Emmy Nominations…

Well I was so excited for this day….but alas I am now sad.  We got a whole big SNUB for my favorite Friday Night Lights.  The one show who really needed the Emmy Nods.  Sigh — this will most likely be the end of FNL so enjoy it this season while it last.  Otherwise YEAH for Kristin Chenoweth, Matt Dillion, and everyone in John Adams.  BIG YEAH for American Idol & Ryan Seacrest (although secretly I think Jeff Probst should TOTALLY win for Survivior — he is the BEST host in the biz…)   I am also totally surprised Pushing Daises did not make the cut, I thought it would WIN jeeeze….

Project Runway on Lifetime

Soo back when Project Runway was first on I was totally set on blogging about it. But then I realized it was on Wednesday nights, which is my busiest night of TV — soo PR ended up taking the backseat, I didn’t watch usually until Thursday or Friday, so by that time what is the point? Needless to say I am still a huge fan and was shocked when I read the news about it’s switch over to Lifetime.

For anyone who isn’t in the entertainment world and doesn’t know what’s going on — let me try and break it down for you. No matter what the next season of Project Runway will still be on Bravo, because they are signed up with the NBC owned station thru the 5th season. But after that the Weinstien company (who produce the show) received a higher bid from the Lifetime Network (which is partialy owned by Disney) to air the show for seasons 5-10. NOW NBC is counter suing them because technically NBC and Bravo have to have the option to renew the show before they can try and go to another network or station (ie first refusal). The Weinstien company doesn’t think so, since they were in negotiations for two months and never settled. I obviously don’t know the details, but I think NBC sounds valid in their arguments and I don’t think we’ve heard the end of this story. Either way I think that if they do make the jump, Lifetime will see a lot of people switching over to that network on Wednesday nights at 10.

Emmys may add Reality Host award

So all the major websites are reporting this and I think it’s pretty exciting. The Emmys will most likely be adding a new award to the ceremonies in Sept. Reality Host award! That’s right we might get to see Ryan Seacrest up there accepting an award for his hosting duties. Lets be realistic tho Phil Keogan will probably win since thats the only reality show that wins anything at the Emmys. (I still love you Amazing Race!!). Should be interesting.
(Maybe Heidi Klum?  — DEF not the guy who hosted Kid Nation can we say awkward?)

Here’s for Jeff Probst for the win!!

Variety Article

Christian is fierce

So if you have been watching Project Runway you all know that Christian is fierce, and if he doesn’t win next week there is something seriously wrong with those judges. Anyways, here is a great little remix of all of his fabulous moments this season. haha

Random TV, Book and Movie news

Still no new TV, though . . . GREYS ANATOMY IS NEW THIS WEEK!!!! Seriously? Seriously. Counting the days. 12.27.07 edit: the new Grey’s will not be shown until Jan. 10. Sorry! Oh, and Katherine Heigl got married. Whoo. But on to other news…

TV Time

OK so I know this week was mostly focused on The Hills and other TV gossip — but hey there isn’t a lot on. Here is what I watched tonight:

Project Runway:
This week is an amazing challenge. All women who have lost a lot of weight — wearing their favorite outfits — and the designers must take their old fat outfits and make them into fabulous new ones. In the meantime one of our favorites Jack is getting sick — some sort of sore in his mouth that is making his whole face swell up. Unfortunately do to this he must leave the competition to get treatment. (Soo sad — maybe Heidi will have him back next season how awesome would that be!). But in good news Chris who was voted out last week was asked back soo yeaah. Overall the designers made some great outfits. I particularly loved Christians (winner and he has immunity that’s the first mention of that), Kevin’s, and Rami’s. I think that they are the three to beat. Although I really like Jillian in general I don’t know why the judges were fawning over that dress she made. It looks complicated but it was just blah for me. Anyways, Steve who managed to make a Wedding dress into a funeral garbage bag was Auf’d.

Kid Nation, Survivor, and ANTM Model news after the jump

Guess who I saw?

Project Runway:
So in this weeks episode the designers are asked to pick a fashion trend that is out of style and make it work in today’s fashion. But they are put into groups of three and are asked to incorporate all of the ideas into a cohesive pattern. I can’t decide what I think. I am glad that they are pushing these people into tough situations to see their creativity and stuff but these things just seem unrealistic. In the end the group that won incorporated Overalls, Poodle skirts, and 70’s flare into three really cute outfits. I was kinda surprised that Christian’s group didn’t win but meh. Christopher (the costume designer) is OUT. Next week looks kinda crazy

Dirty Sexy Money:
What an episode. The Brief synopsis goes like this. Simon Elder and Karen are still sleeping together but it turns out she is totally using him after her dad told her too —huh? But she is starting to fall for him ut oh. Juliet has a boyfriend who she wants to loose her virginity too and he has some sort of weird accent and I’m sure will hurt her in the long end. Carmalita thinks she is being followed and then ends up getting kidnapped hmm. Patrick pretty much looses his job and he decides to leave the church and work for his dad. Jeremy gets high with Nick’s wife, he kisses her, he confesses he was lying to his girl, she leaves him, and Nick’s wife gets fired from her job bc a giant sponge smells like pot HAHA. Then they watch the nutcracker.

