Excuses, Excuses

I've been slightly preoccupied with planning a baby shower and my annual birthday bash the past few weeks. Consequently I haven't had much time to pleasure you with a post. Please forgive me and also bear with me over the next few weeks. I promise everything will be back to normal soon enough. Meanwhile please take the time to participate in this last minute poll I assembled. It's all I had in me today.

THE SAME BUT DIFFERENT

*Possible Spoilers*

NYC Prep: If “Laguna Beach” was MTV’s reality version of “The O.C.” then “NYC Prep” is BRAVO’s answer to “Gossip Girl.” Unfortunately the boy that I think is assumed to be the equivalent of Chuck Bass is far from being as sexy but every bit the “Bass”tard. On the other hand, BRAVO was right on point with the casting of the girl that is probably suppose to be most like mouth-breathing horse-faced Serena, she’s as equally annoying. It’s just irritable enough to keep me tuning in. A girl has to have something to bitch about, right?


True Blood: Here are a few of my favorite quotes from the past two episodes.

“Oh don’t get it twisted honeycomb I’m a survivor first, a capitalist second, and a whole buncha other shit after that, but a hooker...dead last!”
-Lafayette Reynolds

“Ooh Sarah’s puddin' is a lil’ slice a heaven. Ya know my wife must think you're pretty special. Well Sarah doesn't whip out her puddin' for just anybody!”
-Steve Newlin

Real World: On the first episode CJ discloses that he is currently an NFL free agent. He described being a free agent as not being tied down to any one NFL team; instead he has his pick of the litter. Any sports fan will tell you that what it really means is that his sorry ass wasn’t skilled enough to be picked up during the two days of the damned draft!

Hung: I liked the first episode but I found it to be a little more dram-than it was-edy. If the show doesn’t continue to take itself so seriously it has the potential to be BIG. HUGE.

Real Housewives of NJ Reunion: Danielle is a triflin’ ho…yeah that pretty much sums it all up.

BREAKING NEWS...sorta 06.18.09

Its official Jon and Kate Gosselin are dunzo! According to Radar online.com the couple will be announcing their divorce on the next episode. See the teaser trailer below and weigh in on your thoughts in the comment section.

MAMA MIA

Real Housewives of New Jersey: It’s a Housewives finale so here we go again. The only question is where do we start? Teresa’s hypocrisy seems like a great jumping off point. The woman was very concerned with her children witnessing a verbal altercation but had no qualms about discussing her sex life in front of them. She discussed everything from oral sex to the punishment her vagina endures during the constant intercourse with her husband. She was so blunt she made Caroline’s adult son blush. Maybe she was merely protecting her kids from observing her own ridiculous tantrum, who knows?

With that said I don’t think there was anything more annoying than the sneer that seemed to adorn Danielle’s face the moment she strolled through the door. You had to wonder, what in the hell could this woman possibly be grinning about? I get the want to confront the people you heard were spreading rumors about you, but is it actual rumor if it’s true? When Caroline dropped the bomb that she was actually the gossiping culprit and not her sister the smirk was wiped clean off Danielle’s mug.

Kudos most definitely goes to Jacqueline and her husband Chris for speaking the truth and putting an end to all the nonsense. “Family or not, what’s right is right, what’s true is true.” When backed into a corner they are the type of people you want to have your back.

Weeds: This show is like the harlequin romance adaptation of drug dealing. In reality if a woman like Nancy Botwin were to betray and then chastise a man like Esteban Reyes disciplinary action would more likely involve being pistol whipped and ass-raped than it would taking it from behind and a firm slap on the booty.

True Blood: My roommate had a sweet surprise for me Sunday night. He brought home a special dessert, red velvet cake, to honor the premiere of our favorite bloody show. Unfortunately due to my previously mentioned affliction I had to wait till after the episode to scarf a slice down. Lucky for me this program happens to be filled with all sorts of eye candy. Although I had to wait till the end of the episode to see my personal favorite, Eric, whose bad tint job was apparently interrupted when he overheard Royce and Lafayette plotting their escape. Eric came stomping down a stairwell draped in a cutting cape with foils still in his hair. Not as sexy as we are generally used to but enough for me to get my fix. Maybe next week he’ll get those roots touched up a bit.

Jon & Kate Plus 8: How did the unveiling of Jon’s customized chopper turn into being all about Kate and her vandalized pink Vespa? If you want to see what really happened during the filming of this crossover episode you’ll need to watch the “American Chopper” version. Think of it as an hour and a half unedited edition of Jon & Kate.

Real World/Road Rules Challenge: Rachel became very upset with Aneesa when she alluded to the two of them living together. Rachel tried to clear the matter up by saying “We did not live together. I had an apartment and you moved in.” Well, that sounds like shacking up to me.

BREAKING NEWS...sorta 06.11.09

I hope that the following Housewives news will tide you over till I muster up enough viewing hours to work up a new post. It looks like infertility will no longer be a hot topic for the Jersey Housewives next season. According to Us Weekly Jacqueline was able to cure whatever it was that ailed her and gave birth to a baby boy today. Maybe I was in denial but I had a hard time buying that she was having such a hard time conceiving due to her age. On top of that splendid news, Teresa will also be adding to the Garden State’s population, she is currently expecting her fourth crumb snatcher.

And if that weren’t enough Housewives goodness, Korbi Ghosh over at zap2it.com reported that several “Real Housewives” would be taking Kathie Lee Gifford’s place next week during the last segment of the “Today” show. Go to Korbi TV to find out if your favorite housewife will be lending Hoda Kotb a hand.
