Family Guy to Reach 150 Episodes

Here's my piece on this Sunday's momentous Family Guy episode, found on TheTwoCents.com.

Lea Michele Named One of Time's 100 Most Influential

Here is a story I did on Lea Michele being placed on Time's Annual List, which you can find at The TwoCents.com.

Update

In case anyone has been wondering (all two of you), I haven't been posting as frequently. Well, the reason behind that is I have been volunteering to write T.V. related news for TheTwocents.com. It's been a great experience, and I hope to continue for a while. However, I will be posting new stuff here, as well as link to any news that I am writing for them as well.

Dancing with the Stars Sixth Elimination

I knew it was his week to go, but it was still pretty sad to see Jake Pavelka say goodbye on Dancing with the Stars. For me, this one was kind of a nailbiter, especially with Niecy and Louie as the other half of the bottom two. I didn't for once believe Evan and Anna were in any real jeopardy. Even with one bad dance,  I think they have built enough of a fan base to pull them through. But I guess it heightens the suspense. I'm just glad Pamela and Damien got an extra week. I'm looking forward to seeing the kind of Samba they come up with though. But this is Jake's moment, and I've decided to pay tribute by showing my favorite dance of his. I'm sure you can guess which one : )

What do you think? Should Jake have gone home? Or was it Niecy's time?

Kate Gosselin's Children Allowed to Appear on TLC's Specials

She may have lost Dancing with the Stars, but she's still winning out. TVGuide reports that Gosselin's children have been cleared to appear on a series of specials on TLC, titled Kate Plus 8. This comes after state regulators ruled that labor permits should have been obtained for Gosselin's previous show, Jon & Kate Plus 8. No legal action was taken, however the producers agreed to apply for permits for any future tapings and specials. What do you think? Should the kids be back on T.V.? Or should they try to live a normal life from now on?

True Blood: Bill is Missing Video

Following up with the clever Missing Poster, True Blood has now increased the search for Bill with a new video. Man, waiting really does suck.


True Blood Waiting Sucks: Sookie

 Sookie is now featured in the "Waiting Sucks" Promos for True Blood, and she's got a gun. But who's that taking the bullet? Comment away.

Blast from the Past

The news about Bret Michaels really affected me, especially since I am not afraid to admit I was a big Poison fan back in the day. In fact, one of my fondest memories is performing "Nothing but a Good Time" for one of my talent shows. Because I don't have a copy of that one (nor will I ever), I've decided to post the original, which I'm sure you would enjoy more. Get well soon Brett! My thoughts are with you.


Brett Michaels in Critical Condition

Former Poison lead singer and Rock of Love star Bret Michaels is in critical condition following a massive brain hemorrhage, reports Usmagazine.com. Michaels is currently in Intensive Care and will receive additional testing to determine what caused the massive bleeding in the brain. No further information can be given until more tests have been completed, confirms Michaels’ rep This is the second time this month the Celebrity Apprentice star has faced a medical emergency. On April 12, Michaels canceled several appearances due to severe stomach pains, which led to an emergency appendectomy.

Glee's Like a Prayer

For those of you like me whose DVR cut-off, and you didn't get a chance to catch the encore that aired on Friday, here's your chance to see the performance of "Like a Prayer." Enjoy!

The New Adventures of Old Christine and the Prius, pt. 2

Not to beat a dead horse, but I found this article that I thought this was a bit interesting: Toyota, behind the wheel

Basically it says the reason why the Prius is so prominently featured on the show, among others, is because producers want them there.Take a look and tell me what you think.

True Blood's Missing Poster

The fifth in the series of collectible posters from True Blood is a clever play on the Missing Persons Milk Carton ads. If you remember, Bill was abducted in the season finale, which will take Sookie on a journey to find him. I guess based on the bottle, she is not taking any chances. This is by far my favorite, and hope the rest are this creative.

