Yesterday I spent my afternoon at the NBC Universal Experience. It was AMAZING. I did over 25 interviews for you folks, with everyone from Christian Slater to Molly Shannon to Donald Trump, and oh yeah, the cast of Heroes, plus many others!Stay tuned for more scoop on my convos with the stars throughout the week.
But, in the meantime, I have to explain the headline of this entry.
You see, I have an obsession with Old Navy shoes. I knew I'd be standing for hours at the NBC red carpet, so without thinking twice, I threw on my Old Navy flats. No heels for the red carpet! What I didn't realize was that I would be interviewing Tim Gunn of Project Runway and Tim Gunn's Guide to Style.
Well, when my buddy at TV Guide asked Tim what the "it" accessory is for summer, he started to say:
"Summer is a time to be relaxed, to not take yourself too seriously. Have a wonderful ballet flat that you love. It could be metallic. It could be some crazy wonderful stripe. It could be embellished with something..." and then he looked down at our shoes and noticed we were both wearing flats.
And he said our shoes were cute!!!
So what did I do? No, I didn't just say thank you. I told him they were Old Navy shoes. Not many people would admit the brand of their shoes to a fashion guru unless it was Prada or Gucci or something crazy expensive. But, Tim Gunn, bless his heart, said, "You don't have to spend a lot of money for fashion!"
So today, here I am back in the office, sporting another pair of my Old Navy flats, with great pride. Because, hey, Tim Gunn approved!
Welcome to the end of Season 4 of House. This is the first part of a two-part finale, so buckle up; it’s going to be a bumpy ride… literally.
We open up on House in a strip club. He’s about to get a lap dance from some barely dressed hottie, but instead of enjoying himself, which we know he can never do, he’s actually coming to and realizing he has no idea how he got there. He runs through a list of diagnostic criteria and diagnoses himself as having retrograde amnesia. He starts to panic and exits the strip club to see chaos in the streets. Tons of medical help vehicles and choppers overhead revealing a major bus accident.
Turns out he’s one of the victims from the accident and instead of laying nicely for help to arrive, he went into a strip club. Can this character do anything traditionally? Not a chance. That’s exactly why we love him!
Stephanie breaks the news to Spencer that Heidi has gone to Vegas for work and might not be coming back. The loose canon that he is, Spencer decides to go there to get his woman back. In the meantime, Heidi is actually working with her bosses to redesign a casino.
Whitney asks Lauren about Audrina, and Lauren says she's not sure why her pal is being so distant. Whitney urges LC to talk to Audrina. Audrina decides to look for her own apartment, after living with Lo and Lauren doesn't quite meet her expectations. Lauren cooks dinner for the roommates and they wait on Audrina. Meanwhile, Lo complains that she and Audrina aren't close. Audrina skips dinner with the girls.
Stephanie goes along for the trip and finds out Heidi's whereabouts for Spencer. Spence busts in on Heidi's "business meeting" and calls her outside. Heidi goes off Spencer for interrupting her, while Brent reprimands Heidi for the childish acts of her (ex?) boyfriend. Spencer begs Heidi to go back to LA with him. The next morning Heidi stands up her bosses and we find out she went home with Spencer!
It really doesn't get any more stupid or immature than that.
Lauren heads to Audrina's guest house to talk about the tension between the girls. Audrina confronts Lauren and says that she feels that Lo is pushing them apart. Lauren winds up crying and says that she thinks that Audrina is isolating herself. The girls leave things unsettled.
So, that's that for now. Hope you enjoyed Season 3 of The Hills -- stand by for more of the drama, as Season 4 starts airing this August. Until then...
American Idol has had enough of David Archuleta's pesky father and gave him the boot. Jeff Archuleta is known as the "stage dad from hell."
He's supposedly interfered with the production of the show on numerous occasions -- from lyrics to vocal coaches, the band and other contestants. The nuisance is being stopped after some tinkering to a song last week cost the show money.
Jeff insisted that David change the lyrics to "Stand By Me." He wanted to add a verse from Sean Kingston's hit "Beautiful Girls." The producers say they emailed Jeff that the lyrics could not be changed, but David sang it that way anyway during his live performance. (I want to know a little more. Like how was David singing it for rehearsal? Was he in on it too? I mean, the kid is not six. He should be held accountable for the decisions he makes.)
American Idol's lawyers ordered Jeff banned from any room backstage when his son David is rehearsing or learning songs. Because David is 17-year-old, it's AI's position that he doesn't need a guardian, just a teacher.
Jeff will, however, be allowed to sit in the audience during the live shows.
Just as David is no stranger to the big stage, his father should be used to getting banned from the competitions his son enters. Back in 2003, Jeff was banned from the set of Star Search.
Archuleta is a favorite among the three finalists. The other two left competing to be the next American Idol are David Cook and Syesha Mercado. This past week, the three idol hopefuls went back to their hometowns to be honored and adored upon. We'll get to see the hoopla.
Each contestant will sing three songs tomorrow. And as they've done in the past, they pick one, the judges pick one and legendary record producer, Clive Davis picks the other.
After last week’s smooch between a sauced up Edie and Orson, Bree is ready for war. She makes this very clear when she confronts Edie in the street and slaps her in the face. Game on. Next step: sabotaging Edie’s real estate customers. Mike’s mom Adele, aka Momma, arrives for Mother’s Day with a hefty dose of southern charm and a scrapbook of family recipes for Susan to learn how to cook. Seems Mike has done a little complaining to Momma, who later sums up Susan as a nude snoring whore. Ouch.
