London is known for its for its stock in tradition, so when Abercrombie and Fitch announced they would be opening a children’s store on Savile Row, a street known for high end menswear, the American brand was met with some opposition. Very well dressed opposition. Get more details and pictures here! The wit is undeniable. Well played good sirs, well played.

Is Rosie O’Donnell a single lady?

But last night, I was reminded of the original, the raw and the murderous side of this sensational piece of show — because of a) Gina’s ‘suicide’ and b) Crazy Agent Colleen.

Ok so, Christian is officially a murderer. Although the whole screwing Gina off a high-rise building seemed unintentional, I can’t help but wonder if he kind of meant to shove her off the edge. She was making his life a living hell, so why wouldn’t he want to get rid of her?

However, when it came to telling his son Wilbur about her death, it became quite obvious that he was mourning. What I’m most curious about though, is whether or not the whole incident will come back to haunt him. Will he ever get caught?

And on to the bread and butter of this episode. Colleen Rose — who I must say looks strikingly similar to 90′s talk show host, Sally Jesse Raphael. Right? It’s creepy. Anyway, this woman is a piece of work. She seemed all super agent in the beginning, landing Sean the lead role in Hearts and Scalpels.

But then she became increasingly obsessive over Dr. Mac. And she clearly will not give him up without a serious fight. Exibit A: The incredibly horrific murder of Bob the CAA guy. Holy shit! I was clutching my blanket while watching this scene, but that was the moment I realized, Nip/Tuck is really bad to its old self.

Crazy Colleen is the new real deal villain and she’s definitely not striking once now that she’s back in Sean’s good graces. I cannot wait to see what she’ll do next.

In next week’s episode, we’re back to the kink with Kimber and Eden doing a little porn. I was wondering when that would happen. I mean, let’s be honest, those two are cut from the same mold.

Til next time!

There are a few things I could’ve done without in last night’s Nip/Tuck episode:

a) A guest appearance by Rosie O’Donnell. Gross.

b) Marshmallow fluff. Gross.

c) The ass bandit story line. Where in god’s name did the producers come up with this one? (However, Liz’s comment about “digitally dittling” the victims was pretty damn funny.)

Anyway, on to the good stuff…eating disorders.

As someone who very recently wrote a blog about “thinspiration,” I was especially intrigued by the role it played last night. Naughty Eden has introduced poor MacNamara’s daughter to the trials and tribulations of being a young girl who’s overly concerned with her weight. Not only does Annie ask Dr. Mac for lipo because her ass is too big (???), but she gets coached by Eden on “ana” and “mia” not to mention which “thinspiration” websites she visits so that she gets thinspired to skinny.

She even goes as far as making Annie practice purging. Good lord this was so f-ed up! Aside from the fact that this is only a TV show, it’s no wonder so many young girls are developing eating disorders with the kind of influence that’s out there.

Then we have Kate, “the chick who used to be chubby.” She is battling her body as well with her peanut M&M and fluff cravings. Binge eating disorder is becoming more and more common these days and she exemplifies someone who can’t quite overcome it. I think we can all relate to her experience of eating a ton when we’re stressed or sad because some sh*thead broke our hearts. But I can’t help but not like her because she’s so sad and pathetic. It sounds awful, but I’m kind of over her character especially now that Doc Mac has asked her to marry him. Is he for real?

While we’re on the subject, I predict that Dr. MacNamara will have a bit of a bad boy streak. There is this part of him that wants so badly to act out (and screw Eden), and I think it’s only a matter of time before he unleashes the beast.

In contrast, it seems that Christian Troy may become a saint. His connection with the breast reduction nun may have awakened the good in him. Is it safe to say that his man whore days are over?

Guess we’ll have to see how it all plays out.

There’s just something about Regis Philbin, his demeanor, the look in his eye, the way he hunches over his high risen stool and leans into camera, peering relentlessly into the eyes of millions of American housewives and grandmothers. In truth, I can’t help but dislike him as Kelly Rippa chirps solemnly around set, over gesticulating her way into the stuff of a morning show legend. In the chair where Kathy Lee Gifford would ultimately rise and fall, how quickly we forget success when failure interferes with commercial advertising.