The New Adventures of Old Christine and the Prius

What do a CBS sitcom that I enjoy and Toyota have in common? They combined their efforts to make the worst product placement this side of Heroes (anyone remember the Nissan Versa and Rogue fitting prominently into the plot?) Okay, I realize it's going to happen, and even my favorite shows, which this one is, won't escape it. But it makes my heart sink to see a big Toyota-thon banner in the background, especially knowing that it is a real event. But you know what, I might have let that slip. However, once the salesman went on about the new features in the Prius, I knew I just couldn't take anymore. Thank goodness for the scenes with Julia Louis-Dreyfuss and Eric McCormack, or else the entire episode would have been lost. If only Wanda Sykes was there. I probably wouldn't have even noticed.

It's not that I am against advertising. I do understand it's purpose, but sometimes it can be overkill. Take going to the movies. Not only do we have to sit through previews (which I actually do enjoy) but for the past few years commercials have taken up valuable time as well.

If you think about it, I guess advertisers feel they no longer have a choice, especially after the invention of the DVR. People can basically skip commercials now, which are a big part of advertising. Although I understand, I don't necessarily agree. People watch T.V. to relax, and that can't happen if the good storytelling takes a back seat to sales. So please, networks and advertisers, listen to your viewers. Cut back on the lame product placements and focus more on putting out a quality product. In these tough times, it's the least you can do.

American Idol Mini-Recap

Tim Urban has been sent home. Nuff said.

Dancing with the Stars 5th Elimination

Before we get to the elimination, I thought I would start with my encore dance choice, and I'm glad the judges agreed: Jake and Chelsea's Cha Cha to Risky Business


  Wow, for the first time fan favorite (Tom's words, not mine) Kate Gosselin is in the bottom two. Chad and Cheryl, Pamela and Damien, as well Jake and Chelsea (I guess dancing without pants didn't work. With a body like that, color me shocked) were put in jeopardy. Thankfully, Jake and Chelsea were safe along with Chad and Cheryl, which put Pamela and Damien in the bottom two with Kate and Tony. So who did America send home? Surprise of surprises, Kate and Tony are leaving the dance floor. Putting my feelings of her aside, this was actually a very touching send off. Because of that, I think I will actually keep my snarky comments to myself for once. Well, until she shows up somewhere else. Then all bets are off.

VH1 Getting Back to Basics

The God's must have heard our prayers: VH1's new lineup has more music, less reality. Favorites such as VH1 Divas and Behind the Music will make a return, as well as Storytellers. Though I must admit the cheesiness of guilty pleasures Tool Academy and Charm School reeled me in, I really am glad to see them going back to their roots.Too many reality shows have popped up recently, and even if some have some great entertainment value (Project Runway, Amazing Race, Survivor), the majority, especially those on MTV and VH1, have done nothing but serve as spring board for people trying to get famous without actually working for it (although, pretending you are into flavor flav might be harder than it looks). That said, I certainly hope MTV also follows this trend. However, given that they dropped the "Music" from their logo, I doubt that will happen anytime soon. Does anyone know if MTV2 still exists, or has that gone the way or reality as well?

Dancing with the Stars Recap, 3/19/2010

It's movie night tonight. Hopefully that brings out the joy in some of the stars. 


Niecy and Louie- La Bamba-Jive

The dancing seems a little slow for a jive, but she is shaking it with all she’s got. I’ve her energy and spirit. Plus it doesn’t hurt to live your lips on Len’s forehead. Len says she put her personality into it. Bruno felt it lacked the necessary sharpness, but awww, Louie took the blame. That’s sweet. Carrie-Ann called her the shimmy queen.

Score: 18 (booooo goes the crowd. I’m with them)

Chad and Cheryl- The Jungle Book – Quickstep

The song makes me wonder if the Jungle Book will be coming out of the Disney vault. Chad seems more relaxed to me, as if he is having more fun. Bruno says it was a bit too wild and his frame was terrible. Carrie-Ann said he was uneven and lacked body contact. Len said he thought his posture was better than his Foxtrot, but commented on his hold.

Score: 18

Erin and Maks – Pulp Fiction-Jive

She’s got that Uma look down, I just wish they had given her a black wig. I think ths is a definite step up from her tango. She looks calmer, and that makes for a fun dance. Carrie-Ann liked it, but said she was a little ahead of the beat. Len hated the beginning, but liked it once it kicked into high gear. Bruno mumbled something I didn’t understand, but said it was her best timing yet. On a side note, romance will not be in the air until Erin sees a ring like the one Chad got Cheryl. Hmmmmm…..

