Since I'm usually obsessed with some TV show, movie, etc., I figured I should start a segment where I share some recommendations for all of you fellow pop culture fans. Pop Guru's Cool Crap to Check Out, if you will.
TV Shows: I'm a fan of all things reality (read: trash) and usually have a lot of shows I need to catch up on. I've only seen the pilot episode of "The Fashionista Diaries" (Wednesdays @ 9PM, SOAPnet), but I'm already hooked. Six young New Yorkers interning at Jane magazine (now kaput), Flirt! Cosmetics, and Showroom Seven are desperately trying to make a name for themselves in the cutthroat fashion industry. Ok, so maybe the fact that I can identify with some of the situations has something to do with my liking the show, but regardless, it's like "Laguna Beach" with careers. Hookups, jealousy, clawing your way to the top, and stabbing someone in the back with your Jimmy Choo stiletto heel... It doesn't get any better than that.
Other stuff I'm watching: I'm trying to get into "John from Cincinnati", but it doesn't really grab my attention just yet. DVR is calling my name right now to catch up on this week's "Big Love" and "Rescue Me". I'm also (shamefully) intrigued by "Fat March" and will watch that on DVR at some point, as well.
Movies: The only movie I've seen in the theater lately is The Simpsons Movie. It was funny, but very Al Gore influenced. Perhaps if I was still watching "The Simpsons" regularly, I would have enjoyed it more.
Movies out now that I want to see: Hairspray, No Reservations, 2 Days in Paris, The Ten, Once.
DVDs: My Netflix Queue is quite large (I'm at 470 movies on my list... You're only allowed 500) and I can never decide what I want to watch. But I've just finished the second disc of "Freaks and Geeks" and I'm so pissed that I have to wait three days for disc three! The show was created by Judd Apatow, director of The 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up and stars many faces you are familiar with from those movies. Seth Rogen and James Franco got their start in show business as two of the "Freaks". In the second episode of the show, the kids get "wasted" off of non-alcoholic beer and hilarity ensues. "Freaks and Geeks" only lasted one season before NBC pulled it (the bastards!). I must caution you before you pop it in your DVD player though... "Freaks and Geeks" may force you to remember some of your terribly awkward high school moments you have tried so desperately to forget.
What else I have at home: Avenue Montaigne and Shooter (I can't resist Mark Wahlberg!).
Books: I'm currently reading several books, but the one I've been trying to finish since Christmas is What Jackie Taught Us about life lessons on style and grace from Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis (lessons I clearly need).
Also reading: Blink and Think and Grow Rich.
Now you have plenty of crap to check out. Get on it!

This bitch is back!
What up, people?!?! After a couple weeks of luxurious vacay and some adjusting back to the real world, I'm finally getting around to posting after much harassment. So sorry!! I bet you didn't even know that Paris is out of jail without me around. Well, she is. And she's still full of shit.
- Paris Hilton has promised to devote her life to charity work now that she is out of jail. She is dressing more conservatively and vows to stop speaking so high (which happens when she is feeling nervous or shy, or whenever she feels like hiding her real man voice). But all these things can wait while she spends some time in the hotel pool in Hawaii. Wow... What growth.
- Oh, and one more thing... Did you believe Paris when she told Larry King she had never done drugs of any kind? Ha! Me neither!! Who did? But the celebutante must have forgotten about some home videos and pictures of her drug use. That lying beyotch!! Please to enjoy...
- I know this is the pot calling the kettle black (in a non-racist way), but damn, Oprah... Could you be anymore self-absorbed? Oprah is opening a store devoted to herself in Chicago where you can buy Oprah magazines, Oprah tote bags, Oprah DVDs, and anything else you might need to fill your Oprah void.
- iPhone was finally released on Friday. People began to line up last Monday to be first to purchase the $600 phone/iPod/web browser/camera. Apparently these people are rich and jobless because they had a free week to stand in front of the Apple store. Must be nice.
- Kevin Federline is refusing to sign divorce papers because of "concern over Britney Spears's recent behavior". When asked to elaborate, K-Fed said he is concerned Britney is spending far too little money and he is willing to be her shoulder to buy, uh cry, on.
