I Smell Smut

And in a break from our bitching and gossiping I bring you…puppies!  This cute little fellow is a participant in this years Puppy Bowl.  Click here to see the other participants.

What is the Puppy Bowl?  Well apparently it is a feature for rescue puppies where they play and wrestle and beasically do all round cute things in a football stadium type thing.  Check out the video here.  I warn you.  It is too cute for words.

Puppies are the best.

We didn’t cover much about the late night debacle that happened over the last few weeks because really, everyone else had it covered from every possible angle. Long story short: Jay Leno’s prime time show was sucking so they wanted to move the whole late night line-up back to accommodate him and Conan O’Brien said “no way!”. So NBC kicked Conan to the curb and gave Leno his show back. Which sucks the big one for the rest of us.

The tension did make for some comedic moments, my favourite of which was Jimmy Kimmel on Leno’s 10 at 10 when he called him out for being a douche (check it out here). So Leno went on Oprah yesterday to try and save some face, but it didn’t work. Most people who watched it said that Leno didn’t come across very well and that he didn’t take any blame at all for the situation and said that Kimmel “sucker punched” him on his own show.

Well Jimmy had a few things to say about it last night and they’re pretty good. And as much as I love Conan, if I can’t be on Team Coco I’m going to be on Team Kimmel. Go Jimmy!

What would happen if instead of being attracted to Bella Swan, Edward Cullen was attracted to Buffy the Vampire Slayer?

So Jessica Simpson  appears to be a bit peeved after Melrose Place fired her little sis, Ashlee.  Ashlee was hired earlier this year to star in the remake of the famous show but was let go last week, apparently because she sucked (ummm, duh).

But Jessica, ever the classy bitch, has taken the high road and tweeted this over the weekend:

“CW catching up on MP.who writes this crap? i have had bad scripts to work with,but this? thank God my sister is amazing and got you some press.”

Hmmm, bitter much?  And really, who would know better about what crap is than Jess?

Ummm, hello Pot?  Yes, this is the kettle calling…

Tanya: Piift. Ashlee’s role was only a temporary role anyway so she wasn’t really “fired”, more like she “completed her contract”. And dissing your sister’s employer on Twitter = Lame. Good think Ashlee doesn’t do that to Jess… oh wait… Jess doesn’t get any rolls in the first place…

For my friends who are currently obsessed with Battlestar Galactica (you know who you are), here are Cylon hotties Tricia Helfer (did you know she is Canadian?) and Grace Park.

Do you watch BSG?  My hubby LOVES that show.  So much so that I once caught him talking about Cylons in his sleep.  I am assuming he was dreaming of these two.

FYI for all you BSG geeks out there, Battlestar Galactica: The Plan is being released on October 27 on DVD.  Apparently its a movie from the cylons point of view before attacking the colonies.  I don’t know.  Its all gibberish to me.

Tanya: Hot. Hot. Hot.

The Emmy Awards were held last night and because I don’t have cable, none of this means anything to me.  The only show I’ve every watched that was up for any awards last night was Mad Men.  And because I love that show, here is the gorgeous, curvy, sexy Christina Hendricks who plays Joan on Mad Men, which won for best drama.  Woohoo!

Follow this link for all the winners and tons of pictures at Just Jared.

Tanya: Hahah, I thought this was Rose McGowen. I’m so outta the loop on TV shows.

Here is Kanye on Jay Leno last night. Jay sat down and had a talk with Kanye about the now infamous incident from the VMAs. The best part of the 4 minute clip is when Jay asks Kanye what his mom would have thought about what happened. Kanye pauses for a long moment and tears up. As much as Kanye acted like a douche, it was a heart felt, genuine moment.

I admire Jay for how he handled the situation. He didn’t ridicule him or make light of the situation. He sat down and talked to him man to man, and I think said what really needed to be said to Kanye. Not in a million words, but in one question, that clearly got to Kanye.

