What are your favorite Comedies?

Not About The Bachelor :)

I started looking through my latest posts and realized that all I have been talking about lately is The Bachelor (it is such a guilty pleasure)! I know soon the only thing I will be blogging about will be American Idol (Once we get past the Hollywood round). BUT there are other things going on in the TV World so lets look at a few:

Grey's Anatomy:

WOW!!! This past weeks episode was pretty intense. Do we really think Izzy is going to die??? We knew the entire time that one of the likely reason that Izzy was seeing Denny was that she was sick but I must admit I never thought he would be there "for here." It seems like he was there to "take her home." Very interesting but this really doesn't explain everything that went down between them but I really really hope that she doesn't die. I like Izzy's character but more so for Alex. He finally found someone he really loves and he has been through so much I just really want for him to be able to be happy for at least a few months! This will be interesting to see the story line unfold. Will Izzy get to finally meet her daughter??? Will we meet her mother???

The story line with the PDR and the boy was pretty intense I felt myself going back and forth with the story line. I really find it silly to think if this man is pretty much dying and he will for sure be killed in 5 days and WANTS to sacrifice himself not to let him to save the young boy. Before you go crazy let me explain a couple things...I am actually AGAINST the death penalty (I am sure there are some gasps out there) BUT in this situation he was going to be killed nothing I can do about that (ultimately I wouldn't want that). I don't really understand saving a man's life just so the families could see him tortured! It seems if the families knew his organs were saving a young child they would want to do that!!! RIGHT??? Plus it is highly unlikely that another person would be on life support in the hospital for them to use their organs. The writers created the ending they wanted which appeased all, the boy lives and the PDR was still executed as planned. The other part of this story line was interesting to me...Meredith's compassion for this man. I really related to her in this story line (might be the first time in history). I know he murdered a bunch of people, I know this BUT I don't see how I could be in a room with someone that I knew everyone hated, everyone wanted to die, and knew he was going to be executed in 5 days and NOT have compassion on him. Is he not still a human being?? Is he not still a child of God??? I think what Meredith did was great! I think her going to his execution was the right thing. I am going to get off this topic now bc this is definitely a heated discussion! There are some of you that might stop reading my blog. I wish you wouldn't, I wish you would share your thoughts?

There were some other great story-lines through out the last couple episodes that were great:

Derek's mom coming to visit, meeting Meredith and giving Derek her engagement ring! That is so powerful that was her ring from her husband that was killed. That is pretty huge for her to be giving it to Derek to give to Meredith (when she clearly didn't give it to him to give to Addison).

Mark & Lexie relationship heating up... and causing BIG problems. It was a nice break from the intense story lines when Mark "broke a bone." Plus I love the end when Lexie crawls into bed and rubs his hair. The writers are winning me over on this couple.

Cristina & Meredith- I loved the way Cristina and Meredith came together in this episode. Sometimes it does take something big to make us realize how stupid our fights and priorities can be, I loved the moment that Derek took Meredith to her! (Oh and I didn't say it but I loved that Derek went to the prison and waited for Meredith).

I am so excited about upcoming episodes of Grey's Anatomy. I feel like the show is getting good again. We are really exploring the characters and that is what I love about the show. I am excited to see Private Practice and Grey's Cross Over, I have been waiting for more interaction with Addison and Derek. I also am excited to see where the Izzy story line goes now that Denny is gone (for NOW) and we can find out what is going on with her, and I want to see how Alex reacts.

Gossip Girl:

I have not loved the episodes lately of GG, probably because it doesn't seem to have as much drama and there aren't many episodes with Chuck and Blair together! However I am excited to see some upcoming events. Georgina is coming back soon and the rumor is she comes back bc B & S are in trouble and have no one else they can turn to...hmmm interesting. Also an old couple that "people weren't fond of" are getting back together and we are promised it is not Chuck and Blair or Nate and Jenny. I am thinking that maybe Nate and Blair are getting back together...any thoughts????

Also I am on pins and needles waiting for everyone to find out that Rufus and Lilly's long lost child is in fact still alive. This might be months away though.

