Finally!

Project Runway is back! Yay! I've been waiting and waiting for it to start up again, and then of course, last night, I almost forgot that it was on! All I can say is thank god for tivo! We managed to start from the beginning around 20 after, and had totally caught up by the end. Looks like it's going to be a good season. Lots of catty personalities. About 30 seconds in, T declared that he could not stand Christian. I had to laugh. Not that T's homophobic or anything, but I think there's something about people who are so stereotypically "flaming" that really bothers him. Well, and Christian's ridiculous haircut and cocky attitude didn't really help matters.

It's still too early for me to pick a favorite just yet, but I think Rami has a lot of potential.

Why, Snoop, why?

I've always been frank about my obsession with reality tv and my love of Flava Flav as a completely ridiculous reality tv "character" but I just saw an online ad for a new show featuring Snoop Dogg on E! Ugh. I am officially tired of the whole "I'm just a normal celebrity superstar, but here's my wacky homelife" format. Osbournes...ok, it was among the first and the first season was pretty entertaining. But now we have people like Gene Simmons jumping on the bandwagon, and even people of very marginal fame, like Aaron Spelling and Rod Stewart's kids or that Kardashian bimbo, getting their own shows.

Don't get me wrong. I love Snoop. I think he's great. I've always cracked up when he's turned up in a cameo in some random movie, like Starsky & Hutch. But I don't understand this trend of rappers turning themselves into these silly caricatures for the sake of longevity or "expanding their brand." It makes me think of that episode of Entourage where every agency pitching Vince did this montage of name brands ending with his name ("Microsoft. Disney. Coca-Cola. Vincent Chase). Case in point? The aforementioned ad featured a bumper sticker that said "My kid is the Shiznit." I know you can't rap forever, but is this really how you ultimately want to be remembered? What's next man, sitting next to Coolio in the center square?
