Life Imitates Art

Once again life imitates art - David Duchovny has entered rehab for sex addiction. As we know Duchovny plays novelist slash sex addict in Californication - he really gets into character!

90210: Shannen and Jennie Dish!

EW posted an awesome interview with Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty today. A highlight:

DOHERTY: ''All I know is there's a girl giving a guy a b--- job in the first episode.''
GARTH: ''When they told me that, I thought, Aaron Spelling is rolling over in his grave right now.''

Survivor: Gabon Cast Revealed

Yes! Although I'm annoyed that the premiere has been pushed back a week to Sept 25, I'm totally excited for Survivor's return to Africa and debut in HD. I hope it's more of a "China" than a "Fiji."

Dalton Ross' regular preview of the season can be read here, and there's also a handy gallery to get to know everyone here.

I generally don't get caught up in bios and favs at this point - it all melts together. I need to watch a couple of eps before I come back and revisit this stuff.

Finally! New AI Judge

Kara DioGuardi has joined the panel as a permanent 4th judge on American Idol. Her duties commence when auditions start tomorrow, and thank god they're doing something to change up that judging panel - the contestants could really use some, you know, actual feedback.

It has that power over me, too.

Viva La China

I love stories like this - an Argentine dog rescued an abandoned baby and kept her safe with her own puppies. Awwwwww!

Hardline Journalism

Thank god we have CNN to keep us apprised of breaking headlines such as this.

Like Sands Through the Hourglass

I don't watch anymore, but I used to be obsessed with Days of Our Lives. I always wanted to be a Horton, or at least one of those Hortons-by-proxy like Jack Devereaux. Alice's Family Tree is from a couple of years ago but I just rediscovered it- browse photos through the years and even score the recipe for Alice Horton's famous doughnuts.

Maybe one day I'll have my own ornament on that Christmas tree.

Oh, go yearbook yourself!

Totally rad. Yearbook Yourself lets you see yourself in fashions and hairdos of the past few decades - I can totally see this becoming the next big Facebook profile pic fad a la Hairmixer or Simpsonize Me.

Um...maybe just lip-synch

This video is awesome. Britney's mic is isolated, the backing track removed.

Slideshow - Big Brother Endurance HOH Comp

Jungle themed; houseguests sat in "the rain" on a narrow swing and were bashed into a padded wall. Good times!

I can't wait!

I'm ass-uming the show will mostly focus on the kids, but I wonder what triumphs and tragedies will befall Kelly Taylor this time around? Wikipedia advises that on the original series she endured a difficult home life, being date-raped, using diet pills, being tricked into joining a cult, being caught in a fire, and temporarily becoming addicted to cocaine. In addition, she survived being shot, getting amnesia, shooting her rapist, going to rehab, being stalked and almost killed by a patient from rehab, becoming unexpectantly pregnant and having a miscarriage, and learning that she might not be able to have children because of a condition in her body. Not to mention all the love triangles.

I must admit I tuned out of the original 90210 long before it ended it's run, but for some reason I'm totally amped for this remake. I can only hope that some of the original magical cheesiness is recaptured, although that's going to be tough without David Silver and Steve Sanders.

TMZ eats crow

Wow, it's not very often TMZ will retract a post and apologize. I'm kinda glad then did, though. (Even if I do see the resemblance. Shhhh. It's true.)

Sweet Sixteen

This whole situation is so sketchy! Many of the Chinese gymnasts looked extremely young, and the stories of a coverup certainly are intriquing. Now some guy is saying he has proof that He Kexin is only 14. All I know is that she has mad skillz on the uneven bars.

Kurt

from Sunday's installment of PostSecret



I work with a guy who look exactly like Kurt Vonnegut. It's eery.

2008 Fall Movie Preview

EW's annual fall movie coverage is the best, as always. How excited am I to see Burn After Reading? Very.

Do Not Burn!

This totally also happened where I used to work! The note left on our microwave was a lot nicer though.

Don't forget the milk

Grocerylists.org is something I could browse for hours. I find random abandoned grocery lists so fascinating. OK mostly I like to make fun of the dumb things people write. Like the list below, for example. Was it really necessary?



Obviously whoever made that list never had this valuable lesson under their belt:

Rock Me Sexy Jesus

Ok, I officially can't wait to see Hamlet 2 based solely on the song in this trailer. It reminds me of Waiting for Guffman, an all time favorite.

Indeed, what are they thinking?

Another great PCJM find; WTF is up with these creepy sexual trayliners from BK??

"No Dog's"

Ha! From the Blog of Unnecessary Quotation Marks - this one includes a bonus unnecessary apostrophe.

In other news, 'unnecessary' proves to be the hardest word ever for me to type.

Boom De Yada

I love this promo spot for the Discovery Channel....it recently won the MSNBC Test Pattern annual commercial contest. I love arach-a-nids...ha!
