Project Runway Season 8 Episode 6: Cereal Box Wisdom from Gretchen


It’s time to see the aftermath of  Project Runway’s last episode. It was full of CRAY CRAY (to quote Valerie.) In season 8 episode 6 we  have some delicious betrayal, savvy sabotage, a rockin’ Mohawk on Andy South (who should wear less make-up, don’t you think?), and lots more!

Gretchen, of course, will be there to cure everything with her wise words of Cereal box wisdom, a la: “A scar can turn into an open wound if you don’t let it heal.” See that, people? She’s not just a designer, she’s a doctor. She can do any profession that starts with a “D.” I even hear she’s an excellent domino’s player.

January Jones is a Pilgrim as a Project Runway Guest Judge


One of your Mad Men ladies will be gracing Project Runway as a guest judge. January Jones didn’t do well as a host on SNL, and many people questioned her Emmy dress (I can’t decide if I love or hate her futuristic Alice in Wonderland blue dress.) But now January Jones from Mad Men will be a guest judge on Project Runway. Do you think she’ll do better on this show than SNL? After all, here all she has to do is give her opinion.  (Preferably a blunt, sound-bytey one.)

Why was January Jones so Horrible on SNL? | Small Screen Scoop

But I feel tres forlorn by seeing what she’s going to be wearing on Project Runway. I’m unsure if this is the top of a dress, or just a top. Either way, it’s a LOT of detailed black (and black shows up horribly against the blue backgroup Project Runway has) on a modest-looking ensemble. She reminds me of an overdressed Pilgrim on her way to the prom. Her makeup isn’t bad, but she really should have had a pop of color on her lips to negate the conservative tone of her outfit.

Basically, January Jones is really boring the hell out of me. Liven thinks up, Jones! You’re talented, beautiful and on one of the most celebrated TV series of the past several years! This is no time to feign being a wallflower.

Kristen Bell Wears Fringe and a Smile on Project Runway


Several years ago, Kristen Bell had a stylist that let her wear things that made her look frumpy and outdated. But KB has come a long way, and now her enviable outfits match her seriously charming personality and wit. She’s become a bit of a fashion maven so it makes sense that she’s going to be a guest judge on Project Runway.

You can see Kristen Bell guest judge Project Runway on September 9th.

The Delectable Mad Men Cast Speaks on Celebrity Status, Ignorance and Vices


The special TV issue of Rolling Stone features the cast of Mad Men on the cover. In the magazine, they go behind the scenes to get to know the people on the show better, as well as the world the show lives in (right down to the detail of how a cab receipt would look in the 60’s.) The Rolling Stone cover features Elisabeth Moss, January Jones, Jon Hamm and Christina Hendricks.

The Best Scene in Mad Men ‘Waldorf Stories’ Involved Hard Work

Jon Hamm talks about celebrity status: “I fly very low on the radar. Mark Twain said it: ‘I’d rather say nothing and be thought an idiot than open my mouth and remove all doubt.’ Another Missouri boy, Mark Twain. The petulant, s**tty movie-star mentality — that burns out pretty quick.”

Elisabeth Moss talks about why she was hired: “Matt always says that he basically hired a bunch of not-famous people, but people that had been working for a really long time,” she said.

Let’s Merge: Gilmore Girls and Grey’s Anatomy!


Ah, it’s the first day of September. Time to think about crisp and colorful fall folliage, the perfect Halloween costume that’s under 50 bucks, and murders revolving around Polygamist sects!

To do so, we must merge Grey’s Anatomy (blergh!) and Gilmore Girls (yay!) Sorry, is my bias showing? My love for Grey’s Anatomy stopped after their short first season. But my love for Gilmore Girls is never-ending. It’s not obsession, it’s devotion! Wait, is that the argument employed by stalkers? … Moving on!

Let’s get down to the nitty gritty. Chyler Leigh of Grey’s Anatomy and Matt Czuchry of Gilmore Girls are teaming up with Patricia Wettig of Brothers & Sisters for a Lifetime original movie called The 19th Wife. It’s based on the New York Times best-selling novel by David Ebershoff. And yup, it’s about polygamy! (I don’t mean to be excited about the idea of polygamy. I like the show Big Love, but that’s it.)

I’m a fan of both Chyler Leigh and Matt Czuchry – so I just might watch this on one of my insomnia-ridden nights.

Tip: A hairstyle trend that’s never happening? The polygamist wife one.

What do Marc Jacobs and John Cena Have in Common?


You know Marc Jacobs for being a stylish designer, and John Cena has a really muscly, meaty wrestler who wears very little clothing as he does his wrestling thang. So, what do they have in common?