Score: 22


Jake and Chelsea-Risky Business- Cha Cha

Jaws just dropped across America: Jake in tightie whities. Man, the fun is just infectious tonight. Some parts were good, some parts seemed like he was walking. But I’m still thinking of that beginning. Len says he gave it his all, and loved his feeling, but noticed his mistake. Bruno wonders why he put his pants back on, and complimented his energy, but mentions that mistake as well. Carrie-Ann loved it (surprise surprise)

Score: 23 (I wonder if his thighs had anything to do with it)


Pamela and Damien- 9 to 5- Quickstep

I’m loving the Dolly Parton look. This one starts slow for me (Len will probably hate it), but really picks up. Bruno compliments her characterization and says she did a great job with the dance. Carrie-Ann loved the dance, and thinks Pam belongs on Broadway. Len, hated the beginning (surprise) but liked the bits of dancing.

Score: 21


Kate and Tony – The Breakfast Club- Foxtrot

I see some stuff, but she’s still so stiff and anxious it’s hard to see any improvement. Carrie-Ann sees itty bitty bits of grace forming, but compares her to the Charlie Brown teacher. Len thought it was clean, but it was more of a stroll. Bruno thought she took a step back.

Score: 15

Nicole and Derek – Pretty Woman – Tango

I think it’s safe to say Nicole is back. It was fun, energetic, and from my inexperienced eye, looked pretty spot on. Standing ovation well deserved. Len thought it was her best dance, and the best dance of the season . Bruno said a lot of words, but I think I heard perfection somewhere. Carrie-Ann calls her a superstar, and says it was beautiful.

Score: 29 (Damn you Len, with your 9)

Evan and Anna –Armageddon- Rumba

His height affects some of the movement for me, but you can clearly see how skating helps some of his moves. Bruno thinks it’s superb. Carrie-Ann thinks there was beauty in the movement. Len felt it had artistry and musicality and felt he did a great job.

Score: 27

True Blood's Be True Poster

The fourth in a series of posters for True Blood fans depicts some of the forms our favorite shifter Sam has taken these past two seasons (my favorite is being the literal fly on the wall.) This is by far my favorite, only because I wish I could do the same thing. Maybe one day. *Sigh*

My DVR Moment of the Week, 3/18/2010

So many to choose from, but hands down, the moment goes to the return of Glee and the amazing Jane Lynch. Her performance of "Vogue" may not have had much to do with the plot (more connected to this week's "Power of Madonna" episode), but that didn't make it any less fun.




Runner-Up:
The return of the "Evil Will Wheaton" on The Big Bang Theory. His manipulations caused Penny to break up with Leonard, leading the boys to lose a bet with Stuart and appear in Superheroine drag at the Comic Book Store. When I saw the picture of Raj as Catwoman, I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. His empowered line was one of the best in the entire episode.



Second Runner-up: Drunk Stefan on the Vampire Diaries. Too bad it didn't cure the urge to feed. And an memo to the producers: You've just got David Anders. Don't you dare mess it up like Heroes did.

Missed Moment:
I'm still behind on Project Runway. The finale is this week, so I better catch up fast.

Blast from the Past: Pac-Man

For those who weren't sure how big the video game phenomenon known as Pac-Man was, look no further than this 80's cartoon based on the hungry little fellow. This was another Hanna-Barbera variation on the family unit (such as the Flintstones and the Jetsons), but with a Pac-Man twist, having Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, and even baby Pac-man taking the place of Fred, Wilma, and Pebbles. Fun fact, this aired back to back with former blast from the past entry Rubik, the Amazing cube. Take a look at the intro and enjoy.

American Idol Elimination Mini-Recap

I haven't been too into this season of Idol, but since Adam Lambert was performing, I thought I would give it a chance again. However, once the opening lip sync began, I hit the fast forward until that awesome green laser cone surrounded Lambert, who totally rocked a re-worked version of Whaddaya Want from Me for an enthusiastic audience. As far as the two that went home, Michael Lynch was spared another week (good job America), which left Katie Stevens and Andrew Garcia the ones to go home. Tim Urban must have made some deal with a higher power. What do you think? Did the right ones go home?