This is what daytime television is made of, predetermined banter spiked with personal ambiguity hidden behind the confides of little blue index cards. These types of hosts thrive mostly on conformity and the pleasing of the masses. Mostly they steer away from subversion preferring never to rock the boat. They are the “Murdoch worshipers”, living to please the peacock, look into the CBS eye and learn their ABC’s while minding their P‘s and Q‘s. These are “the Grains” of America‘s food pyramid. You should eat six ounces a day with at least half of them whole. Grains are the basis of a healthy diet. This may come as a surprise to you after years of being told to stay away from foods such as breads, rice, and cereal.

Though every host is in a sense looking to keep his or her position and maintain a relationship with a network it seems that there are a few using their timeslots as a platform to voice opinions, provide insight and increase social change. Oprah Winfrey for example changed the face of television by using her power to form a movement. Making a sincere effort to challenge the way Americans think and feel about the state of the world. Her book club increased literacy in America, her charities have save millions of lives, and her Angel Network has provided educational opportunities that were otherwise impossible for young students simply by collecting a country’s spare change.

Rosie O’Donnell has also made her mark on television history by not only appearing in her first successful long running talk show but by becoming the moderator of ABC’s “The View”. O’Donnell was unafraid to voice opinions that are for all intent purposes condemned by the higher-ups, recently stating that there are four corporations that control the media of the world and “this is one of them” (meaning ABC), encouraging viewers to find their own stance and reject political propaganda. Her appearances on The View have caused quite a bit of controversy, even causing right wing conservative and resident air head Elizabeth Hasselbeck to break down into tears while rocking back and forth on the lap of Barbara Walters like a spoiled child. This Murdoch worshiper is a favorite of Fox news and a public advocate of not only the war in Iraq, but the horrific torture techniques used by American soldiers in Abu Ghraib. Her wispy blonde locks toss from side to side as her leopard stilettos tap against the fake living room set, clenching her teeth as O’Donnell spouts her views on 9/11 conspiracy theories and the evils of George Bush. Seemingly set up, she appears to be placed there to tame the “fringe liberals” she so avidly despises and often labels unpatriotic. The final blow out was a You Tube favorite, spreading like wildfire through blogosphere. Ultimately, O’Donnell left the high rated show unable to stomach Hasselbeck’s robotic stare and passionate ignorance. O’Donnell and Winfrey would be considered “The Vegetables” in the television pyramid, whose required intake for a healthy diet has tripled over the past three years. Vegetables are an essential part of a healthy diet. But not all vegetables are created equal. They are important to vary and consume on a regular basis.

The FCC and Broadcasting corporations have infringed on a host’s civil rights in the case of “The Howard Stern Show”. The Bush administration in a return to conservative values had increased censorship on airwaves penalizing Stern for using offensive language by fining him millions for the very same phrases and form of comedy he had been using for twenty years. Pushing the envelope to another extreme the Stern Show actively opposed the Bush campaign influencing listeners to vote for the left, suddenly incurring service interruptions. This kind of right wing upper hand forced him into Satellite radio, a paid subscription service. Bill Maher of ABC’s “Politically Incorrect” could probably tell you that he saw it coming. After making a controversial comment in reference to the 9/11 terror attacks he was forced into HBO oblivion, a popular channel but minuscule in comparison to network television, leaving America wondering if our civil rights now come at a per month cost. Hosts like Bill Maher and Howard Stern fall into the fruit category, necessary for a healthy diet their requirements have also trippled in recent years. Fruit in your diet is necessary to Completely Detoxify Your Body (or mind in this case) this detoxification leads to the removal of all the toxins, wastes and poisonous compounds .

Bill O’Reilly, the love child of Fox News and what one can only imagine to be a robot created by Dick Cheney in a fit of republican rage, delivers his own personal opinions to the dismay of liberal Hollywood. He relentlessly attacks those of opposing points of viewpoints with answers for every argument that never seem to quite make any sense. For some reason O’Reilly has gone uninterrupted, free to voice his opinions which conveniently seem to coincide with our current administrations. Hosts like O’Rielly would be considered the meat and bean portion of our diet, necessary for protein. To achieve healthy cholesterol levels, you don’t have to avoid red (or white) meat entirely. However, you do have to find healthier alternatives. Eating too much of this food group can be dangerous to ones health, which is why some vegetarians or left wingers in this case find the best way to maintain health is to become a vegetarian.

