Someone needs to tell Nick Cannon he's not a 16 year old boy anymore, and since he is now Mr.MC he needs to step up his game fashion wise..

bingo
So this I was watching "Greys Anatomy" a couple of weeks ago when Addison made her grand return. Anyways there's a quote that she said towards the end of the episode that stuck a core with me. "I needed to come back to know it was ok to leave" soo sooo apporiate for my life at the moment. With me moving to the west coast and maybe not fully embracing things, I came back East for 2 months to see where my heart truly is. And being back here made me realize moving out west was probably the smartest thing I did. And by coming back even for just a short while made me realize it was ok to leave.
Thanks Greys.
Thanks Greys.

bleak and bleaker
Why oh why is Jude Law making out with Kimberly Stewart??? I so just threw up in my mouth looking at that pic. Jude, dude if you need a make out partner Im here, wait maybe Ill take that back you have been with Lindsay Lohan and Kim Stewart. Yikes. Never mind I take it back.
And tonight its down to DAVID vs. DAVID on American Idol. My only question is who gives a shit? If I have to hear one more lie about this "being the best season yet, Im going to throw up. Damn that's a lot of throwing up. Gross bleak people and shows are to cause me to have to be bleaklimic.
best wrap up ever!!
Richard over at GAWKER did a great job as always with his "Gossip Girl" wrap out. I dont see any reason to write one myself when the man did a good enough job for the both of us recounting last nights season finale..
"Gossip Girl: Chuck and Blair Steal the Show"
Well, that's that, eh? Gossip Girl's dizzying, dismaying, frustrating, and fabulous first season came to a breezy, sun-soaked end last night. I thought it was pretty good. Sure the last ten or so minutes may have been a bit overstuffed with plot developments, but that was kind of refreshing for a show that can be a bit slack, plus it was the finale. They're allowed to set up cliffhangers and new possibilities for next season. As we look down the barrel of a summer TV landscape populated by American Gladiators and Last Comic Standing, let's take a look at where our fakest New York friends ended up, and where they might be headed.
Serena and Dan are no longer, thank the gods. Their relationship had become stuffy and boring before Serena's Georgina-related freakout, and it was time for them to, in true teen-soap tradition, turn to other friends in their immediate circle. Imagine the incestuous knot they'll have woven by the time the show reaches season four (God willing)! Dan ended it because, well, it was just all too much for even the wisest of seventeen year old boys. Serena cried in her enormous yellow vacuum bag dress and probably so did a few thirteen year olds. But don't worry, things are looking cozy and peasanty with Brooklyn buddies Dan and Vanessa again, and Serena and the newly (and somewhat stiltedly) Vanessa-free Nate have made plans to be "alone together" during the summer. Oh, exciting. Though, Dan and Vanessa are a bit cutesy and cloying. They actually might be the worst-written characters on the show. (Nate is just under-written.) Ah well. See you around Brooklyn, friends.
Lesser characters like Georgina and Rufus and Jenny all ended up on journeys of their own. The wicked Georgie was sent, in a grand set-up by Blair and (gasp!) Dan, off to reformatory school by her glaring parents (and an ominous looking valet of some sort.) Rufus tried to stop Lily from marrying Bart, but in the end she went ahead and entered into the icy, loveless, money-drenched union. Rufus went on tour with his silly band, and young (cue Grams from Dawson's Creek) Jennifffeerrr ended up with a Pratt Institute Parsons fashion design internship...with Blair's mom. Oops! So, some dangling threads there and whatnot. I don't imagine Lily and Bart will last all that long, and I doubt it's the last we'll see of Georgina Sparks. Though, hopefully she'll have "gotten some work done" and they'll cast Willa "Kaitlin Cooper" Holland as a replacement for ol' Trachtenberg. That would be satisfying. And Jenny? Well who knows/really cares. Maybe they'll Grace her up with a Will, in Erik van der Woodsen form. By the way, where the hell is that kid? He's been mostly missing since he stumbled out of the closet. A mystery for next season, I suppose.
Obviously, I've saved the best for last. Dear, sweet, shin-kicking, scarf-during-sex-wearing Blair and Chuck. I will admit to being a bit yucked out by Chuck being so nice, mostly because it was a change that seemed to happen inorganically fast. One minute he's scheming and fucking around, the next he's a concerned and (reasonably) pious best friend and lovelorn Romeo. But I can forgive it, mostly because Ed Westwick sells it well. Blair, happily, has remained a consistent, though evolving, Blair. The shin kick, the collar grab, the door slam. All wonderful bits of physical acting by the immensely likable Leighton Meester. The big question at the end for these two was, of course, if their whirlwind, Europe-going romance would hit the skids sooner or later. It looks as though sooner won out.
After an "I'm proud of you son" speech from Papa Bass, Chuck got a little panicked about this new, vanilla boy he was supposed to become. So, deus ex machina and all, who should enter but an alarmingly skinny assistant or decorator or something played (barely) by none other than Lydia Hearst. Chuck got his smirk back and it was off a' courtin'. Meanwhile on a helipad somewhere, Blair waited for Chuck and met cute with a young swain from the Bass company (who, it should be noted, was played by Zack Conroy, a young actor who played Pip/Theo in a production of Three Days of Rain that I stage managed back at old Boston College. Hello Zack!) Eventually getting a no-show from Chuck, Blair decided what the hell, and hopped aboard with the briefcase boy, off for a ten hour (really?) flight to Italy. Is this the end of Chuck and Blair? In the words of a famous Massachusetts furniture commercial: I doubt it.
So that's where we are. Everyone's off to places either new and far-flung (physically and emotionally) or comforting and familiar (ditto.) My favorite thing about the very end of the episode was how it managed to capture that giddy sense of possibility and excitement that only the beginning of summer can bring. "What will happen?" "I could just disappear!" All those exciting feelings. Thankfully, this show doesn't appear to be going anywhere for longer than a summer. I've been a bit hard on it at times, but I truly enjoy this series, and look forward to a hopefully savvier and smarter second season. Enjoy your summers everyone! (Except, you know, I'll still be here.)

first the WB now this....
The CW network, home to teen drama Gossip Girl, may be closed next year thanks to you, a Web-surfing pop culture consumer, possibly between the ages of 18 and 34. If you actually sat and watched network television at the appointed time instead of flitting around the mediascape like a monkey, streaming things here and TiVOing things there, maybe the network could actually get some Nielsen ratings for its shows. Instead, ratings are down 28 percent among 18 to 34 year olds so far this year. Other networks' ratings are down in the wake of the writers' strike, but apparently things are worse at CW, because according to the Wall Street Journal, "the network's hopes of surviving are looking increasingly bleak," and at least one of the CW's owners, CBS and Time Warner, may abandon the network next year if ratings don't improve. And it's hard to see how they will:
The CW's fall schedule, unveiled this week, suggests the network has few fresh ideas. It is debuting only three new shows, all designed to complement Gossip Girl, which executives hope will find a larger audience come fall. The new offerings are: 90210, an updated version of the 1990s hit prime-time soap about rich kids in California, Beverly Hills, 90210; Surviving the Filthy Rich, a drama about rich kids in Palm Beach; and the reality show Stylista.
Nothing is said about what happens to Gossip Girl if CW closes, but it's hard to imagine neither CBS nor Time Warner could find space for the series on some other network. If need be, alternative strategic plans could perhaps be generated at another Gossip Girl summit.

Super sexy New York Rangers left wing Sean Avery landed a gig to intern for Vogue magazine this summer, once the Rangers were finally eliminated from the playoffs. When I read that on Gawker my first thoughts were that has to be a joke, but true to form its isnt.. Here's more....
"When we first heard that Rangers left wing Sean Avery was going to intern for Vogue magazine this summer, once the Rangers were finally eliminated from the playoffs, we assumed it was a joke, or some stunt meant to get Avery a seat next to that weird lady with the crazy glasses at Roger Federer matches. But nope: Apparently Avery's really working there.
He started his internship on Monday, and he's already digging in.
Observers say he's involved in all sections of the magazine, including features and accessories, and attends edit meetings. And while Avery pulled down $2 million last year with the Rangers, he's earning minimum wage for his time at Vogue, a magazine spokesman confirmed, denying speculation Avery was being paid $5,000 for his summer job."
You know, we're not sure why those are different: A minimum wage job for the summer is probably gonna be around $5,000, if not a little more. But nevermind that. We hope this means the inevitable bitchfights around the typical fashion magazine office now involve an actual dropping of the gloves. We want the next Vogue cover model to be toothless, and sporting a mullet.
(interesting very interesting...)

