McNamara/Troy- Bad Economy, Divorce, Rejuvination and............Matt's a Mime Now?!?!?

I love Rose McGowan but am a little freaked by her new nose.  It's appropos to play Sean's girlfriend on Nip/Tuck, but she was unrecognizable to me and I'm bummed because I would have cast her to play me in the movie of my life.

Rose McGowan recently said that she HAD to have plastic surgery after a piece of glass cut the bottom of her eye open in a car accident. She said that's the only reason why she had plastic surgery. Was the face lift a requirement?  What about the cheek implants?  The nose job?  The boob job?   

Rose should be wondering why Jennifer Grey hasn't made a movie since.........  ?????

Nip/Tuck-  I'll always love you, you crazy ass, psycho drama.  I am sad you must go.
Thank you for Mario Lopez's abs, Kimber being as hilarious as ever, and Matt the Mime.  Yes, Matt  is a mime and mimes freak me out as much as clowns.

I'll miss the very Dali- esque marketing, the meat saws to boobs, carving models' faces up, white supremists, serial killers and drug dealers.  I am as loyal as a puppy and will watch until the final episode when none other than the plastic surgery test dummy Joan Rivers shows up for the final epsiode.

I wonder if, and am hoping that, the season ends similarly to the famous final scene of Six Feet Under. 

(Six Feet Under- The Final Six Minutes Video)

If not, hopefully, Christian and Sean will be able to fix the economy and their failing business with a scalpel, a cleaver, a meat axe, a fork, nunchuks, a blow torch, a turkey baster, a hydrogen bomb and a pooper scooper.

Most Influential Man Of The Year is………….DON DRAPER…………How Cool!?!?

You know he's not real, www.askmen.com, don't you?

But I guess in light of the fact that drinking, smoking and sleeping around is all that is getting press these days it makes sense.

The website says he “represents something about male identity that is enduringly captivating but has nonetheless vanished…a brilliant career man and a temptation-swayed philanderer who sincerely wants to be a family man.” 

Reminds me of another fictional character that may have won if his show was still on the air.

Will the real Slim Shady please stand up?

They're Back! The Real Housewives of New Jersey

I never thought I could be more excited until I learned that BRAVO is renewing the Real Housewives of New Jersey!!!!!

I must adbmit I wasn't into any of it at all.  The subsequent seasons only midly interested me, although, I read a lot of the press surrounding NeNe and all her drama (yes she was a stripper -plus size I assume, writing a tell-all book, hating everyone and causing trouble as any "head bitch in charge" would do.)  There was no way in hell I would ever watch New York City Housewives because the unmarried, ex-Bridezilla, Martha Stewart Apprentice loser Bethenny Frankel annoys me to the point where I stop speaking coherently.

But one day I was home sick on the Sunday of the NJ finale and got caught up in the all day marathon. I was hooked!

I really believed it to be a redemption from the TV Gods to make up for Sopranos going off the air.

I think each of the wives represents at least someone we know or know of.

Danielle- a divorced, non-Italian with a book and rather large, non-articifial breasts.  It still hasn't been confirmed if she is returning.  She may be sleeping with the fishes.

Jacqueline- Restores faith in the fact that you can be a bar whore and still find someone (very rich) to marry you.

Dina- married to the mob, whose decorating sense did not translate to her brace-faced daughter's stuffed animal ridden room.

Caroline- She scares me so I'd rather not say anything about her.  I cross the street when I see any overweight red heads wearing bling. 

But most of all, I love Teresa.  Not because we share a name.  But because of her bubbs, McMansion and food fighting. 

Teresa vs. Danielle

BTW- most of them had babies over the summer.  So it just proves that no one cares that these gene pools could use a little more chlorine.

Yeah- She Got in My World Wide Pants- But You're Not

Video of Late Night Show Video of Extortion last night

If there could be a playbook on how sex scandals should be handled, David Letterman should write it.  He presented his story on his own terms. He didn't ask for anyone's forgiveness. He simply stated the facts and went on with his business.  And he did it with humor. 

I love David Letterman. He's smooth.

Check out the Top Ten Reasons Why Letterman's Sextortion Scandal Won't Matter

So do you think this Emmy winning producer of 48 hours extorntionist man would do a piece about the story when he gets out of jail and win another Emmy?  Stranger things have been known to happen in this business, right Whitney, MacKenzie, O.J.??????????

SNL: Some New Ladies

Meet Jenny Slate.  She is the newest castmember to join SNL as they celebrate 35 years on the air.  And she dropped the F-Bomb!  Classic!  Don't worry Jenny, I know how you feel.  I do it all the time.

The F-Bomb Live

If you are into funny sites and video on the internet as much as moi, you may know Jenny from the Brooklyn based, platonic friend writing duo Gabe and Jenny. (Gabe and Jenny website) Check out The Girlfriend video.  It's hilarious!

The Girlfriend

Nasim Pedrad also joined the cast this season.  I'm not sure what to make of her yet.  She wasn't in the show that much (unlike Kristen Wig who was in pretty much every sketch).  I do know Ms. Pedrad didn't use any expletives.  Here's a short list of some other people who did on live television:

• Sue Simmons in 2008 right after she thought they went to break
• Joe Scarborough on Morning Joe while discussing the Obama campaign
• Shaq talking to a reporter in 2006
• Jerry Lewis- yes- at the telethon- in 2007

Oh, by the way, Megan Fox was host.  I bet Lorne Michaels had no clue when he booked her that "Jennifer's Body" would drop an f-bomb as well, but this time it was at the box office.

Is There A Doctor in the House?

Of course there is- us!.  Well,  with all the hospital, doctor, plastic surgery shows on TV this season you can become one yourself.

Because I am geeky, and I love math (which is a common side effect of the aforementioned malady) I took time out from peeling grapes to figure it out. 

 The total: A LOT. 

In Primetime we have House, Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scrubs, Three Rivers, Mercy, Day One, Nip/Tuck (my sick and twisted guilty pleasure premiering on Oct 14th), Hawthorne, and Trauma (LOL)

And daytime is jumping on the band gurney with another Oprah spin-off- Dr Oz, The Doctors (whoever they are) , Dr. Phil - who is the Wal-mart of psychotherapy, and of course General Hospital (did Luke marry Laura again?)

I have a question:

Why would NBC repeat Trauma on Saturday nights?  I watched 7 minutes of it and I felt the need to call an EMT myself.  And when I did I prayed I wouldn't get one of the incompetent actors playing  an incompetent EMT.  I wish I had Hawkeye or Doogie. 

  

I think the show may have 'jumped the shark" even before it could rerun on Saturday on NBC.  Better to jump it than get eaten by one- because if one of those EMTs from Trauma showed up you'd be as good as dead.