The other big question on Fans minds is now that Senior year is coming to a close ....what does that mean for Gossip Girl??? New York City is such a huge part of the show, are we going to change locations??? Are they all going to end up in New York City??? Will GG start writing about new high schoolers?? Or will they pull a One Tree Hill and leap forward years??? I guess "Only Time Will Tell..."

The City:

Whitney Port and her fellow cast mates have been picked up for a second season. I am not nearly as into The City as I first was The Hills... but both shows aren't great to me any more yet they still find a spot on my TiVo!

Best TV Couples of 2008: (According to BuddyTV)

18. Lucas & Brooke (One Tree Hill) They aren't together in 2008 but people love brucas and the fact they have survived as close friends after all the drama they have been through.

15. Sawyer & Kate (Lost)

14. Jim & Pam (The Office)

Lost:

Ok so the big premiere of Lost was last week and don't think I have forgotten about it... honestly it is too complex for me to get into right now. But I am not a big fan of the time traveling, I wish it would stop. However after reading my friend Mary's blog I am intrigued by some of the story lines. Read her blog to get detailed recaps and discovery's: http://maryelere.wordpress.com/2009/01/27/down-the-wormhole/

I also am not at ALL convinced that Jin is dead. He is definitely still alive.

I came across this today and thought it was great:

The Bachelor's Jason:

I know I said I wasn't going to write anything about the Bachelor but I have had some people ask for me to find out some information about Jason, I guess I could just call Shannon ;)

Question 1: Is he really wealthy?

This doesn't tell us everything but he is probably not REALLY RICH!

Q: Can you tell us about your house?

A: Oh, I live in not a very big house. I mean, it might be 1,200 square feet, three bedrooms. It’s big enough for Ty and me to hang out and play. One of our pieces of furniture is a big bean bag instead of a couch.

Question 2: How Long Was He Married?
Q: How long were you married?

A: We dated for five years and were married for three years. It’s part of my life experience. You know, I would never get married and think it was ever going to end and it wasn’t my choice for the marriage to end. But there’s a lot of things in life that are out of your control and you just have to deal with them.

Click the link below to read in detail about how they met, their wedding, etc.

Question 3: Does he have custody of Ty?

This definitely makes it sound like he does have custody. However, I believe they share custody.

Q: Will you remain in Kirkland?

A: Yeah, there’s no way I’m moving away from the Kirkland area because that’s where I am with Ty and I would never take him away from his mom.

"He was previously married to Hilary Buckholz-Monrean, but the couple divorced in 2006. They share a three year old son, Ty. Ty is a central part of his life, as his ex-wife travels a lot with her job and he, therefore, spends a lot of time with his son."

Profession: Insurance

Current Car: Nissan Maxima

Countdown to American Idol

AMERICAN IDOL:

1 MORE DAY until American Idol is back and my fingers will be tired for sure ;) I love to write about American Idol... Not sure why but maybe it is because it is a show that I am 100% suppose to have an opinion about!!! I love to watch it and make judgements...wow that sounds really bad... but isn't that what the show is all about???

I have made myself a promise this year that I will not fall in love with a contestant before the top 12!!! The last two years my favorites did not make the top 12 and this was pretty annoying to lose your favorite so quickly... so this year I am going to try to really get warmed up to them before picking my favorite, how many people think this is actually going to happen???

Here is a look back at my two favorites from the last two years that got cut before their time:

His two performances that won me over:

I would like to throw out there that Carly Smithson was another one of my favorites from auditions and she did make it to the top 12 last year so it wasn't all bad!

Happy Watching

Sexiest Man Alive

Two of My Favorites "Old" and "New" made the list:




My "Old" crush from Dawson's Creek (Joshua Jackson) and my new crush from Gossip Girl (Ed Wistwick) both made the cut.

Neither of them won the coveted award of "THE SEXIEST MAN ALIVE" but they were among the top 25. It is weird bc neither of them at first glance are that attractive to me but something about their presence is very attractive. I don't agree with most of the list I saw and I definitely don't think Hugh Jackman is the Sexiest Man Alive but he is however attractive.

What are your thoughts on the list???