Friday Night Lights
We open with Landry confessing that he killed the rapist guy, but not saying it was out of self defense – he is basically being a stubborn idiot saying he wanted him dead and not helping himself out at all. I do not get this. OMG Carlotta in bed with Matt and they are joking about it — this is kinda weird. Does anyone else thing baby Gracie is kinda weird looking? Asshole Julie is the Godmother, that’s nice –maybe she will stop being a little bitch now. Jason is back in this episode and he is going to try online dating. This Isabella girl looks just like Lyla — and when he gets a phone call for a date it’s right in front of Lyla, surprise surprise. Wow Rigggins roommate is a psycho stalker and eventually Riggins leaves and ends up camping outside of the Taylors home. Isabella and Jason have there date – she is totally fug – and “peeing” turns her on – some redheaded waitress helps Jason out and you know they are totally gonna hook up. In the meantime Santiago finally gets some sense knocked into him by Buddy Garrison and he kicks ass and practically wins the football game for the Panthers! Jason doesn’t come home from his wild hookup with the redheaded waitress and he tells his parents he is moving out. They have Gracie’s christening and Landry confesses that it was self defense *after Tyra tell him she was scarred for her life*, the police are not pressing charges. The End.

 

In other news cutie David Blue (aka Micheal’s boyfriend on Ugly Betty) was totally mugged this week! It was on Just Jared yesterday but TMZ picked it up today! Here is the link to his blog :

David Blue Myspace

Also in other news on the way to Mood last night me and a few friends def. saw Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, and Penelope Cruz (ok so I didnt really see her but he paparazzo said that she was with them) coming out of a private party at Parc in Hollywood — I tried to take a photo but it’s just of their car. Still reallly cool. I don’t usually get that starstruck around people or do I really see that many stars out there but to see Tom Cruise & David Beckham earlier in the week and now these guys — I guess I really do live in LA.

More TV

Project Runway:
Total shock that they are doing a menswear challenge. Should be interesting and challenging, but probably not to fun to watch haha. Time out gorgeous male models — I redact it. The guest this week is Tiki Barber (he’s only 5′9 who knew!?). The designers have a ton of time to make an outfit for him to wear on the Today Show — but clearly a lot of them are panicking. In the end only a few of the outfits are good — and the winner is the cute tall gay guy who I can’t remember his name — his outfit was nice but a bit too stripey for me.

In other news — The Hills finale is coming up on the 10th and People posted this little tidbit:

“The half-hour, third-season finale of The Hills on Dec. 10 will be only a small part of a big two-day season-ending telecast that MTV is planning for its popular reality TV series.

On the big night, MTV and the cast will present The Hills Finale: Live in Hollywood, broadcast live from L.A. hot spot Area, beginning at 8 p.m. ET. The finale itself airs at 10 p.m. ET, followed by a live after-show, during which the ladies will answer questions from viewers and then make “an announcement that will leave fans wanting more,” according to MTV.

The audience at the live show will include up to 40 winners of “The Hills Biggest Fan Contest,” which is accepting video submissions through Dec. 3 from fans explaining why they love the series.

The season finale celebration will actually begin the day before, on Dec. 9, when MTV airs The Hills: Lauren Looks Back, beginning at 12 p.m. ET. Described as a “video scrapbook” of Conrad’s life from her senior year at Laguna Beach High to her life today, it will feature Conrad talking about her friendships and loves through the years, from Stephen Colletti to Jason Wahler to Brody Jenner.”
Yeeee!!!

Mila Kunis & James Franco perform The Hills

IM BAACCKK

Well I am back in LA and I am almost caught up on all of the TV I missed last week. Lets just do a short recap:

Kid Nation:
Holy crap why would they elect Greg into the council he is an asshole! But totally glad that Laurel won the gold star. Does anyone have a little crush on green guy Michael — if he were ten years older he would be great haha does he have an older brother?

Dirty Sexy Money:
meh ok episode — found myself not paying attention towards most of it, mainly because I was packing — maybe I’ll watch again. Sources say that we will find out this week who the odd-Darling out is. PS did I mention I love Jeremy Darling? Did we see how Juliet is still missing — they must have taped these episodes during her “rehab stint”.

Project Runway:
Sarah Jessica Parker yeaah! So glad Christian is still safe and I totally want to buy a vest now.

America’s Next Top Model:
The stripper is gone yaahoo. Chantal and Selicia totally sold that cover girl ad they are in it for the long run — and although I still like Heather I mean really how could she be a cover girl? I also didn’t really like her photo-shoot and I really didn’t like Biancas either what a bitch!

Ugly Betty:
Much better episode — although I hated the whole Bradford dream sequence — when did this show become so trippy? I really liked the idea of everyone pulling together to get this magazine up and running and I loved Daniels idea of the blank front page. I feel bad for Amanda…she’ll find her dad eventually.

Survivor was a recap, Gossip Girl was a repeat, Friday Night Lights wasn’t on, and no more The Office until la strike is over
Speaking of the Strike watch this video:
