The Hills Is Back
The Hills Season 4 Trailer was just released and I'm excited. America's #1 guilty PLEASURE is back. Speidi is fighting, and Heidi is desperately trying to get back with Audrina after a broken relationship and ever more broken singing career, I mean broken record. Brody and Lauren are done. Back to having more of The Hills haters complain about the show being fake, yet watching it week after week and discussing it with us! Yay!

18-1, except the 1 that Counts
Absolutely unfathomable. Arguably the biggest upset in sports history! Bigger than Michigan-Appalachian State. So big is this upset, that no one will ever want to go undefeated again in life! They won't want to cheat either.Up until about the 4th quarter of Super Bowl XLII, we were all debating if the Patriots were the best football team ever. Well, looks like they weren't even the best team this SEASON.
An absolutely embarrassing loss at the hands of the underdog Giants, makes an almost perfect season for the Pats go down the drain.
At least some history was made today...but to everyone's dismay it was made by the Giants, not the Brady-led Pats. Maybe Gisele should not have came to the game. I can't wait to hear from Brian Arrogant Billicheat.
Congrats Giants!

Best Quote Ever
"The one person who loves Adnan Ghalib is Kevin Federline. Adnan makes him look like Atticus Finch". ~Vh1 Best Week Ever
Only they can evoke such a literary icon in a tumultuous Hollywood situation like this.

The Junior Varsity Womanizer
Brody Jenner was appropriately named the "JV womanizer" by the New York Times. A fitting name for one who just told People magazine that girlfriend Cora Skinner (pictured) had met his parentals recently. He also said she would not be on The Hills, because it would cause drama with LC. Duh! Even though I love LC, we all would like to see that!Maybe this is the girl Lauren hears all the way in Paris that Brody has made his girlfriend the day after Lauren leaves LA. Nah, Brody probably went through 3 girls by that time.
But, nevermind LC, over the weekend Brody was seen canoodling with none other then the Razzie nominee for worst film ever for I know who Killed Me, Lindsay Lohan. Wonder what his "girlfriend" thinks about this?
Downgrade!?

Gimme Gimme More... Money

Adnan Ghalib. We all seen it coming. Now the inevitable is happening. After spilling his guts for Entertainment Tonight and the Insider, Britney Spear's paparazzo boyfriend, is reportedly trying to get $2 million for 6 clips he filmed of the pop star. In one scene she is reportedly struggling to dress herself properly.
In interviews with entertainment shows that aired last week, he admitted that he had a sexual relationship with Brit, that she's a great person, and that she's not focused on her relationship with mom Lynn Spears because her only focus is the custody case. [No...really!?]
Ghalib claims he did not receive money for the interview. What kind of person would openly talk about someone they supposedly care about in this capacity? One who sees the green. Money talks. Welcome K-Fed part deuce.

Ding ding ding! Obama wins with a TKO
You want issues? This may not be for you. Ladies and gentlemen we have a good ole' backyard brawl. For those of you who are complaining, these people have to win so they are pulling out all the stops so they can hopefully get to the issues later. Besides, Americans love the dirt, so it's ironic everyone's complaining about it.But it's Official! Obama is victorious in South Carolina. In his victory speech, Obama said today's win showed the cynics that Iowa was not a fluke, as he's making waves in this year's election.
Garnering a healthy dose of the African American vote, white American, as well as all age groups Obama seems to be running a successful campaign. Maybe this isn't a racial or gendered race after all like we all thought it'd be.
The world, led by the media, is blaming Clinton's defeat (in which she came in a distant 2nd) on former president Bill Clinton. I realize he may have said some unsettling things, but hey it's his prerogative. He's the former president and a great orator. Everyone wants to hear what he has to say. And besides, who wouldn't campaign for their significant other? Particularly when they were not always faithful to them.
Let him talk. He's earned it. And let Oprah talk. And anyone else. Hopefully everyone will still use their brain to think for themselves.
P.S. Regardless of who you plan to vote for, doesn't Obama just seem like someone you could be cool with?
Before Heath's Death, What went through Mary Kate's mind

