The second episode of the FOX comedy, New Girl, was really funny. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Jess is on a quest to get her stuff back from her magically-coiffed ex, and it doesn't go quite as planned. By the end of the episode, you'll be cheering for her.
New character alert, too, by the way. Seems that Coach, played by Damon Wayans, Jr., has been written off the show so that he can continue on with the ABC show Happy Endings. Taking his place is Lamorne Morris, who may actually be a better fit for this show.
I am a big fan of this show and I hope it does well. Plus the theme song is stuck in my head all the time. That's not a bad thing. Have you heard it? Heeey giiirl, what ya doin'?

The Emancipation of Snooki
Well, what an eventful Jersey Shore we had this week!
I won't go over all the gory details, but I will give my opinions on what happened - and not in any particular order.
First, let's talk about Deena's pregnancy scare. I really wish the producers would have some kind of calendar or something on the show so we can see how far into the season certain things happen. This week's episode would have been perfect for this. I need to know how far into the trip Deena was when she thought she might be pregnant. A couple weeks? The first couple of days? It's not unheard of for the producers/editors to put certain events out of chronological order to make the episodes somewhat cohesive. So I'm wondering why we've seen Deena down gallons of alcohol and she's never once mentioned worrying about possibly being pregnant. And I don't think she's the type to keep this kind of information to herself for too long. I like the friendship between her and Jenni, by the way.
Speaking of Jenni, she gets the "Best Friend Ever" award. Jenni has changed so much. Don't get me wrong, I've always been a JWOWW fan. But now she seems very mature and nurturing as opposed to the girl in Miami that couldn't wait to punch Sammi in the face. (But seriously, how funny was that fight? Good times.) I totally understand why Jenni didn't want to necessarily wake up and spend time with Snooki after the night they all had. According to the After Show, they had been up till 7 am with all the drama. Not fun. So when Snooki decided she needed to get out of the house, Jenni just wasn't in the mood. I don't blame her. Snooki probably didn't remember all of the details - she was tipsy - and who knows if she remembered screaming in Jenni's face. I commend Jenni for apologizing for not being there for Snooks later, though. That was big of her and just shows how much their friendship means to both of them. True friends do have arguments sometimes, but they always find a way to get through it and move on, and it usually brings them even closer.
Do I have to talk about Mike? I guess so. In a word: creepy. Ok, another word: disgusting. Alright, I'll just vent here. Mike is a total douche for bringing up the whole alleged Snooki hookup again. Especially using the language he did. It was uncalled for and gross. Dude, grow up. Nobody cares. This guy is so desperate for attention, it's sad. In a way, I hope the next season is the last so he can finally fade into obscurity.
Now, for the main event. Miss Snooki herself. I said it last week, and I'll say it again. This is how you remain relevant on a reality show. Snooki freed herself from Jionni's grasp only after humiliating herself by begging him to stay and learning that his family already booked him a flight home. This guy seems nice and all, but he's got issues. First of all, he should have stayed and dealt with the problem himself, not called up mommy and daddy to rescue him. Secondly, he knew what he was getting into when he became exclusive with Nicole/Snooki. Third, and lastly, he should give respect to get respect - and storming off like a child throwing a tantrum is no way to earn someone's respect. Be a real man, and your girl will always respect you. BOOM! Now, back to Snooks. I think once the haze of Jionni was gone, she could see herself clearly for the first time, and she didn't like what she had become. Too often, young women depend on the man in their life to define them and assign them value - so when the man is angry at them or leaves them, they feel as if they have no value at all. Which is total bullshit. No matter what you think of Snooki, she's a person with feelings and she was devastated by what happened. Watching her cry made me sad. But when she finally snapped out of it and decided to let him go, I felt good for her. I don't doubt these two love each other, like I said last week, but they are just not compatible at this time (these particular episodes). A lot must have changed since Italy, because they look very happy now. Let's hope they've worked on their trust and control issues and have learned to love each other as they are. No one wants to be with someone who wants to change them. Love the person for exactly who they are and your relationship will only benefit from it. Unless you can't stand who they really are, and in that case, you need to break up immediately.
Next week is the aftermath of Snooki and Vinny's hookup, which I can't say surprised me at all. These two will always have a connection. Doesn't mean they should act on it. Oh well, live and learn!