thank you sir
John Edwards dropped out of the race after Iowa back in January, a couple of months ago both Senator Clinton and Obama met with Edwards seeking his endorsement. Finally news came yesterday, that he has in fact chosen to endorse Obama. The orginally title of this blog was going to be "what a coward" then I realized. John Edwards did Hillary a favor. If he had come out after he dropped out and openly emdorsed Barack then, the race would have been over. As much as I dont like Edwards back in the beginning of the year he did carry some clout. Now he looks like he's bangwagon jumping actually he looks like he's trying to stay on the Clinton's good side. So maybe he's not soo dumb after all.

did u watch gossip girl? gawker did
"I Killed Someone! But, Um, Not Really."
by Richard
So, sigh. I could focus on how dismayingly anticlimactic last night's Gossip Girl was. I mean, we had the whizbang cliff-hanger about murder from last week's episode. The show was on the up! Things were happening! And then, like the rushing downturn ("wunnnh") of music that came as Serena uttered her immortal line, we (or at least I) saw all that energy deflate last night. It was... just a drug overdose. Everyone knows about it now and Serena was totes not to blame. Plus mama Lily managed to, um, get in touch with the family of the dead guy on the same night that Serena told her and cart her over to their house to apologize. How exactly did that conversation go? "Hi there, I have the girl who left your son to die here with me. Yeah, she's my daughter. We're in the car, can we swing by? Great. See you in ten." That just felt terribly rushed and silly. OK. So. That's that. That was the bad (well, some of it). But in the spirit of absolutely everyone's forgiving natures last night, I'll instead point out some positives, after the jump.
First, Blair and Chuck are just fantastic. Yes, the camaraderie is getting weensy bit 90210 in its "oh look, everyone's now friends!" kinda way. But this isn't necessarily a bad thing, it just seems a bit antithetical to the show's intended tone. All that considered, Blair and Chuck continue to have playful nasty streaks, best witnessed in the "Let's get the bitch" scene toward the end. I hope they continue this little (platonic-ish) courtship. Chuck could be the Valmont to Blair's Merteuil, and we'll get to reap the bitchy benefits.
Also, I must note, despite her being an Old, I can't help but find Kelly Rutherford increasingly delightful. It might simply be that her frequent acting partner, Matthew "Rufus the Laughable Rock Star" Settle, is just so ridiculous and frustrating by comparison, but there's something interesting there. I like the subtle undercurrent of melancholy and rebellion in her, seen even when she's not making googly eyes at ol' humble Humphrey. This might just be, you know, good acting, but maybe it's not! Maybe we'll get a mother-like-daughter Lily-goes-wild arc next season. (I mean, given the show's track record, it will only last for two episodes, but still.) So, good on you Kelly. You've almost made me care about the parents!
Also hugely positive about last night was that Serena and Dan, America's Most Boringest Couple, came ever closer to ending once and for all. Wicked Georgina! (Even wickeder, "haha I fooled you Richard, I still suck" Michelle Trachtenberg!) I don't exactly see how her stealing Dan tops revealing a secret death conspiracy, but, uh, sure. I'll take it. Georgina/Sarah might be boning Dan right now and hopefully Serena will discover it and take up with Dorota or something. Fingers crossed.
And another good thing was... Oh, fuck it. I can't keep up this miserable charade. The episode was really bad and disappointing. Hopefully next week's inevitable misfire won't be a complete let down. If it is, I'll have a hard time getting excited for the show's September 1st return. Even though they'll be in the Hamptons!
Oh, and, poor Lisa Loeb.