Check out this flow chart of Mary Kate's inner most thoughts when she received the phone call that the guy she's dating is unresponsive.
Mary Kate thought process
Who is he?
First Puff Daddy, Puff, Puffy, P. Diddy, Diddy, now whoever this man is wants to be called "Sean John" in connection with his clothing line.Now, we've seen this with Prince. But Prince can do this. In fact I commend him for being innovative and deciding to just go by a symbol. Or the Artist Formerly Known As.
What Diddy is doing is just annoying. Different variations of God knows what. It's getting hard to remember what he started as. I think I will just refer to him as Sean Combs, if that's his real name.
And the reason he's giving for changing his name agian...well I'm just not buying it. To be associated with his clothes. That's like Cristobal Balenciaga saying don't ever call me Cristobal again...only refer to me as the name you see on the tags inside the clothes.
Kudos to him for keeping his name in the news, despite the fact that his reality show made bands are always forgotten about.

Obama leading the way in South Carolina

After his entertaining performance at the South Carolina debate, the polls seem to show that Obama's standup is paying off. Clinton is not far behind, while Edwards...well, he is. Nonetheless, the former John Kerry running mate insists that he is not pulling out of the race, regardless.
This, despite the fact the Democratic primary is becoming a shouting match and popularity contest between Obama and Clinton. Edwards received few questions at the debate, therefore had little to no speaking time.
On the Republican side, Romney is leading the way, with both McCain and Huckabee far behind.
Don't like the results? Call everyone you know in South Carolina and tell them to get to the polls. Joke...because who actually knows anyone in South Carolina?
A [LONG] Moment of Truth
"A Moment of Truth", Fox's attempt at a new-American-Idol-like- ratings-grabber ,debuted Wednesday night to a large audience.The much anticipated show had an intriguing appeal. It puts contestants on the spot in front of their loved ones...and the entire world. They're put on the hot seat and forced to answer questions that they previously answered during a lie detector test.
The plus: you can win up to $10,000 by simply answering easy questions, at which point Mark Whalberg will then dare you to answer the relationship destroying questions for a chance to win $500,000. The MINUS: if you answer a question incorrectly, you are leaving the show moneyless, friendless, and spouseless.
Did I forget to mention dignityless because the whole world is watching and secretly hoping you're not a total douche, but they still want to see you win the money, make the show good, and see your wife cringe helplessly?
I must say I was disappointed with the show and couldn't make it to the end. After all, do we really need to wait 4 minutes to hear if the contestant's answer is "true" or "false". Even the "Deal or No Deal" cases are opened faster than that!
Could you risk it all and face Marky Mark?
Still Don't Know Who to Vote For??

Heath Ledger Dead at 28

It's another shocking tragedy. Another talented member of Young Hollywood taken too soon. And one who seemingly had his head on straight and life together.
Heath Ledger, father and talented actor, was found dead in an apartment with prescription pills strewn around his bed.
The Brokeback Mountain star, and Academy Award nominee was recently quoted saying, "I feel good about dying because I feel alive through her", referring to his young daughter, TMZ reports.
The Brady Bundchen

First Tom Brady wears a boot on his foot giving the appearance that it's broken. The next thing we know, he's photographed here bootLESS. One thing however does remains constant- supermodel Gisele Bundchen on his arm.
Brady better be happy he's arguably playing better than any NFL quarterback ever has. No matter what he does, no matter who he does it with, no one can say anything because he's close to perfection on the field. Otherwise we could be witnessing another Romo-Simpson catastrophe.
One thing is for sure, however. Tom Brady is not fooling me like he may be fooling the rest of you. He knows what he's doing. Walking through Manhattan in broad daylight with a supermodel and a boot on his foot 2 weeks before the Super Bowl. ESPN reports that Brady has been on the injury report with a "sore shoulder" for the last 3 seasons. In that case, other NFL quarterbacks should be lining up to receive this injury. In other words, this "injury", if we can call it that, probably won't be a factor.
Within 2 weeks Brady will magically be healed. The Patriots will win. Give them the Lombardi so we can look forward to next season when other teams will hopefully stand a chance against them.

