Let it Go:
Lauren Graham is making a return to the small screen in a comedy called Let it Go. It will air on Thursdays on ABC. I am not sure when it will start but I am assuming not until the summer or fall since ABC's Thursday night is packed right now with Grey's, Private Practice, and Ugly Betty. I know Gilmore Fans around the world will be excited to see Lauren make her return to our living rooms :)

The Island:
Loved it!!! Get it Evelyn… Ok so usually I really like Johnny and Paula – in the past they have been some of my favorites, well not this time around. I have to be honest I don’t love many people on this challenge, really only Derek. Anyways I have hated how Johnny just took over the Island and more so that he thinks he is so much better than everyone else… Sometimes I agree with what he is saying BUT rarely do I agree with how he goes about saying them. I loved how Evelyn totally played the alliance and told everyone what they were up to… Here is the break down:
I saw this picture of the Olsen twins and I had to post... look at those Olsen faces.... classic!
Another 90210 romance is brewing...this time between Jessica & Adam (Ty & Adrianna).Stars in High school:
It is amazing to me how when you flip through these pictures how normal people look, they totally could have been my friend. Don't get me wrong a lot of the girls especially were still cute/pretty but they still look NORMAL.... Cindy Crawford looks the prettiest to me.

90210: Were my expectations to high???
Ok so don't get me wrong I thought that it was a pretty good episode...a bit too long. I think that they made some parts super cheesy trying to reflect the original... Which I somewhat appreciate being the Beverly Hills: 90210 fan that I am. Things I liked that gave us flashbacks: The school news anchor being Hannah Zuckerman-Vasquez(Andrea's daughter) and then the teacher saying "what is she thirty?" That was kind of funny. Kelly & David's younger sister being one of the main characters(I think that was a wise decision)...I love Kelly so any role she has is great (although lets not bring up the love triangle again, Brenda said "Brandon wanted me to tell you, you're beautiful"....seriously it has been 8 eight years at least, I am sure he has moved on) and the original theme song gets me super excited. I think the show has potential...it probably won't push the envelope as much as Gossip Girl but should keep us entertained.
Now lets talk about the moment of the show all of the old 90210 fans were waiting for... The encounter between Brenda & Kelly lacked luster and fell short of any expectations I had....I will be interested to see if they address any old tension the girls had on the show.... Only time will tell.
What are your thoughts on last nights episode? Is 90210 going to save the CW like they had hoped??
Happy Watching
Favor to ask all of my wonderful readers!! I have a friend that is trying to get cast in a guest spot on Mad Men (the new show on AMC...it has won many awards)...Anyway to help her dreams come true go the the link below and vote for her! Thanks :)

