NBC Hates Their Best Friends

Posted by BRADY in Square Eyes

Alright NBC, I’ve been letting you off the hook recently because of your decision to bring Community back, but canceling Best Friends Forever?! After 4 episodes?! Come on! For those not in the know, BFFs is (or, sadly, was) a new single camera sitcom created by, written by and starring Lennon Parham and Jessica St. Clair, two extremely funny ladies. NBC gave the show a 6 episode order, pairing it with Betty White’s Off Their Rockers on Wednesday nights, but after only 4 episodes airing they stuck it on “permanent hiatus,” replacing the last two episode with more of Betty White’s show. That’s right, the funny and charming BFF was ousted because Americans and NBC needed even MORE old people pranking youngsters. Old people rapping and runaway rascal scooters!! Groundbreaking stuff here people. I’ve been expecting some Betty White backlash to start ever since her big comeback where she began appearing in every piece of recorded comedy over the past couple years, but people still can’t get enough of her. Maybe slapping her name on this hokey show was her attempt to kick the backlash off so she can finally get some rest. Well, mission not accomplished.

Anyway, back to BFFs and why you should care about NBC canceling it. Well, for one thing, it got funnier and funnier throughout it’s first 4 episodes, which is an extremely good sign of the heights of hilarity it could reach in a season 2. Second of all, it’s got one of the more unique and intimate creative processes in network TV. Whereas most network sitcoms have a room full of writers just pitching out idea after idea until one sticks, Jessica St. Clair and Lennon Parham, real life best friends who met doing improv for the legendary UCB, improvise all these scenes just the two of them playing all the characters, then transcribe those to write the scenes. Plus, this is maybe the only truly female-driven network tv sitcom. Sure, there are some created by women and starring women, but most still have a healthy dose of testosterone in the writer’s room.

Unfortunately, what gave BFFs so much potential (it was essentially just a show about two best friends, so it could go anywhere) is probably what killed it for NBC, who are very much used to shows with an easily definable hook (This one is in an office! This one is in a TV studio! This one is in small town government! This one is in a community college!). But check out the competition over on ABC, like Happy Endings. That show was initially received as a Friends rip-off that had no real point, just a group of friends hanging out. And guess what? By it’s second season it was one of the funniest shows on network TV.

So come on NBC, give your Best Friends a chance! Can Best Friends Forever at least be Best Friends For Two Seasons?

Gossip Girl S03E12: The Debarted

Posted by KAT in Gossip Girl

December 8th, 2009, 12:28 PM

Hey, is Gossip Girl turning into a daytime soap? Car accidents, mistresses, political scandals, good kids gone bad, love triangles, moms back from the dead… all signs point to yes!  Here’s what went down…

Jenny Humphrey & Eric van der Woodsen
SO TIRED OF THESE TWO.  So they’re still rivals, I guess, but they’re really boring about it.  Jenny gets some rare designer handbag, so Eric has some cute dark-haired girl named Sawyer get it too, to piss Li’l J off and make her look bad in front of the minions when she tells Sawyer to get rid of it.  But then Jenny buys everyone rare designer handbags and everyone’s happy.  Then Eric and Jenny make up and its SO BORING.  But are they made up for good?

The end of the ep sees Jenny out on the town with Damien, the drug-dealing son of an ambassador.  It seems Li’l J’s been dealing drugs!  So stoked.  She’ll look helluv cute in juvie.

Gossip Girl: Jenny Humphrey & Damien

Dan Humphrey & Vanessa Abrams

So Dan is STILL crushing on Vanessa and isn’t sure what to do.  She invites him up on a weekend getaway with her and her new bf Paul Hoffman and some cute girl named Willa Weinstein, but he can’t decide whether to go.  Buddy Nate Archibald suggests he either a) confess his feelings or b) start up with some random college hook-ups.  Dan tries b), by trying to hook up with Willa (wearing gold lamé!) but it just don’t feel right and he stops.

On to a)!  In a moment of high emotion, Dan tells Vanessa he loves her.  “I love you, too,” she says, but in a BFF way.  He starts explaining himself, but she stops him and tells him people say things they don’t mean when under stress, and basically brushes him off.

Though pretentious and terrible, Vanessa’s not stupid.  Babe knows what’s going on.  Is she totally over Dan? Will she be ready to address the issue after she’s thought things through?  Eh, can’t say that I care.

Serena van der Woodsen & Trip van der Bilt
Serena’s shacking up with Trip at the family’s country estate, acting like such a teenager.  Zomg where’s the wifi, where’s the TV wah wah wah.  Meanwhile, Trip gets a phone call and tells S he’s off to meet with grandfather.  But guess where he goes?  Off to see wife Maureen!  It seems Maureen is okay with him seeing Serena privately, as long as they’re together publicly - she thinks this fling is just a phase.  Maureen then tells Trip she’d like to speak with Serena, which he agrees to because he’s sooooo spineless.

Gossip Girl: Maureen van der BiltSo Maureen talks to Serena and basically lays it all out for her: “You can have him in private, but I get him in public…I’m Jackie, you’re Marilyn.”  She whips out the letter from Serena’s dad Keith van der Woodsen as blackmail - if S doesn’t agree to the plan, she’ll tell Rufus what’s in that note, which is essentially something about mother Lily and Keith spending the night in a hotel room together while she was supposedly at CeCe’s.

Serena is freaked out and calls mommy, telling her she wants to go home, everything is horrible.  Lily promises her she’ll tell Rufus everything.  Serena starts leaving to find a cab, right as Trip comes home.  Serena’s super pissed at him and wants to leave.  He convinces her to let him drive her back, which she agrees to - but no talking, plz.

BOOM CRASH POW!  Trip swerves to hit a pack of wolves (Wtf? Twilight crossover wolves?) and crashes the car.  Serena is hunched over the dashboard, blood spilling from her dome.  Trip gets out of the car, unscathed, and calls MaureenMaureen waves her magic PR wand and ding!  Serena has been transferred to the driver’s seat and is now the lone car crash survivor and is rushed to the hospital.

But Nate knows everything!  He had been on his way to the country estate to see Serena when he came across the accident.  Nate confronts cousin Trip in front of the hospital, and after Trip responds like a wuss, Nate punches his lights out!  So awesome.  P.S. Do people still say “punch his lights out”?  I hope so. 

Lily rushes to the hospital to see Serena, and tells her that she still hadn’t told Rufus about the letter, which bums her out. Lily leaves to tell confront the situation, but unfortunately, she’s too late: Maureen has already gone to Rufus with the note.  We later see him meeting one of the trophy wives he’d met earlier in the episode at a bar - he needs to talk to someone who can relate.  Get it?  Rufus is a trophy husband who’s been tossed aside!

Serena wakes up in the middle of the night and sees Nate asleep in a chair and her room.  This makes her happy.  Love is blooming!

Chuck Bass and the Ghost of Bart Bass
Finally, a Chuck Bass storyline we can sink our teeth into!  So basically, it’s the anniversary of Chuck’s father Bart’s death, and so he keeps imagining the old-timer everywhere.  Bart is constantly over Chuck’s shoulder, criticizing his business deals and telling him he’s gone “soft” because he’d let gf Blair Waldorf into his heart.

Gossip Girl: Bart Bass & Chuck Bass

Obv, this causes Chuck to act like a huge dick to Blair, who keeps trying to comfort him on his day of grief.  Dude keeps pushing her away, but she understands what’s going on and is persistent.

On his way to an important meeting, Chuck gets a call about step-sis Serena’s accident and asks his driver to turn the car around to the hospital.  Of course, Bart shows up and tells him he sucks, he’s gonna lose the deal.  Chuck manages to disregard dad and heads to see his fam.

At the hospital, Chuck relives the scene of  his father passing away - seeing Bart on his deathbed, being overwhelmed with emotion, and rushing past Lily and Serena out the door.  Chuck panics and collapses on the hospital floor.  Blair comes out to talk to him and tells him he’s strong, that he had grown up to be the man his father never was - someone who cared about people and confronted his emotions.

Chuck takes Blair’s words to heart and decides to visit his father’s grave - and is met with a strange woman at the gravestone, who calls out “Charles!” and runs off.  Confused, Chuck approaches the grave and finds a locket with an “E” and a picture of Bart on it.

