Little Girl Lost

Last week's Lost (sorry, I'm just catching up) featured Diana Scarwid as Isabel, one of Jack's captors. Is it just me, or did she seem familiar? It was just a mere 26 years ago that she played Christina Crawford, wire hanger victim, in Mommie Dearest. C'mon, say it with me:
NO WIRE HANGERS EV-AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

In Reality News...

Trista and Ryan, of “The Bachelorette” fame have announced the conception of their future devil spawn. How many minutes before this is pimped out into a reality show? Just wondering.

The Post-Oscars Hall of Shame

BARBARA WALTERS
Yes, yes Bawb-wa, we all agree they took too long to get to the acting awards, but on Monday’s The View, you said they spent too much time on the “little awards”. Methinks you’d be screwed if those categories you described as “little", like Makeup, didn’t exist.



OSCAR.COM
Those big meanies at the Oscars have made YouTube take down their postings relating to the Academy Awards over copyright issues. I’m sure this is unrelated to their announcement that they have (ad sponsored) content on their own site, which, by the way, offers such features as a section where you can view THIRTY-EIGHT photos of the EMPTY Kodak Theater. Thirty-eight.

JENNIFER HUDSON
Congratulations, Jennifer! You picked a hideous outfit for your Oscar debut and now, like any big star, you're passing the buck and blaming your style advisor for the choice (the same one that got you the cover of Vogue). You are WELL on your way to becoming a Diva! How many minutes till that hometown boyfriend of yours bites the dust in the wake of your newfound fame?

And the winner is...

The Oscars are only hours away. Remember when Oscar speeches were inspiring? Cut and paste this link into your browser to watch one of my favorites of just a few years back: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXdASfMCW3s


PS. Wouldn't it be nice if Al Gore won the Oscar tonight AND announced he was running for President? Um, not to get political or anything...

People We Need To See More Of

If you didn't catch the premiere of VH1's The Agency this week, download it to catch Becky. With her My Fair Lady-accented commentary, somehow we find ourselves feeling empathy for BECKY when she calls 'lil Chloe the model a Pillsbury Dough Boy. Damn you, Chloe. Becky has an important job to do. Lay off the burgers!

Ladies from The View, stop screwing around. Sign Sherri Shepherd up permanently. Enough already!

Grey's Drowning

RE: Last Night's Ep of Grey's.

Oh dear, I can't believe I am bashing Grey's twice in 24 hours. I do love you so, my Seattle friends, but where do I begin???

Meredith dies and wanders around the afterlife and she spends most of her time with...DENNY? Don't get me wrong, always happy to see him again, but this isn't IZZY'S death/dream sequence. Did Meredith ever even interact with Denny? Ever? Random. However, if they're so hell bent on spinning off Grey's then spin off Denny. He can walk around and haunt people or something.

As for the other inhabitants of Limbo Land....Ok, I get the EMT that blew up in front of her. I guess seeing something like that would follow you into the afterlife. And I get the first patient who died in her care (played by Monica Keena, who, is it just me, or is she actually the same person as Brittany Murphy?). But that other random nurse was a stretch. Didn't she play the hooker that thought Andrew McCarthy was gay in St. Elmo's Fire? Why do I know this but not where Minnesota is on a map?

I'm no MD but it seems fairly ridulous that Meredith emerges from not breathing for like, hours, and speaks clearly with no brain damage?

Sigh.

Bright spot: How great an actress is Sandra Oh?
And McDreamy is still, well, dreamy.

Blogger Virgin

It's official. My very first blog EVER. So I'm just going to dive right in.

My first time off in eons and what do I do with my time? I watched an embarrassingly large amount of the ANNA NICOLE TRIAL. This is what occurred to me:

It's nice that Larry Birkhead, in all of his grief, still has time to apply his bronzer so evenly. And boy those highlights looked fresh. Is it just me or is Virgie Arthur and Bonnie Lee Bakely the same person? Just wondering.

Moving on to GREY'S ANATOMY:

A spin-off? Hate to be a hater, but, c'mon. A whole show spun around Addison? Can you say, JOEY?
Filing under coulda woulda shoulda: they should've knocked up Addison when she and Derek were reconciled, then gotten Meredith and Derek back together. Now that's dramatic tension.
I still love you, Grey's, but, after the episode depicting the tension around Meredith's snoring/Derek's breath, I could've sworn I caught a glimpse of Fonzie and a shark in the distance...if ya know what I mean.

See ya tomorrow around the watercooler.
