Kate’s boyfriend Paul comes to visit and Natalie puts the moves on right away! I’m not sure how I feel about this guy yet; he seems a little boring, or what I like to call an NONP (no opinion no personality).  Still, he makes Kate happy, and I think Kate was real this episode and is going to try and be more real as the season progresses.  She gets mad at Natalie because, as we all know, Natalie is a GIANT BEYOTCH, and Kate throws Natalie’s make-up out the window.  Natalie retaliates by talking shit about Kate to Paul and spitting in Kate’s face.  DISGUSTING.  Still, I’m not sure Natalie is being fake!  I think she just has a personality disorder.  Can we get this girl into some intensive individual therapy?  I think she’s is mentally ill but being as real as she can be given her mental illness.

Kendra was AMAZING this episode.   After getting ‘serviced’ by a rando man she meets in da club she says “If everybody had sex in this house, everybody would be friends.  Guaranteed.” And I think she is 100% right.  She was being totally real and brutally honest with the audience when talking about the sex she’s having and the sex the girls should be having.  These girls are all in heat and really need to get some, but instead they’re taking out their sexual frustrations on each other with drunken fights.

Hey Lexie, do people still say ‘totally buggin’ ?!?!  No, they do not.  This isn’t Clueless (RIP Brittany Murphy) and the ’90s are long gone.  I think she is trying, though.  We got a glimpse of the real Lexie when she’s chatting with Kate’s boyfriend, Paul, in the pool room.  This Lexie is sweet, down-to-earth, and wants to find someone that makes her happy.  Put some liquor in this girl and I think her insecurities take over.  She was acting totally fake at the club and in the limo.  She’s just trying to fit in with all the other bad bitches of the house but I don’t think she’s coming off how she means to.

As usual, Flo is aggressive and abrasive, but I still think she’s being real.  In her heart of hearts she has the best intentions for herself and the other girls.  While at the club, Kendra is pretty much dry-humping the air in a miniskirt and a thong, because, ya know, that’s how you get what you want in this town.  Flo tries to pull her aside to get her to stop, but Kendra is a lady on a mission to get some (more) ass.  Naturally, this gets blown way out of proportion and Flo and Kendra go at it in the limo.  There was no hitting, but Flo manages to break the limo’s interior lighting. When they get to the house it finally gets physical.  Kendra gives Flo a little slap in the face and Flo pushes her.  Flo ends the episode by saying “Ain’t none of these bitches on my good side” and frankly it’s a little scary!  My girl crush for Flo may be fading . . .

I think Annie is my girl now!  Annie is still very real and very, very sick of all the drama.  While these altercations are taking place at the mansion, Annie grabs a blanket and calls it a night on the pool furniture.  I like your style, Annie :)

Jimmy Kimmel kind of blew everyone away last night when he entered the stage of his own show last night dressed up like Jay Leno to deliver his monologue. Pretty funny bit, especially since Jimmy is often the forgotten host of late night. What was funnier though, was that he kept the bit up for the entire show, hosting with a prosthetic chin and wig and telling “Leno jokes” (Sample: “Do you know what ABC stands for? Always Bump Conan.”) Perhaps one of the best parts of the whole thing is Jimmy’s bandleader, Cleto Escobedo, doing a Kevin Eubanks impression to the side. I don’t think anything about this whole stunt made me laugh as hard as Cleto’s Eubanks.

It’s about 40 minutes long, but if you have a chance to watch it on your lunch break, do it. It’s very much worth it.

American Idol premiered last night and for the first time in the six years (only six years? I feel like this shit has been on my whole life), the ratings failed to crack the 30 million mark. They did OK and came in with about 29.8 million, but for a premiere and with Victoria Beckham holding down the judges table with, they probably could have done better. Of course, one major drawback to the show this season is that Paula Abdul is now gone. I don’t think I appreciated what a delicious nutty flavor she added to the panel until now. I mean, sure! I knew she was “on something”, I knew that slurring words during a talent competition was totally ridiculous and only acceptable because she’s insane, but I don’t think I ever thought to myself “This is what gives this show its X-Factor.”

I’m thinking it’s a really bad thing that Paula’s gone now. American Idol, for how seriously it takes itself, always seemed to be in on a bigger joke when Paula was on the panel. It was like, “We’re only watching this televised talent competition because that chick form the 80s who acts like a junkie is hilarious.” The panel last night though? Snore. Simon’s still mean, Randy’s still meaner because he acts nice but just sits there and laughs at Simon, and those skinny dark-haired broads were BOR-ING.