HELLO!  This is clearly Chuck’s mother, am I right?  His mom’s name had been Evelyn (E locket!), she’d brought yellow flowers (mom’s fave!), and Blair had mentioned Chuck had never been to her gravesite because Bart thought it was morbid for children to visit cemeteries.  Basically, Evelyn Bass is alive, right?

We’ll find out… when?  It’s unclear when Gossip Girl will return from winter hiatus, but I hear it may not be until March.  Sheesh!  Way too long!

I’ve enjoyed these past two episodes.  Don’t quit on me now, Gossip Girl!  xoxo!

Goss Girl S3E9: They Shoot Humphreys, Don’t They?

Posted by KAT in Gossip Girl

November 10th, 2009, 12:10 PM

OM3! Last night was the much-publicized Gossip Girl threesome, and let me tell you, it wasn’t pretty.  Let’s start the rundown.

Jenny Humphrey
So basically, Li’l J’s still being a huge bitch, ordering her minions around and scheming to remain Queen Bee.  But don’t worry, you guys, she’s only a crappy person cuz she’s insecure on the inside.  See, J is from Brooklyn, and thus way behind on things like ballroom dancing and wearing skirts that reach past her the fingertips.  Luckily, stepmother Lily van der Woodsen has pulled some strings, and Jenny is able to make her debut at cotillion along with the other Upper East Siders. Insecure about her lack of experience being rich, Jenny decides she needs to have an A+ date to the deb ball, namely, some dude named Graham Collins.  Unfortunately, her minions are having some trouble pinning the guy down.

Gossip Girl: Jenny Humphrey & her minions

Newly-scheming stepbrother Eric van der Woodsen, pretending to be helpful, convinces her to go to the ball with his boyfriend Jonathan (no clue why she would agree).  He then swipes Li’l J’s phone and texts “No, thanks” to Graham Collins‘ actual invitation to the dance on Jenny’s behalf.

However, Jenny finds out what Eric did and, in turn, dumps Jonathan as her date and Blair Waldorf as her pseudo-mentor (J: “Your era’s over. And so is that headband”).  This incites Eric and Blair to team up, and they do so by taking in this babe named Kira Abernathy with a seriously busted face (did she win a walk-on role sweepstakes?) and making her over to become the new Queen Bee.  Eric even blackmails hottie Graham Collins to go with her, by telling him that what happens at Camp Suisse doesn’t necessarily stay at Camp Suisse (scandal!).

The plan is as follows: when each girl debuts, Jenny will take the stage thinking Graham is her escort, and then be publicly humiliated when she discovers this isn’t the case - and she actually has no date to her society debut.  So this basically happens, and sure, it’s pretty mortifying - but it’s not really a biggie on account of Li’l J makes a quick call to Nate Archibald and he comes a-runnin’ to join her on stage for the debut.  BORING!  But hey, you think these two will rekindle their near-romance?

Gossip Girl: Jenny Humphrey & Nate Archibald

BONUS: Boyfriend Jonathan is nonplussed by Eric’s deviant behavior (shock me shock me shock me!) and dumps the dude.  Bummer!  This just means Eric‘ll have more time to scheme with busted-faced Kira.  “The next time we take Jenny down,” he tells her, “It will be for good.”  Cute!

Serena van der Woodsen and Blair Waldorf
These former besties are still feuding, and Chuck Bass is tired of it.  Thus, he schemes to trap Serena and Blair in an elevator, where they will remain until they make up (what is this, an ABC sitcom?).  So they do, and Serena opens up to Blair about her daddy issues and blah blah blah while Blair listens in with an uncharacteristically sympathetic ear.  Serena also tells her about her crush on Senator Trip van der Bilt, Nate’s cousin and Serena’s recent employer.  She admits that things between them are getting a little too personal - Trip admitted as much to her earlier that day.  Blair recommends that she quit and never see Trip again; dude is a married Congressman after all!  Serena agrees, and marches down to his office to resign then and there.

Gossip Girl: Trip van der Bilt & Serena van der Woodsen

Unfortch, when Serena finds Trip, she is distracted by his boyish good looks and is easily convinced that the two of them can manage to keep things professional.  I think we all know where this is headed.

