reunited and it feels so good

okay, i am well aware of the fact that i am a week late with my commentary on this, but you'll have to cut me some slack, i've been busy with some other "stuff" that i've been doing. no, i haven't started doing crack, don't worry - its not that kinda stuff.

but back to my original point, i just wanted to comment on how nice last week's episode of Lost was. i'm not gonna lie, there were some tears in my eyes during that last semi-slow-motion-non-dialogue sequence where rose is reunited with bernard, sun with jin, and my favorite - michael with vincent. i was moved. you know what i was not moved by though? ana-lucia being reunited with jack. that woman is a NUTCASE. and all they did was flirt over cocktails at a bar in the airport in australia. its not like they had sex on the plane or anything. now THAT woulda been cool.

another one bites the dust

and as quickly as it started...it's over. Talan and Kim Stewart broke off their engagement and the wedding is off. gee, didn't see this one coming at all, considering they've only been dating a few weeks. but they're still "friends." and Talan is off to pursue a music career. oh dear.

its over! for real this time!

jessica simpson and nick lachey are officially over. finito. kaput. three years of marriage and all those season of the newlyweds down the drain. bummer.

i am by no means caught up on my shows. i've been delinquent with my tv watching -- too busy chasing boys around :) but did want to share that i found out they are doing another season of Dancing With the Stars starting in january...woohoooo!

happy turkey everyone!

taylor f-ing townsend

do people like taylor townsend actually exist in this world? her character has been crafted in such an unbelievable way that i can't help but wonder where the concept of taylor townsend came from. and seriously, kidnapping captain oats? girl's got some issues to work out.

i came to the realization that 90% of my posts were about the LB, so i'm somewhat at a loss now that the season's over. christina aguilera got married, britney's on her way to broadway, and paris' boyfriend Stavros (aka i-drive-with-my-coat-over-my-face) is being blamed for trashing the Hard Rock hotel at kelly osbourne's 21st birthday party. just your average week of hooplah in tinseltown.

a whoretastic match!

crap, i can't believe i forgot... thank you j for the reminder. my brain is so fried i totally forgot that i read this in gawker today:
http://www.gawker.com/news/celebrity-weeklies/celebrity-weekly-showdown-kimberly-stewart-engaged-to-talan-of-laguna-beach-137951.php

see j's comment in below post for the link to the more politically correct cnn version.

he really likes her!

waaaah

waaaay too much crying on the season finale of LB. i don't remember being that wussy when i left for college. but you know i absolutely love this show anyway, even though LC's little cameo on MTV at the end was lame because she had ZERO personality and looked completely bored out of her mind, AND the whole "surprise" of LC's new show was also pretty lame considering we already heard about it lord knows how long ago. Did they seriously think they were going to be able to keep that a secret with cameras following LC all over LA?

anyway, i mentioned this celebrity phone tap thing with ryan cabrera and talan a long while back that they did on the radio. this is all kinds of old, but i found it online, and it is funny shit! i can't believe talan agreed to do it...

that's a wrap for now. i'm behind on my tv again. what else is new.

ricky martin on acid!

okay, how much do we love Kristin Cavallari (aka Kelly Clarkson's twin sister) getting punk'd this week? Between her friend Frankie being called names such as "Menudo" and "Ricky Martin on acid" and Ashton's LB commentary, I just didn't even know what to do with myself.

T.O. being punk'd was pretty damn good too. Most notably Ashton's commentary about TO's apology and what have you. He should thank his lucky stars Ashton is even paying him any attention after he acted like a total monkey and disgraced his team and the face of the NFL -- ms. evan, feel free to have your husband explain the TO situation to you; this particular punk is that much more entertaining when you understand what happened. The part that actually made me laugh out loud the most? The fake cop asking for T.O.'s autograph because his son is a McNabb fan. HAHA!!!

super bowl of stupidness

So surely I don’t need to tell you all that you should be watching Best Week Ever, because you ALL ALREADY KNOW that its one of the best things on television, RIGHT? So hopefully that means that you all caught that bit about TALAN hanging out with PARIS HILTON!?!? To recap for those of you that missed it (though quite frankly, I don’t see how you could considering that in addition to Best Week Ever, it was also on every single entertainment show on tv – AND cnn):

Paris Hilton, her new boyfriend Stavros, Kim Stewart and Talan Torriero get into a Bentley outside some night club in LA. Stavros attempts to drive off with a jacket over his head to hide his face from the paparazzi…and the road. He guns it and slams right into a parked truck. How did that happen? Well, its hard to drive when your VISION is cut off by the JACKET covering your FACE, don’t you think? As if this isn’t bad enough, they drive off in the dented Bentley, only to be pulled over by the cops a few blocks down the road. At this point, the cast of characters is standing outside of the car chatting with the cops and Talan says to the cops – now keep in mind Talan had been sitting in the back seat and NOT the driver’s seat – “I’m the only sober one in the car.” WHAT?!?!? Oh Talan we love you but you are an IDIOT. And of course, then by the miracle that comes along with fame, Paris blows the cops a kiss and off the kids go. No breathalizers, no tickets, no arrests, nothing. God I love Hollywood.