Top 10 Break-Out Stars of 2008: (According to ew.com)

Either I am really old or they picked some random people, most of the people on the list I haven't even heard of, see what you think:

• Robert Pattinson (Harry Potter & Twilight)
• Demi Lovato (Singer, Camp Rock)
• Russell Brand (Awful VMA's host)
• Estelle (Singer)
• Shailene Woodley (The Secret Life of An American Teenager)
• David Cook (American Idol)

I agree more with this list:

• Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother)
• Leona Lewis (Singer - "Bleeding Love")
• Michael Phelps
• Richard Jenkins (Step Brothers & Burn After Reading)
• Katy Perry (Singer -"I kissed a Girl")
• Facebook
• Jon Hamn (Mad Men)

America's Next Top Model:
Tonight is the finale of America's Next Top Model and I don't know about ya'll but I REALLY want Analeigh to run away with it. I really don't like the other two girls left, I know that is harsh but they have bad attitudes. Analeigh is so sweet, genuine and takes great photos.

Top 10 Christmas Movies

Ok so I was just browsing Christmas movies trying to think of what movie to watch Thanksgiving night (my family always watches a Christmas Movie on Thanksgiving Night). Anyways when I was browsing through the selection I started to think what are my favorite Christmas Movies?? And since I love LISTS here it goes... these are MY personal favorites:

10. The Family Stone

9. It's A Wonderful Life

8. The Santa Clause

7. Miracle on 34th Street (I actually like the remake...I know my sister thinks I am crazy too).

6. How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the cartoon)

5. A Charlie Brown Christmas

4. Elf

3. Christmas Vacation
2. Home Alone

1. A Christmas Story

What do you think of my list??? Did I forget your favorite??? Perhaps you prefer A Christmas Carol, White Christmas, The Nutcracker, The Grinch, Or Polar Express....What are your favorites??

The Bachelor's Matt & Shayne Split:Is anyone really surprised by this news.... the two have been together for several months "riding the PR wave" and said they tried to make it work but their lives were headed in two different directions. I (along with most of America) thought from the beginning that Shayne was just in it for Publicity, who knows for sure if that is true I guess time might tell. The only question left is will DeAnna and Jesse really make it down the aisle?

http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20214906,00.html

Ask-Elizabeth: Elizabeth Berkley to have her own tv show on MTV.

The show will center around Berkley conducting self-esteem workshops around the country with adolescent girls. The show will not only show the work shops but the girls in their hometowns...the show is still a working progress but has been confirmed. I have one thing to say "I'm so excited, I'm so excited, I'm just so scared."

Top 10 Hollywood "Bromances":
This is quite amusing to me bc I just had a discussion about this word last night over dinner with friends....I don't believe this are in any particular order:

Brad Pitt & George Clooney

Vince Vaughn & Jon Favreau

Leonardo DiCaprio & Tobey Maguire

Ben Affleck & Matt Damon

Will Ferrell & John C. Reilly

Ben Stiller & Owen Wilson

Lance Armstrong & Matthew McConaughey

Ryan Seacrest & Simon Cowell

Seth Rogen & Johah Hill

Tom Cruise & Will Smith

http://www.tvguide.com/PhotoGallery/Hollywood_s_Biggest_Bromances_1260/1.aspx

So You Think You Can Dance:

So lets talk about it. First off I agree with girls 100% Comfort and Courtney probably deserved to be in the bottom two and it was definitely Comforts time to go home. Will & Twitch were definitely some what of a surprise but I have always said that on shows like these if someone is in the bottom one week and they don't get sent home they have a better shot at staying the next week because their fans will be voting like crazy to keep them safe. That being said I wasn't completely in shock that Mark wasn't in the bottom two, however he probably did deserve to be in the bottom two over Twitch or Will, in fact he probably deserved to go home. All that being said I was rather satisfied with last nights results show bc I think next week Twitch fans are going to save him since he was in the bottom, and I seriously doubt Mark will out last Joshua. Also I believe even though Courtney was in the bottom the chances are pretty good that she will be going home next week. If I am right and Mark & Courtney go home next week then the finale will be just like I want it Twitch, Josh, Katee & Chelsie and I honestly don't think I will care who wins, I love them all.... Looking over this seasons results shows Comfort was in the bottom 6 out of the 7 weeks (crazy that she made it through so many times huh?) Will was in the bottom 3 out of 7 times. Out of the contestants remaining Courtney and Twitch have been in the bottom two times, Mark has only been in the bottom once, and Katee, Chelsie, and Joshua have NEVER been in the bottom (that is because they ROCK)!!!! Looking forward to next week!!!