Dan Humphrey, Olivia Burke, and Vanessa Abrams
On with the show!  I’ve saved the worst for last!  Yes, I’m sorry, ole greaseface, beefarms, and hemphair make up the trois in our ménage a trois.  After Olivia is notified that she will be soon leaving town to film Endless Knights IV, Dan and Vanessa decide to cram the full college experience into one wild ‘n crazy night, by running through a “15 Things You Have To Do In College” list in 24 hours.

Gossip Girl: Dan Humphrey & Vanessa Abrams

They do a bunch of boring stuff like drink at a party and blah blah blah finally retire to the girls’ dorm room after a full night.  Dan (that dog!) points out that they have one item left to check off: have a threesome.  This leads to the “Have you ever?” question (they hadn’t), which leads to Olivia kissing Dan, Olivia kissing Vanessa, then Vanessa kissing Dan.  Cut to the three of them asleep in bed.  We can all assume what went down, and let’s face it, Vanessa loved every minute.

But Olivia gets a text message as she sleeps: Endless Knights IV is off!  This means she’ll be sticking around after all.  Guess they didn’t have to have that threesome!

Though winding down with a barf, the episode ends with a gasp.  Lily van der Woodsen picks up the mail to find a letter to Serena from Daddy van der Woodsen (Keith, I believe?)!  Will she give the letter to Serena?  Hide it?  Will Serena resolve her ongoing daddy isues?

The Parents Television Council (PTC) tried to keep this week’s episode of Gossip Girl off the air, but why?  “They Shoot Humphreys, Don’t They?” was an anti-threesome ad, if you ask me.  Did you see the trio in question?  Would you want to be involved with any of them?  Gross me out!

Besides, kids don’t even watch this show.  25+-year-olds trying to relive the Bev 90210/OC glory days do.

xoxo!

Are Sanjolly Dating or Just BFFing?

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Outta Here!: Sanjaya Malakar & Holly Montag a.k.a. SanjollyIf you’ve been watching this here space over the past few months, you know I was uncharacteristically stoked on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!

One of the most intriguing things about the show was the relationship between American Idol reject Sanjaya Malakar and minor Hills character Holly Montag, a.k.a Sanjolly.  It wasn’t clear whether the relationship was romantic, or just a case of the BFFs.  Though Holly denies any hanky panky, rumor has it that things are getting serious, and that she is currently en route to Kauai to meet Sanjaya’s family.

Are they or aren’t they?  To be honest, it doesn’t really matter to me, I’m just in it for the Speidi soundbites.  Here’s what Holly Montag’s brother-in-law Spencer Pratt has to say about the whole thing:

“I’ve actually been praying nonstop that they get married, and I can actually have a brother-in-law named Sanjaya, and I can go to India and hang out. Speidi and Sanjolly are going to Bollywood!”

Love that guy!  Can’t wait to see Heidi totally disrespecting Indian culture by wearing her sari like a bikini.

Daisy of Love: OMG! London Calling!

Posted by KAT in Daisy of Love

June 29th, 2009, 11:51 AM

Man oh man, Daisy of Love just keeps getting better and better.  Last night’s episode had me convinced that DoL is the best reality series of all time.  Admit it, you agree.  Well done, VH1.

The episode started innocently enough.  Daisy’s diary announced that Flex and Chi Chi would be going on a date that day.  They hit the road and drive somewhere in the middle of the desert, where they’ll be off-roading for the day.  Each dude takes his turn taking Daisy for a spin.  Flex drives fast and crazy, which Daisy says turns her on (grody!).  Chi Chi predictably drives at a conservative pace, so as not to scare Daisy.  Snooze cruise - LITERALLY!

Then it’s Daisy’s turn to drive, and she ends up flipping the dune buggy!  This is why we love her, am I right?

Daisy of Love: Daisy & Flipped Dune Buggy

Now back at home, it’s 12 Pack / Dave and Sinister’s turn to hang with Daisy.  She sits them down at dinner, where Sinister tries his hardest to act confident to woo Daisy12 Pack / Dave, on the other hand, makes some weird references to heartbreaker London, the hottie contestant who had bounced on Daisy weeks prior cuz of shizz getting too real.  Daisy is visibly weirded out - but this doesn’t stop her from asking 12 Pack / Dave to join her up in her room for a nightcap.