Video of the above can be seen here:

As for the OC, I’ve given up hope that I can watch a single episode of the show without seeing a) Ryan punch someone, and b) Marissa wearing a really insanely low-cut top with no bra on. However, Taylor Townsend’s mom telling her that her ass was not made for low riders was the funniest shit I’ve seen in a long time.

Hey people, some parting words – Evan called you a deadbeat! Did you hear that? Yeah, I’m talking to you. I don’t know who you are, but if you’re reading and not participating, you are a deadbeat reader. This is a group effort guys. I'm not here for my own health. Now what are you going to do about it?

back in the US...

what a pleasant surprise to pull up Amazing Race from my DVR list this week to discover that is was two whole hours long! what NOT a pleasant surprise to discover that the teams are already headed back to the US. Oh yes, they've been out of the US for soooo long, going to Panama and then Costa Rica. They didn't even cross any oceans for crying out loud! Lucky for me, the episodes opens with one of the hot Linz brothers stripping down to go take a swim, so no complaints there. Anyway, quick visit to a Costa rican church and a sugar cane detour, and back into the US they go and onto Arizona where there is yet another racetrack task which I'm sure is designed to try to instill some sort of sympathy for the Weaver family to balance out the extreme dislike. The Bransen sisters and Wally get to the pit stop mat last but thanks to the friendly advice of the Paolos, they are layered up for the obvious non-elimination leg.

Hour #2! Flying in little fighter jets and then a trip to the Grand Canyon (as if it weren't an obvious stop for this all-american tour). They are at the Grand Canyon for about two minutes before they are sent to some other tourist attraction and end up doing random detours consisting of either knowing how to use a compass, or being really good at scooping water. Finally they get to go via power boat to the pit stop, where the Linz' are TOTALLY RIPPED OFF and come in second place to the desperate housewives even though they should have been first. Those boats were rigged!

great party

i had a revelation watching this week's LB that everyone on the show looks like Kelly Clarkson. Which made it that much more amusing when they ended the episode playing a Kelly Clarkson song. But I think my favorite part of the episode was Kristen showing up at LC's "cocktail" party in a mini jean skirt, and then left five minutes later without even talking to LC, and taking Stephen with her. awesome.

as for LC and Jason, I'm sure everyone wants us to believe that they are over and done with, but according to Gawker.com they were recently spotted together out and about. Not the most incriminating picture, but still - it ain't over just yet guys!

gotta love those sidekicks

I'm all about pleasing my readers, and since at this point in time I think ms. evan constitutes about 33.3% of my existing audience, I'm back for the second time today. First off, yes Jason is a MORON, but at least he admitted that there was a kiss. How ridiculous is Jessica to deny that the kiss ever even happened?

Second order of business -- clearly we all love Summer more than Marissa, and Ashton has proven our point.

And finally -- thank goodness for the OC being back! Cohen and Summer's complicated little scheme seemed to have gone smoother than any lunch plans I've ever tried to make. And seriously, do I need to go to rehab in order to find someone who will buy me a multi-million dollar condo on the beach?

In other non-OC related news, Josh Duhamel was on Regis & Kelly this morning and HOLY CRIPES that guy is F-ING HOT. I mean seriously, holy mother of all things sacred in this world, how do you not love this face?!?!

Fight the Slide 2005

i'm a week late, but i just wanted to state that last week's LB was just fab. I don't really have words to describe just how fab it was, but between Alex and Talan's "music performances" (who wants to place best on how long it takes before some idiot music producers tries to offer them a record deal?) and the most completely dysfunctional love triangle known as Jessica-Jason-LC to ever exist, I just can't really put into sentences how much I enjoyed last week's episode. I could only have dreamed up that kind of drama for myself in high school. LC threw a complete fit, well justified i might add, and my GOD, she's not in high school anymore and doesn't need this kind of drama. ooohhh the drama.

damned red coffee bean

This week's episode of Amazing Race is why I don't like the familiy edition. NOboby wants to see the little girl cry because she came in last place!! Damn near broke my heart, I tell ya. Linz Family all the way. They are hot, hot, hot! (in more ways than one).

In other news, Punk'd is back! Mischa Barton getting punk'd was only semi-entertaining, but I'll tell you what I CAN NOT wait for. They showed some clips of upcoming episodes, and Kristen from Laguna is going to get punk'd!! Just goes to show what has become of the kids on this show. They're totally Hollywood now. Talan's chillin with Ryan Cabrera, Kristen's well known enough to be punk'd by Ashton... the innocence is gone. GONE! (was it ever there to begin with?)

i'm trying...

I am so very way behind on my tv watching. Attempting to have a life and spending a weekend out of town consuming lots of beer will do that to you I suppose. The last thing I've watched is LAST week's Amazing Race, where the families finally get to leave the country. I'm still rooting solely for the ever so hot Linz Family and will be outraged if they don't win.

I haven't watched it yet but I hear Trump fired FOUR people last week. Not one, or two, or even three, but FOUR!! I love it.

And apparently there is a Simple Life 4 in the process of being filmed, even though they can't find a network that wants to air it. Yeah, that's love right there. Maybe that should be a hint that the show SUCKS. Why do people waste their energy on crap like that when they could be doing things like bringing back The Mole? Seriously people, let's get our priorities straight.