Happy Watching
Ok I know some of you are going to be jumping through the screen..."BORING...the Olympics are on" well maybe I am unpatriotic(not the case), or just simply weird but I really don't enjoy or watch the Olympics...I can't believe I am admitting this but it is the truth. I have much respect for the Olympics and its competitors...and love what they stand for but I just don't particularly enjoy watching them. So for this week I am bored until next week when Making the Band 4 starts again and The Hills!!!
Lost stars Evangeline Lilly & Matthew Fox are getting a raise but the rest of the lost cast is staying put. Apparently Kate & Jack are more important characters than say: Sawyer, Syaid, Locke, and Ben. Lilly & Fox are looking to make about $150,000 per episode as where other losties are making $80,000 - $90,000 per episode. The other cast members have called to start renegotiating.....
Apparently Tori Spelling was only offered $10,000 -$20,000 per episode compared to Jeannie & Shannen (other 90210 alum) who were offered $30,000 - $35,000 per episode. Tori was very offended by this and says she has no plans to appear on the 90210 spin off.... I will say it is kind of tacky of the producers to do that, given the fact that she was an original cast member and HER FATHER CREATED the show...I say show a little respect and class!
Lauren Conrad is designing at least one gown for the Emmy's....one of the girls that hands out the Emmy's through out the evening will be in a Lauren Conrad original and there is chance that more than one presenter will be wearing her designs. Lauren says it is a huge compliment to be asked to design for them.
Danity Kane is BACK!!!! Ok so I was simply obsessed with the first 2 seasons of Making the Band 3....when they were creating this girl band I didn't miss an episode and now that they made the band I have followed the girls ever since....I am super excited that there is another season of Making the Band that is following Aubrey, Dawn, D-Woods, Shannon, and my personal favorite Aundrea as they tour the country. Oh and I guess I should mention that "Day 26" and Donnie will be in this season as well. Watch the preview below and GET excited!!!!
A friend of mine sent me the following:
Though she may give off a harsh impression, Denise Richards wants everyone to know how loving she really is. And she was spotted attending a charity event yesterday (August 10th) to prove it.
The “Wild Things” actress showed up at the Isabella Oliver and Clothes off Our Back Charity Afternoon at Palihouse Holloway in Los Angeles, California.
And though her intentions may have been good, it sounds like Miss Richards’ reality show “It’s Complicated” may be heading down the spiral of cancellation.
A source told press, “The numbers started out pretty good—just over 1.5 million tuned into the premiere episode. But the audience has dropped off. Denise has turned into an unappealing reality star. Viewers were disgusted that a mother of two young girls would use such foul language.”
Happy Watching
VS.
So the celebrity reality shows continue this time with Pam Anderson, of course I am sure I will watch this at least once, I am intrigued. This show will take the time slot of Denise Richards:It's Complicated which aired its last episode last night. Pam: Girl on the Loose will begin this Sunday at 9:00pm on E!Many of you know what I mean when I say "the Olsen face" I think this was first coined by Laura Jeff McFee. This has become a tradition among my friends to take pictures making the olsen face. For those of you who are in the dark let me fill you in.... Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seem to always make the same face when being photographed by the paparazzi... Laura sent me a text the other day that said classic Olsen face on the cover of Star Magazine and I wanted to share it with ya'll along with a few other classic Olsen pics... The pictures say it all:
I find this so amusing even though it is not about TV!!! :)
I am so excited that it is almost August which means that the shows are about to start up again with new seasons... YAY I will have so much more to blog about when all the new shows start, I can't wait! Ok so here are dates that some of the most popular shows are returning...GET EXCITED:
Prison Break*- Monday Sept 1 (this one got moved back originally was August 25)
Bones* - Wednesday Sept 3
Fringe* - Tuesday Sept 9 (this one got moved back as well originally August 26)
Survivor - Thursday Sept 18
As I previous reported Amy Poehler has been picked up by NBC to be the lead in one of their new comedies. However it is NOT the Office spin off she will be part of, she will be on another comedy that does not take place in an office but has similar comedic timing. The Office spin off is still in the works and may involve Jim's previous love interest Karen (Rashida Jones). Nothing is official yet but I will keep you up to date. For more info about this click the link below:
Newest trailer includes Stephanie going after Laurens Boy and Heidi & Spencer fighting over Heidi's sister coming to live with them....hmmm Looks interesting!http://www.usmagazine.com/Stephanie-Pratt-Goes-After-Lauren-Conrads-GuyOk so here are my rankings of last nights routines... My top three couples stayed the same :) I attached the youtube links below each dance so you can watch if you are completely in the dark about all of this....
1. Twitch and Kherington - Viennese waltz
Ok so I went back and forth between these two and Katee and Josh for who should rank first.... It is hard for me to judge the technical part of the routines (not sure which one was more on point) but I thought that the emotion, music and lighting of Twitchington's routine gave them an upper hand on Katee and Josh. This was probably the first Viennese Waltz that I really enjoyed. The emotion behind the number obviously helped draw us all into the routine more but I thought that the two performed the dance wonderfully. Twitch really surprised me with his arms and flow of his body...HE DID GREAT. I think that Kherington is a beautiful dancer and probably will master anything they throw at her...I somewhat agreed with Mia Michaels that she smiles the entire time...I actually noticed this in her auditions, she never stops smiling during her numbers...I would love to see a different type of emotion elude form her. I think when they get a contemporary number we will HOPEFULLY see a different side of her. BUT OVERALL GREAT JOB!!!!
http://youtube.com/watch?v=__EXo7TUPu0
2. Katee and Josh - Broadway
I love this couple, they are my very favorite!!!!! Katee has just caught on fire, it is funny bc I actually think she had a lot of people that didn't like her when the competition started bc when it was down to her and her friend for the top 20 there was some drama. BUT she has come on the show full force. Josh and Katee have such great chemistry and connection together on stage...they are always SO together. I love it...Last night they really did so great...I loved how the judges gave them a standing ovation.....I think Josh is going to surprise everyone through out the competition....I could watch it over and over loved it!!!!
http://youtube.com/watch?v=nVVELvdg4Y0
3. Chelsie and Mark - Argentine Tango
Ofcourse this is Chelsie's style but I thought they executed it perfectly...I completed agree with Mia Michaels when she said they are a combination of beauty and quirkiness which is wonderful. I truly love them together. The foot work in this dance was very complicated and fast and I thought they both did great!!! They drew me in and made it look easy.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=5X9TN9HxXUY
4. Courtney and Gev- Contemporary
Can we say Awkward!!! I thought is was so awkward how Gev kind of poured out his heart on his feelings for Courtney when he knows she had a boyfriend that whole part was kind of weird. Anyways I thought that they did the dance very well....I actually really liked Courtney's performance the best....She really drew me in and made me believe she was in love. The judges gave more props to Gev probably bc he is a b boy so they were impressed with the transformation. Gev did do a good job of pulling this style off. I give it two thumbs up.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=xB28TKroVTc
5. Jessica and William - Hip Hop
I really didn't enjoy this dance very much it was ok...I also didn't enjoy the costumes (not sure why, maybe they were too baggy?). During the performance I actually enjoyed Jessica's performance more than Williams...I think that Will is a great dancer and technically might be the best in the competition but I didn't buy this style on him...he was a little too cheesy. Ofcourse the judges don't agree with me and said that they didn't even notice Jessica on stage...hmmm I think they definitely have some favoritism there :)
Couldn't find youtube link
6. Kourtni and Matt - Foxtrot
They did better than last week, Michael thought they did really well...I just hate that I find them awkward and uncomfortable with everything they do. The dance was pretty good I guess but I honestly think they look so uncomfortable up there...especially her. I can't wait till they get Contemporary and see if they do better with it.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=AZ-Y762ugAM
7. Comfort and Chris- Krump
I am going to be honest and say I am not sure I have ever really loved a Krump routine. They definitely didn't hit it hard enough. I though Comfort did well but I honestly didn't enjoy the choreography, it was blah along with the music. Chris actually surprised me and hit it harder than I thought he would. Overall it wasn't very memorable and it was a so-so performance.
Couldn't find youtube link
8. Chelsea and Thayne- Jazz
This dance probably did have potential but I never got drawn in, I guess that means I never bought it. I think Mia was very accurate when she said that we never bought that he was a king and that she was his forbidden mistress....I never felt that through out the dance...the music was good though.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=v-ZrzEtrSO8
9. Susie and Marquis- Salsa
They really had to work at this dance...I felt exhausted for them the entire routine...they didn't make anything look easy. I felt bad for her bc she over heard Jon Marc saying she wasn't really a Salsa dancer... That probably was hard to hear. I agree with the judges though she should have brought more...I definitely think they are in trouble tonight especially her bc if she lands in the bottom three they may say that this was her style and she should have been in the very top not the bottom....but we will see what America thought tonight!

