Project Runway Rundown: Freaks and… Lohan?

ProjectRunwayKlumSo, after what seems like 1,000 years without a little Heidi and Tim in my life, Project Runway made its return last night. For 4.5 hours. And I was in heaven.

Of course, before we got to meet the new designers in the main event, we had a little taste of some of our favorite designers from previous seasons in the Project Runway All-Star Challenge. I was more than happy to spend two hours with Chris March, Santino Rice, Daniel Vosovic, among others, but after seeing the snooze-fest of a cast that is season six, I wish I hadn’t been teased with such greatness.

Yeah, I said it. I think this season’s cast is bo-to-the-ring. But we’ll get to that in a moment.

The All-Star challenge was star studded (Nicole Kidman, what?!), suspenseful (“Project Runway on steroids,” according to Uli), and fun to watch (except for Jeffrey’s new ’stache – what the eff was up with that?). And it had a fantastic ending for my favorite designer in PR history, which I won’t share here in case some of you missed it. (It was Daniel! Sorry, I can’t keep it to myself. I just love him so much and he should have one the first time around!!)

Once King Daniel was crowned, it was time for the real deal: the Project Runway Season 6 premiere. I ran to the bathroom quickly (turning the TV up loud enough so I wouldn’t miss a moment), then grabbed a snack and settled in for amazingness.

And I waited.
And waited.

Yup. A full 60 mins went by and I got nothing. Sure, some of the new designers proved they had the talent to be on the show, and some of them brought the weird, but did any of them have a Christian/Santino/Jay McCaroll personality? One word: nopers. Read More »

G.W.W.E.: Rahm “Enforce Me” Emanuel

rahm.jpg(We’re back with another weekly installment of G.W.W.E. [Guys We Wanna Eff]. As Inauguration Week draws to a close, all we can think about is the newest effable White House employee, Rahm Emanuel.]

I’ve had the pleasure to write a handful of College Candy’s Guys We Wanna Eff, and as a red-blooded twentysomething female it’s certainly not a difficult task to write about the hottest male stars. But I have to preface the ode to this week’s man of honor by saying I would trade in a year’s worth of paychecks and possibly Spring Break for one night with Rahm Emanuel. He takes the number-one spot on my Eff List. That’s right, I said it!

While Joe Biden (who, may I say, looks A-OK for a man of 66) is technically second-in-command behind President Obama, Rahm Emanuel occupies what many call “the second most powerful job in Washington” as the White House Chief of Staff. The position labels him as the highest-ranking officer of the Executive Branch (after the President), as well as Obama’s senior advisor. Before joining the new administration, Emanuel was a Congressman representing Chicago in the House of Representatives. Now, what woman doesn’t want to eff a man in power? Read More »

This Week in Entourage: Vince is a Producer!

entourage11.jpgAfter spending a much-needed day at the beach, my weekend came to a close as it always does, with a fresh episode of Entourage.

While Ari, E and Vince’s storylines took a backseat, it was Turtle and Drama that had their day in the sun…er, night under the moon, I should say. Which was nice, because it definitely changed things up a bit for the boys.

Turtle goes to get Drama’s car detailed and cleaned, and while he’s there, he meets a cute girl who shares his interest in trendy sneakers. Hey, everybody’s got their thing, right? She’s into him (I guess Turtle is cute, in a teddy bear kinda way) and after convincing her intimidating father, who owns the car shop, to let him take his daughter out, Turtle leaves with a hot car and a hot date. Nice to see he can score the chicks without Vince by his side!

Is Entourage losing its’ steam?

Meanwhile, Drama wakes up to find his new TV show has been reviewed by all of the critics and he refuses to read them. He instead decides to relax at a “massage parlor” and is so distressed while his masseuse is “doing her thing” that he can’t “finish the deed.” Catch my inuendos? Read More »

This Week on Entourage: Vince Gets Dumped!

EntourageLast night, as I went through my post-Cinco de Mayo hangover process, my margarita-filled weekend came to an end with another episode of Entourage. In between refilling my glass of ice water and ten minute intervals between bathroom trips, I learned that things are definitely getting exciting with the boys.

After a day at the horse races, Drama falls in love with one of the horses, and although his particular horse failed to take first place, he falls in love with it and buys it off of the trainer in fear the horse will be taken to the glue factory. Hmmm…in love with a horse? That reminds me….Just kidding.

The horse is hauled back to the casa and ends up running out the gates. Definitely too much responsibility for these guys. Drama gives the horse away as a gift to his TV director, Ed Burns, whose daughter is more than happy to take the horse off his hands. Whatever! I love animals, but if someone dropped off a horse on my front lawn and said, “Look what I bought! It’s for YOU!” I would be pretty pissed to say the least. But I don’t even have a front lawn, so I guess I have nothing to worry about. Read More »

This Week on Entourage: Drama “Got Got!”

ep17_drama_costume1.jpgLast night’s Entourage was okay. Nothing too exciting happened, but we did get to see Ari at home with the wifey, which is always amusing, and also, Vincent Chase in the bathtub. Ooh-la-la! Let me catch you up to speed:

While Drama is paranoid about getting “got” on Pauly Shore’s Punk’d-esque TV show, he finds himself in a showdown with actual ultimate fighting champion, Chuck Liddell. You do not want to piss this guy off. Little does he know, Liddell is in on the prank, and after humiliating Drama in the fighting ring (and scaring the crap out of him) The Weasel himself appears to catch him on camera, and Drama relishes in the fact he will be on two television premieres in one week. Oh, that Drama…what would we do without him? Read More »

Last Night in Entourage: Ari Makes Nice!

Ari

Last night’s Entourage was a good one! The writers cleverly have Ari redeem himself after disappointing the fellas one too many times, by saving his lovable assistant, Lloyd, from what could have been a sticky situation. Literally. (Ew) The episode is all about the art of convincing.

While E and Vince plan a “couples” weekend to Napa, Turtle and Drama decide to score some chicks at the dog park. Clever, boys! They spend the day trying desperately to get laid by two girls, but when their dogs get in a fight, all the girls do is worry about their mangled pooch. Turtle and Drama are unsuccessful. No wonder these two are always kissing Vince’s ass – they need him around!

E’s girlfriend, Sloan, decides she wants her man all to herself for the weekend, and to prove that he isn’t whipped by Vince, E spends the day trying desperately to break the news to Vince that Nappa isn’t gonna happen in the “couples” sense. Besides, Vince can’t even find a date. What?!? Ummmm….he never called me…. Read More »

Entourage is On: Tonight!

entourage-large-msg-114979583872-2.jpgI haven’t been this excited for a television line-up since Step by Step replaced Dinosaurs on TGIF. Seriously.

TONIGHT, HBO not only welcomes back the most popular (and f*cked up) family, The Sopranos, but the boys of Entourage return, too!

Tune in at 9pm to catch the first of the last episodes of “The Sopranos” before they get wacked into syndication forever, and 10pm to watch Adrien Grenier be pretty and Jeremy Piven be a douche bag. Tonight, we meet Vince’s new female agent, Amanda, and find out how Ari is coping with getting fired. Probably not good, I assume.  Read More »