Jump, Jive, and Wail
Week 2 of Dancing with the Stars is over and I have to say, I'm happy with the outcome. Before I talk about who went home, let's discuss some of the performances.
First, the nip slip, I mean Nancy Grace. I did feel bad for her. That was total nipple. You can't tell me that was a pasty. Come on. Anyway, her performance was actually pretty good and she looked like she was having fun. But the costume designers need to fit her properly next time for sure.
Kristin Cavallari did a great job. And I think those rumors of her and Mark Ballas being romantic might be true. He has a tendency to get chummy with his partners (Sabrina Bryan, anyone?).
I loved Ricki Lake's performance! It was so much fun! I really love seeing her smile and have a great time. And some of that choreography looked brutal. Awesome job, Ricki!
Chaz was struggling with some physical pain, and I felt for him. It must be extremely difficult to want to dance your heart out, but your body just can't take it. I hope he feels better and dances with less pain next week.
David Arquette is one to watch. I think when he focuses, he does a wonderful job. I can tell this competition means a lot to him, and I don't blame him for wanting to knock it out of the park.
J.R. Martinez is so inspiring. The guy has incredible energy and an unbreakable spirit. I love watching this guy dance. His attitude makes him even more endearing. I think he's going to make it to the top 5 easily.
Now, for the latest celeb to go home (SPOILER) ... I am actually very happy that Elisabetta went home. She seems like a nice enough person, but gurl had no rhythm and just looked awkward. She's definitely more suited for modeling and being famous for dating someone famous. Good luck to you!

I Feel Pretty
Gleeks! I loved this week's episode of Glee, probably because I used to watch "West Side Story" every day when I was little. No joke.
Quinn is still in bad girl mode and gets sucked into helping Sue with her campaign by confronting Will about how the arts failed her. Will delivers an amazing "GROW UP" speech and makes Quinn cry a little bit. But not enough to snap out of her funk.
Brittany approaches Kurt about running for class president and offers to help with the campaign. But after seeing the posters she's created for him, Kurt worries they're too in-your-face-gay. There are enough rainbows and unicorns on these things to make you vomit glitter. Brittany explains that Kurt is special and should embrace who he is - a particularly fabulous flamboyant gay man.
Rachel is startled by her biological mother Shelby, played by Idina Menzel, showing up at McKinley again. Turns out, Sugar - who failed miserably in her glee club audition - has a wealthy daddy who has demanded a second glee club be created to feature his baby girl. And he's hired Shelby to coach said glee club. Shelby assures Will that she won't steal any of his students, and Will amicably replies that he's ok with it since it means more of the arts in the school. Shelby and Rachel have a wonderful moment preparing for the West Side Story auditions, as per usual for the amazingly talented Idina and Lea Michele, remember "Poker Face"?
Speaking of the auditions, Will has delegated that role to Emma, Coach Bieste, and Artie. I think it's an inspired choice, and I like their judging styles. They're fair and honest, but not mean, at least not yet. Will is busy teaching "Booty Camp" with Mike Chang for those who aren't as dance-friendly in the performances. And if they're going to win Nationals this year, they all need to be at the top of their game, not only with their singing, but dancing as well.
Kurt auditions for the role of Tony, but sings a Barbra tune (don't worry, he asked Rachel's permission), "I'm the Greatest Star." It was an amazing performance, but unfortunately, didn't give the judges much insight as to how he would play the leading man role. Kurt overhears the judges expressing their doubts, so he recruits Rachel to help him audition again. This time, a dramatic audition of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet". Kurt's attempts at masculinity are met with laughter and he bolts out of the audition. At that very moment, Brittany is hanging up the pink/rainbow/glitter posters emblazoned with Kurt's face on them sporting a unicorn horn, and he's horrified.
To make matters worse for our friend Kurt, Blaine auditions for the play, too. He makes it clear he doesn't want the role of Tony, so that Kurt can have it. But after a jaw dropping performance of "Who Knows", the judges ask him to read for Tony anyway. Kurt sees it all from the balcony and walks away in despair. Kurt speaks to his amazing dad about not ever being the leading man due to his over the top personality, and his dad gives him the best advice ever. Create your own roles. Don't wait for someone to accept you and put you in their picture of whatever story they're telling. Paint your own picture.
Puck makes Quinn speak to Shelby, who adopted their baby. Shelby tells Quinn that she wants her in the baby's life, but only if she cleans up her act. Quinn can't handle the second reality check she's gotten this episode, and hatches a plan to pretend to change so that she can fight for custody of her baby. Things just got REAL, people!
Brittany talks to Santana about Kurt not loving her campaign ideas. Santana suggests Brittany run for president herself, since she's so passionate about it. So Brittany does just that. It's gonna be an interesting race!

