Seriously, ABC, this season's girls of The Bachelor are by far the worst crop ever in the history of the show. That said, these girls bring good ratings because they are completely mad and make great television. All that said, last night's drama all revolved around one woman in particular. It was all about Shawntel.
"You smell like Craigslist." #BestTVLines2011
Last night we got a bonus episode of 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' because ... I have no idea why. There was no major event or any big drama, it was just an extra hour filled with a bunch of random plots.
Want a little Einstein around the house? The role of genetics in intelligence—i.e., the extent to which our smarts are inherited—has long been an academic war zone. What can raise your child's chances? There's no single best recipe, but studies prove that keeping TV out of the nursery, shelling out for music lessons, breastfeeding, having a big library, and withholding cookies are just a few ways to boost your child's chances of success.
Remember when we swooned over Zach Gilford in the ABC short-lived television series, 'Off The Map'? Well, the 29-year-old—largely known for his role as quarterback Matt Saracen on 'Friday Night Lights'—is now engaged to Kiele Sanchez!
While she first hit the headlines during her stint on The X Factor in 2010, Cher Lloyd has graduated to the status of celebrity gossip column royalty this year. It seems you can’t pick up a newspaper without seeing the 17-year-old’s face scowling out from the pages – and she’s certainly made an impact on the music scene with her banging/unintentionally hilarious debut single Swagger Jagger.
It looks like sexual tension in sitcoms is over. Women tell a very specific set of harmless lies. There are five awesome and unconventional places to meet a guy. How you can tell the difference between dating and just hanging out. How to make a friend with benefits into a girlfriend. Seriously, are we getting male birth control or not?
Playboy bunnies—a man's primetime paradise, right? Too bad the show was so bad that not even guys would watch it.
There is one new show that seems more realistic than, say, Zooey Deschanel being single for longer than 36 seconds. It's "Up All Night," the new comedy on NBC starring Christina Applegate, Maya Rudolph and Will Arnett (aka Mr. Amy Poehler). It's funny, it's original, and I think it might just be the most feminist new show on television right now.
I have for many years been puzzled by the persistence of Hugh Hefner. Why is he still here? Why does anyone write about him? Why does anyone quote his remarks about his own cultural relevance as if they are anything but wishful thinking?
One lucky Norwegian woman woke up with a big rock, a wedding dress, and George Clooney—yes, the eternal bachelor we've all been convinced would never marry again. Sadly, the made-for-television marriage is actually just an advertisement for the bank DnB NOR. But at least we get to see someone marry the silver fox, even if it is just acting!