Happy Watching

New Shows

Ok so Michael and I are trying to get into a few new shows..I know crazy right, like we don't have enough already? Well right now we only have 1 real show we watch each week, our TiVo may see things differently bc it tapes (Denise Richards, Living Lohan, Regis & Kelly, & Legally Blonde) but the only show that both of us ARE really into is So You Think You Can Dance. All that being said we want to get into some shows that we have heard great things about over the years. We are currently in the process of catching up with 24 (we are on season 5), and last night we added a new show to our list. We rented Weeds the showtime series, does anyone out there watch this? Mary Louise Parker has received rave reviews over the years for this show and won multiple awards. Michael and I watched 2 episodes last night and were pleased with them, but I hope the depth of the show continues to grow. If you are a weeds fan, let me know. Some other shows we are thinking about starting:

Arrested Development

The Wire

Boston Legal

We can't start all of these right now, does anyone have any feedback to which show we should start watching??? Or is there another show out there that we should get into??? I am really wanting feedback to decide our next show.

Shows Starting Tonight:

Saving Grace & The Closer both return to TNT tonight. Both of these shows have received rave reviews. For more information about the premieres click the links below:

http://community.tvguide.com/blog-entry/TV-Show-Blog/Tv-Previews/Closer-Season-4/800043072

On the same note Big Brother started last night and will air Sunday, Tuesday & Wednesday of each week.

90210: No David Silver

In a recent interview with TV Guide Brian Austin Green said that he has not been approached by the producers of 90210 to return and probably wouldn't. He basically said he is still thought of as David Silver and is trying to get away from that, poor boy :)http://www.tvguide.com/news/brian-austin-green/080714-01

Dark Knight:

I know this is not TV but I thought it was note worthy. The Dark Knight hits theatres this weekend. This is definitely the most talked about release in a really long time (maybe since Brokeback Mountain). The movie was going to be big no matter what but due to Heath Ledgers untimely death the movie has had more press than any movie this summer. The following article talks about the movie and gives it great reviews. They gave all the key players great feedback except Maggie Gyllenhaal. They said Heath's role is amazing but so are the others in the movie. They also said it was too long (it is 2 and 1/2 hours long). I am so excited to see this movie!!! :) http://www.accesshollywood.com/article/10316/moviemantz-review-the-dark-knight/

What do you think about Dark Knight are you going to see it or skip it?

The Hills:

Rumors were stirring over the weekend that Audrina had moved out of the house she shared with Lauren & Lo because there was reportedly a fight between two females at the house that caused the police to show up & a moving truck at their house. Audrina & Lauren both deny that Audrina has moved out. Lauren said the fight was between her stylist & neighbor and the moving truck was really a delivery truck delivering new furniture. For more info on the situation read the article below. Also for all latest news on The Hills read my friend Areta's blog at http://www.thehillsbythehill.blogspot.com/

http://www.usmagazine.com/audrina-patridge-i-didnt-move-out

Are you looking forward to the Hills return in August?

Ali Lohan's New Single: It isn't bad but it isn't great either, a pretty good beat.

What do you think??

What Are Your Thoughts??

Great Actors, Bad Movies:

Michael and I were talking about how there are some incredible actors that have hit some all time lows with some really bad movies.... I have listed some below:

Matt Damon = Stuck on You

George Clooney= Solaris

Susan Sarandon= Shall We Dance

Cuba Gooding Jr.= Daddy Day Camp

Who are some other great actors that made bad movies????

Best Comedic Actors of Our Generation:

On the same note who do you think are among the best comedic actors of our generation??? I say our generation bc if I said of all time it would be so difficult to narrow down we all know that Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, John Belushi etc helped pave the road to comedy today but who will we always remember???

