DANNY DEVITO I LOVE YOUR WORK

Posted by AllieB on September 29, 2010

I’ve been a B Spears fan since day numero uno. When she was in her heyday she outdid herself each year at the VMA’s, and it was my favorite thing to watch. I’m not even going to talk about the debacle of 2007 (MANIC ’07), but the years prior to that were amazing.

Last night Glee, a show I’ve come to really enjoy, did the music of Britney Spears. My favorite cast member, Brittany (coincidence!!), did the best version with her rendition of Slave 4 U. Please watch below. Just for my own personal enjoyment I’ve included a video of Britney herself doing it back in ’01. Viva la Britney!

The real thing:

If I had access to a python, wasn’t terrified of snakes, and it was socially acceptable to wear that ensemble in public (and look like that in it), I would so be this version of Britney for Halloween. Sorry I’m not sorry.

Uninspiring Words for the Uninspired

Posted by AllieB on September 13, 2010

It’s Monday. I’m really tired. I’ve restricted all non-work related interaction to the following words:

Meh. Neat. Blerg.

All three of these are highly effective conversation enders. Give it a try – people leave you alone pretty much immediately, unless you’re talking to Hilary and she will not. She will just ask you more questions until you feel like your head might explode and you have to step away from your computer.

As a nod to the season premier’s of 90210 and Gossip Girl, both of which air TONIGHT, I share with you this mildly entertaining clip. (It wasn’t until I read a post on my own blog that I remembered this exciting bit of news. I feel very appreciative of my blogging efforts because I had totally forgotten they were coming on tonight, and my Monday Mania just decreased tenfold. Thanks, AllieB – consider your horn tooted.  (Tooted. Ha.))

Anyway, this clip is a mash-up of various GG clips from 2008 done in the style of the old-school 90210 credits. The little blonde girl with the big eyes and fresh face who you won’t recognize as a current cast member is Taylor Momsen, which, to use her words, makes me wanna die. She went from Cindy Lou Hoo to JailBait McMegaSlore pretty much overnight. It saddens me…it really does.

Yaaaaaaay Fall TV is back…!

That’s enough, Tenley

Posted by AllieB on September 7, 2010

Summertime TV is not my favorite thing. Networks – especially those of the cable variety – have done a good job of spacing out their programming so that there’re some decent shows during the months that all the major networks are on hiatus, but it’s still tough going. I found Bachelor Pad to be among the worst of these filler shows, and I’m thankful that soon How I Met Your Mother, Gossip Girl, and 90210 will return to my Monday evening line-up.

That said…fall is near; new tv is almost here!! This site provides a complete, comprehensive list of premiere dates, and here are some especially worth noting:

  • Gossip Girl – Mon Sept 13: I hear it’s going to be better than last season – let’s hope so
  • 90210 – Mon Sept 13: will Annie come clean? Will Naomi’s cruel older sister continue to ruin her life? We shall see…
  • Top Chef: Just Desserts – Wed Sept 15: I love all things Top Chef
  • Always Sunny in Philadelphia – Thurs Sept 16: there are no words that could even remotely convey my excitement
  • How I Met Your Mother – Mon Sept 20: I’m about ready to meet this mother, myself
  • Glee – Tues Sept 21: there’s going to be an episode featuring B. Spears and her music this season, and I cannot wait
  • Running Wilde – Tues Sept 21: this new sitcom from the producers of Arrested Development stars Will Arnett and Keri Russell (LOVE Keri Russell – she’s just so pretty, and I really liked her Emmy outfit, too). There are especially high expectations for this one, and a recent blurb in the Wall Street Journal said that the pilot was not a huge hit with a case study group, so cast and script changes were to be made. I will for sure watch.
  • The Middle – Wed Sept 22: surprisingly hilarious, comes on before Modern Family – it’s worth a watch
  • Modern Family – Wed Sept 22: obvi
  • Cougar Town – Wed Sept 22: I love the cast of this show – they have great chemistry. Jennifer Anniston guest stars in season premiere as Jules’s (Courteney Cox) therapist.
  • 30 Rock – Thurs Sept 22: der
  • Grey’s Anatomy – Thurs Sept 23: I still watch this program and it’s really good, esp now that Katherine Heigl is gone
  • My Generation – Thurs Sept 23: a new drama on ABC – people reconvene at a ten year high school reunion, secrets are revealed, pots are stirred…could be good
  • The Office – Thurs Sept 22: Steve Carrell’s final season…sometimes my hyper-sensitive secondhand awkwardness has difficulty with this show
  • Saturday Night Live – Sat Sept 25: Amy Poehler hosts and Katy Perry will provide the music
  • Desperate Housewives – Sun Sept 26: it just keeps getting better, IMO
  • Brothers & Sisters – Sun Sept 26: the season finale was heart-wrenching – can’t wait to see how things turn out
  • The Good Wife – Tues Sept 28: last year’s first season was a huge success, it’s one of my favorites

A gem from Modern Family – it gets real good around 1:08.