Predictably, Sinister goes apeshizz over not being picked to make out and starts knocking over bunk beds and stuff.  Lame!

Up at the door of Daisy’s room, Daisy and 12 Pack / Dave have to step across Chi Chi to get inside her room.  He’s waiting to get some more time with her.  Daisy politely tells him goodnight, and takes 12 Pack / Dave inside to smooch. Chi Chi then straight up decides to get a pillow and blanket set up at the foot of the door to wait for Daisy’s make out sesh to end so he can hang with her.  What seem like hours pass and, after a while, he gives up.  Oy.  That man has got no self-respect.

Daisy of Love: Chi Chi Sleeping at the Foot of Daisy's Door

The next morning, Riki Rachtman lets us in on a little secret: he’s been in touch with London!  Apparently, our man London (my original pick for Daisy, might I add) decided leaving the show was a bad idea.  He still has feelings for Daisy, and had only left in the first place on account of being too weirded out with the reality TV thing - understandable.  Riki decides to let London come back to talk to Daisy - not because he thinks he’s the one for her, but because he sees that the situation needs some closure.  Good man, that Riki.

So!  London returns! And Daisy gets lost in his puppy dog eyes and agrees to consider letting him back into the house!  She tells all the guys, who are NOT happy with the whole situation.  Flex wonders why they don’t just bring back all 20 guys and just keep the cycle going.  Sinister refers to London as a “local band douchebag.”  Chi Chi doesn’t mind much and invites London to sleep in his room.  Ugh.

Chi Chi then goes up to Daisy’s room to let him know he supports her and all her decisions and blah blah blah will this guy give it a rest already?

Elimination time! Daisy tells London that, even though he doesn’t deserve it, he gets a chain and will be staying to fight the good fight for her affection.

Daisy of Love: London, Flex, Chi Chi, Sinister, 12 Pack / Dave

Next up, 12 Pack / Dave gets the first chain, then Flex.  Then it’s time to decide between BFFs Chi Chi and SinisterDaisy decides to give Chi Chi the boot, because she doesn’t want to ruin their friendship, and because she sees him as more of a good friend.  Duh squared, am I right?

WOW!  So still in the running, we’ve got 12 Pack / Dave, Flex, Sinister, and…. London!  I think we can probs all stop watching now, cuz it’s…

Daisy of Love: London

London FTW!

Paris Hilton Claims “That’s Huge” As Her Own

Posted by KAT in Paris Hilton's My New BFF, Paris Hilton's My New BFF 2

June 11th, 2009, 11:49 AM

Paris Hilton's mug shotOh, brother.  Listen to this load of malarkey.

Apparently, Paris Hilton has copyrighted her new catch phrase, “That’s huge.”  She’ll be charging any public figure who uses the phrase.

Oh, and bee tee dubs, she’s already locked down “That’s hot,” so don’t even try to use that one.

Hmph.  In the words of the great Tina Fey, Paris Hilton’s a piece of sh*t.  I’ve watched an episode or two of Paris Hilton’s My New BFF, and I really don’t understand why anyone would legitimately want to be friends with her.  She’s not funny or charming or even fun, and she’s like, negative smart and mean-spirited.

In fact, my favorite thing about Paris is that she never got her hook nose fixed.  She coulda bought herself a super nice schnozz with daddy’s money, if you think about it, but she stuck it out with that skin-scythe.

At least Heidi and Spencer work hard for their airtime.  Paris just sorta hangs around holding tiny accessory dogs.

Okayyy, rant OVER!

Daisy of Love: Little Buddy Beatdown

Posted by KAT in Daisy of Love, Rock of Love 2

June 7th, 2009, 07:59 PM

Last night, on Daisy of Love - which I’ve come to realize is my favorite TV show at the moment, no shame - the guys were pitted against one another in some serious combat: cage fighting.  Luckily for them, Cage (an ACTUAL cage fighter) had excused himself from the show just one week prior, so they were spared some serious damage.

Daisy of Love: 6 Gauge, 12 Pack, Chi-Chi, Sinister, Fox, Flex, & Big Rig

The fellas were split up by weight class to keep the fight fair.  Here’s how it went:

Big Rig vs. 12 Pack: A trained fighter, B.R. easily annihilated his ab-ulous competitor, though 12 Pack put up a pretty decent fight.

