Owen, sit down and write something. It’s good for the soul.

R&R- The Big Bang Theory 2-15 ” The Maternal Capacitance”

Think about Friends and the two primary love stories that happened on that show. Both the Ross and Rachel dynamic and the Monica and Chandler dynamic had the underlying foundation of friendship.
