Big Brother 11’s Garden Boy Jeff
2009-08-23 06:06:00 Oh my God! Jeff and Jordan are my favorites this season on Big Brother . They remind me a lot of Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson (hmm maybe Newlyweds: Jeff and Jordan is a show in their future?) Anyway, I became overcome and all a flutter and a twitter when Jeff as “garden boy” was revealed. I’m a gardener myself, but don’t look nearly as good in swim trunks and watering can as he does. Jeff can come over and tend my garden as soon as he gets out of the Big Brother house while I lounge by the pool sipping a cool drink and taking in the “hot” scenery! More About: Garden
Idol Without Paula?
2009-08-05 18:38:00 Say it isn’t so? American Idol without Paula Abdul? I can’t imagine it. What is Fox thinking? They went to great lengths to keep Simon and Ryan, but what about Paula? Or is it her new manager that caused the breakup? No mater what, Paula will be sorely missed on the show. In fact I may have to rethink committing so much time to watching American Idol when the primary reason I watched was because of the interaction between Simon and Paula (and yeah because of cutie Seacrest too).
Dante’s Cove Returns!
2009-04-08 17:20:00 Here! TV and Regent Media have issued an official press release concerning Dante ’s Cove, dispelling rumors that the show has been cancelled or abandoned by the network. They have announced that production on 10 new episodes for season four is to begin! We have the full release posted over at our sister site,The Dante Beacon. This is the best news I’ve heard in a long time. This highly addictive, overly dramatic, slightly campy show following the supernatural lives of gorgeous people on a gorgeous island has found a spot in the hearts of many, including mine. Will Toby and Adam finally be freed from the Shadows’ mirror?
Brody, Ryan and Straightness
2009-01-10 06:25:00 Bromance. Really? Okay, this new MTV show should be called Dunderhead because that is what all of those guys are. Well, the gay dude aside as he had the sense to flee when he caught sight of what was to be. If this is typical straight guy behavior, then I’m ever so thankful Dorothy is my friend. What nonesense. Don’t get me wrong, Brody is hot (although I prefer hairy-chested Brody) and one or two of the guys aren’t too bad on the eyes either, but what is the point of this show? Is Brody, who seems to have everything going for him, really that hard up to find a true friend? Well I suppose if what we have been seeing is any indication of what he and his friends will get up to. One also wonders why on earth Ryan Seacrest would attach his name to this project. Between Bromance and Mama’s Boys, both shows of which are executive produced by Seacrest, me thinks he is trying to make a statement about his “straightness.” I suppose that one can’t que...
A Christmas Vacation, Err… Present
2008-12-29 19:09:00 Okay, so everybody is making a big fuss over Daniel Craig on vacation (with Andy Cohen), but I don’t get what the fuss over Craig is all about. The real hottie to be talking about is Andy Cohen. The Bravo exec is one hot man! I’ve been waiting forever for a shirtless picture of him and so now Christmas has come again. For those of you who have been swooning over Daniel and saying Andy is fat, I say take a look again. Andy is a fine specimen of a man, while Craig is not as pumped as he once was. He’d better hit the gym to firm his pecs and abs before he heads off to do another Bond film. So since Santa left nothing of monumental proportion under my Christmas tree this year (unlike last year’s TiVo Series 3), I will settle for some shirtless photos of Andy having fun on the beach. Better yet, when I make my Christmas list up for next year I will wish for Andy himself to be wrapped up in a nice shiny red bow under my tree on Christmas morning.

David Tennant Resigns as Gallifrean Timelord
2008-11-04 16:42:00 This month the British sci-fi series Doctor Who celebrates its 45th anniversary. It’s bittersweet as news comes that David Tennant has decided to leave the show. The Doctor, the intrepid time traveler from Gallifrey has been played by 10 actors over the last four-and-a-half decades, but none have come to the role with as much gusto, charisma and sex appeal as David Tennant. When I first heard he was going to be playing The Doctor, I was not too happy. I had seen him in ‘Casanova’ and thought he was a horrible choice for the role. However, only a few episodes into his reign as the Timelord and I quickly changed my mind. In fact I have become so enamored with Tennant and his interpretation that he has become my favorite Doctor, usurping old favorites Tom Baker, Jon Pertwee and William Hartnell. While his version of The Doctor pays certain homage to those who have played the role before, something unique that is David’s alone is his sex appeal. There is a defi...
Mystery Man
2008-10-29 20:18:00 I stumbled on this photo while browsing some blogs the other day and I am in love. Could there be a more perfect man? If there is, I have not met him! I have no idea who he is but am dying to know. So I put it to you… can you identify this mystery man who has fallen out of the sky and stolen my heart? I’m hearing Celine Dion singing right now… “I’m waiting here for my prince to come…” More About: Mystery
The Face of 40
2008-10-14 18:22:00 Okay, well now in exactly one month I will be 40. I have been ignoring it. I have been dreading it. Make it go away. Freeze time. Freeze me. As much as I was looking forward to 30, I am not looking forward to 40. Will I be one of those assholes who perpetually calls themselves 39 after they hit 40? My friends tell me that 40 is the new 30 and that life doesn’t begin until 40. I know I don’t feel 40 or look like it according to some people who are shocked I was THAT old, thinking I was mid 30s – YEAH! With hot to trot John Barrowman and Hugh Jackman, who just turned 40, as examples of what the face (and body) of 40 looks like, bring it! Woof! More About: Face
Flipping Freaks
2008-08-27 04:41:00 Jeff Lewis. What can I say? I don’t know whether to love the man, worship him or be scared shitless of him. It’s so bizaare that we share so many common traits. I watch Flipping Out with my mother and I can’t say how many times Jeff does or says something that makes her glance in my direction with that look that says, “you know that is exactly what you do!” Oh shit. Am I really that neurotic? Compulsive? Obsessive? Well, I suppose I can be (and can be a bitchy queen about things too) and is probably why I love the show and find him so utterly fascinating. I suppose it didn’t dawn on me until this season and the incident with the white curtains. They weren’t the precise shade of white he wanted or envisioned and he just obsessed over them even while doing other things and talking to other people. It just totally consumed him. How like me. When just the slightest thing is out of place or case in point, the neighbor’s pool filter hums a... More About: Freaks
Best Man Wins American Idol 2008
2008-05-22 05:49:00 Congratulations, David Cook! You da man! In my book there wasn’t even a competition. This dude sang his ass and quickly emerged as the best performer out of the lot. However, this season of Idol did have some of the best talent. And some of the worst as well. Cook’s voice and energy can memorize and ... More About: American Idol , Celebrities , American , Wins

Am I Hot?
2008-03-01 22:49:00 So my straight neighbor who looks a lot like Greg Vaughn of ABC’s “General Hospital,” though hairier and not as beefy, showed up in a dream again that planted an open-air bar ala H2O from “Dante’s Cove” next to my property. One of my trees was hovering over the bar and the bar owner ...

2007-11-05 07:29:00 After having seen the first two episodes of season three of ‘Dante ’s Cove,’ I can see the show maturing and reaching that “zone” type of place that most shows do by their third season. It is still a hit. While it is still great and I can’t wait until I can see the rest ...