Here is Buddy TV's rankings of last nights performances (mine is slightly different):

Men in Trees: returns this Wednesday for its FINAL three episodes.. this is your chance to get some closure on the show.
90210 - the previews to this show definitely have me intrigued...I am sure it will be another OC type of show...which I do love. Tori Spelling is set to reprise her role as "Donna Martin" for guest appearences on the new show this fall!
http://community.tvguide.com/blog-entry/TVGuide-News-Blog/Todays-News/Tori-Spelling-90210/800040428
David Cook and Kimberly Caldwell (American Idol season 2) went on a date...David Cook confirmed this on Regis and Kelly Tuesday morning. He says "They'll probably hang out again." I don't have a comment on this at the moment.

Josiah Lemming signs a record deal and calls AI glorified karaoke. This is probably true but he probably should just keep his mouth shut given the fact that the only reason he got a record deal is because of his exposure on American Idol. I believe he is young and just learning how to deal in hollywood. I am excited for his album.
http://tvwatch.people.com/2008/05/27/idol-contestant-josiah-leming-calls-show-glorified-karaoke/
In other news with past American Idol contestants...Sanjaya is filming a commerical for Nationwide...I guess he decided to take a turn off the singing route. This is probably very wise.

List of canceled shows on the link below: Included on the list October Road, Las Vegas, Oprahs Big Give, Big Shots, Cashmere Mafia, Here Comes the Newlyweds, Girlfriends, Beauty and the Geek, Pussycat Dolls Presents, 1 vs 100 and many more!