Dancing with the Stars Elimination 4/13/2010

Well, Kate Gosselin has been given a pass for another week. Like I've said before (not sure if here, but I might have) I'm not a fan, but she did show some improvement over her past dances. Aiden, who was sent home, took a few steps back. He was handsome and charming, however his movements were very stiff. Couple that with a smaller fan base than Kate's (although I would have thought his would have grown over the course of the show. With his face and smile, how could it not have not)and well, you know the rest. I'm sure Kate can still improve, but will it really be enough to stay? Do you think she should have gone home instead of Aiden? Also, did anyone notice they used not one, but TWO Idol contestant songs: Adam Lambert's For Your Entertainment and Kris Allen's Live Like Your Dying? Hmmm, is that a shot at beating them in the ratings? Or a coincidence? Comment away!


Glee's Sue Sylvester's Vogue

Did you miss Sue's awesome rendition of "Vogue" on tonights episode of Glee, well here's your chance to view it. And if you did catch it, you can enjoy it one more time. I'm so glad it's back. I can't wait for more. I'm such a Gleek.


My Dancing with the Stars Twitter Recap

I decided to Tweet the entire time I watched, so I thought I would share them as a recap. Unfortunately it is in reverse order, so you'll have to start at the bottom. Let me know what you think. Some thoughts that weren't on Twitter: The band really butchered Adam Lambert's For Your Entertainment. Hmmm, I guess that was the only one.

tvguy956: Pamela Anderson also had her best dance. Sexy and beautiful. It was magic. 47 out of 60.

tvguy956: Len told Pamela to keep it out of the bedroom. With that outfit, I'm sure that's all anyone can picture.
Tuesday, April 13, 2010 12:32 AM

tvguy956: That's some ring on Cheryl's finger. Chad has some taste.

tvguy956: Chad just did his best dance so far as well. Long way to go as well, but he's also headed the right way.

tvguy956: Kate got a 32 out of 60. Higher than expected.

tvguy956: What I mean is she was actually MOVING. Good job. Now work on the technique. Long way to go, but a step in the right direction.

tvguy956: I will hand it to Kate this once, I think she fought hard this week.

tvguy956: OMG, did Tony just bring Jon into it????

tvguy956: Again, the judging was wrong!!!! Len is so grumpy.

tvguy956: Nicole may be considered a "ringer," but she is so elegant to watch.

tvguy956: I have never disagreed with the judges more than now. I thought Niecy did a beautiful job.

tvguy956: I just love Neicy Nash.

tvguy956: No one spoil it for me please!!!

tvguy956: Watching DWTS, Evan got 52 out of 60 for an awesome performance.

True Blood: Who's that with Jason Stackhouse?

In this latest installment of the waiting sucks series, we see our favorite studly "man-whore" Jason Stackhouse sharing a late night smooch (and I'm sure more) with another young lady. Who is she? I'm not sure, but I'm sure a whole bunch of people wish it were them instead.


Conan O'Brien finds a home on TBS

It's official, Coco has found on a new home. Conan O'Brien's yet to be titled new late night talk show is set to debut on TBS in November after the World Series in the 11/10c time slot. He will be followed by George Lopez's Lopez Tonight. O'Brien entered negotiations after being personally asked by Lopez to join the TBS late-night line-up, according to the article I read on TVGuide. Until then, O'Brien is going on a national tour and can still be found on Twitter. This is a very happy end to a long, tiresome debacle, and I'm glad to see everything worked out.

My DVR Moment of the Week

Well, I never said my top moments were always going to be what was the best on T.V. Case in point: Kate Gosselin's odd (and not in a good way) performance on this weeks Dancing With the Stars. The song choice (Lady Gaga's Paparazzi)  was pure inspiration, since it's a subject Kate faces on a daily basis, however she was just unable to channel that emotion into anything worth watching. She did get another week, so maybe she'll finally get her act together. But I honestly doubt it.




Runner up: Never one to pass up an opportunity, Jimmy Fallon Parodies Kate's dance.



Missed Moment:
Tina Fey brings back her Sarah Palin impersonation on SNL. I could kick myself for missing this.

