YAY! I managed to get a Roundtable up this week afterall! You have no idea the amount of amazing one-liners and zingers that just sit in my inbox when I lack the ability to get one of these things up in time. If you watched last night's performance show, then you probably have an idea of where we're going with this. Especially if you tuned in for the liveblog. The steaming cowpie awaits you... JB* We've got family interviews and kid pictures to open tonight, but it is only [...]
Hey, it's Tuesday already. Whaddyaknow. If you're here for the liveblog (the both of you) then it will be going live at 8pm. You can access it by clicking below: Click Here If you are here for the weekly Roundtable preview, then I highly suggest that you click this here jump button... Matt_T: This theme week is usually my favorite of the season. We get to see the singers do something current rather than [...]
We've survived yet another Motown week on Idol, and once again, nobody was tragically murdered while in the D. Heartbreaking, I know. As always, your Roundtable is here to discuss the events of last night with the usual detailed run-down on what transpired. The usual formatting errors and shenanigoats await you after the jump... Matt_T: Another week and another somewhat surprising lack of trainwreckness. Matt - Let's Get it On: He was alright, but this was kind of boring. The judges overly praised it, but [...]
Some quick news this week before the recap. Heidi and Spencer eloped and got married. MTV can't be happy they did that without it being for their cameras. I wonder how long it will take for this event to show up on the show. We start this week with Audrina and her work buddy. Audrina says she's had a crappy week, a friend of a friend told her that JB and LC hooked up. Audrina says she called her when she first heard and Lauren said she has no idea what she's [...]
We start out this week with the gang loading on the private jet to head to Cabo. Brody asks what the plan is and DougDoug says he has a surprise for them. Audrina and LC are sharing earbuds. I wonder if they are listening to Natasha Beddingfield? Frankie asks Audrina why she isn't talking to JustinBobby. She says they aren't together and he's going to hook up with other girls. Lauren says they all left a lot in LA, s they should just not worry about that this weekend. I'm sure that will happen. [...]
We start this week at the girls house, where Lo is helping Lauren with her fashion school homework. Lauren thanks her for helping and asking if she has plans that night, because she is going to have a drink with Holly. She says Heidi told Holly that it was fine, but Lauren is worried that Holly is trying to play matchmaker. Audrina is eating in the Epic cafeteria with her work friend and says she is going on a date with some boy named Colin. She hasn't told JustinBobby yet, [...]
Lauren and Whitney are at the gym, and Lauren is doing some weak punching with a trainer, while Whitney is sitting on a mat doing some curls. They talk about what happened with Stephanie and the trainer decides to give his opinon. He says that you doin't go out with your friends exes and she should have a good excuse. Hey, its Britney's new song. Lauren's at school texting on her phone when Stephanie comes up. Steph says hello, and Lauren gives her the cold shoulder. Stephanie how Italy was [...]
Lauren is packing for Italy and Audrina tells her to bring some heels, but LC says that no one in Italy wears heels. Lo and Audrina send her off, and they say they'll have fun while she's gone. She drives off and the other two look slightly scared. Stephanie comes by the house and buzzes to be let in. Audrina says Lauren isn't in. Steph says she knows and wants to talk to Audrina. OMINOUS. Audrina says she's been cooking a lot this week and hanging out with Lo. Aww, I'm glad her and Lo are being friends. [...]
We start this week at Speidi's place and Holly wants to know what they are doing tonight. Heidi said they're cooking dinner. Holly wants to go out, but Heidi has to work in the morning. Holly only knows them and Lauren. Holly tried to keep up with her but they kind of drifted apart. Spencer lets her know that as long as she lives there, that she will not be hanging out with Lauren. How nice. Spencer is now trying to run both Heidi and her sister's life. Lauren and [...]
Lauren, Lo and Steph are looking up jails in the phonebook. Lo wants to know why they got arrested and Lauren says that's what boys do. As they're trying to find a bails bondsman Frankie comes in with DougDoug and Brody. Brody and Doug are laughing, they were in the casino jail. As they were leaving some drunk guy accosted them about partying with them. DougDoug and Brody declined his offer and the drunk guy wasn't too happy and punched DougDoug in the chest and he shoved him and bloody mary ended up all over everyone. DougDoug says it was [...]
Lauren, Lo and Steph show up to go to Vegas on DougDoug's private jet. I'm curious as to how a minor league baseball player has a jet. Bud Selig needs to look into this. They get on the jet, and everyone's excited. Steph asks why Audrina and JustinBobby aren't riding with them. LC tells her its a long story and looks rather exhasperated. Brody proposes a toast to Steph. He says he's not going to hold a grudge, but having her there is almost like having Spencer there. Ooh, sick burn. [...]

