That is way too much information for me to be hearing...You're an adult. You're what 23 years old. You're not in high school.

Inexplicably Jay and Adam are planning an art show and this will be the central plot device of the show this week.

First, Whitney invites Olivia to the party and when she tries to update her on the drama Olivia will have none of it. Apparently she is too mature and wise to hear about these trivial happenings. (She needs to learn that one of her jobs is to listen to the recaps and not what is happening. Someone didn't pay attention to the Hills. If you don't ask the questions or you get sick of the drama you may lose your job, both the one the show and your real job. This happened to that chick from Bolthouse who Heidi took the promotion from.) The worst part about Olivia's speech wasn't the demeaning tone or the way her voice flipped from fake to disgusted it was the fact that Whitney just took it. She wouldn't even complain about the rude treatment later to Erin. Doesn't she know she is the star. LC would not have put up with this type of treatment.

So then the big art opening happens and Cat decides she needs to tell Allie the truth. He never said he had a girlfriend, they kissed, and this is true information female to female. Allie is crying and finally heads for the bathroom. Thank God because this was unbelievably awkward and even slightly painful to watch. Whitney even has to cover her eyes. Whitney tries to console her and then Adam comes to try to deny everything. I mean at this point it is getting harder and harder to deny it but as my husband said, "he's too far in." Annoyingly this drama ends with a conversation on the streets of NYC and the use of the word honey a million times. There was also a good lesson from Allie about what it means to be empathetic vs. actually feeling something. (Dinner at the end of the show coupled with next weeks preview I forsee a whole season of lies and them staying together.)


Olivia and Nevan attend the party and then later dish about the 'scene' and bad mouth "down town hipsters" who sport "fedoras" or "whatever like the look is". I can scarcely believe Olivia would deign to discuss the high school like topics with Nevan. She apparently does not feel superior to him. He doesn't purposely hang with those feckless hipsters. They are so pretentious and am already a little sick of them. Olivia is concerned about Whitney diversifying her friend group while she and Nevan can't think of any friends they have that aren't socials.

Also Jay receives heat from Whitney because if his friend is capable of this who knows the kind of stuff he might try to pull in the future. He is not pleased to be considered guilty by association.


**In Gossip Girl news: Rerun of the episode of either Bart's funeral or the one where he dies. Also I read in US Weekly (I don't normally read it but JLH is on the cover) that they are going to pilot a show that chronicles Lily's wild youth in California. Sounds promising.

Do you want to have a baby?

Quick Big Love note. I am watching. It is too jam packed with happenings for me to document and still enjoy. It looks like Sarah is pregnant and this is by far the biggest news. The wives are still caught up in the dating the potential fourth wife and are really concerned about Nicki's fertility (turns out she is secretly taking birth control and that is the real reason she hasn't concieved. Bill sold the casino to be built on tribal lands. Also his business partner's 2nd and 3rd wife ran off together. There were about 50 other interesting things that happened.

The thing he doesn't understand is that he doesn't understand

Profound words from little Chris about one of the other dudes.
*The best part of Bromance is Sleazy T and Frankie Delgado. It is very challenging to find photos of Sleazy T. Be on the look out. ( I have a little crush on him, maybe it is his name?)

This week on Bromance Brody tricks the fellas to see who will keep it real in the face of Hollywood glamour and tell him the truth. Brody tells them he is launching a line of BJ jeans. They are very tight, low, and have bedazzling all over it (they aren't real) He has all the guys wear the jeans and walk the "red carpet." This is of course after they have been at the spa being manscaped, wearing the jeans, makeup and little pink tank tops. Only one guy tells Brody that these jeans are lame and it is Femi. He is worried about Brody going out and embarassing himself so he tells him. Brody plays the part of being hurt. Femi after telling him the truth still ends up doing all the stuff to support his boy. He then wins a cool outfit to go out in and some special bonding with Brody.
For the second half of the episode the guys were hanging with the playmate of the year and unbeknownst to them trying to make a good impression. The winner ended up being little Chris who got to go in the hot tub with not one but to playmates. I like little Chris but I am not sure that he and Brody are meant to be.
Brody ends up eliminating Alex at a Japanese restaurant after drinking lots of sake. Then he gets bum rushed out the door by the sushi chefs. Next episode is the season finale and I am looking forward to it.