- Jessica Simpson's new movie Blonde Ambition has been pushed back to a late August release date, supposedly because the movie is so horrible.
- Ryan Gosling has won a part in Peter Jackson's adaptation of The Lovely Bones. The book was pretty good and anything with Ryan is something worth seeing, so this might turn out to be a really good flick.
- Penelope Cruz pitched a fit when her plane was delayed and demanded she and her luggage be allowed to deplane. Really? This is possible? That would have been helpful to know last time I had to sit on the smallest plane ever for three extra hours because we were 70th to take off. I would have been arrested for a stunt like this, but Penelope gets away with it. I didn't like her much before, but now she has really taken the top spot on my shit list. Well, La Lohan is still #1, but Penelope is a close #2.
- In other celebrity bitchfit news, Jessica Alba had a women's bathroom closed off for ten minutes so she could relieve herself in private. I hear someone wet her pants while waiting in the very long line Alba created.
- The Spice Girls are reuniting for an eleven show tour at the end of this year. That news makes me really, really, really wanna zigazig ahhhh!! Sorry, that was weak, but I had to do it. Maybe this means a sequel to Spice World?! I sure as hell hope so.
- "The Two Coreys", a reality show featuring Corey Haim and Corey Feldman of '80s fame, will start July 29 on A&E. And I'll be there for every minute of it.
- The Live Earth concert takes place all day this Saturday, 7.7.07, and will air on Bravo.
- This week's "Rescue Me" ended with a bang... And one person isn't so happy about it. Click here to read about it, but only read this if you have seen this week's episode all ready.
- Cameron Diaz's most recent flame, magician Criss Angel aka Mindfreak, has been sued for divorce by a secret wife. Angel has been married to Joanne Sarantakos, but he kept the marriage a secret to vamp up his image with the ladies. Not even a magic trick could make me be attracted to this...
I am pretty busy these days, but I promise to make more of an effort to update the blog and keep you informed of what is going on in the celebrity world. Harassment welcome! Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer!! Happy July 4th!!

TV News and Scientology Weirdos
So happy it's FRIDAY!!!!!!!!
- We can finally find out what will become of Tommy amongst the flames. "Rescue Me" is officially back with a vengeance on June 12. Woohoo!! Showing up at the fire house this season is Jennifer Esposito, who filed for divorce this week from Bradley Cooper (Wet Hot American Summer). Also back on F/X, "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia". Sounds like a warm and fuzzy show, doesn't it? Well, you couldn't be more fooled by the title. This show has been deemed "'Seinfeld' on crack", and that's exactly what it is. In one show, brother and sister actually decide to try out crack and end up on welfare. No, this isn't a drama. It's a comedy, and it's absolutely hysterical. And totally offensive, so I don't recommend it for the sensitive.
- Matthew Modine will be showing up in Agrestic to stir up some trouble on "Weeds" this summer.
- It saddens me to tell you this, but Stars Hollow will be throwing a farewell party on May 15. The drama of will-they-or-won't-they-renew has finally been answered. "Gilmore Girls" will be finito after this season. For all two of you who watch this show besides me, tune in to the series finale to find out what happens to Luke and Lorelai and if Rory will accept Logan's proposal.
- More TV news... For those of you who are waiting for the DVD to join the nation's latest obsession, "Heroes" will be released on DVD August 28.
- Liv Tyler is going to be playing Betty Ross in the upcoming Hulk movie. Playing The Hulk... Edward Norton.
- Britney Spears performed again last night...for a mere eleven minutes. Well worth the $300 some people paid. La Lohan made an appearance to see Brit mouth the words to her famous songs.
- Kate Walsh, aka Addison on "Grey's Anatomy, is dating Alex Young, a hot shot at 20th Century Fox.
- The battle for Ireland begins today, but Alec Baldwin won't be making it to court.