Rumors, Gossip, and Crutches, Oh My!
We pick up right where we left off with the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills - Adrienne and Paul are still waiting for Kim to show up so they can attend the last Kings game in Sacramento. I can't say for sure what's wrong with Kim, but it looks like she made some kind of alcohol and painkiller smoothie and downed it before she finally dragged herself onto the Maloof/Nassif private plane. She talked the whole time, and although she was kind of funny, the whole scene was just sad. Kim needs to realize that people can see through her thin facade and get some real help. I hope she has made some progress with her sobriety.
Lisa got sort of beat down in this episode again. What's up with that? First Kim made fun of her fur skiing hat, which, let's be real, was fabulous, so whatever. Then, Taylor shows up at Kyle's house and proceeds to complain that details about her marriage and her weight ended up in a gossip magazine. She says only a few people (presumably her cast mates) knew these certain details. In her interview, Taylor hints - ok she flat out says - that she thinks Lisa is the rat. Um, really, Taylor? Here's a reality check. Everyone and their grandma knows about your marital problems because you're on a reality show. People you don't even know are now aware of your personal life, so don't be surprised that people are coming out of the woodwork to sell stories about you. And about your weight, honey, you're thin. Scary thin. Like skeletal status. Anyone with half a brain can see that. So, for you to jump to the conclusion that it had to be Lisa is preposterous. I'm sure that there are tons of people who would love to talk crap about you. Even if it was Lisa, which I really don't believe, she probably wasn't the only one. And then at the charity event, Taylor practically broke down when Lisa was showing genuine concern for Taylor's well-being. No good deed goes unpunished, I guess.
Now let's talk about Brandi. First - the interview shirt. It was like her boobs were a ventriloquist dummy. I couldn't look away. What was that thing? Suspenders? I don't even know. But here's what I do know: Brandi is giving Taylor a run for her money in every way imaginable. The hair, the reconstructed face, the blubber lips, and the attitude. I smell competition. And turns out Brandi is besties with Lisa's arch enemy Cedric. I'm not fooled by Brandi's whole "we used to model together" defense. If you're letting the paparazzi take photos of you together laughing and holding hands, y'all are friends. And I'm with Lisa on this one. Keep an eye on her! Plus you can smell the crazy a mile away.
It's not that I enjoyed the cattiness coming from Kyle and the other girls towards Brandi, because I didn't. It was juvenile and not cute. But I understood it. I mean, crutches, people, really? Crutches. Frankly, if I was at that party, I probably would have thrown some shade as well. Just being honest.