I'm just reading the Brown catalog and I ordered a home dreadlocking kit

Really creepy. Rufus and Lily are back together (and having loud sex) and so are Serena and Dan even creepier.

Today is the day the kids find out about Yale. Dan is in. Serena is in but lying about it and Blair is wait listed. She can't go to Princeton, that is a trade school and you know Brown is full of Trustafarians. What will she do? Typical Blair things manipulate and lie or just wait for Serena to turn her acceptance down and then move into her place. Serena actually wants to go to Brown. But it is unclear what will happen with her and Dan.

Teach for America produced the new teacher at the school. (boo) She looks like she is very, very young. And she will probably turn out to be bad somehow. She crossed Blair already and that will be a mistake. She might also have a crush on Dan? Blair tries to ruin her and she takes down Blair in the form of detention and getting her back on the Yale wait list.

Chuck is trying to exact revenge on the uncle Jack. He has to recruit Lily to help him. She just wants to mother him which is admirable but he is not at all interested and she is going to help him. The way she does it is by adopting Chuck and becoming his legal guardian. Uncle Jack tries to rape Lily at the Opera in the powder room. Chuck repays Lily by busting down the door and saving her. She will give Chuck the company on his 18th birthday in exchange for being in Lily's family. He is moving back in to her house.

There'll be repercussions

Adam, the roommate of Jay, becomes a major player in the episode. He has a girlfriend Allie who is a model. She is very strange looking. Bags under her eyes and lots of angles and she does a lot of sniffing. She also has very flat affect and I don't get it. He is 10 times better looking than her, not an exaggeration. So it is not surprising when she goes out of town and something scandalous happens. And to keep things relevant the person that is involved is a friend of a friend of Whitney. The girls and Whitney are going to have to tell her the truth and drama ensues. They are sitting outside in the rain at Cafeteria (I don't think the restaurant would let them film inside) and Olivia holds up her ring finger to show how "so full on" she and Adam are. Adam tried to nip it in the bud (and creates an awkward drive from the airport conversation) but it is too late and the episode ends with Allie in tears. He is sorry honey and he promises never to do it again. (Right)

Olivia continues to be ridiculous. We see her shopping for Art with Nevan (cousin, you know how I feel about him) because she couldn't make it the auction at Christie's. He is needing to get a job so that his dad will un-cut him off. He talks Olivia into letting him crash on the couch. Not all surprising Olivia has a small "purse dog" at her house. Surprisingly she makes a no "strange chicks" in the apartment rule for Nevan. I did not think he was straight. Way to keep things interesting MTV. Hilarious exchange. Nevan has some super "comf" shoes that are so hideous that Olivia insists he have some new shoes messenger ed over.

As I had feared MTV is needing to spice things up. They had to do another "this season on the City." Blogs to look forward to a trip to Miami, a confrontation between Kelly Catrone and Allie, Allie and the other woman confrontation, Jay moving in with Whitney, and Jay and Whitney fighting about a liar.

I believe in Bromance because...

Bromance was full of the usual hilarity. Brody sent the boys on a camping trip and then brought in a life coach. The life coach made most of the guys cry and then made them say why they believe in bromance before they did a trust fall. (Ridiculous) Two highlights of this show Frankie and Sleazy T show up with an alligator and put it in the tent with the guys. Also the elimination ceremony was highly entertaining. After camping the guys needed to clean up so Brody had 5 tubs full of bubble bath and chicks in bikinis. Unfortunately one of those tubs was for Brody and one of the guys was going home. I am sorry to say that it was Gary. He did love those shoes that LC had on also it seemed like he was a little too nice. All the guys were telling stories about times they had with the ladies but Gary was talking about cuddling and love making. He didn't have a chance.

Mr. President

Today I will remember for the rest of my life. I will remember exactly where I was and who I was with when Barack Obama was inaugurated. On this fine and momentous day my hat is off to our new President and of course my favorite Keith Olberman is keeping me up on the happenings. (I don't even believe the news until MSNBC tells me it. )I am now watching the Neighborhood Ball and the Commander in Chief ball. I wish I was in D.C. right now.