Marc Jacobs will be appearing with Vogue’s Anna Wintour and John Cena as guests on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday night. The musical guest will be Yo Gabba Gabba.

Marc Jacobs is very fun, but even thinking about Anna Wintour makes my blood start to freeze. Good luck, Jimmy!

The Most Heart-Wrenching Moment of Covert Affairs ‘What is and What Should Never Be’


There was one scene in Covert Affairs “What is and What Should Never Be” that really resonated with me as heart-wrenching. Do you think you can guess what it is, and why it was so powerfully tragic?

We finally got to see a reunion between Annie and her ex beau, Ben. But we didn’t get any tearful hugs or barrage of apologies. Instead, Ben had only resurfaced (after two years!) to ask Annie to do something for him.  Not one to let things just pass her by, Annie asked him directly with a cold stare, “So just to be clear. You’re not asking for forgiveness. You’re asking me for a favor.” She already knew the answer. But man, that was cold of Ben. And he followed it up with another bombshell.

We’ve known that Annie was hired and brought in to help catch Ben. But she never knew that. She’s talented, and figured she was seriously brought on board for her work. But Ben blew those ideas away when he told her, “Forget protocol. The agency is using you to get to me. You can’t believe anything they say about me or anything I’ve done. Do not trust Joan and Arthur.”

Kim Kardashian Wears Watercolor Body Armor on The Tonight Show


Kim Kardashian was a guest on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. She wore the oddest dress…it looked like watercolored body armor. That’s the best way to describe it. Which is an incredible turn-around from having one of the best dresses of The Emmy’s (shown below.) Luckily, close-up her dress looked good. But in the long shots it was not as attractive-looking.

On dressing for The Emmy’s:

“For The Emmy’s, I think you dress for women.”

On her Emmy’s date:

“My Mom was my date. Yea, she kinda forced that upon me. She’s really forceful when it’s a big awards show. Something fun.”

On singing at The Emmy’s:

“Yes, it was the first time I’ve sang (in public.) Thank God it was a joke. … I wasn’t (nervous.)”

The one alcoholic beverage she likes:

“It tastes like chocolate milk.” (A White Russian.)

On Justin Bieber:

“He’s a cute kid, and that’s it. For the record, I am not dating Justin Bieber, and I would not date Justin Biber.” (She clarified to say she wouldn’t because even if he was legal, she’s still much older than him. And how did I become the person to defend her? Bizarre!)

Emily Dechanel Talks about the Bones episode about The Jersey Shore


If you can’t get enough of The Jersey Shore, make sure to watch Bones season 6. One of the episodes will be playing off of The Jersey Shore phenomenon – taking note of Guidos and Guidettes. Apparently our beloved Temperance Brennan thinks The Jersey Shore is a documentary. (Priceless!) And in some ways, reality TV is sort of like that…uh, kinda!

While there had been lots of talk about Jersey Shore cast members like The Situation guest starring on Bones, it all fell through.

“We did the episode about the Jersey Shore, unfortunately we couldn’t do it with the cast,” Emily Deschanel told Pop Tarts while at the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards.

Deshanel gave some Bones season 6 spoilers: “Yes, we use the term ‘Guidos’ and ‘Guidettes’ and talk about the ones that hang out on the shore. My character is an expert on the whole subject because she watched what she thought was a documentary on the whole subject.”

Snooki’s Boyfriend Proposes on a Magazine Cover (CLASSY ALERT)


Why make a marriage proposal an intimate moment between you and your intended? Nah. Why not pop in on a cover of a sub-par magazine (have you ever heard of Steppin’ Out?), shirtless and with a floppy hat? THAT’S romance.

Snooki of The Jersey Shore is dating Jeff Miranda. He’s on the cover of Steppin’ Out with the words “Will You Marry Me?”

He tells the magazine, “I could see us having children. I want to pop the question to her. If we got married, we would be the best parents around. She’s so loving and puts everyone else before herself. She’ll be a great mother.”

“I will never break her heart,” he said. “She’s such a great girl. If people could see us together they would think we’re a match made in heaven. People think I’m using her for fame. But that’s bulls*it.” – Jeff Miranda

Best part? This magazine isn’t on shelves yet (it was first released from Radar Online.) Snooki will probably learn about the proposal from some drunk dude at a club. Second best part? From his quotes (“I want to pop the question to her” as a future action to take), it seems like Miranda wasn’t going to propose in the magazine. They probably convinced him to do it as a great PR move. Ridiculous.