Jimmy Fallon's Paparazzi Interpretation

Man, they should have had Jimmy Fallon on this seasons Dancing With the Stars! Watch as he parodies  Kate Gosselin's Paparazzi dance. The only problem: He is still using too much emotion and movement, even with his stiff interpretation. Have a look. If you can't view it, click here.


Designing Women Star Dixie Carter Passes Away

Dixie Carter, better known as Julia Sugarbaker from TV's Designing Women has passed away. She was70 years old.

Her publicist confirms that she died Saturday morning, but would not disclose the cause. Carter was also known for her Broadway performances, and often featured her beautiful signing voice on Designing Women. She is survived by her husband of 25 years, Hal Hallbrook.

Carter's character Julia was known for her very passionate, "terminator" style speeches, and none were more intense than "The Nights went out in Georgia" speech given in defense of her sister, Suzanne. If you've never seen Dixie Carter in action, then this would be the scene to start. R.I.P. Dixie, you will be missed.

Update on Dixie Carter.


True Blood: Eric Video

I can't believe I missed this one:


True Blood Get Your Fill


Here's the third in the True Blood poster series. This one reminds with me of the Cup of Joe, with blood being in a water cooler instead of a coffee pot. I don't know, they are starting to grow on me. What do you think?

American Idol: Big Mike gets saved

In a shocking turn of events last night, Michael "Big Mike" Lynche ended up in the bottom three, and was ultimately the one contestant revealed to have the lowest number of votes. However, thanks to the controversial judges save, Lynche was able to perform "This Woman's Work" (arguably his best performance to date) and wowed them enough to remain in the competition. What do you think? Should Big Mike have been saved? Or should he have gone home?

Tuesday, April 6, 2010

Dancing with the Stars Second Elimination, 4/6/2010

I'm not as shocked as last week, since one of the bottom two made sense, but my jaw still slightly fell. The reason: Kate was still safe, and Jake made the bottom two. At least Pamela Anderson didn't fall to the bottom like last week. Buzz being there made sense. He had joy, but absolutely no technique. Kate, on the other hand, had absolutely no joy or technique. But that is the way America voted, and in the end, it was Buzz and Ashely to go home. Although I agree with this, I still would have picked Kate over him just for the fact that I didn't feel so awkward after watching Buzz dance the way I did with Kate. In fact, I sometimes smiled. Not because he did well, but it looked like he was having fun. So what do you think? Did the right person go home?





Adam Lambert to perform and mentor on Idol

Wow, what a difference a year makes. As previously posted, Adam Lambert was scheduled to perform on American Idol, however Lambert has confirmed via his Twitter page that he will also serve as a mentor to the remaining top eight next week. He also promises he will be on his best, family friendly behavior (damn,where's the fun in that.)

I know what you are thinking: How can someone who hasn't been around that long possibly serve as a mentor. I think in this case it makes sense. Lambert has had a very interesting year, and after his AMA performance, can probably give tips on what not to do. I think he'll do a fine job. What do you all think?

True Blood: Who's Attacking Tara

As part of the waiting sucks campaign, True Blood creators released this new video of Tara in danger. Man, these little teasers are making it hard to get through the next few months.


Dancing with the Stars Mini-Recap

The Stars and Pros were asked to create a story through dance without the stuff that makes Len angry. Did anyone succeed? Let's find out.

Evan and Ana - Quickstep
I enjoy watching Evan dance, and he didn't disappoint. I do agree with Len. He does wonderful work, but needs to work on polishing up a bit.
Score: 26

Buzz and Ashley- Waltz
Buzz has oodles of personality, and there was something very elegant about this dance. I enjoyed it, but not for the technical aspects, which unfortunately are not there.
Score: 13

Jake and Chelsie- Quickstep

I love the song, Walk Like an Egyptian, and it somehow worked for the quickstep. I was a little bored, but I loved the prop use.
Score: 21

Neicy and Louis- Waltz
I love watching her dance, and this was no exception. Except for a minor stumble, she was elegant, and managed to tell the story without a large prop.
Score: 21