- "I can see how people wouldn't see this, but when you look at Kate now [compared to] when she first met Tom, she's more confident and more knowing who she is than ever before. You can see it in her pictures. She looks more beautiful and more confident and more assured. I've watched that metamorphosis – how Kate has blossomed into this woman. Because her life changed very quickly, she moved from one person into another." - Jada Pinkett Smith spoke to People about "Kate Cruise" and how she "ain't no little wimpy kitty cat". When I see Katie in pictures, I don't think strong, confident woman. I think she looks sedated. This interview has a rancid, and kind of ghetto, odor of bullshit. Also weighing in on the issue, Leah Remini. She says, "I really don't get it. They're married, they love each other and have a beautiful baby. They do 'weird' things like take care of their kid and go to baseball games." Well, I would believe you, Leah. But seeing as you are a Scientologist and believe that aliens live inside of us, it's a little hard for me to just take your word for it, girl.

"Six Degrees" of Smith Jerrod
Yesterday I decided to watch a new episode of ABC's "Six Degrees". I only watched like two episodes of the show before it went on hiatus because I thought it was really sucky, to put it mildly. But boredom set in yesterday and our DVR is still recording it, so I gave it another shot.
I don't get this show. I mean I get that these people continue to have random connections in New York City, but this just isn't realistic. I have yet to form a relationship with the cop that I met on the subway that's stalking me. Anywho, I was extremely confused by one issue on this show. Smith Jerrod from "Sex and the City", aka Jason Lewis, is doing it with Bridget Monyahan on "Six Degrees" on Friday nights. Yet, on Sundays, I can catch him doing it with one of the brothers on ABC's "Brothers & Sisters", the other show I think is sucky but keep watching each week waiting to be wowed because all of my female friends think it is fantastic (I can't decide if I don't like the show because of its content or because I despise Calista Flockhart). I can't keep up. Is Jason Lewis gay or straight? Is he dating Bridget or Samantha? Is ABC that starved for actors that they recycle them in all of their new shows? What is this - The WB?
I will not be watching "Six Degrees" again. It doesn't really have a chance anyway seeing as ABC brought it back after a very long hiatus and put it on the Friday night lineup. Also on this episode, Probie from "Rescue Me" made an appearance. If this means he won't be returning to the firehouse in June, I will be irate! Anyway, just thought I would share my thoughts on the subject. Have a good day!

Sir Bono, Posh, and TV news
Did anyone watch "Lost" last night? I don't like episodes about the new survivors. Or anything that makes me think a spider is crawling on me all night. Or that I will be buried alive.
- Bono was knighted today, but he would prefer it if we didn't call him "sir". I'll try to remember that next time I'm hanging out with him.
- Bruce Willis was supposedly seen "full-on making out" with Courtney Love at his 52nd birthday party. Vom.
- Sources are now speculating that caffeine killed Anna Nicole Smith. I guess I need to switch to decaf. "What?! Why you son of a bitch! You told me this was regular coffee!" A select few of you will get that reference.
- Us Weekly posted a letter on their website pleading with Victoria Beckham to start wearing bras when she moves to LA. Here is my letter: Dear Posh, Please go to In-and-Out Burger as soon as you land at LAX. Love, Killa
- "Top Chef" host Padma Lakshmi has supposedly split from her author husband Salman Rushdie. She claims he was totally harshing her buzz.
- Britney Spears went to the hospital because her tooth was hurting. Today she has a headache and CNN devoted a half-hour to the story.
- To promote The Simpsons movie this summer, select 7-Eleven stores might be turned into Kwik-E-Marts. People will also be able to buy Buzz Cola and iced Squishees. There is no sarcasm involved in this post.
- "Rescue Me" will begin its fourth season in June. I'm absolutely ecstatic for more opportunities to see my Hispanic boyfriend Franco!!
- It was reported that "Diff'rent Strokes" actor Todd Bridges was dead. He responded with, "What you talkin' bout, TMZ?"
- "Laguna Beach" = DUIs. The newest cast member to get arrested is Jessica Smith, who you may remember as the most annoying person in existence. She was released today and charged with a DUI and causing "great bodily injury" in a car wreck.
- Seeing how much press Britney Spears has received lately, Donald Trump might shave his head. Hallelujah.
- There is a marathon of "The Office" tonight on NBC. So that's two hours of Jim Halpert. Awesome!
- Has anyone been watching "'Til Death Do Us Part?", the new Court TV show hosted by John Waters? He is the narrator that takes us through a new story of spousal murder each episode. It is my new favorite murder show. Perhaps maybe I should start watching "American Idol"...