Love It
Two things that Robyn "Rhianna" Fenty is known for: her love of adding extra syllables to the word "umbrella" and her adoration of the paler members of the opposite sex.
Ever since she first voiced her opinion that white boys were the next hot thing, she's held true to her word, bouncing from rumored relationship to relationship. Apparently next up is...Josh Hartnett?
Rhi-Rhi, seriously. Take a page from Halle's book: if you're gonna go white boy, at least make sure it's a fly one.

A League of Their Own
Mr. GQ makes everything look smooth, easy, and good- both on and off the field...
Tom Brady threw as many turnovers in Sunday's game as he has thrown all season. The Pats were outplayed in three quarters. This game marked the first time they did not score first, and that they trailed at the half. The Colts managed to do what no other NFL team can even begin to dream of doing- they made Tom Brady look human...and the Patriots still WON. This my friends means that if the Patriots won this game with all these cards stacked against them, not to mention they played in the leave-and-go-deaf dome in Indianapolis, no other team will beat them this season.
More importantly, watching this game, which ESPN reports received the highest ratings in more than a decade, made us all ask the question "What is wrong with every other NFL team?" Watching this game was markedly different than watching any other. When the teams make it to the red-zone, you typically don't have to bite your nails wondering if they'll ever make it ten yards to get seven. These teams are head and shoulders above the rest.
Although Pittsburgh looked very good on Monday night, they were playing Baltimore who is struggling mightily for lack of anything that resembles an offense. Any other team is going to have to recruit a divine power itself to compete with the Colts, let alone the Patriots. Should they receive Lombardi now?

American As Apple Pie
The odd thing to me, as an unflinching Jay-Z fan, is how much of a household name Jigga has become. I distinctly remember listening to Reasonable Doubt, or even Hard Knock Life, Vol. II, and being inspired by his revolutionary spirit. Jay has always been the epitome of counterculture - everything had to be his way, and even though audiences didn't automatically understand where he was coming from (cough Blueprint 2.0 cough), he never failed to deliver messages that - ten years plus after his debut - not only resonate sonically with an impeccable flow, but emotionally as well.Perhaps this is why his latest album, titled American Gangster, appears to be the most apt of all. Jay's no dummy, and as his last album Kingdom Come showed, he's fully aware that he's no longer in the same place that he was when he wrote D'evils. Shawn Carter, boyfriend to a global, superstar diva and President of the illustrious Def Jam Records, has officially become a household name. Soccer moms, CEO's, the English-speaking and the non are all familiar with the rap game of Hov. These days, it doesn't get more American than Mr. Carter himself, but true to his nature, he still wants to keep it gangster.
Auf To A New Season

If you looked up guilty pleasures in the dictionary four years ago, you would've seen a picture of Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn, Project Runway at first seemed to be a bad knockoff of all the other competition reality shows popping up on every channel, but quickly developed into an emmy award winning program with a cult following.
For the die-hard Project Runway fans, it's been too long since Nina Garcia and Michael Kors last ripped a wanna-be designer a new one, or since Mr. Gunn has uttered his signature phrase, and come Nov. 14th, the fashion drought will have come to an end.
If you simply can't wait another minute without an "auf Wiedersehen," check out the new designers at bravotv.com.
Wildin' Out

Detroit may not have much, but it's had the bragging right that is the Red Wings and Hockeytown for over a decade. Between the Lions acting too cowardly to earn any NFL respect, and the Tigers raising hopes only to let them fall, all Detroit needed was a team of unproductive bears to round out the oft-dismal pro-sports scene. But no, the shining light for Motown came in the form of a little purple octopus rocking a red and white jersey, giving Michiganders a little something to be proud of.
Sadly, that reign has come to an end as well: St. Paul Minnesota has been named the new hockeytown. Devoted Minnesota Wild fans sell out the arena each and every week, and have for the past six seasons, displaying an enthusiasm that hasn't been seen for the Red Wings since the late nineties.
Don't dismiss that red and white just yet though - if it's one thing Detroit has always been good at it's coming up from behind. Watch your back next year, Minnesota.