These members of the pyramid are in some sense at war with each other. In a world where Ann Coulter is a name I know well enough to use in this article from morning show press, I wonder if what I have the chance to absorb from talk show hosts is just a controlled preconceived ideology provided by a larger power. One can only hope that Freedom of speech was not something lost while channel surfing and that hosts are able to use a steady network platform to rock the boat, increase political awareness, and encourage social change. In the meantime we always have Jerry Springer who incidentally is perfectly acceptable in the eyes of both right and left wing audiences, not to mention the independents or Rush Limbaugh. Guilty pleasures like Springer can only be classified as Oil, not an official food group but necessary in small portions.

Yes as disqusting as it may be, Page Six reports that Dina Lohan hit the red carpet at last night’s “Georgia Rule” premiere in NYC, as a “special correspondant” for Entertainment Tonight. ET says “We are looking forward to Dina asking the questions only a mother can.” WTF ET??? Are you so irresponsible that you would allow a mother to profit off her own daughter’s addictions for a mere ratings boost? You both deserve eachother, you miserable, ignorant sluts.

It’s no secret that Dina Lohan has been vying for Rosie O’Donnell’s plus-sized chair on the View. And to her defense, what could be better for her acting reel than an on air ET exclusive? I guess I really shouldn’t be surprised by any of this.

Apparantly this isn’t the first time the elder Blohan and Entertainment Tonight have profitted together off of Lindsay’s misfortunes. On LiLo’s last rehab stint, Dina brought ET cameras inside the rehab facility for yet another exclusive. With all these heart-felt, public displays of motherly love, it is very difficult to understand how the young Hollywood starlet could have so many problems.

I f@$&ing hate the View and more specifically Rosie O’Donnell, but I am a big fan of Alec as Jack Donaghy on 30 Rock and was certain he would use this opportunity to take some responsibilty for his ridiculous tirade and show the world he is deserving of atleast a tiny bit of compassion. How wrong was I?

Acting as the meat in the middle of a Rosie-WaWa sandwich, Alec spent 20 minutes placing the blame on everyone possible but himself. He cited the guy that released the tape as being a miserable human being who exploited Alec’s dark moment only because he himself had a closet full of deep dark secrets. He then went on to bash all the members of the tabloid media as being evil people with broken souls. And if any one person deserves the blunt of the blame, it is not himself, but rather his unfit, emotionally troubled ex-wife.

Was Alec Baldwin’s apology sincere?

Come’on Alec. Yes your points are valid, but very inappropriate. This was the perfect opportunity for you to just say you are sorry, that you love you daughter more than anything and that you will never be able to forgive yourself for misdirecting your anger at her when you meant it for your wife.

You blew it. Jack Donaghy or not, Alec Baldwin, you are a first class ass.

Yes, she’s loud. Yes, she has made horribly stupid remarks in the past. And sure, she never really fooled me with that ‘nice’ act, but to have Tom Delay up your ass for saying out loud what a lot of Americans are thinking these days can’t be fun at all.

If you don’t spend all your time reading CNN.com and People.com like me, let me give you a quick rundown of the controversy: Delay, the former House Majority leader who resigned earlier this year under speculation of financial wrongdoings, is pissed at Rosie for a few things, but most notably, her continual questioning of the 911 tragedy. Rosie has publicly stated that she will seek “a rigorous truth” about September 11th , which basically means is that there are a lot of questions she feels have gone unanswered about the event. Delay claims that O’Donnell is blaming President Bush for the attacks, throwing conspiracy theories around and letting the ‘terrorists’ off easy.

Rosie Vs. Tom in a Cage Match – Who would win?

The thing is, there have been conspiracy theories floating around since day one. Rosie O’Donnell is not the only person, by far, who has made remarks claiming Bush and his administration have made America less safe. If Delay wanted to go after every person who used their free speech to criticize the president, he’d be chasing down half the world.

Rosie is loud. She’s outspoken. She doesn’t sit quietly when she’s been insulted. And she believes in the power of free speech. Her personal quarks aside, I can’t say I disagree with her. We should be allowed to say whatever we want. We should be ready for the consequences of saying whatever we want (Right, Imus?), but we should still be able to say it.

What do you think, lovelies? Exercise that free speech muscle!