As for Kanye…he does appear truly remorseful. Will he change his ways? I think the world is tired of his antics and if he wants to stay relevent, he will need to. If he truly wants to be a better person, he will need to.

Me? Have I forgiven him? Undecided. I will save my judgement for how he handles this situation moving forward. A tiger says he wants to change his stripes…but is it that easy? What he did was mean spirited and self indulgent and not the first time he had done something like this. But I do believe everyone deserves a second chance.

Tanya: Personally I’d stop inviting him to award shows. Remember when he stormed out of the American Music Awards in 2004 because HE was the best new artist and it was a conspiracy that he didn’t win? Or at the 2006 MTV Europe Awards when Justice won for best video and he ran on stage and said that he should have won because it “cost a million dollars and Pamela Anderson was in it.”  “I paid a million. It took a month to film. I stood on a mountain. I flew in a helicopter over Vegas . . . . I did it all to be the king of all videos.”

It’s fun to watch him have hissy fit, but the problem with his outbursts is that he’s discrediting and belittling the work that other people have put into their music and videos. As an artist he should have a little more respect.

The gossip world is abuzz this morning with the MTV VMAs so if you want to read about them check out some of the links on our blogroll. For some photo highlights check out the gallery below. There’s some Beyonce sharing the stage with Taylor Swift (Beyonce said in her acceptance speech that she remembered being up on the stage getting her first VMA at 17 with Destiny’s Child and it was the most amazing experience ever so she wanted Taylor to have that experience too), Jack Black with some huge muscles, Kanye with his booze and his broad (booze = inappropriate behaviour?), Katy Perry looking like Wonder Woman, Lady Gaga channeling A Clockwork Orange, the Twilight cast (LOVE Kristen’s hair) and some more

Enjoy!

Stacey: I think I love B now.  So sweet of her to do that.  Honestly, she looked mortified when Kanye was on stage. 

I love that Carey Hart and Pink are back together!  Love them!

And Taylor Lautner?  So hot.  Him and Taylor Swift should get together.

I don’t watch American Idol so I don’t really care who is judging it but I must say I was surprised to hear that Ellen DeGeneres is replacing Paula Abdul as the 4th judge this season. What music experience does she have aside from the time she went carolling with Britney Spears? (photo above)

“Hopefully I’m the people’s point of view because I’m just like you… I sit at home and I watch it. … I’m not looking at it in a critical way from the producer’s mind. I’m looking at it as a person who is going to buy the music and is going to relate to that person.

And for you fans of her day show – it’s staying on the air: “I’m going to have a day job and a night job”. lol, both Stacey & I have had the pleasure of having a day and night job and we wish you the best of luck Ellen. Hopefully your jobs are a little less demanding than ours

Stacey: Well, if my day or night job paid me millions of dollars, like I am sure both of Ellen’s are, I would have no issues working 2 jobs.  But, alas, we are not that fortunate.

As for Ellen being on AI.  This is why I hated these shows when I had cable.  Ellen is saying she is just like everyone else watching. People think that just because they have eyes and ears that makes them qualified to judge something, like AI or So You Think You Can Dance.  Its just a big popularity contest.  The crowd boos the judges after they give an honest and accurate judgement on a contestant…guess what people, sometimes they were bad…sometimes they do actually suck!  Just because they are likable does not make them good singers or dancers.

But Ellen will replace the “nice” factor that Paula had.  

I still won’t be watching.  

Do you watch Arrested Development?  I do.  I love that show.  I own all three seasons on DVD and could watch them over and over again if my hubby would let me.  I remember being sad when I watched the last episode because there was no more to watch.

Luckily, the much talked about movie seems to be going ahead!  Woohoo!  Which means, more Gob, more Buster, more Tobias, and more Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman..yes!)

My favorite line from any episode ever?

“Its an illusion, Michael.  Tricks are what prostitutes do for money…and sometimes cocaine”.

Seriously, if you haven’t watched it, you must.  I promise you, it is worth it.