Also, did this first episode seem to work all the sad angles more than ever or what? It’s as if it doesn’t even matter if you’re a good singer, you have to be an OK singer who survived cancer or has an old person in their life or has low self-esteem. I was really OK with the fact that Kelly Clarkson just had a good voice. I don’t need her to have a hysterectomy in order for me to want to hear “Walk Away” in the shower every day. Once we’re voting for these people based on all the different variables– do we “like” them?, are they attractive?, does their story make us sad?, are they OK at singing?– the competition completely falls apart.

What did you think about the show last night? Any hopes for anyone who has made it so far to make it to the next round?

Oh, P.S. If you’re anything like my friend Chuck, you might want to get pumped up for the next round of auditions by doing something like this:

Sorry. I have no idea what’s wrong with him.

It was really just a matter of time. TLC’s finally announced the plans for Kate Gosselin’s solo-show (no Jon, no kids) and it sounds like it’s going to be obnoxious but completely watchable. The “reality” program is to show Kate out on the world on her own working different jobs. One week we’ll see Kate the hairdresser, the next we might see Kate the pastry chef. There’s no word on how many of these jobs will be in Kate’s local area or how much travelling she’ll have to do for the gigs, but a couple months ago she was filming at a diner in North Carolina where she waited tables.

While I get that Kate claims she has to keep up her hustle as a single mother (I can’t imagine that Jon will have too much to offer down the road in terms of financial support), it concerns me that she’s jumping right back in to the world of reality TV. Especially since she isn’t filming with her children. There are eight kids with recently divorced parents involved who likely need a lot of attention and care right now. It’s hard enough for one person to tend to eight kids, but when that person’s filming a reality show on top of it? Forget it, they won’t see their mom for months.

Okay, stupid Jessica Biel. After all these years, you have finally done something to impress me. Now, don’t get me wrong, I still don’t like you one bit, but I will give you credit here. Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro is a pretty decent accomplishment.

Jess and some friends, including Emile Hirsch and Elizabeth Gore, summitted the highest peak in Africa (at nearly 20,000 feet) in an effort to raise awareness about the need for clean drinking water in third-world countries. I mean, most celebs attend fundraisers or play in a charity poker tournament or sing on a naval vessel or whatever, and that’s awesome and all, but dragging your ass up a fucking mountain like that takes some balls. I work out regularly, but this summer my dad made me hike up a three-mile mountain and, despite the fact that we were walking at a slow pace and the weather was perfect, I was so unhappy I basically cried for the last two miles. It was painful stuff. So, ya know, color me impressed, Jess. Job well done. I’d say I wouldn’t talk shit about you for a couple weeks as a congratulatory gift, but the truth is you’re never in the news anyway. I mean, all you had to do to get this headline was be just a little more famous than Emile Hirsch.

Although Jess might be making headlines in the coming weeks, because word on the street is that she and J. Timberlake are officially dunzo. Justin had publicly promised to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro with Jess, but not only did he not climb it, he spent the weekend beatboxing in Wyoming. Now, I can’t say I blame the guy for not wanting to hike 20,000 feet in the snow, but one would think he’d at least be somewhere near Africa to support his ladyfriend. The beatboxing in Tanzania’s just as good as the stuff in Wyoming, I’d assume.

Because I can’t watch it.

First off, I apologize for my recent absence around these parts. My laptop is very sick. It’s at the Apple store right now undergoing emergency surgery, and hopefully it will come out alive and well. My friend lent me her laptop in the interim, but trying to be creative on a foreign computer is kind of like Mark McGwire playing baseball without steroids; it’s just not as impressive and things take much longer.

But I thought I’d share with you the video footage Sarah Palin’s Fox News debut. Maybe I could have watched the whole thing if she hadn’t been sitting next to Bill O’Reilly, who, in the first few minutes, tries to convince me that Sarah Palin is not a threat because she is both a mother and an American. Because, you know, once we chicks pop out kids in this country, we lose all potency to effect change in other arenas. There was nothing misogynistic about that remark, Bill. You’re a peach.

Furthermore, there is nothing at all threatening about Sarah Palin, unless you care about silly girl things like reproductive rights and foreign policy and evolution and the sheer terror that runs through your body when you realize how much of the country is reading this woman’s book without throwing something at the wall.

The truth is, I’m not especially angry about Sarah doing Fox News. I would way rather have her there, preaching to her choir, than in public office, capable of impacting those of us who don’t watch Fox News.
