RACHEL ZOE PHOTOCAP: The Italian Job
The Rachel Zoe project headed to Milan this week with a brief stop in London to fool around with Kate Hudson, who proved to be totally winsome. It was yet another international adventure for the team as they scoured fashion shows in search of the all necessary Oscar gowns for Demi and Cameron, both of whom would be walking the carpet naked (according to Brad) if things didn’t shape up soon. Sadly, for RZ, the gowns she wanted went elsewhere, which meant she then entered full panic mode (ie. longer blank stares between words). What ever will her clients do? GOWN-SASTER!
When Rachel wasn’t fretting over her dearth of couture, she was hobnobbing with the fashion elite, including Donatella Versace, who looked as grotesque as ever. I try to refrain from being too nasty when talking about people’s physical features, but when it comes to Donatella, let’s just say she should no longer shy away from the concept of orthodontics. Julianne Moore also made a cameo in the episode; although, truly her only major contribution to the evening as her casual confession that she does, in fact, love birds. Scoop by Bravo.

VIDEO: CeeLo Releases An Official Music Video For “F**K You”
Two weeks ago, CeeLo took the web by storm when he released his new catchy, awesome single “Fuck You” on YouTube. Now he’s just revealed the official video, which brings all the song’s fiery zest to an old school diner, complete with a trio of backup singers à la Little Shop of Horrors. Check out the newly minted video above (it’s only at a mere 338 views currently) and weigh in with your opinion. Personally, I think it’s a fun time, but I kind of like the simplicity of the original a little more, what with its speedy words flittering across the screen. Also, the little kid in this video does a terrible job lip-synching. But hey, at least CeeLo kept the language intact (as opposed to the radio version, which offers up the significantly more toothless alternative of “Forget You”).
COCKTAIL OF THE WEEK: Jessica Rabbit
Last week, after having purchased Organic, Shaken, and Stirred by Paul Abercrombie, I decided I would slowly make my way through the book, endeavoring to make at least one new cocktail a week. I started with a delicious basil margarita, which I’ve since made two more times to equally rave reviews. For this week’s cocktail, I decided to go a bit more exotic. Well, not exotic in terms of ingredients, but perhaps in terms of what one might order at a bar. I opted for the Jessica Rabbit, a libation that employs carrot juice and candied ginger. Ooooooooh. Color me intrigued.
And Now The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Heeeeeere we go again. Bravo is waltzing perilously close to over-saturation with the introduction of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but whatever. I’ll take it. The more the merrier, right? Well, maybe not so much. These women look fairly awful, but I of course base that on having seen their type waft down Rodeo Drive for years now (actually, Beverly and Canon are more their speeds). Among the ladies of this cast are Paris Hilton’s two aunts (one of whom looks like a mix of Demi Moore and, well, Paris herself) as well as Kelsey Grammer’s ex-wife, who I will always remember for appearing on Entertainment Tonight and speaking about the UTTER INDIGNITY of having her luggage examined at the airport. It’s hard to tell if this will be an amazing group or the worst thing ever, but one thing’s for sure: the whole faux-Dynasty look of it all means that it’ll probably be a campy good time. Here’s to hoping we get a few kitchen tables tossed for good measure (or is that more of a Jersey thing?)
Also, bonus points for casting a woman named Lisa VanderPump.
And bonus points for Lisa VanderPump looking like she just stumbled out of Falcon Crest.
REAL HOUSEWIVES REUNION PHOTOCAP: Crazy Vs. Stupid, Or Just Another Day In Jersey
At long last, Bravo aired the first “supersized” part of its much-anticipated Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion, and let’s just say this: we’ve come a long way, baby. I remember back in the day when a Real Housewives reunion consisted of a few generally polite ladies sitting around a cozy couch in what appeared to by Vicky Gunvalson’s den. Now the outlandish productions take place in casinos, and instead of friendly, if passive-aggressive, exchanges, we get hostile screaming and dramatic exits. Plus, for the first time, cameras actually left the couches and followed the women into their respective dressing rooms / corners where various handlers and hair dressers offered moral support and a calming influence. The whole debacle leant a distinctly pugilistic feel to the episode. All that was missing was Don King; although, with Caroline’s big hair, she came pretty close to filling that role.

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Ragan’s Balls Fly All Over The Place
I now have a difficult task in front of me. I have to recap an hour of Big Brother where very little happened. Sure, we got a new HOH, and sure, we have new nominees, but besides that, we got nothing going on in the BB house. That’s thanks to a final five which is entirely too chummy. Not only that, we have no heroes or villains. I guess Ragan is sort of a villain, but he’s also the underdog, and we all love underdogs. Lane has emerged as my favorite player, but a Lane victory has about as much drama as watching a gentle breeze urge a cotton ball along table (don’t get me wrong, that can be very dramatic, especially if scored by Philip Glass, but I think you know what I’m talking about).
That being said, there were some high points to this episode. I enjoyed the HOH competition quite a bit. Even though I already knew the outcome, the way it played out was quite nail-biting. Second, I enjoyed the silliness of Pandora’s Box. Let’s face it: nothing else is going on with these players, why not spend the time screwing with them. That’s exactly what the producers did. After new HOH (spoiler, if you haven’t seen it yet) Lane opened Pandora’s box and collected a whopping $91.17 in prizes from a money tree, the house had to endure three punishments. The first one we saw was the disappearance of cups and silverware for the week. It was a petty prank, but an effective one nonetheless. Color me crazy, but I’m more excited to see the next punishments than the outcome of this week.

REAL HOUSEWIVES REUNION PREVIEW: Are You Ready For Tonight?
Are you ready for the reunion of The Real Housewives of New Jersey tonight? Everyone’s buzzing about it, thanks to an action-packed preview video Bravo released last week. Well, guess what? We have more clips from tonight’s episode! Above, Teresa and Danielle try to cool down post-blowup with the help of Andy Cohen, Caroline, and two doting hair stylists, but it seems to be an exercise in futility.
After the jump, Andy Cohen gives us a very special halftime report from the set of the reunion that plays more or less like a really lame version of The Blair Witch Project. And yet, when Danielle arrives and says “I’m not going anywhere,” it’s somehow scarier than that movie…
JERSEY SHORE PHOTOCAP: Letter Signed, Sealed, Delivered.
At long last, the much hyped, ill-advised, totally inflammatory LETTER was delivered on this week’s episode of Jersey Shore., and as expected, it made waves. If you don’t know what the hell I’m talking about, let me fill you in: resident ‘roid abuser / Lollipop Guild member Ronnie has been fooling around with girls at the club and then coming back home to his lapdog girl-thing, Sammi. It’s pretty deplorable behavior, but what’s made it even worse is that Ronnie has made the rest of his house-mates swear to secrecy about his infidelity. Not much of a problem for the boyz, as the bros before hos rule can happily be employed at any given moment. For the girls, however, it’s been a different story. They’ve been forced into an awkward position where they must weigh their loyalty to Sammi (who’s been an idiot for sticking with Sammi for a whole variety of other reasons) against their desire to keep things calm and copacetic in the house. Faced with this untenable decision, J-WOWW and Snooki decided to do the mature thing: no, not tell Sammi and curse out Ronnie for being so selfish and inconsiderate as to put them in such a terrible place. Instead, they went to an Internet café and typed out an anonymous letter (using such advanced vocabulary as “wisely” and “boing”) that ratted out Ronnie. If this sounds like a bad idea, that’s because it is. However, I suppose when you’re twenty-one and half your brain’s been corroded away by hair spray, bronzer, and various Axe fumes, such decisions are bound to happen.