Chad and Cheryl- Paso Doble
He had fire, but still needs to work on his moves. It was a an improvement though. Hopefully Cheryl can work her magic.
Score: 20


Pamela and Damien- Paso Doble
How she ended up in the bottom two last week is beyond me. And if she ends up there again with this dance, then something is definitely wrong. She had fire, passion, and technique. Not a bad combination.
Score: 21


Aiden and Edyta- Quickstep
He has improved, but is still a bit stiff out there. He is moving in the right direction though.
Score: 20


Erin and Maks- Waltz
She did a blindfolded waltz (though some of my friends thought they saw two holes in the eyes) and really put her trust in Maks. I thought it was well done, and think she is really moving up as a contender.
Score: 23


Kate and Tony - Paso Doble
It was a great song choice, but the emotion just wasn't there. I would have assumed singing about the Paparazzi would have ignited something, but maybe her nerves are still getting to her. Like Carrie Ann, I was a little weirded out watching it.
Score: 15


Nicole and Derek- Quickstep
It was bouncy, fun, and wonderful to watch. Too bad it wasn't a quickstep. Derek, what were you thinking?
Score:23

My DVR Moment of the Week

There are so many reasons to love The Vampire Diaries, but they have just given me one more: Kelly Hu as Pearl. Here I thought Bonnie's Grams was the only person that could bring Damon to his knees "I've got 400 years on you, little boy," she sneers right before gouging his eyes with her fingers. She's right, she does have more power, but so did Lexie, and we all know what happened to her(if you don't, I suggest you check out the "169 Candles" episode.) Mystic Falls might be getting a little full at this point, but if they keep bringing on the uber-vamps like Miss Pearl, I don't think I will mind too much.

Runner-up: Anthony's return on Project Runway. Although it meant losing Maya (who surprisingly quit) his entrance brought back a ray of sun that I was worried we would never see again. Not only did he get to come back, he won the challenge. If you are gonna come back, come back big, and no one came back bigger than Anthony.

Missed Moment: I always try to see the Ten Commandments as an Easter tradition, but unfortunately some last minute errands kept me away. Oh well, that's what DVD's are for.

Big Bang Theory Gang in Superheroine Drag

Ever wondered what the Big Bang gang would look like in female superhero drag? Well look no further. Click here. All I can say is they couldn't have picked a more perfect Catwoman. They give Halle Berry a run for her money if there is every a sequel (of course I am kidding about the sequel. No one wants that.)

Happy Easter

HAPPY EASTER!  TAKING A BREAK FOR TODAY. SEE YA'ALL SOON

Blast From the Past: Galaxy High

Now, I'm going to admit something that might come as quite a shock to some people: I was a big nerd in school. I'm proud of it now, but back then I was ashamed. That's why underdog stories involving nerds always kept a small place in my heart, and Galaxy High was no exception. For those that remember this 80's cartoon, the plot centered around Amy and Doyle, two Earth students chosen to attend an outer space school named Galaxy High. Amy was your typical unnoticed bookworm, while Doyle was the school stud. However, once they arrived, their lives switched. Amy became a the sweetheart of the school, while Doyle had a hard time making friends. I don't think it lasted very long, however it's one that a lot of people seem to fondly remember, even if they weren't nerds like me. Check out the intro below, or if you can't see it, click here.

Fun fact: One of the writers has become a famous director, whose credits include one of the most beloved film series of all time. Wanna know who, click here.

Project Runway Recap: Hello Anthony!

Last time we said good-bye to Anthony, but this week brought a nice surprise. On with the recap.

Seth Aaron remarks that things are definitely quieter without Anthony, and you know what, it really does look that way.  They seem too calm in the men's apartment. Where's the singing and loud, third person references? On the womens side, Maya is stressing, and feels that although she has done well, there is still so much for someone her age to learn. I think that takes great strength to recognize something like that. Not everyone is a wonder kid like Christian Soriano, however I do feel Maya did show great potential.