A Breath of Fresh Air
Watch What Happens Live rebounded nicely after the Stanger fiasco Sunday night with the help of perky twins Tia and Tamera Mowry, stars of the Style Network's "Tia and Tamera". These girls were bubbly, friendly, positive - basically the polar opposite of Patti Stanger. Andy Cohen looked relieved and happy to have some genuinely nice people on the show.
I unfortunately have never seen Tia and Tamera's show, but after seeing the clip and watching them interact with Andy, I'm going to make an effort to catch it! The girls were so cute and adorable. They actually laugh in perfect unison. You just can't get any cuter than that! And I loved that they disagreed on some Beverly Housewives issues. They're definitely not clones of each other. Each one has a great personality, and they're each absolutely their own person. I'm sure this is what is making their reality show such a hit. Jeez, where have I been?!
One of the highlights was Jackee Harry calling in. I love her! She played the girls' adoptive mother on the 90s sitcom "Sister Sister". That theme song brings back so many memories. Ah, 90s sitcoms were the best. Anywhoo, Jackee called in and reminisced briefly with the girls and it was hilarious. Tia and Tamera obviously have great respect for Jackee, and there was a lot of love there. It was great.
Speaking of Jackee, when is she going to be back on Watch What Happens Live in person?! Get on that, Andy!!
Oh, and kudos (or as Ramona would say, kadooz) to Andy for listening to us and making Patti Stanger the Jackhole of the Day. Ya hear that, Patti? Jackhole!
The After Show was just as fun as the tv broadcast. Check it out here.

A Million Insults
Well, Watch What Happens Live returned with its 5th season premiere last night and you know I have a lot to say about it.
Ms. Patti Stanger of the show Millionaire Matchmaker was the only guest for the one hour show. Oy. Don't get me wrong, I used to like Patti and her show. But something happened last season or maybe the one before it, where I could not take her insulting, abrasive personality anymore. She's rude, crass, and mean, and not in a good way. I usually like brassy, tell-it-like-it-is women. But on more than one occasion, I cringed through entire episodes of Millionaire Matchmaker. So, I stopped watching.
Apparently, many viewers agree with me about Patti as there were numerous tweets and trending topics begging Andy Cohen to cancel Ms. Stanger's appearance on his season premiere. Alas, he didn't listen to us. But I think he learned his lesson.
Patti was actually pretty well-behaved during the beginning of the show, but quickly reverted back to her less-than-charming self. First, she stated that all gays are in open relationships and none are truly monogamous. Andy tried to make the case that he is all for monogamy, but Patti wouldn't hear it. Andy was visibly perturbed by that. Then, Patti asserted that all Jewish men lie. Andy, again, attempted to argue that he, being Jewish, doesn't believe that statement to be true. Patti laughed it off. Andy did not look pleased, and even made comments about both statements throughout the show. Oh, and let's not forget her particularly vulgar language and not so funny jokes. Wow. Maybe the wine was getting to her?
To be fair, Patti did issue an apology for her remark about the gay community, but I haven't seen anything from her camp about her comment about Jewish men. You can read her apology here.
On the After Show (Part 1 and Part 2), Patti seemed to be pretty ripped. At one point she admits not being able to speak ... to which I screamed at the tv: "Give her another cocktail, Andy, please!" Long story short, Patti did what she does best: alienate people, insult people, and shill her products. I wouldn't trust Patti to find me a good pizza place, much less a soul mate/life partner/spouse, so she can suck it.

First, she stated that all gays are in open relationships and none are truly monogamous. Andy tried to make the case that he is all for monogamy, but Patti wouldn't hear it. Andy was visibly perturbed by that. Then, Patti asserted that all Jewish men lie. Andy, again, attempted to argue that he, being Jewish, doesn't believe that statement to be true. Patti laughed it off. Andy did not look pleased, and even made comments about both statements throughout the show. Oh, and let's not forget her particularly vulgar language and not so funny jokes. Wow. Maybe the wine was getting to her?
To be fair, Patti did issue an apology for her remark about the gay community, but I haven't seen anything from her camp about her comment about Jewish men. You can read her apology here.
On the After Show (Part 1 and Part 2), Patti seemed to be pretty ripped. At one point she admits not being able to speak ... to which I screamed at the tv: "Give her another cocktail, Andy, please!" Long story short, Patti did what she does best: alienate people, insult people, and shill her products. I wouldn't trust Patti to find me a good pizza place, much less a soul mate/life partner/spouse, so she can suck it.
