    This whole Italian-American thing is a slippery slope people. By this standard Christian Siriano is clearly homophobic.

    So all this time, I've been looking at these "Jersey Shore" promos thinking this one dude looked really familiar, but attributing that to the fact that so many guidos look alike.

    ...and then I find out today that I DO know one of the cast members. He dated my best friend's sister for three years. And now I have to watch the whole season so I can laugh and laugh.

    Who is Alona Tal? Who is Alona Tal? How you people get to write about entertainment without watching Veronica Mars, I'll never know. Also, is Danielle Harris actually Danneel Harris? If so, she's the hot redhead from One Tree Hill. If not, I'm as clueless as you are.

    Oh, and is anyone else thinking what I'm thinking? Yes, you know what I mean--Richard Brody is actually Brody Jenner!

    Earlier in history, an Italian-American civil rights organization tried to prevent schools from teaching that anyone but Columbus discovered America. Fuck the Vikings.

    1. I think it's more likely that Michael Jackson was the top search term on Yahoo, but some marketing schmuck inflated that (because that's what they do) into the top search on the Internet.

    2. Google's zeitgeist shows fastest-rising searches, which is a different measure from most-popular searches (though the rankings may still end up being the same).

    YAY for Ugly Betty! Suck it to those who complain when Guidos perpetuate their own stereotype. 'Jersey Shore' isn't a minstrel show. If you're worried about the depiction of Italian-Americans, perhaps you should deal with....sorry, naked pic of Levi Johnston caught my eye. Gotta go.

    You know, ABC has totally screwed up "Ugly Betty" by moving it around. The writing has suffered somewhat, like most shows do until they get their legs. But when it's on target, it's a fun, delicious romp.

    I'm glad someone is wising up and putting it back into a decent time slot.

    @BowlingForDollars: I actually think his season has been really good, and I'm thrilled that it's finally getting a good time slot again.

    Too bad it's up against Glee...

    Ok, I didn't watch last night and I don't know when that pic up there is from, but Jesus Christ. Why didn't I appreciate this woman when I was like 15? Has she actually gotten more attractive now that she's 48 or whatever?

    MP needs to find some interesting characters immediately. We already know Augie and Lipsyncha are going, but the blond guy and the doctor/whore are boresville as well. The "normal" couple are boring, but they are supposed to be, so they should stay. The only interesting character, at least from a nighttime soap perspective, is the lesbian "bitch." A character like Christian Siriano would be a great addition. Someone with a mysterious quasi-military role would be interesting. Likewise, a Persian JAP. And make it more like David Lynch's Mullholland Drive.

    @jimstoic: Is she actually a lesbian? Might have missed something, but I just figured from last night's girl/girl snog that she's just someone who knows which cards to play and when.

    @terrible: I'm pretty sure she's supposed to be bi; she obviously enjoys the males, as evidenced by her love for the boring man, but they also had her hooking up with a girl at a party in one of the earliest episodes.

    So, which is it? Heather Locklear increases Melrose ratings by 15% last night and it's a dismal failure. Jay Leno is up 5% and Wow!

    As I recall, she is credited with saving the show the first time round when ratings were low. I highly doubt she did it overnight - after but one appearance.

    @shle896: I guess it depends on the numbers you're starting out with, but fifteen percent seems like a decent percentage to me. Give Amanda a little more credit!

    Okay, Taylor, you've successfully completed Step One.

    Step Two involves dropping hints that you'd be okay with tasteful nudity "for the right part."

    In Step Three you've got to be seen leaving Gerard Butler's house in the early dawn hours.

    Step Four entails a grainy video of some sort, with your face clearly visible for a moment.

    After that, the rest of the Steps kind of sort themselves out.

    Good luck! #taylorswift