On the runway, Heidi announces that the designers will be working a red carpet look for a very difficult celebrity, which turned out to be none other than Heidi! That would just rack my nerves, and unfortunately for Maya, the pressure became too much. After a long talk with Tim, and the camera showing her empty space while the others were sketching away, Maya became the first designer in project runway history to  quit the show. All the designers are stunned, as is the audience (well, at least the one in my house.) This means that someone needs to be brought back in order to even the playing field. Guess who?????? Lets just say the third person references are back in full force. Time wise, all the designers are stressing, and Jonathon even redid his dress three times.

At the runway, the designers are treated to a celebrity judge: Jessica Alba. I''m not a fan of her acting, but fashion wise, this girl is usually flawless. Everyone seems happy with their work (save Jonathon, but that was to be expected. Anthony and Emilio end up in the top two, while Mila, Seth Aaron, Jay and Jonathon are left at the bottom, with Jay and Jonathon deemed the worst. In a surprise twist, we get not one, but two winners in Emilio and Anthony, and Jonathon gets auf'd.

My thoughts: I'm so happy Anthony came back. He brings a certain amount of levity that cuts through the bitchy, making the drama bearable. I also wasn't a fan of the mermaid dress Emilio created, but I'm not the one who was going to wear it, Heidi is, so it really doesn't matter what I think. What do you think? Did the right person go home? Were you sad to see Maya go? Were you happy to have Anthony back?

Charlie Sheen off of Two and a Half Men????

Straight from People: Charlie Sheen Leaving Two and a Half Men

According to the article, sources say Sheen's contract is up this season, and he has decided not to renew. The reason: he is just done. Men is the current top-rated sitcom, and it is still unclear if the show will continue without him. CBS has yet to make a statement, claiming that they do not comment on contract issues. However, a source close to the show stated that negotiations are still going on, and nothing has been decided yet. This is yet another challenge in a very rocky year for both Sheen and Men, which includes production being halted earlier this year due to Sheen's stint in rehab after his alleged domestic violence charge.

If this is true, I really don't think the show can go on without him. Not that I don't believe in Jon Cryer's talent, but the whole point of the show is the dynamic between the two. Take away one brother, and you really don't have much left. However, if Sheen needs the time to get his act together, then maybe that is for the best. I just feel for all those behind the scenes that will be affected if the show gets canceled. Hopefully they will all be able to find something else if the show does cease.

True Blood's Anna Paquin: "I'm Bisexual"

Anna Paquin, True Blood's Sookie for all you fangbangers, is featured in a PSA in which she declares she is bi-sexual and "Gives a damn." She is joined by such celebrities as Elton John, Whoopi Goldberg, and Cyndi Lauper in a campaign for Lauper's True Colors Foundation, which helps to promote equality. Whether or not it's true, it's nice to see her participating, since I am sure a big chunk of True Blood's audience is from the GLBT community. Take a look at the spot for yourself.

My Top VILF's of All Time

Always one to jump on a bandwagon, I decided to make a list of top VILF's from film and television. Warning, the list contains both Females AND Males, so the squeamish should stop reading right now. Just thought I would let you know.

6. Drake (Dominic Purcell)- Blade:Trinity

Okay, so in his true vampire form, he isn't that hot. But in human form....well that's a different story.

5. Selene (Kate Beckinsale)- Underworld, Underworld:Evolutions

Dressed in black leather and armed from head to toe, Selene produces a sexiness that is both sensitive and exciting.


4. Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder)- The Vampire Diaries

It's the smile in this bad boy vamp that brings him to VILF status: both sweet and sinister, it's a hard look to resist.

3. Queen Akasha (Aaliyah)-Queen of the Damned

There may be something about bad boy Vamps,  but no one can deny that bad girl vamps are equally sexy and very, very dangerous.

2. Eric Northam(Alexander Skarsgard)- True Blood

It's one thing to be a bad boy vamp. It's another to be one with a heart, which Eric shows in brief glimpses every now and then.


1. Angel (David Boreanez) -Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel

The ultimate brooding Vampire (Sorry Stefan and Edward, but he hit the screen first), our favorite Vampire with a soul managed to be sensitive without coming across as wimpy.

So what do you think? Do you agree or disagree? Who did I leave out?

True Blood's VILF Poster



Well, they finally put it up on HBO.com. I'm actually starting to like it, but I still prefer the Cup of Joe poster. What do you think? Also, just for fun, which Vamp is your VILF?