Now on to what is on TV right now:
So you think you can dance: I love love love this show and am so pumped about it being on. Last week they had the two hour premeire!!! I already have some favorites: Robert being at the top of my list. The show airs episode 2 tonight from 7-9 on fox.
LOST: the two hour finale of Lost airs tomorrow night (Thursday)...I am so ready! I hope that it is as good as they have built it up to be. I can't wait to find out how those 6 end up together and safe... And the big question on my mind where is Sawyer??? And where is he now?? (my guess still on the Island, I think they "move" the Island and so no one can find it anymore since it isn't at those exact cordinates)...Just a guess though. Can't wait!!!!
The Bacherlorette: Ok so one thing I really love about this season is that the guys are staying in that cabin kind of area and that each week three guys get to go live with her, it kind of mixes things up. Right now I am liking Graham the best. And I am not sure why everyone is harping on Jeremy so much, I don't think he has done anything crazy. My least favorite right now is Twilly... What are your thoughts and comments????
Denise Richards: It's Complicated: Ok so I was intrigued by this show and now I am hooked. I don't even really like Denise Richards and she makes me like her less in the show but it is so interesting to watch. I know I shouldn't.
Living Lohan: I was somewhat intrigued but this show, I must admit I would have been more intrigued if Lindsay was actually on the show but still I found myself watching it. I don't think this show will go on my TiVo though, I didn't find them interesting enough to watch weekly.
Shows to look out for this Summer:
MTV Movie Awards this Sunday June 1 at 7 on MTV

Here is a sneak peek at Britney Spears on How I Met Your Mother. She will be making her second appearance on the show on Monday May 12.

American Idol:
Jason Castro is the most recent contestant to be cut from the show but don't feel bad about it because he doesn't. Paula said he was ready to leave the show. He didn't seem upset at all to be leaving. I think he will have a great career. He may not be a top selling artist but I think he will be able to do what he loves and make a living off it which seems like all he really wants.
http://www.usmagazine.com/paula-abdul-jason-castro-it-was-time-him-go
Did Jason so desperately want to be voted off that he mouthed "Don't Vote" after his performances on Tuesday or was he mouthing "Vote Vote"...you decide...

Previous Contestants Carly Smithson and Michael Johns performed on Ellen Monday here is a clip of one of the songs they sang...."One" by U2. I am thinking they should make an album together...I would buy it for sure...They were probably the strongest two vocalists in the competition.

The Hills:
The Hills has been picked up for a 4th season which has already started filming...Tell me are you TEAM LO or TEAM AUDRINA????...Sorry but I am still convinced that Lo is better than what they show of her. I love her still but I hope she stops being so snotty soon. For now TEAM LO!!!!

Brothers & Sisters: The cast reveals some hints on what to expect from B&S finale and next season. There will be some major cliffhangers in next weeks finale. Sarah will find out another BIG secret about her father. Who are the two cast members not returning for Season 3? I was thinking it was Danny Glovers character but I am not sure he was ever considered a major role....Michael thinks maybe Saul dies in this coming up episode...but who knows??? I guess we will just have to watch!!!
http://www.buddytv.com/articles/brothers-and-sisters/brothers-sisters-cast-hints-on-19065.aspx
Desperate Housewives: There is always so much drama on Wisteria Lane and we don't have to expect anything different in the upcoming episodes. The drama is going to hit the fan with Kayla. Also we have heard that next season they are going to fast forward 5 years, does this mean recasting for the children???
http://www.buddytv.com/articles/desperate-housewives/desperate-housewives-is-kayla-19063.aspx
Lost:
We are returning to the freighter this week on Lost...yay I love Sayid. I feel like it has been a while since we have seen what is going on aboard the boat. Also I am anxious to see what Kate was doing for Sawyer...I really hope he isn't dead because I enjoy his character (I doubt he is). Any thoughts on what you think might happen in upcoming episodes???
This was one persons opinion of whether Claire is alive or dead...it seems pretty accurate but you NEVER know with LOST.
Claire – Odds: Even Money I keep coming back to the fact that Claire would never willingly part with her bay-bay. Even if there were only so many seats on the way home, there's no way Kate would steal a seat from Claire – ditto for Sayid or Jack or Hurley. What circumstance would see Claire willingly part from her child? Thursday's episode should answer some of those questions, but I still think Claire will be offed by the season finale
Nicole Richie...I love her...I know I might be weird but she makes me laugh. I think she looks great in this picture and how precious is Harlow??
Entourage: New season will begin September 2008...they have begun filming
http://justjared.buzznet.com/2008/05/07/entourage-adrian-grenier-urth/
Greys Anatomy:
Katherine Heigl wants out of her Greys contract...Don't worry loyal watchers ABC's not going to let that happen. But is saddens me that she wants to leave. Rumors are that she doesn't think she needs Grey's anymore since her two movies were box office GOLD. I am just glad we don't have to worry about Izzie leaving Seattle Grace anytime soon! I am all for the "big kiss" at the end of this season being between Izzie and Alex...Yay!