Fox vs. Chi-Chi: Fox seemed to be doing okay… for the first 37 seconds, after which he gave up.  He’s a hairdresser, he cuts hair!

Flex vs. 6 Gauge: Flex whooped 6 Gauge’s arse, to no one’s surprise.  Seems the general consensus in the house is that 6 Gauge doesn’t really try at much of anything (including competing for Daisy’s love!).

Chi-Chi vs. Sinister: Chi-Chi pledges he’d never hit his “little buddy,” but after Sinister gets a few good punches in, the Cheechmeister gets him in a choke-hold (no clue if its actually called that btw) and wins the match.  Suck it, little buddy!

In the end, Big Rig wins MVP and gets to go on a private date with Daisy, alone in a bubble bath.  Homeboy gets in the tub and immediately rubs his face in between her breasts, which doesn’t weird her out at all.  We can only assume people do that to her ALL the time.

Daisy of Love: Big Rig & Daisy

But what DOES weird her out is when he tells her he’s falling for her and gives her a photo of his son.  Our fair Daisy has got her priorities wrong, methinks.

Otherwise, good date.  Before preparing for her next date - with Chi-Chi, Sinister, and Flex - Daisy goes outside to talk with 6 Gauge, on account of he’s been distant.  He tells her about his days as a stripper, pretending to love the ladies outside of work to get their moneys.  Daisy grimaces and tells him she loved stripping because she’s an entertainer, not for the money.  “I’m not that desperate,” she tells him.

Value judgments from Daisy of Love?!  LOVE IT.

Meanwhile, behind the scenes, Flex and 12 Pack team up to break up “the twins” - their nickname for BFFs/roomies Chi-Chi and Sinister. Flex starts going on and on about how if it were HIM in a competition for Daisy with his best friend, he’d kill him.  You can tell these sneaky mind games are starting to work on Sinister, who’s starting to resent Chi-Chi.

Okay!  So now we’re on our tattoo date and Chi-Chi continues kissing some serious butt and gets Daisy’s lips tattooed on his hip, which annoys Sinister, on account of he had thought up the idea like aaaages ago.  Blah blah Sinister gets the word “sinister” on his wrist, Flex gets a touch-up, yada yada yada am I the only one who doesn’t give a shizz about tats?

Back at the farm, Fox gets a call from his brother, who tells him that his girlfriend had just found out he was on the show and they like, start speaking Pig Latin or something to confuse us viewers at home.  Girlfriend?!  Yup!  Apparently Fox has been living with some babe until leaving for the show.  Unclear as to whether or not he broke it off with her.

Daisy of Love: Fox

Stupid, stupid Fox confides in 12 Pack, who tells him to immediately tell Daisy, which he does.  He really vaguely explains what’s going on, making his story hard to believe.  Luckily for him, Daisy’s too lost in his smoldering good looks to really give a rat’s A.  Besides, she basically did the same thing to Bret Michaels on Rock of Love 2, so she can’t really complain.

In the end Daisy decides to send 6 Gauge home, on account of she’s not really feelin’ it.  Fox is super relieved and tells us folks watching at home, “Honesty is… awesome.”  Well put, Fox.

What do you think, guys?  I, personally, stand by my pick: Flex.  Go home already, Fox!

TTYN, Brittany Flickinger! Love, Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton's My New BFF: Paris Hilton & Brittany Flickinger, in happier timesIt’s been a while since we’ve heard from Brittany Flickinger, winner of Paris Hilton’s My New BFFLast we’d heard, Paris was dissin’ Britts something awful at Sundance.  Did the BFFship take a turn for the worse since then?

YUP!  Take a look at what Brittany told Dr. Blogstein’s Radio Happy Hour:

“I’m really sick of getting branded with a bad reputation for hanging out with her and sticking up for such a disgusting, self-centered user. I’m a good person… I have morals. I don’t have to do anything disgusting or rash to get famous.”

“She’d tell me things that made me think I was her best friend. And we got really close. And I’m like, Oh, man, this is really nice.”

“Then all of a sudden it was like, ‘Casting for BFF 2! Better end this now. Bye. I don’t need you anymore.’ That’s disgusting to do to somebody… That’s defamation of character.”

