Britney Spears back on How I Met Your Mother - Tonight

So little Miss Spears has decided to return to How I Met Your Mother tonight playing Barney's love interest while still having feelings (stalker feelings) towards Ted. It will be interesting so see how Britney handles the scrutiny this go round.



I read an article today in the Palm Beach Post stating that How I Met Your Mother had not been renewed for next season yet. Are you kidding me with this? This is undoubtedly the best sitcom on television right now (be quiet 30 Rock fans). Please watch! Please! How can you resist Barney (NPH to his friends Neil Patrick Harris otherwise). Don't let another great show go down in flames.

Question of the Day...Monday

What is the worst possible Mother's day gift that anyone can get? I did not win this year, my husband did well (I got a bike which I asked for). However, I have heard from a few friends that their Mother's Day was less than stellar. So here is the real question..how can a man that you have slept with, made and birthed children with, lived with and done virtually everything else with not know you well enough to find the "right" gift for your special day?

Kelly Taylor back to 90210

Did anyone else see the People article about Jennie Garth reprising her role on the new 90210 spinoff? So excited! She was my favorite character on the show but my how she has changed.





God I feel Old!

Question of the Day....Friday

Back to the gym; how do women work out with full make-up on and why? Today I saw a woman at the gym who not only had on full foundation, blush, lipstick and eye make-up but a closer look turned up false eyelashes! Now come on, are we to believe that after working out for an hour all of this make-up is still going to look perfect and if it does how? I know that the gym is a great place for the single ladies to meet a man but maybe just maybe these men want their women a little less high maintenance. Although with the amount of fake boobs trolling around at my gym (South Florida people), maybe not.

Top Chef - Chicago

With all of the great recaps out there about Top Chef (see David Dust's blog if you don't believe me) I have decided that when it comes to Top Chef I will keep it brief and to the point.

Basically last night after a relay QuickFire Challenge, the cheftestants (love it) were then told that the Elimination Challenge was all about planning the food for a wedding (125 people).



Two teams of four split up with one taking the bride's favorites and the other taking the groom's. The team who won (the bride's side) consisted of Richard, Antonia, Stephanie and Andrew (minus Andrew a real dream team). The losing team included Dale, Lisa (yuck), Nikki and Spike. The real kicker came when Spike and Dale had a throw down in the judging room. There was a lot of screaming and yelling about who did more work (by the way sounds like my house on the weekend). Caught in the crossfire, Nikki went home.



After Dale and Spike hugged it out, Nikki said her goodbyes and the group is down to seven. A few observations; Andrew is like a child with ADD. You never know how he is going to react or participate in anything. It's like a crap shoot. Dale showed his ass during judging with the "oh woe is me" (is that how you say that?) attitude. Someone on that team should have had the balls (or as Mark once said testicular fortitude) to be in charge. Every team needs a leader and this was so evident during last nights challenge. Spike's passive aggressive shit is not going to play much longer. He is worried about Spike and only Spike and eventually this attitude will come back to bite him in the ass (my goodness I am cussing a lot today). OH and Lisa (yuck, again) a doorag, are you kidding me? Please just do something and get booted, I can no longer listen to you bitch and I cannot look at the scowl (or sarcastic smirk) on your face any longer. Till next week.

Question of the Day....Thursday

I do not understand people who are rude to you just because they may not like their jobs. Now I know that this is a statement not a question so here is the question. If you hate your job why don't you find another one? I know that the market is iffy right now but I am talking about a check out girl at Publix (maybe 16 or 17). There are other retail jobs out there available that this girl may not have to interact with the public so much. I try to be as nice as possible when frequenting these places (I mean you have to go to the grocery store) but some of the people that work in these jobs just smack their gum, do not acknowledge you and basically act as if approaching their line is an imposition. I get enough of the rudeness and talking back at home. I don't need it when I am spending money as well. And I have stepped down from my pedestal, thank you.

America's Next Top Model - Cycle 10

Ding dong the man is gone! Finally, finally, finally the judges had the good sense to get rid of Dominique and for the first time put a plus-sized model in the final three. I have no illusions, my guess is that Fatima and Anya will be the final two but I was happy for Whitney and so glad to see Dominique finally go home.

This week started with a photography challenge where the models had to use what they had learned to take pictures of Paulina. Both Fatima and Whitney did well (with Fatima winning her first challenge) but Anya and Dominique were all over the place. Once again, Anya speaks and I fast forward. I cannot listen to her voice and Dominique just never shuts up, which is worse?

The photos this week were a staged "red carpet" event where the models were "caught" by the paparazzi with their boyfriend. Nigel was the photographer (is it just me or is he totally full of himself) and none of the shots were that great. Not one of the girls got the concept and as Mr. J stated "they were all too posey".

The judging began and based on the photos alone I knew that it would come down to Fatima and Dominique but I had it in my head that the judges would once again pick Dominique. Thank god they did not. Her picture looked like a him, there is no better way to state it. She (he, it) looked like a drag queen and even her outfit in judging screamed trash!



So Fatima stays another week (yeah) and next week is the Cover Girl commercial. I am interested (and fascinated) to see how Anya handles speaking in a commercial. Yeah for the plus-size girls everywhere (which by the way is a size 8 people). Good for Whitney. I still don't think she will win but I am impressed with how far she has come. Good riddance to the man. As you look at the girls she (he, it) beat out over the course of the show you have to wonder what kept her (him) around for so long? Tyra, glasses?