We start this week at People's Revolution and Whitney is going to NY right away because that's how Kelly works. Whitney's going to pack lots of black. She asks LC about DougDoug and LC's lukewarm on him, she thought she'd jump back in how it used to be, but there's no spark. Whitney says she should go and head dump him, if that's what she wants to do. LC just doesn't 'want to have that conversation.' LC, go ahead and get over with, no one likes to be led on. [...]
This gave me pause, and it should do the same to anyone with half a brain. Where did the magic happen? Nick: We did a lot of the work on a studio bus while we were touring with Miley Cyrus. Kevin: And we completed the record at Studio Wishbone in L.A. There's a serious difference between "the work" and "the record" in the parallel structure there, and, for goshsakes, the question is a time-old "How [...]
Stephanie and LC are at school and Steph invites Lauren to her party. Lauren wants to bring DougDoug, who is a baseball player but injured. (And its not Mike Hampton.) Stephanie ominously says that athletes are her favorite. She also says she hasn't spoken with Speidi in weeks. Lauren and DougDoug are on a lunch date. They compliment each other, blahblah. She invites him to the party this weekend and he says he'll be there. Audrina is pretending working and tells her coworker about the party and Lo. Audrina [...]
Hi boys and girls. We're back for Season 4 of the best 'reality' show ever. Rumor is this could be the last seasoon. We get a quick recap of what happened last season. Lauren ominously says that that sometimes things have to get worse before they get better. Off we go. People's Revolution and LC and Whitney are chatting and LC mentions she has a date tonight. Its some guy she used to date named Doug. They dated some when she was 18, he went to a different school and she went to his prom. "Doug....Doug" says Whitney. [...]
LIKE OMG! DO U GUYS KN0W WHATS C0MING 0UT T0DAY?!?! JO BROS!!! ZOMG! WHAT 3LS3 TH1S W33K?!? L3T'Z JUMP! Do you think that worked? Can we get ourselves back to our once regular 2K a day page views with some Jonas Brothers action? COME TO ME TWEENS! (No, not really, I mean it. Stay away, Chris Hanson.) However, we'd be remiss not to acknowledge that this is the biggest commercial release of the week, [...]

Well, unless you have a secret thing for Miley Cyrus (the police aren't coming yet... ) it is a pretty meh week for new releases. Oh, wait - you've heard me say that before right? The hipsters are happy though, cause Black Kids' album is finally coming out... It's like American Apparel has a house band. And if you aren't a hipster douchebag...Well, there's always 90s nostalgia... [...]
I will be using the "Bring On The Rapture" tag liberally for VIBE 's utterly asinine NCAA-style bracket to crown the Best Rapper Alive, but, first, a snapshot of the stupidity. The Play-In Round : Jim Jones vs. Diddy Seriously, I could have lived the rest of my life without giving either one of these guys a second thought as an artist. Jones' career highlight is the moronic "We Fly High," with its "BALLIN'!" an insidious echo; Diddy's is basically reappropriating "Every [...]

That is Heidi and Meghan McCain. Season 4 of the Hills starts August 18th. I wonder if Meghan will be making an appearance. photo found at The Superficial