Hmm.  I find it hard to believe Brittany truly thought Paris would be her best friend forever and never star in another BFF-search show again.  And, um, un-BFFing someone doesn’t quite qualify as “defamation of character.”

Come on now, Brittany, REALLY?!

She’s obviously dragging Paris‘ through the mud for publicity.  You know, to call attention to her “music” or whatever.  Why else talk about it at all?

Who’s the self-centered user now, Brittany, huh?  Who’s defaming whose character, eh?  WHO!?

ANSWER ME!

The Office: Mindy KalingExciting news this morning!  Mindy Kaling, a.k.a Kelly Kapoor on The Office, has signed a new development deal with NBC and Universal Media Studios!

Under the terms of the deal, Kaling will continue to write for and appear on The Office next season while simultaneously developing a comedy of her own.  She’s interested in possibly doing a buddy show à la Flight of the Conchords, or perhaps a series about women.

Flight of the Conchords… FOR GIRLS?!  Starring Mindy Kaling?  Sign me up!

I’ve been into Mindy Kaling since The Office started, so this news has got me pretty excited.  Love her tweets, love Kelly Kapoor, love her shopping blog.  Kaling’s brand of subtle, slightly obnoxious humor is right up my alley.  In fact, I think me and Mindy Kaling could be the best of friends.

Mindy Kaling, call me the eff up already so we can effing BFF the eff up already.

Does Paris Want Brittany Out of Her Heir?

Posted by KAT in Paris Hilton's My New BFF

January 21st, 2009, 11:08 AM

Oh geez.  So anyone who watched Paris Hilton’s My New BFF knows the coveted BFFship was awarded to model/aspiring rocker Brittany Flickinger.  I was actually rooting for Brittany throughout the show, 90% because I like her style and 10% because the other girls had bad hair.

Superficial?  Me?  I’M SO SORRY I’m being shallow in choosing a best friend for Paris Hilton.  I totally need to watch The Hottie & the Nottie again and take a long look at myself.

But let’s get back to business.  So everyone had their doubts that Paris’s BFF from Paris Hilton’s My New BFF would actually turn out to be Paris’s BFF in real life, you follow?  Howevs, Paris and Brittany totally proved us all wrong when they started showing up like eeeeeverywhere together, leaving ne’er a photo-op unturned.

Peep this, for examps:

Paris Hilton's My New BFF: Paris Hilton & Brittany Flickinger

Joined at the Uggs!

Britts even blogged about it over the holidays!  Some choice excerpts:

“Paris and I have been going out almost every night to clubs, all kinds of openings, etc. We also hang at her house a lot (I don’t really go home to my place anymore ha ha). I think it’s safe to say that I’ve claimed one of the guest rooms. And yes, believe it or not, it’s pink.”

“Her mom even said to me, “Do you feel comfortable? Like this is your second family?” And I thought about it … like, OK,we just met, so maybe it would be kinda weird and coming off too strong if I said ‘yes’, but everyone was so nice and welcoming that I couldn’t help but say, “Yea. I do!””

“Paris’ friend Shayenne came to hang out with us, too, and I actually got a little insecure. It’s not really that she was insanely beautiful — it was that she and Paris were such good friends. I kinda felt out of the loop when she was around.”

Blah, then they went home and sat around and watched Gossip Girl.

HA!  All those things crack me up.  The pink guest room (believe it or not ha ha!), the creepy mom (omgah do NOT weird Kathy out, B!), the insecurity (oh noes! real bff!).  This is the stuff reality shows are made of!

But UH OH!  Trouble in PARISdise (see what I did there?)!  Page Six reports that sis Nicky can’t stand Britts and won’t let her stay at Jeffrey Katzenberg’s house (omg his house is DIVINE jk never been there) whilst they’re all at Sundance, forcing the girls to rent a condo.  Furthermore, Paris is totally ditching Brittany for Danity Kane singer Aubrey O’Day!

“PARIS, STOP LEAVING ME!!!” Brittany reportedly screams from a Utah clocktower (jk there’s no clocktower at Sundance jk i have no clue there might be).

So what think, folks?  Is Brittany’s tenure as Paris’s BFF over?  Are Paris’s pouty lips poised to spew a “TTYN” at her direction?

Who cares, am I right?