My List:

***Chris Farley*** Loved him!!!

David Spade (best side kick of all time)

Adam Sandler

Will Farrell

Vince Vaughn

Steve Carrell

Do you agree or have more thoughts????

So You Think You Can Dance:

I have to start by saying that I really enjoyed last night overall. But ofcourse my top few are staying at the top again this week (maybe I am biased). Here is my break down of last nights performance from best to worst:

1. Chelsie Hightower and Mark: Hip-hop

I am going to start off by saying these two are contemporary and ballroom dancers!!! I thought knowing the story behind the moves helped tremendously bc we felt every movement they did, we understood what was happening. I loved every single move!!! Chelsie's facial expressions and emotions in this dance were incredible, there is definitely a reason I put her as the top girl in this competition yesterday! LOVED IT LOVED IT LOVED IT!!!

http://youtube.com/watch?v=ovjAuBuepVA

2. Joshua and Katee: Samba

Ok once again we have to remember that these are hip hop and contemporary dancers. Joshua really does have such great movement to the music. They both looked great and drew me in, usually these dances aren't as fun to watch but they made it one of my favorites of the night. Loved them both they had such great chemistry once again.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=aDho5N62Adc

3. Courtney and Gev: Rumba

These two are creeping higher and higher up my list each week. They had great chemistry on stage and made the dance look so easy and effortless. When you watch the technique of this dance it was so difficult and they pulled it off beautifully.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=2_W1u-K7dS8

4. Kourtni and Matt: Contemporary

This was not my favorite routine but it was pretty good. I thought Kourtni and Matt did a much better job than the last few weeks but they SHOULD have because this is there style. I wasn't blown away by the routine but I was entertained.

5. Twitch and Kherington: Hip-hop

Ok so I know a lot of people may have this dance higher on the list but I am sorry I wasn't impressed with this at all. I guess I was pleasantly surprised with Kherington (she didn't smile the entire time). I think that Tabitha and Napoleon are really good with the emotional hip hop routines but when it comes to the hard hitting stuff they just aren't gangster enough to pull it off. This was too soft for what it was suppose to be. They did a pretty good job with what they were given.

6. William and Jessica: Disco

Ok so each week the judges go off about how wonderful Will is (can we say "judges favorite") and don't get me wrong I think that technically he is probably one of the best if not the best in the competition but I still haven't really been drawn in by him. It could be the dances he has been given but something is missing for me. I think when he does his solos it is amazing but I have yet to be blown away by him or Jessica during one of their partner routines. Disco is never one of my favorites and I am not sure why but they did a pretty good job. They had mistakes that even I could see which is not speaking well of their performance.

7. Comfort and Chris: Jazz

Unlike Twitchington which was given an ok dance and performed it well, Comfort and Chris were given an amazing routine and did not perform well. Comfort and Chris were given this raw amazing routine with jungle passion and they performed it almost like there own styles. Chris performed it like a contemporary routine and made it too soft and over exaggerated. Comfort performed it like hip hop which is probably why the judges thought that she did better than Chris. Hip hop is a little more hard hitting and edgy but it still isn't what this piece called for. These two are in trouble for sure. I will be surprise if Chris doesn't get sent home.

8. Chelsea and Thayne: Quickstep

This routine fell very very flat. Nigel was right on when he said they had pasted smiles on their face I felt like they were counting out each move...this did not look effortless at all it really looked like they were trying really really hard. We knew they weren't uncomfortable which is going to probably put them in the bottom three again tonight. They are both in trouble tonight.

My prediction for the bottom three:

Chelsea and Thayne

Comfort and Chris

Kourtni and Matt (maybe William and Jessica)

The Real World: Hollywood

Ok so did anyone catch this episode last night?? I really have never found myself in tears watching The Real World but I was holding them back last night. I was just watching the show and all of the sudden it was a surreal moment. Just curious if anyone else was taken back by last nights episode?

Info NOT about the Bachelorette :)

One Tree Hill:
Lindsay from One Tree Hill has been cast in next seasons Law & Order: SVU which means Lucas probably didn't ask her to Las Vegas :)

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.

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!!!

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???

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??

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!
